LOGINCassandraOf course, you know that he knows the news about my upcoming marriage to Sebastian. But I never expected that at this moment he would dare to appear in front of me.His expression was calm; he sat there, and Sebastian was in front of him. As I looked around, Miles was nowhere to be seen. I was certain that Sebastian had already instructed Genna to take him to his room.The fatigue in my body felt even heavier when I saw him. I exhaled and stood beside Sebastian. Looking at him, it felt as if I were exchanging thoughts with him telepathically.“He just arrived. Said he wanted to say something,” he said, with a hint of hesitation.I wanted Sebastian to immediately send him away, but I was certain that he behaved this way because he was thinking about me.So I looked at Alex, my father, who still hadn’t received any acknowledgment from me.“What brings you here?” I asked, intending to resolve our matters as quickly as possible.The fact is, I wasn’t angry with him, I held no gr
CassandraIt was quite surprising to see them here. Hearing what Erica said made me worry about her.After saying that, she immediately approached me and spoke in a whisper.“Sandra, I came here after asking around for your address without telling you first.”Her eyes shifted to the side. I realized she was looking at Miles. I could also see that she looked a little uneasy.“I’m sorry for coming here. But Tucker asked me to. He’s really sad because Miles never answers his calls.”Now I understood why she was acting like that. And when I looked at Tucker, he immediately walked over to Miles.Miles seemed to ignore him.Usually, they had a very close relationship. They often talked together and shared many things.This situation also made me uneasy. As I looked back at Erica, she added,“Tucker overheard my argument with Cillian. He became hysterical and immediately insisted on meeting Miles.”As a mother, I could understand what he was feeling right now. Seeing him like this, I held hi
CassandraWe had slowly begun preparing for the wedding. I didn’t want everything to feel too sudden.Besides, the wedding would only happen once everything had been properly arranged—especially the house we would live in. But news about our relationship had already spread widely.‘Sandra Astor is rumored to be marrying Sebastian Monclair soon. They are building their own palace.’I didn’t know how many times I had come across articles about him and me, but I only skimmed through them and moved on.Of course, some said that I was a naive woman who had been pretending all this time not to want Sebastian, yet kept forcing him to stay close to me. And in the end, I accepted him.They claimed that all I wanted was to take advantage of Sebastian.As I read that, I smirked. They truly knew nothing and were only trying to bring down the person they considered the weakest—the woman.My attention shifted when Alden placed a cup of coffee in front of me.“Why do you look so serious, Miss? What
CassandraToday, we had a guest at the house. In the past, whenever she came, her eyes would immediately scan every corner of the place, which made me feel tense.After that, she would speak in an unpleasant tone. Every time she did that, I felt an overwhelming fear that triggered my anxiety, making me question whether I had failed in my role as a wife.This time was different. When she entered the house, her gentle gaze fell on me, and then she hugged me.“Sandra, I’m so happy to see you.”It felt strange. I wasn’t used to Julie showing kindness toward me.“Thank you for accepting Sebastian again.”I looked at her, and she truly seemed relieved about it. Even when we were sitting together, she didn’t want to be far from me. She stayed beside me, holding my hand.“I won’t make the same mistake as before. You’re the one who truly deserves to be with Sebastian—my best daughter-in-law.”Perhaps some of the trauma from the past was still there. Even though she said it politely, I was quit
CassandraI was sitting casually with Miles when I saw Sebastian walk in, his jaw clenched. Just by looking at him, I could tell he’d had a bad day.But as soon as he looked toward me and Miles, he immediately changed his expression to something more relaxed.“Milo, why aren’t you asleep yet?” he asked while lifting Miles into his arms.“I was waiting, Dad.”After everything they had been through together, Miles now showed more honesty toward Sebastian. He no longer hesitated to show his clingy side.“Alright. Dad will clean up first, then we’ll sleep together.”I saw a smile appear on Miles’s face. After that, the two of them walked into the bedroom.Everything felt quite peaceful. Miles slept between the two of us, his face calm and serene. Then I turned to Sebastian.“What’s wrong? Did something happen at your office?”I couldn’t forget the hard expression he had earlier. If something had happened, I wanted to hear about it. Maybe it would help him.Maybe it was also because I alwa
SebastianWhen I saw that man touching Cassandra while holding her hand tightly, I truly couldn’t hold myself back anymore.My anger made me start a fight with him. From the beginning, I already disliked him because he always tried to get Cassandra’s attention.That day, a woman slapped Cassandra. That damn woman actually dared to do that to Cassandra.I wanted to break her hand and make her feel pain many times worse than what Cassandra had suffered.Cassandra stopped me. She slapped the woman back. Even so, I still couldn’t accept what she had done to Cassandra.I knew she was Cillian’s cousin. Damn it—anything related to that man truly brings bad luck and negative influence.That woman was the perfect example. She tried to get rid of Cassandra. When I wanted to drag her away to punish her, Cillian had already thrown her back to the place she came from.I didn’t get my chance, but I destroyed her family there, making that woman cry and beg for mercy—though she would never receive an
DylanI’ve always wanted to be by her side and be the one she relies on the most.Even though I know she hasn’t opened her heart to me yet to start a relationship, I’m certain that one day it will happen. I don’t want to burden her or make her suffer even more. It feels so wonderful whenever I see
CassandraI had taken care of several matters to prepare for the trial. Sometimes I still had worries, in case we ended up meeting.I was relieved that until now, that meeting hadn’t happened. But staying here made me uneasy, because I often heard news about Sebastian.Maybe I should have let Dylan
SebastianI studied Cassandra’s medical report with my hands clenched tightly.I never imagined that the details of her death would be like this—an overdose of antidepressants, a suicide attempt. I mean… all this time, Cassandra always looked fine. She was a strong woman who always did whatever I a
SebastianI wish it were like that…But reality hit me so hard. The woman standing in front of me wasn’t Cassandra. I tried to avoid her, yet her calm demeanor was so similar to Cassandra’s. Never before had there been a woman who resembled Cassandra this much.As she smiled, I felt myself grow wea
