Se connecterCassandraMy whole body tensed, fear flooding me the moment I heard the explosion.After only a second of stunned shock, I quickly moved, worry driving me forward. When I got outside, I saw Iker looking toward Sebastian’s house.He wasn’t moving quickly, and that made my blood race as I immediately ran toward Sebastian’s house.No.Please, let nothing have happened to them.“Miss!”Iker’s voice rang out, but I didn’t stop. Even though he chased after me, I still couldn’t calm down.As I entered Sebastian’s yard, my eyes immediately searched for Miles.“Milo!”“Milo!”I ran inside the house and couldn’t find him, until I finally noticed the back door of Sebastian’s house was open.My heartbeat was racing. Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion, making each breath I took feel painfully clear.Even the gentle movement of the curtains appeared vividly in my eyes, and then I ran again to see if he was really there, and I prayed nothing bad had happened to him.“Milo! Where are y
CassandraWhat did she mean?I often stayed in Cillian’s room?She was clearly lying. Something like that had never happened. I had never even once been in Cillian’s room.As I met Erica’s slowly narrowing eyes, my heartbeat quickened.“Erica, this is clearly a misunderstanding.”I tried to keep Erica from getting overly excited because I was very sure she strongly supported my relationship with Cillian.This woman named Stella was completely unexpected. From the beginning, her attitude had already shown that she didn’t like me.Erica studied me more closely, then looked back at Stella. “Isn’t this your first time meeting Sandra, Stella?”For me, this was indeed our first meeting. I couldn’t find even the slightest information about her. I even searched my childhood memories, everything told me this was the first time we had met.She let out a long breath through her mouth. “Oh, right, you didn’t know because you didn’t live near Cillian back then.”Erica was filled with confusion, th
Cassandra“I heard the story from Cillian, Sandra.”She quickened her steps slightly so she could look directly at my face.“Why didn’t you tell me about it?”Erica looked so radiant when she talked about the dinner I had with Cillian. Damn, I didn’t expect that man to be such a chatterbox. He even told Erica.I slowly exhaled through my nose, realizing this actually wasn’t something I needed to overthink. I mean, I didn’t do anything wrong, but yeah… it still weighed on me a little.“Is he going to tell everyone about this?” I asked spontaneously, the irritation in my chest slipping out.Erica’s mouth fell open as she stared at me in shock. Then, as realization returned to her, she quickly shook her head.“Ah? No.” She raised her hands, waving them in panic. “No, that’s not what I meant.”I stared at her, trying to understand what she meant.“When we met, he looked so happy, so I got carried away and told it.”Seeing their relationship and Erica’s attitude, that might be true. But it
CassandraI really had no idea they were looking at me like that, their sharp gazes making it feel like they wanted me to say something.Both of these men seemed unwilling to let me just walk in, positioning their bodies to block the door.“What?”I finally asked, genuinely anxious.If they wanted to say something, they should just say it—no need for confusing actions like this.Well, I guess sometimes they really are alike. I tried to ignore it and chose to walk past them.I heard Sebastian clear his throat; he adjusted his stance as if trying to control something.“Why were you in his car for so long?”My brow furrowed. Honestly, I don’t think I spent much time in Cillian’s car since it stopped in front of the house.Nothing happened, and Iker was following us anyway.Puzzled by this, my brows knit together.“What did that man do to you, Sandra?”Seriously, Sebastian really looked like a jealous man. When I realized it, I went silent. The more I observed him, the more it seemed true
Cassandra“Welcome, Sandra.”Cillian greeted me warmly, pulling out the chair so I could sit down right away.As he took his seat, he kept watching me, and then I saw him let out a breath.“Actually, I wanted to pick you up so we could come together,” he confessed.It was perfectly normal for a man to pick up his date. It was just that I was trying to avoid creating another scene—Miles might see it and then ask why I was going out with Tucker’s uncle.I wouldn’t know how to explain it later.“I’m more comfortable like this,” I said with a smile.He showed a smile as well, perhaps because he didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere of this dinner, even though he was still not fully satisfied with our earlier conversation.It was better to forget about that discussion.He busied himself signaling the waiters to prepare our dinner.As I looked around this place, there were no other guests, and it was decorated in a cozy and intensely romantic way. I understood his intention—perhaps he wanted t
Cassandra“Ah?”It was truly a shocking question, sending chills through my body and making my brain feel frozen.As I looked at him, I knew he was serious about what he said, but I lost the words to respond.“Can we have dinner together tonight outside? I’ll prepare a place for our dinner—”I raised my hand, stopping his words when I realized why he was acting like that.“This is because I’m having dinner with Cillian, right?”He had a competitive nature, he always wanted to win. And maybe now his ego had been provoked by Cillian. If he could ruin that plan, he would definitely feel victorious.I knew this might be his way, but I still couldn’t stop the nervous feeling inside me.Why is it like this? Disappointment filled my heart. I took a breath, and he held my hand.“I really don’t want you to have dinner with him, but I’m truly sincere, Sandra.”After saying that, he looked like he was bracing himself before speaking again.“I’m doing this because I hope… maybe you’ll accept me.
