Brr...Brr... Her phone rang; it was a call from Jake. Cass pursed her lips; what was his deal? They had not spoken since the humiliating encounter at the store; now, he was not only sending messages but calling her. With a smirk, she accepted the call. "Hello, Jake. To what do I owe the pleasure?" Scar and Amanda turned their heads so fast it caused a whiplash. Cass put her fingers to her lips to silence them. Jake's voice came through, filled with frustration and annoyance. "Cass, what the hell is going on? I can't believe you're parading around with some billionaire. Do you think this is going to make me jealous? Because let me tell you, it's not working." Cass couldn't help but laugh at his words. "Whoa, slow down, cowboy, you are tripping on your words. Oh, Jake, you're still as predictable as ever. Believe it or not, this date has nothing to do with you. And jealousy? That ship sailed a long time ago when you got engaged to Stacey, remember." There was a moment of silence o
Father? Cass was dumbstruck. Marcus's father, Mr. Gabe Wells, was Standing tall at around six feet; he possessed an air of authority and confidence that commands attention. Mr. Gabe's ruggedly handsome features were so similar to Marcus's, with a strong jawline, chiseled facial structure, and piercing, intelligent eyes that seemed to hold a wealth of life experiences. His salt-and-pepper hair, expertly styled, added to his distinguished appearance. Despite the touch of gray, Gabe's hair retained a lustrous sheen, hinting at a meticulous grooming routine and attention to detail. Dressed in a tailored suit that fitted him perfectly, Mr. Gabe exuded elegance and refinement. The fabric of his suit draped flawlessly over his broad shoulders and trim physique, accentuating his commanding presence. Mr. Gabe Wells was the most powerful figure in the city, Heck, in the entire country. He was known to be a recluse and only attended ten functions in a year, but here she was, staring right at
Cass couldn't help but ask, "So... Who is Alex?" Marcus's face tensed up, his eyes narrowing slightly. The mention of Alex seemed to stir up a mix of emotions within him. "Alex is my stepbrother," he explained, his voice tinged with frustration. "My dad had an affair and he was the result. It's a long story I don't want to get into now but he's always wanted what I have, anything I get, he wants to take from me be it cars or women" "He had an affair with my ex-girlfriend Victoria, I caught them and now they are married." Cass's eyebrows furrowed as she processed the information. She couldn't help but feel a surge of empathy for Marcus, knowing the personal struggles he faced within his own family. "Was your father aware?" Cass asked Marcus laughed "He was" "He is not exactly your ideal image of a father" Marcus continued scornfully "He simply said and I quote "You aren't married to her yet, let your brother have her" and that was the end of that discussion". "That's why I initi
"Mr. Wells, the B-team just reported a situation" Caleb, the head of security said. Cass looked around worriedly but couldn't see the source of the commotion "Okay take him to the basement, I will be there shortly" Caleb said speaking into his earpiece, his voice firm and authoritative. "Sorry Mr Wells, someone was seen snooping around and taking pictures with a wide-range camera. I have asked that he be taken to the basement" Caleb continued Marcus nodded in approval his jaw set with a mix of anger and concern, "Thank you, Caleb. I want to know who sent him and why." Caleb motioned for the guards to take their leave and give Marcus and Cass their privacy and Cass couldn't help but feel a sense of relief knowing that Marcus's security team was quick to react and protect them. "Sorry about that Cass" Marcus said With the intrusion behind them, Marcus and Cass continued their date, eager to make the most of the evening. "So... Can I ask a question?" Marcus asked "Sure" Cass said
Marcus chuckled and walked out of the basement. He already had information that Cass's ex-boyfriend Jake had sent the spy. He just needed confirmation. To be honest, He had been surprised to find out it wasn't Alex as he had expected. "Mr. Marcus, What should we do with him?" Caleb asked Marcus smiled. "Let's send a message, shall we? Send him back to his boss and put the Judge on the line" Marcus said, walking to his room. Marcus loved walking through his hallway and seeing the numerous photographs of his late mother. The picture that stood out the most was the twelve-foot image that took up most of the wall; It was the last time his mother had been happy and had a smile on her face. Marcus shook his head; he had promised himself to only think of his mother in her happy days. Noticing Caleb walking behind him silently, he asked, "What is it?" "The judge has been placed on call sir" Caleb informed him. "Okay, I will be taking a shower now. Tell him to hold onto that call; thirt
As Cass stepped onto the sprawling grounds of Marcus's multimillion-dollar mansion, her eyes widen with a mix of awe and wonder. She had stepped into houses of the rich and famous when she was a lawyer but this was far more grand than anything she had ever seen. The exterior of the mansion was a sight to behold, It was an architectural masterpiece. The grand entrance with its double doors and intricate carvings made her feel like she was entering a castle. The white walls were accentuated by beautifully manicured gardens, bursting with vibrant flowers and lush greenery. They kept driving down a lawn that didn't seem to end. Finally, Cass could see the hint of a mansion up ahead. The car stopped but Cass was still in a trance at the beauty of the house. "You can come in this way Miss Thorton" The chauffeur said pointing towards the door. She had been so struck that she hadn't noticed the chauffeur step down or open the car door. "WOW!!!" Cass said as she looked up. Cass steps int
Cass was in awe, Who takes a chopper to a family dinner? How do you even get to live on a private island? She was once again reminded of their societal difference. As Cass and Marcus made their way to the helipad, Cass's eyes widened in awe at the sight of the sleek and sophisticated helicopter awaiting them. It was a far cry from anything she had seen in the movies, it was much more grand and intimidating. "I hope you don't mind the chopper ride," Marcus said, sensing her apprehension. Cass nodded, trying to hide her nervousness. "No, of course not. It's just... I've never been in a helicopter before." Marcus smiled reassuringly, taking her hand in his. "Don't worry, it's perfectly safe. I'll be here with you, and the views are breathtaking." Caleb looked towards the other guard and raised his brow, Mr. Wells was not known for public shows of affection nevertheless reassuring anyone. Taking a deep breath, Cass stepped into the helicopter, her heart pounding with both excitement
"Hello you must be Alex, I have heard so much about you" Cass said politely Cass walked toward Mr Gabe "Good day sir, sorry for coming in late" Mr. Gabe smiled "It's not a problem, Your beautiful face is worth it" Nova turned sharply at the compliment Mr. Gabe gave Cass, he had never complimented her he mostly ignored her presence. She tripped and fell forward towards Marcus who grabbed her and immediately spun her towards Alex who huffed as he hurriedly grabbed her. Marcus left a disgruntled Alex and walked towards his father "Hello Dad" He said placing his hands on Cass's waist to her surprise. Mr Gabe, who had been watching his family's theatrics smiled "Let's have dinner, shall we?" Marcus pulled Cass's chair out and she smiled as she saw Nova stare at her husband to pull hers out too but he didn't notice, finally, Nova seats and dinner commences. The doors open and the chef comes in with a server pushing in a trolley of meals and another bringing in the wine. Cass's mouth
