CHAPTER 12NICHOLASAs soon as he sees her walking down the stairs, his breath hitches in his throat. He has always found her beautiful, but she looks more than beautiful this night, and the beautiful smile on my face just made everything better. The tight black gown she wore did a lot of justice to her shape, bringing out all her curves in all the right areas, making him want to her there and then. Her breasts look fuller and it makes him mad with desire, as he pictures himself bury his head between them, and it made him so horny that he just wants to tear off her clothes and fuck her senseless. Her red hair was like fire drawing him towards her, like a moth draw to a flame and her innocent black eyes looked so perfect. She looks so stunning. Fuck! She’s beautiful and has so much effect on me. He thinks to himself, not being able to take his eyes off her as she descends down the stairs."Hey, how do I look?" She asks as soon as she stops in front of him, and his eyes move to her lips

CHAPTER 14CASSANDRA "Hey!" I call out to him, walking towards him, “Are you trying to poison me?” I ask while peering over his shoulders to look at what he is cooking. He is making pancakes, and they kinda look okay, although they are so freaking shapeless. I guess it should taste okay since pancakes aren’t that hard to make.“What do you mean?” He chuckles, still focused on what he is making. I giggle lightly at how cute he looks when he’s focused, I’ve never seen anyone so focused on making simple pancakes before.“You’re cooking.” I deadpan.“I don’t get what you’re trying to say.” He says, still focused, and wipes sweat off his forehead with the back of his arm.I roll my eyes at how dense he is. “You don’t know how to cook, remember? You never paid attention to your mum’s cooking lessons, and you said it yourself that your cooking is very terrible.”“Come on, don’t be like that. At least its’ edible." He laughs, with his back still facing me."If you can cook, why then did you

CHAPTER 16CASSANDRAI toss and turn in bed, wrapping my hands round my stomach, not knowing for how long I can take this. My stomach rumble loudly again, increasing the agony I’m in right now. I’m so hungry I feel I’m going to die. It’s ten p.m. and I still haven’t had my breakfast, talk less of lunch and dinner. Nick had brought me some pancakes in the morning but I had refused to come out and he had taken it back to the kitchen. Why didn’t he just leave it at the doorstep? What a jerk!He also brought me lunch, which he had ordered and I also refused that, just because I didn’t want to see his face. Now, here I am, hungry and tired with no way to survive this torture. After about thirty minutes, I decide to sneak out, since, after all, he’s going to work tomorrow, and he’ll probably be asleep now.I creep out of bed, tiptoeing to the door. I open it slightly and slowly so it won’t make much noise. Luckily for me, it isn’t like those doors at my house that are always creaking whene

CHAPTER 18CASSANDRAI sit by the window side in my bedroom, and see Nicholas’s car drive into the compound. I stare down at him from the window as he parks and then gets down from the car. He doesn’t have his tie on and his clothes look rumpled, and I start to wonder if he got into a fight. I watch him as he drags his brief case out of the car and then staggers before jamming the car door shut, and begins walking slowly, with his head down. I wonder what is wrong with him and why he is being this way, and that’s when the realization hits me. What do you mean ‘what’s wrong with him?’, you are. You put him in this position Cassy. You shadily entered into his perfect beautiful life and then brought your shameful useless life into his, and now look at him. You made him this way so don't you try to act innocent now.I sigh and leave the window to the bed when my phone rings. I move quickly to the bed side table and then pick up my phone, checking the caller ID to see it is Victoria, as e

CHAPTER 20CASSANDRA“CASSANDRA! Where have you been? I’ve been so worried about you. You just disappeared without telling us anything.” She yells in concern. “Do you know how worried I’ve been? I’ve been searching everywhere for you but to no avail, Frank also helped me in looking for you, but it just seemed as if you had ceased to exist-”“-I called your line severally but it never went through and I swear I thought you were dead, and now, you just call me in the middle of the night with a new number acting like you didn’t just make us think you were dead. I cried because I couldn’t find you, you know? I even went to your workplace and they said you hadn’t been coming to work. How could you make us worry like that Cassy?”“I’m sorry. I just had to leave town to clear my head and look for more opportunities.” I say weakly.“Sorry? You had to leave town to clear your head? Does that seem like an excuse for making us worry unnecessarily? You could have informed us so we’d be aware of y
