CHAPTER 1New York.The soft smell of roses and lavender broke through Cassandra's sense of smell as her mother, Annalise, tightened their embrace that night. The rain outside didn't stop Annalise and Marvin - her husband of ten years - from taking a business trip to Paris.“Alright, it's time to go, Cass,” Annalise whispered, she released the hug slowly, afraid that it would make her daughter feel sad.Annalise's blue eyes looked at Cassandra, her daughter was only ten years old when Annalise made the biggest decision of her life; going back to work with her husband. It was a difficult choice, but Annalise had wanted this for a long time. She wanted her career, to shine after a ten-year vacuum from the clothing industry that made them all billionaires.Cassandra looked up, she wiped both eyes roughly. "I don't want Mom and Dad to leave tonight. Can you guys stay here?"But the question was taken over by Marvin, he already looked ready to go on a business trip. The shiny black suit and

CHAPTER 2Cassandra lost it when she heard Antonio's name mentioned. Antonio Franches. A man twenty years older than Cassandra. But it's not about age. On the day of Marvin and Annalise's accident, Cassandra saw a car in the distance. A symbol was captured in her memory. A silver rose. It sparkled in the night and caught Cassandra's attention. The silver rose on the back of the car belonged to someone who Cassandra later found out belonged to Antonio Franches. The man was at the scene when Cassandra's parents were killed. The car left after watching the flames burn away the bodies of Marvin, Annalise and even their personal driver, Paul.And in that incident, Cassandra came to the conclusion that the man named Antonio Franches must have known something, or... a lot more.The car stopped in the parking lot and Cassandra quickly got out of her black car that was almost sold due to Marvin's inherited debt. While taking a small jog towards the elevator, crazy ideas on how she would get her

CHAPTER 3Cassandra drove to the familiar luxurious mansion, her former home, her mind racing with conflicting emotions. She felt disgusted by what she was about to do, but the thought of avenging her parents strengthened her resolve. Antonio's name and the memory of her parents' deaths were intertwined, fueling the fire of revenge that had burned for years.She prepared meticulously, choosing an outfit that was both alluring and practical. A sleek black dress that hugged her curves yet allowed her to move quickly in case things went awry. She strapped a small knife to her thigh, hidden but easily accessible, and slipped a set of lock-picking tools into her bag. Her police training had taught her to always be prepared."Calm down, Cass. It's just a one-night stand. Everything will be over when he lets his guard down, and you can plunge this knife into his chest." Cassandra spoke to herself as the car stopped in front of the mansion. Her blue eyes scanned the area, a warm feeling spread

CHAPTER 4Can Cassandra give Antonio heaven? She'd never even dated in her life. For over fifteen years, Cassandra has only taken care of herself, training and molding herself to become a police officer. She wanted to uncover the case of her parents that was closed for no apparent reason. It was very mysterious. And Cassandra had always wondered why the deaths of Marvin and Annalise, two very influential people in the New York City fashion world, had to be closed in that way.“This is my room.”Antonio's voice startled Cassandra. The man had incredible charm. From his face, voice, and even his body.Cassandra blinked, then turned to Antonio, who was standing beside her. Suddenly, Cassandra felt that her heart was beating very fast. Her hands were at her sides, ready to grab the knife she'd hidden in her thighs. Antonio had to die tonight. Smiling, Cassandra said, “Let's have some fun.”Antonio opened the door, then spread one hand to make way. “Ladies first?”“Tsk, fine.”Cassandra's b

CHAPTER 5Antonio and Cassandra looked at each other. The atmosphere turned awkward in one second. Antonio mumbled, while Cassandra forced a smile while pushing Antonio's body away from hers. Something down there urgently wanted to be satisfied, but hearing that in reality Cassandra was still a virgin, also sounded very confusing to the man's ears.Fortuna seemed to be on Cassandra's side. The ringing of a cell phone from inside the bag broke the silence between the two of them. Cassandra pointed at the phone from a distance, then shouted. “I have to take a call!”But Antonio did not let Cassandra go easily. One of Antonio's hands held Cassandra, making Cassandra turn around and display a panicked expression on her beautiful face. “Where do you think you're going?”"I have to take that call. It's an important call!” It was just Cassandra's excuse to get free, but Antonio furrowed his brow curiously.“You think that call is more important than our sex tonight?”“I'll be back,” Cassandra

