CHAPTER 21NICHOLASHe feels very bad for talking to Cassandra in the way he had spoken to her earlier this morning and the way her eyes glittered with unshed tears made him want to punch the wall till his fists break. He hates the way she makes him fell and he also hates himself for making her feel that way, he really didn't mean any of the things he said to her but he wasn't so sure about her. If she meant everything she said to him or not. She was right about what she had said to him though, he had been a real jerk, and although he loves her so much, if she doesn’t love him back, he shouldn’t get mad at her or try to force her into loving him.He gets down the stairs with his brief case and then as he gets to the first floor, he walks to her door to check how she is faring, and because he wants to check if she’s mad at him for the way he acted last night. He stops in front of her door, taking deep breaths because he is unsure of how she is going to react to seeing him. He chickens

CHAPTER 23CASSANDRAI have been walking aimlessly around the house with no chores to do and no food to cook since Nick asked me to stop doing all these things yesterday. Although I think I deserve every single Ill treatment I get from him since I’ve been confusing both of us about what I really feel about him, I still feel very bad about it. I already made up my mind today that if I try the last time and he doesn't listen or try to amend things with me then he has moved on and I will leave his house tonight and leave his life forever, and also leave this country so Victoria never finds me… hopefully.I walk into his room again after I am done packing my bag just in case he lashes out at me again so I can just leave quietly without any problems. I walk around the room while looking at the pictures on the shelf. I see a picture of a pretty woman which I quickly recognize as Nick's mum because of the features, he really looks like his mother a lot and when he said his mum was really be

CHAPTER 25CASSANDRAThe sunlight shines in through the open window on my face, making me blink my eyes, before opening them wide. Last night's memories come flashing into my head and I smile, warmth creeping to my cheeks as I throw the blanket over my face.I can’t believe I made love to Nick last night. How am I going to face him? Oh God! Things are going to be so awkward between us now.I groan in embarrassment before getting up from bed only to see Nick staring back at me with a grin on his face, and I realize he’s dressed for work already. I blush in embarrassment, throwing the blanket over my face again when I hear him laughing. I feel someone remove the blanket from my body and I see Nick holding it while staring at my naked body.I jump out of bed, grabbing the blanket from him, before wrapping it round my body, feeling so embarrassed. “You couldn't wake me up, I feel so embarrassed." I say.“Good morning sunshine… Also, what are you covering? I’ve seen everything already." He

CHAPTER 27CASSANDRA“What the hell happened to you? You are bleeding. Where did you go to? I’ve been so worried.” Nick says as soon as I am inside the house. I collapse on the couch in the living room, knowing I have lost a lot of blood but I don’t want to go to the hospital since I know it’s Victoria who is behind this and I really have to tell Nick about it.“Nick, it’s fine.” I say and smile at him. “It’s not fine Cassy, you are bleeding and you look so faint.” He says.“I’ll go to the hospital, I promise, but first, I really have something to tell you. I need to tell you.” I say, looking into his eyes with regret in my eyes.“What is it? Don’t tell me you are going to say lady night was a mistake and that you don’t love me all over again because for me last night was the best thing.” He says and I pull him down to my level, kissing his lips to shut him up.“Last night wasn’t a mistake, it will never be a mistake and I still love you, I promise.” I say, and a smile forms on his l

CHAPTER 29CASSANDRAI have just finished setting the dining table when Nick comes in, dressed smartly for work, with his briefcase in his hand. “Ooh! Someone’s looking good.” I compliment him, as he takes his seat at the dining table, dropping his briefcase on the floor, by his chair.“I always look good.’ He says with a proud look on his face, making me roll my eyes, as I walk into the kitchen to get glass cups for the wine since I forgot about it.“You think you’re such a hot cake, don’t ya?” I say to him, walking back with two glass cups in hands before placing them before him, pouring water into one, and wine into the other.“Of course I am. I mean, look at all this?” He says, gesturing to himself and I just have to laugh, almost spilling wine on the table.“Well, I don’t know what you’re talking about because there’s nothing remarkable about your looks.” I tease him, serving him spaghetti, before adding barbecue on top of it.“Well, I highly doubt that the million girls dying to
