“Axon.” Mr Ashford boomed. “Boy, why are we discussing that now? We’re not here for that.” Axon’s jaw was tightened as he continued glaring at me. And then, he looked at Mrs Ashford, his face softening, “I’m sorry, Grandma. I was just… taken aback seeing him there.” “Well, he is soon going to be your family.” Mr Ashford said, “What’s in the past better stay in the past. He might have been your business rival then, but now, he’s the man marrying your cousin. Don’t you forget that.” “I know.” He said, “As long as he doesn’t come after me, I’m fine with having him around.” “Well, it was part of his profession.” I said, “I’m sure things will be different now. Why don’t we just forget what happened and make a fresh start?” “Of course, that must come easy to you, right, dear? Making a fresh start everytime life gets inconvenient.” Alfred chimed in, “Just like your mother. What a dear soul she was.” Although his words were intended to be kind, nobody missed the hidden undertone of it.

I watched Axon in astonishment, barely grasping what he just uttered. Soon, his image became blurry in front of my eyes, my tears betraying me yet again as I tried to hold them back. Axon’s face twisted with confusion and then with worry. He realized that he hit the nail on the head, but he hit it too hard. “A-are you… crying?” I sniffled, wiping my tears away. “Look, Cassandra. I didn’t-” “There you are, dear.” I heard Grandma’s voice, emerging behind Axon. As he turned around, her face revealed to me. “I was looking everywhere for- Cassie! Are you okay?” Enzo was trailing behind her, looking into his phone. But as he heard the alarm in her voice, his eyes shot up to see me. And he did. He saw the tears. “Oh, dear. Why are you crying?” Grandma came to hold me, rubbing my shoulder, but I avoided her eyes. I was just watching Enzo as he came to me, and then his eyes slowly shifted to Axon. His jaw tightened. “What the hell did you do?” “I… I didn’t do anything. I was just talki

Enzo’s POVAs I made my way upstairs, I caught Mr Ashford coming down. “Oh, you’re not staying for another drink?”“No.” I said, “Cassie is alone. I better head back.” A smile broke out on his lips, “Well, keep her happy.” He said, giving a pat on my shoulder “Big day tomorrow.” “Yeah,” I said, as it suddenly occurred to me why we were here. It was for our engagement. It was supposed to be a happy getaway for us from our busy lives, yet here I was, striking business deals and threatening people to stay away from my soon to be wife. Fucking hell. I made my way to my room, expecting that Cassie had already gone to bed. But I was wrong. She was in the bathroom, the door slightly ajar. It was a silent invitation for me. I walked into the candle lit bathroom a minute later, having abandoned all my clothes. Cassie was peacefully resting until I arrived, and when she noticed me, her face broke into a grin. Without needing more of an invitation, I got into the tub, wrapping her legs arou

Cassie’s POV Once the rings were exchanged, my grandparents took us around to meet everyone.  I tried to remember the names of the first few people I’d met, thinking they were important, but once I realized just how many names I had memorized tonight, I’d given up on the task. I just made some mandatory small talk and exchanged some pleasant smiles with them.  I don’t know how long it went on for, until my grandparents had to tend to some other business and that gave us a chance to finally meet our friends.  “Thank God you’re here.” Kelly said, sighing, “I thought I wouldn’t catch you tonight.”  

“Enzo got three stitches on his forehead and a mild concussion.” Leo announced to us in the waiting room. “Oh, thank god.” Grandma said, wrapping her hands around my body. I let out a sigh of relief finally, my head hanging low. “Yeah, and the doctors said he needs to rest for the next twenty four hours. So minimal visitors.” “Yeah, yeah. Of course.” Grandma said. “When is he going to be discharged?” “They just want to keep him under observation for a few more hours before they let him go. It’s just for safety.” He said and his eyes then found me. “You can meet him in a few minutes. The nurse is just finishing up.” I nodded, “Yeah.” Right then, Grandpa came in, searching for my eyes. The police held him up at the mansion after hell broke loose, so he had to stay back and take care of that business. Before I left, he swore to me that Alfred would be behind the bars, but I told him to just get here as soon as possible. “How is he?” He said as he approached me. “He’s okay.” “Tha
