Sunlight streamed into the chilly room, gently warming Cassandra's face. She stirred, her eyelids fluttering open and a dull, throbbing pain greeted her. The world spun around her, and she groaned, trying to make the dizziness go away. Despite the lame attempts her headache only worsened. She tried to move, but her limbs felt heavy, and she was unable to lift herself.It was almost as though she was trapped in her body, unable to do anything except stare at the ceiling. She thought about what might be causing her headache, but the more she thought about it, the more it hurt. Suddenly, she realized this might be the after-effect of the drugs Lance had used on her.Just as the thought crossed her mind, the door creaked open, and her aunt Mercedes came in, her grey eyes scanning the room with suspicion. When her gaze settled on Cassandra, curled up on the bed, they narrowed with contempt. It was just like yesterday, Cassandra’s parents had died in a car crash on a business trip, Cassand

Cassandra came downstairs from her room all dressed up, her uncle was waiting just outside the door. He nodded at her, a look of mild satisfaction on his face, and gestured for her to follow him. She hesitated for a moment but then followed him out of the house and to his car, just as she had guessed, they were going out…but where, and when nobody was at home too?She quietly nestled into the passenger seat, and an anxious feeling crept over her. This was the first time he had taken her to one of his events, this one had to be intense. Her uncle was a successful businessman, frequently attending important meetings and gatherings, just like her father. But this time, he had invited her to accompany him.She watched him as he slid into the driver's seat, starting the engine with a roar. They pulled out of the driveway, the car moving swiftly down the road. At first, the ride was silent, both of them lost in their thoughts. After a few minutes, Niko cleared his throat, preparing the conv

“Come meet me at this address when you are done with Blake.”Cassandra stared down at the message on her phone; her uncle, Niko, had sent her the message.She let out a sigh, the shock of meeting her soon-to-be husband still within her…Blake McKnight…He was scary in a sense.No wonder his poor old grandfather was begging around for a wife; how was he going to get a wife if he acts like an asshole to every woman he meets.It is his foolishness that allows Uncle Niko was able to use his grandfather’s weakness against him, but this works out. She would be able to leave that family once and for all.Cassandra gets into the lounge at the address her uncle had texted her, her eyes narrow when she catches a glimpse of her uncle with Mr. McKnight.Can’t this man hold on for a bloody second?She wore a thin smile as she approached the table.“Oh! Cassandra is here already,” he said with a beaming smile as he got out of his seat and pulled out a chair for her.“Thank you, Uncle.” She said wit

“How was your date?” Uncle Niko suddenly asked making Cassandra jolt slightly from surprise. As soon as she realized that her uncle was behind her, she wiped her hands against the apron she was wearing and turned towards him.There was a mischievous grin hanging on his face, it irritated her, so she clenched her jaws to reply.“It was good.” She lied, suddenly at a loss for words, it was nowhere near good, but starting up fires right now will only make Blake more pissed, and it was not like she expected her uncle to care about it if things were sour.The wedding will go as planned no matter what she feels, that much has been established.“Dinner will be ready in a second,” she said hoping he would leave, Niko nodded his head, as he walked towards the door, stopping for a second. “Join us at the dining today.”He left.Cassandra simply stood there wondering if that was a good idea, she had never joined the family for any meal, she always ate her meals in the kitchen, just like her aunt

Uncle Niko finally managed to get through to Lance. However, Lance had made it clear that he would not come home if they were serious about arranging Cassandra’s marriage. The conversation between them was heated, Niko putting Lance in his place. Despite the tension, Cassandra felt a sense of relief and gratitude that Uncle Niko was not going to cancel the wedding because of Lance.For the first time in years, she was finally going to leave the family.“Are you done?” Uncle Niko asked as Cassandra finished arranging the table. She turned toward him, wiping small beads of sweat from her forehead.“Yes,” she replied quickly.“You should get dressed and ready. I’m sure your aunt can handle the rest,” he said.Cassandra wrinkled her nose in annoyance. She had already done all the work; there wasn’t anything left for her aunt to handle.“The McKnights will be here in fifteen minutes,” Uncle Niko continued, stroking his chin thoughtfully as he studied her. “I figured you might not have a
