ANMELDENSebastianWhen 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
CillianFuck.I truly didn’t want something like this to happen. Everything I had planned completely fell apart because of that woman.I should have dealt with her immediately and sent her away so she wouldn’t disturb Cassandra.My emotions were running high. I still wasn’t calm at all right now. This shouldn’t have happened to me.Cassandra was with Sebastian, and the distance between Cassandra and me was growing wider.Bastard!I slammed my phone hard onto the floor until it shattered.She had just replied to my message, but only to tell me not to disturb her time. After I tried to contact her again, I realized she had blocked me.There couldn’t be a worse day than today. With all the closeness that had developed between Cassandra and me, everything was now destroyed. I might truly never be able to have her again.“Cillian, I already told you to just forget about her,” she laughed lightly. “Look at her. She can only throw herself at men.”My gaze turned sharp as I looked at her, sud
CassandraI had just taken a sip of the coffee Liza made for me. The calming aroma of it made me let out a long breath.“Miss, why is your hand swollen?” Liza asked as she looked at my hand.My hand had to be wrapped with an elastic bandage to keep it from getting worse and to help me move it a little. I hadn’t expected that punching that woman would leave this kind of impact on my hand.I thought maybe I should take a self-defense class to make myself stronger. I hadn’t talked about this with Sebastian yet, but he would probably agree with the idea.I gave her a small smile as the chair shifted slightly. “Something happened. I couldn’t just stay silent.”“You punched a wall?” Liza shrugged.I knew she was teasing me a little, but she also showed her concern by quickly gathering the documents on my desk.“I don’t know exactly what happened,” she said as she sat in her chair and raised her hand with a thumbs-up. “But you can rely on me here.”I laughed silently at her response.Our rel
CassandraI was truly shocked by what had just happened. A slap landed on my face—and it was all because of Stella.She appeared and immediately got angry at me. Her jaw tightened, and before I could even react, a slap struck my face.Sebastian retaliated and slapped her so hard that the woman fell to the floor. He immediately held my cheeks in his hands.“Sandra, are you okay?” Sebastian asked. His eyes shone as he looked at me carefully.“That damn woman. She made my cheek red like this.”Sebastian glared back at Stella. I knew he wasn’t satisfied with this, and he wanted to go over to her again to do something, but I grabbed Sebastian’s hand.My heart was still beating fast because of what had just happened.“Stella! I already told you not to do anything!” Cillian shouted.I noticed that he didn’t help the woman at all; instead, he looked at her coldly.Sebastian, still furious, spoke, “You should take care of your woman. How dare she hurt Sandra!”“She’s not my woman!” Cillian imm
SebastianI spent time with Miles. Because he was so worried about the squirrels, we went to see the house that was being renovated, and Miles was very happy when he saw that the squirrels’ home was also being renovated.I always think about them, so I knew that Miles would definitely worry about those squirrels. I asked the renovation workers to build something like a glass house around the tree.It would protect them.After we finished spending time together, we headed to the office where Cassandra worked. I was sure she would be very happy to see us picking her up.The car had just stopped.“Dad, I’m thinking about having a few other animals.”I nodded. “You can do that.”Miles was a responsible child. His interest never came without responsibility; he handled it well.I took out my phone when it vibrated. A message from Cassandra had just come in.Have you arrived yet? I just finished.I smiled, knowing for sure that she would be waiting for our arrival.Right now, our lives were
CassandraI was having a pleasant time. Although sometimes I would fall silent when memories of the past surfaced, I could say that I was doing well.Those memories reminded me that I had once gone through such painful experiences. The struggle had been very hard, and I believed I deserved my happiness.We deserved it.I smiled softly as I looked at the sofa where Miles and Nakka were sitting now. Their relaxed faces made me feel calmer as well.Suddenly, someone hugged me from behind, his gentle voice brushing against my ear.“What are you thinking about? You’re not imagining something sad again, are you?” At the end of his question, Sebastian sounded hesitant.I could see that he leaned his face forward to check my expression. I understood the look on his face—he was worried that I might be hurting because of the past.As I held his hand, I smiled. “It’s okay. I’m fine.”He didn’t seem to completely believe what I said, but since I didn’t want to talk about anything related to the p
