Cassandra POV:After breakfast, Ricky headed to the company. He was not supposed to work today as it was Sunday. But he hadn't been at the company for so long, so he tried to return as soon as he could. There were just a lot of matters being delayed since he was not around for two months.I pondered over his suggestion in the living room alone after he left. Get a hobby, he said. What hobby? I had been trying hard to manage my life before into a perfect routine of a career-oriented woman who had a nine-to-five job and went home to rest. Everything was in order and it was a perfect life for me before he decided to fire me from my job as his secretary. Now I was just bored. Previously, I was still allowed to go out and went shopping at the malls. Now, I couldn't even do that anymore.Two hours before noon and I noticed the sun outside wasn't shining that bright. I went to the backyard garden as how Ricky suggested with the intention of just enjoying the beautiful scenery. But then I saw

Riccardo POV: The following Monday, I brought three of Cassie's paintings to the company, those that I had chosen the other night. She was reluctant to let me do it at first as she didn't feel confident to show them in public. I just didn't understand why she refused to believe my judgement when I said her paintings were good. They were the kind of sellable paintings in my thoughts and I could feel that if she kept doing a good job in this hobby, she could turn it into a business. A very convenient business since she only needed to do it at home. I knew how ambitious Cassie was. So, when I saw how she had a hidden talent in art painting, it just hit me that I should support her further in this activity. I wanted to help her raise again in a new career. That was why I took her paintings and placed them at the company. Who knew some of my clients might catch eyes on them and maybe start asking where I got them. If I could see potential clients for Cassie, I won't hesitate to invest in

Cassandra POV:I woke up the next morning quite late. Maybe because for the past few days, I had been so focused on doing my paintings, I didn't realize my body was getting really tired.Ricky had gone to the company when I came down for breakfast. I didn't know why he didn't just wake me up like he usually did. But maybe he too noticed my tiredness.As I ate my toast, my phone beeped and a message notification popped up on the screen. It was from Sergio and he informed me how my company had been registered legally this morning. Then half an hour later, I got another message from Ricky saying that my business bank account had been made and activated. Well, these two men sure worked hard to make this painting business happen. They seemed so eager to do it and I didn't know why with the rush.After breakfast, I went to the living room, bringing my laptop with me. I just opened it and let my business website appear on the screen. I started uploading more pictures in the painting showcase

Riccardo POV:I wondered what it was that Cassie wanted to tell me later. It made me nervous somehow and I couldn't help but have my heart pounding hard at the moment. Not even a month yet from the day I proposed to her, and she already decided to accept me again. This was truly exciting and my heart was jumping in joy right now.I didn't want to make a fuss about anything or push her to tell me what it was that she wanted to tell me later. We just had a calm dinner and after the meal, instead of going to the living room to hang out together like we usually did daily, she just took my hand and led me upstairs with her.Inside the bedroom, she made me sit at the bedside. Then she went to the vanity table and took something from the drawer. She handed me the thing and I just stared at it for a few seconds. Now I'm not that naive to not know what a pregnancy test looked like. That was it and there were two of them."Twins?" That just crossed my mind and she started laughing while taking

Cassandra POV:This morning, Ricky woke me up early and I was just confused why he hadn't gone to work yet. I asked him and he informed me that he was off until our wedding day. Well, okay. But why did he have to wake me up so suddenly today if he was not going to work anyway?It was strange and he just told me to take a shower and had breakfast with him downstairs. I did that. After breakfast, Ricky told me to change my clothes into something else."Just wear something that you usually use when you go out," he said and that just added the weirdness in my heart."Why? Are there any people coming today?" I was so confused by his odd behaviours. He shook and just gently told me to do it fast.So I went upstairs, changed my clothes inside the bedroom and headed downstairs again. Ricky stood by the front door that was widely opened with a car parked right in front of the mansion. My eyes caught Dome outside, opening the car door as if inviting me to get in."Let's go," Ricky said and beck
