LOGINCassandraHolding my breath, for the first time I heard those words from him. Only then did I realize that ever since he came back into my life, he had often shown jealousy whenever other men approached me.I still didn’t want to admit it, but Sebastian was right.…I was jealous.Sebastian touched my cheek with his index finger, deliberately doing so as he smiled at me.“You won’t admit it, Sandra?”“Probably,” I whispered softly.I just wanted him to stop talking about it, but he deliberately let out a soft chuckle near my ear.“Hmm, I like that. You should do it more often.”Sebastian really said that, puffing out his chest, and all I could do was cover my mouth, my face flushing red.Maybe because Sebastian spoke gently to that woman, I ended up feeling a little annoyed. Yeah… this man rarely speaks softly—he’s usually so cold.Ah, I know that woman was beautiful and young, so I couldn’t help but think… maybe he was interested in her.“Why, Dad? Is something making you happy?”Mile
CassandraI woke up feeling heavy because Sebastian was holding me. His large arm rested over my shoulder, so I carefully moved it away.I didn’t want to wake him, and I also enjoyed watching him while he slept. Seeing the details of his handsome face made me smile.After accepting my relationship with Sebastian, the way I looked at him had changed. I paid attention to the details of his body, the lines, his muscles.I no longer looked at him in a hurry, and I liked that he was mine.“Is what you want to do just keep looking at me?” he said, catching my hand. Then he placed it on his cheek. “Don’t you want to touch me?”I caught my breath when I heard that. It was clearly a tease. At first, it surprised me, but I was able to respond.With my hand on his cheek, I gently stroked it several times, while my other hand slipped under the blanket, softly touching his chest.“Uhm… Sandra, you’re waking me up this early…” he bit his lower lip.Seeing him like this was truly tempting, so I cont
CassandraOf 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
POV 3A moment ago, the man had passed through the bodyguards’ inspection, which left him surprised. So when he finally entered, he fixed his gaze intently on his friend’s face.Well, he had come here because he wanted to know something.“You locked her up here?” His eyes met Sebastian’s, who had b
POV 3Being in a new place, unexpectedly Miles wasn’t too bad. Here, with an uncle he had just gotten to know, he was playing together.At first, he felt a little uncomfortable, but as time passed, he became calmer. After receiving a phone call from Dylan, he felt even happier knowing that everythi
chapter 94SebastianWhat I wanted was to finish this quickly. When she issued threats, I became furious. It seemed I had been too soft on her, and that’s why she acted like this.I had made many mistakes and didn’t want to make her life any harder. Those threats would only cause trouble for her, e
Cassandra“Is it true that Dad is picking us up today?” Miles asks me, his arms stretched out to make it easier for me to put his gray shirt on.Today, he looks so happy after hearing my explanation. Just as I told them yesterday, today I’ll be leaving this suffocating place.… Or I could say that
