Cassa's POVJulius smiled, just a simple curve of his lips, but it hit me like a thunderclap, stirring something inside me. No one else had ever done that to me—taken my heart and sent it soaring. But I couldn't let myself feel anything for him. I reminded myself of that every damn day. Every minute, if needed."I’m awake. And thanks for not being mad about Papa and I forgetting about you. I’m sure you’re starving," I said, my face heating up as I stepped out of the car. Julius stood at the door, holding it open for me, letting me pass. Of course, my stomach chose that exact moment to growl, making my cheeks burn even more.We weren't supposed to go home yet. Papa wanted us to stay for dinner, but I couldn't stick around any longer. Papa and I had lost track of time, and I definitely didn’t want Grandpa to know about the whole day with Julius at Papa's place.“Don’t apologize. We’ve all been starving,” Julius teased, making me chuckle. “And it looks like dinner’s ready for us to devou

Cassa's POV I groaned from the throbbing in my head and forced one eye open, scanning my surroundings. I was back in his house, in the room I had been using. The calming lavender scent filled the air, coming from the fresh lavender flowers in the vase nearby.I sat up on the bed, my gaze falling on the white wedding dress I was still wearing. Did I forget to change? Right—I did. I stood, my steps weak and slow as I walked toward the closet. I grabbed a dress and changed. Half an hour passed, and I was walking down the stairs, feeling fresh and clean. My head was fine now.The two maids glanced at me and bowed their heads, leaving me wondering. My stomach growled loudly, and I wa

Cassa;s POV What are you talking about? Julius asked, and I saw the shock on his face. It was like something strange had happened to me, as if I didn’t even know what I was saying anymore. We were facing each other, brows drawn together, the tension thick between us.I forced my face to stay po-faced, swallowing down my own embarrassment. I really just said that out loud, and I should’ve said it inside, when we were seated, not like this.His eyes met mine, searching—like he thought maybe I was joking, like he was waiting for an explanation that would make sense.“You heard me… let’s do

Cassa's POV I bit my lower lip, staring at the door, my heart pounding in my rib cage like a wild animal trying to break free. My breath came hard, shallow, as the thought hit me again—tonight is the marking. My hands were clammy as I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to steady myself. This morning, I’d asked him to do it tonight, like I was proposing some business deal that needed closing.He hadn’t been pleased with my rush, I knew that. But telling him the truth? That didn’t feel like an option. What good would it do? I had to try—if it worked, then the disappointment, if it came, could be dealt with later. Right now, I could only cling to the hope that this would work. That I wouldn’t have to live in this

Cassa's POVI followed the trail of blood, leading me to the window where there was even more of it. I sucked in my breath, wonder and uneasiness twisting inside me as I stared down at the edge of the window, noticing how clean it looked.“What are you doing here?”My heart skipped a beat at the sound of Papa’s deep voice behind me. What unsettled me more was the question of how I hadn’t heard him come in.I turned around, and there he was, standing in the doorway. His brows were pulled together, those intense deep brown eyes fixed on me.“Papa! What happened here? Why is there blood?&rdquo
