Cassie’s POV

I tried to search for the right words to say but nothing came out when I parted my lips.

“For who?” I mumbled, knowing that I sounded dumb right now. But the truth was that; I was still not comfortable with his nice gestures and I fear that I never will.

“Do you like it?” He asked, ignoring my question.

“It’s beautiful but I hope it’s not for me.”

“You need to get used to this lifestyle,” Shawn mumbled. He took the necklace off the box, tossed the box aside, then walked behind me.

“You smell so good.” He whispered and kissed the nape of my neck. I swallowed painfully when I felt him place the jewelry on my neck. He did that easily because my hair was not in the way. It was parked in a bridal style.

Shawn slowly twirled me around.

“Perfect! You make the jewelry beautiful.”

His statement made reality hit me. “Was that why Tina didn’t want me to use my necklace?”

“You deserve something timeless so I told her I was going to take care of it.” My husband said, calmly.

    Cassie’s Pov.I tried to take Shawn’s hands off my waist but he just wouldn’t budge. “We had a deal. You said you wouldn’t be nasty.”“I need to know what’s going on in your head before you begin to accuse me.” He said like someone who had done nothing wrong.“I had no idea why my heart was racing fast. The thought of him doing silly things to me in public scared me. Sadly, I was beginning to anticipate it even though I didn’t want it.‘Shut up! You want his dick so much!’ my subconscious mocked me.“We are going to be at the party. In the midst of reputable people like you said. How in hell would your mind be elsewhere?”“We shall see, honey.” He leaned close and placed a kiss on my forehead. “You don’t have to be nervous. I won’t let you feel pain and neither would I embarrass you.” “Please let’s get out of here,” I mumbled, not trusting myself anymore. Shawn pulled me closer. “Scared?”“We are going to be late,” I grumbled, ignoring the tingling feelings in my stomach.“I’ll be

    Cassie’s POV The driver pulled before a tall and exquisite building. He opened the door for Shawn. Shawn got down and then made his way to the other side of the car. He opened the door for me, then stretched out a hand to help me down. I accepted it while thanking him in a low tone. He politely pulled me closer to him, then placed his hand on the small of my back. “Remember, you are not to leave my side, don’t pay attention to anyone who gawks at you, and let me know if you feel uncomfortable or if anyone messes with you.” The possessiveness in Shawn’s voice instantly made me feel secure. Regardless, I was curious to see what an elite’s party entailed. “Ready?” Shawn asked, then took a slow glance at me. From head to toe. “I hope I’m not putting myself in danger for bringing you here in this fit.” “I think you hype me too much. I’m not bothered because I know I am not going to be best dressed. I’m sure every woman in there has been attending parties like this since forever so th

    Cassie’s Pov Travous’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. “Pardon my reaction, Cassie. I was shocked because we thought he was never going to settle down. Thank you for making him realize marriage can be such a beautiful thing. And it’s good to meet you.” He stretched out a hand to me and I smiled, returning the shake. “Happy Birthady! And good to meet you too.” “Thank you. You look gorgeous by the way.” He said to me, then turned to Shawn. “Aren’t you a lucky thing?” “Thank you,” I responded with a nervous chuckle, finding it hard to believe a mogul was complimenting me. “I know I am. That’s why I’m not going to let anyone take her away from me.” “I should probably introduce her to Mary,” Travous said, then his eyes went searching the crowd for the person bearing that name. Shawn leaned close to me and stole a kiss from me. My eyes went wide. “We are in the public,” I said looking at his lips for any trace of evidence but there was none.He smiled. “So?” “Be good!” I warned

    Lauretta’s Pov The driver pulled up before the venue, came down from the limo, then opened the door for us. My mom got down first, then I followed suit.“You look sad. What is it, my child?” My mom asked me; the worry not leaving her face. “The press. They should be here taking pictures and flooding them on social media. How are my friends going to know that I attended this party in a limo?” I grumbled.“Come on, sweets. We can always take pictures ourselves.” “Yes, I know. But wouldn’t it be honorable if they saw the videos and pictures on the top bloggers’ page? They would be so shocked, especially the ones who doubted me.”“True but you shouldn’t jump to conclusions. I am sure the press are inside. Maybe two or three. You know this is a private party and it was hard to get a pass too. Don Travous probably wants to respect and protect the privacy of his guests.” Rhoda said but I was still not convinced. I already envisioned how today was meant to be. By this time, I was to be po

    Lauretta’s Pov My chest continued to rise and fall in anger as I stared at the witch before me. Tell me why the hell she was seated beside a very handsome man. A man who looks better than Joel. Or could he be my husband? I swear I was going to rip her hair off if the man beside her turned out to be the man that my mother carefully picked for me. After accessing him, my eyes went back to Cassie. I swallowed painfully seeing her dress in more detail. As someone who spent most of her life obsessing about designer items, even though I couldn’t afford them, I could tell which outfit was real or fake. My heart sank in the realization of what Cassie was wearing. It was an exclusive piece designed for the high and mighty. I wasn’t sure about the exact figure but the price was capable of buying me all the luxury stuff I needed in my life right now.I thought I had seen it all when my eyes landed on her neckpiece. Even a dullard would know that that was some real diamonds. No, this can’t be

    Lauretta’s pov“What the hell?” I cursed, coming face-to-face with the culprit. The guests who occupied the tables next to us were starting to stare but I couldn’t care less. It was a huge disrespect for Cassie to be under the same roof as me tonight. He was an elderly man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, he smelled and looked rich, and I almost gasped at the sight of his wristwatch. I saw that clearly when he placed the glass of champagne back on the table. But I was confused. How did Cassie get to know these people?“Donald?” I heard my mom utter in disbelief. I turned to face her and saw her staring with wide eyes.“You know him, mama?” “He is meant to be the father of the cripple?” My mom responded. That was meant to be a whisper but the whole table heard that.Donald took slow steps towards the other side of the table, stood beside Cassie, then tucked a hand in his pocket. “Good to see you, Rhoda.” My mom frowned at him. “What are you doing here?