Antonio sits at his desk, the sign that reads Antonio Franches neatly tucked away on the table. A capital lending company. That's what people knew about Antonio. He'd made a fortune in a short time, and rumors about how Antonio ran a dirty business began to spread around, that Antonio was an evil loan shark who killed people.A fleeting memory of a failed one-night-stand caught Antonio's attention. It was the first time in his life that a woman refused to make love just because she was busy taking care of the 'pigs in the sty'. Does that sound plausible?Of course not.Antonio called Ben on his cell phone, and within a second, his assistant answered.“Come to my office now.”And the call was disconnected by Antonio.Ben was Antonio's personal secretary. He was a loyal and dedicated worker. But Ben didn't expect that the appearance of 'Cassandra Baker' in Antonio's life would lead to him being called like this.“It's about the woman who kept me company last night,” Antonio said, startin

Cale's jaw tightened, and for the first time, a flicker of fear crossed his face. Cassandra pressed on."You know, Mr. Mr. Callaghan, we have evidence linking you to Michael Foster. Phone records, financial transactions. It's all very incriminating."Cale's confidence began to crumble. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair. “What do you want from me?”“The truth,” Cassandra replied calmly. "What is your relationship with Michael Foster? And why is Antonio Franches' name also on his phone list?"Cale's eyes darted around the room, looking for a way out. “I don't know what you're talking about,” he said, but his voice lacked conviction.Cassandra leaned in closer. "You're in big trouble, Callaghan. Work with us, and maybe we can help you. Keep lying, and it will only get worse."The tension in the room was palpable. Cale looked at Cassandra, then at the photo of Michael Foster, and finally sighed in defeat. "All right, I'll talk. But I want protection. If the Franches know I'm talking...

CHAPTER 8CHAPTER 8Jessica Wallan is the most unlikely person to become friends with a detective as she owns a nightclub and runs a legal prostitution business out of her own club. But Jessica becomes Cassandra's friend because they didn't know about each other's work beforehand. They meet in a community to heal trauma. And here they are.“Someone found out about me?!”Jessica lowered her glass of wine onto the table, she then leaned forward and said, “You're right. As far as I know, it's Ben. Franches' personal secretary. Are you investigating him? If so, then you two are investigating each other."Cassandra furrowed her brows, she looked confused now. Rubbing her sweaty palms, she replied to Jessica, “Does he know I'm a detective?”Jessica chuckled. "Of course not. I'm your best friend, there's no way I'm going to put you through hell.""Oh yeah? You're talking about our friendship now, um?"“Of course.”“Did you forget that you received money from Franches as my payment for sleepi

When Cassandra came out of the house, she saw Aunt Marry chatting with Antonio. From the expression on her face, Cassandra could immediately draw the conclusion that Aunt Marry really liked Antonio;and the money he had.“Mom, I have to go now.”Aunt Marry continued her act, pretending to be Cassandra's mother. Patting Cassandra lightly on the shoulder, Aunt Marry let Antonio take her daughter's hand and said, “You should be back before morning. Don't forget to use safety. OK?"But Cassandra chuckled lazily at Aunt Marry's ambiguous words. She was indeed a gold digger, but she should have covered that up so as not to be obvious. But Cassandra couldn't blame Aunt Marry either, as Antonio's limousine was a real eye-catcher. Antonio opened the door for Cassandra, then led her to get into the passenger seat.Cassandra stepped carefully, she sat down and realized that they were not alone in the limo. There was a man, he was the driver, and more precisely it was Ben. But Cassandra was really

CHAPTER 10Cassandra quickly recounted the events of the night, leaving nothing out. Jessica listened intently, her expression growing more incredulous by the minute.“Marriage proposal?” Jessica said, after Cassandra had finished. “And a million dollars a month? That's crazy.”“I know,” Cassandra agreed, sinking into a chair. "But think about it, Jess. If I marry him, I'll be able to get closer to him. I could find out what really happened to my parents. Maybe even gather enough evidence to bring him down."Jessica frowned, crossing her arms. "That's risky, Cass. Very risky. You're talking about living with a man who could be a murderer."“I know the risks,” Cassandra said firmly. "But this might be our best chance. I can't let what he did go unpunished."Jessica sighed, running a hand through her hair. "If you're sure about this, then I'll support you. But you have to be careful. We need a plan."Cassandra nodded. "A plan. And I need you to help me stay grounded. Remind me why I'm d