    Cassie’s Pov I let out a deep sigh the moment those two stepped away.“Okay, what just happened here?” Kelvin chuckled in disbelief, looking in between me and his Dad who was still standing beside me. I was grateful they were here. They protected me. Something I never got in my own family. “Where is Shawn and why did he leave his wife all to herself?” Donald asked, by the look in his eyes, it was evident that he was not happy with this.Kelvin frowned. “I’m here, Dad.”“Where the hell did Shawn go?” “Am I not capable of looking after my sister-in-law?” “That crazy child was almost spilling the drink on her. Thanks to my intervention.” Donald explained. “Yeah, you saved the day but I wouldn’t have let that happen. I saw you coming so I predicted you would stop that.” Kelv explained. “Shawn is with Don Travous for some meeting. Who are they and how did they get in here? They seem to be very familiar with you both.” Kelvin asked and I swallowed painfully. It was evident that Shawn

    Lauretta’s povMy eyes went wide. I had taken a very detailed look at our dresses and I could bet that anyone would mistake it for being original. If they were unrealistic, trust me, Mom and I wouldn’t be putting them on. She had to be a designer or a witch. But I bet you that it’s the latter! “They are not, okay! And don’t you dare speak nasty about us?” I said in a very low tone, not wanting to make a scene especially since the hall was kind of quiet.I hadn’t even achieved anything tonight and my mental health was a mess already.“Ignore them, my love. We will come back to them later.” Mom assured me.“We need to find a way to expose her. This is not fair. Everyone is staring at her with so much admiration. They need to know who she truly is.”“I can let go of everything but not her trying to steal my man,” I said as that witch finally got to the stage.Shawn held out his hand, waiting to receive her.I turned to Mom once again. “Where the hell is her cripple husband?

    Cassie’s Pov The desk I was seated on was so perfect. It was as though it was made for us because Shawn could comfortably fuck me on it. It was only now I realized how hard silent sex was. It was difficult stuffing in my moans because I didn’t want anyone to suspect us, especially when the sex was so good. “I’ve been wanting to do this since I saw you in this dress.” “Your cock!” I moaned as I felt my eyes heavy with tears. Tears of pleasure!There was something so different about the way Shawn was making love to me right now. His pace was not fast and neither was it slow. It was just perfect and what made it more intense was the fact that we couldn’t touch each other as much as we wanted so as not to ruin our dress or my makeup. It felt as though we were trying to be good kids while slightly violating the rules. “What about it, baby?” His voice filled with desire as he continued to drill me.“Feels so good.” I moaned. Shawn pulled me down from the table, he bent me over the de

    Lauretta’s POV “Cassie’s name as one of the donors of Risseus? Are you freaking kidding me?” I challenged Joel, ignoring whatever my mom said. “What did she even do to deserve that? It’s hardly a month since she got married and she did to a cripple. Not Shawn. I really do not understand what is going on but Shawn is not being truthful either.” I said at a go, ignoring the tricks that my mind was playing on me about Cassie having a better life than me.“I get that you are furious but I am only telling you what I know. That document didn’t look fake and besides, my uncle instantly got a text from the estate company, congratulating him on being a resident.”“What?” I said in disbelief, my eyes wide. “Also, he wouldn’t want to ruin his reputation before his father and brother,” Joel said.I frowned. “His father and brother are in there?” “When we got to the dessert table, you left me to go attend to some people.” I shook my head. “That was my step-sister, her lover, and her asshole fa

    Cassie’s Pov “How dare you lay your filthy hands on my…….” My mother challenged, about to hit Cassie in the face but Cas held Rhoda’s hand halfway, stopping her before she even finished making her sentence. She pushed my mom and soon enough, my mother was on the floor beside me. I was confused as to how she had the power to toss us away like we weighed nothing. “Don’t you dare call me names in your life anymore!” Cassie warned, pointing at us as though we were some piece of shit.“You all, don’t mind her, please.” My mom started to defend us because truly, the situation was embarrassing. Being treated like this before the cream of society means we were done for good. I brought my finger up to my face and wiped tears away from the corner of my eyes. “She’s an ungrateful child. Ever since she lost her parents, I have been the one taking care of her and fending for her but just look at how she repaid me for all the love that I showered on her?” my mom sniffled. “I loved her even more

    Lauretta’s Pov My hand didn’t land on Cassie’s face because a hand held me. The hold was strong, possessive even, and blood stopped flowing in that area.“Who the fu……” I tried to wriggle myself out of the hold, then took a glance at the face of the hand that held me.The furiousness on my face instantly faded away and was replaced with a smile. “Sha…..aw…..n Hi baby.” I smiled even bigger, even though staying polite right now was the most difficult thing to do because of how tight his grip was on me. I swallowed painfully at the glare he threw my way. “What baby?” I almost jumped on my feet at the tone of his voice. Do I disgust him that much?“Please let go of her, my son. She was only trying to defend herself against this pornstar.” my mom said, coming to a halt beside me. “She is right, honey. She’s a fraud. You shouldn’t be with her.” I said with pleading eyes. I took a glance at Cassie who stood opposite me. My anger increased seeing how confident she was. “You bitch! Shoul
