Cassie's POV Even though Alison had asked us to talk for a bit, she had said nothing from the moment we left the waiting room. We just kept walking down the quiet hallway in silence. I was waiting patiently while Alison was lost in her thoughts.Perhaps, I should say something to get the conversation started. I turned to her, “Alison…”“Cassie…” She said at the same time, turning to me as well.Great. “You go ahead.” I said quickly.She sighed. “I hope you didn't feel guilty because of us. I'm sorry if you did because it wasn't your fault. As I said before… I let my feelings get in the way of my relationship with Kylian. That’s on me.”“I understand, Alison. There is no need for you to apologi…”“I do. Because I know you care. And I needed to hear that from you earlier.”We turned a corner, still walking slowly. Just how big was this place, I wondered.“So, it looked like things worked out just fine between you two.” I said.She gave a small smile. “We did. Angela helped.”I smiled.

Cassie's POV I crouched low in front of boy, holding out the cotton candy to him. “Here,” I said. “You can have this.”His eyes lit up at first, then he looked uncertain. I remained there, waiting patiently. Finally, he took it… Tentatively. Then amI saw a woman running towards him, calling his name. Her eyes grew wide when she spotted us. “I’m so sorry, miss. He’s not supposed to bother guests…”So she was a worker here. “It's okay, really. I don't mind.” I said, rising.“Thank you, miss.” The boy said shyly His mother echoed his words a little more profusedy before they left.When I turned back to him, Ledger was watching me with that same soft look he shot me every now and then.“What?” I asked.“That was so sweet, Cassie. I'm about to get diabetes from the sugar rush.” Ledger said with a completely straight face.I laughed. “What the hell are you saying?”He said nothing, taking my hand once more. “Should we get another…”“Not right now. Let's explore the park first.” I cut in

Cassie's POV The night that should have ended on a good note now began to feel like the prologue to a long nightmare. Liam had explained the situation to me. The Rivers family were wealthy no doubt, but their money alone wasn't enough for a project on a scale as large as this. Collaborative projects didn't just need money to be successful, it needed good connections and the right people to endorse and fund it so that it could be recognized on a global scale.The investor’s call had changed everything. Theron Woods wasn’t just anyone, he was someone known to only invest in projects that would leave a mark. He was also one of their major backers. Without his funding, the solar car project would be in trouble.Dorothy noticed almost immediately. “Liam? Did something happen?”Liam didn’t bother sugarcoating. “Theron’s pulling out. He said the board’s nervous about long-term feasibility.”Chairman Rivers was stunned. He walked over briskly. “How is that possible? We gave them updated pr

Ledger's POV “Did you say your name was Ledger Rivers?” “Yes.” I answered. “What are you doing here this late, kid?” Another asked. “In any case, you're on the cleared list so you might as well go in.”The first man eyed me in suspicion. “Shouldn't we send him away?” “It's fine. Cassie insisted on having his name on the list, remember? And his appearance matches what we have in our database.” The other man replied. “Besides, I'm sure they will get rid of him if he causes trouble inside.”The other guy seemed satisfied with this answer. And that was how, I was let in. Alison would never believe me if I told her where I was. I tried to remember how I had gotten there. I was driving home that night when I was suddenly consumed by thoughts of Cassie. Along the way I must have unconsciously driven down the path leading to her home.It was only when I pulled up in front of the Estate's gate that I realized I was there.And so, here I was, heading to Cassie's home. Though the Monroes'

Cassie's POV “Yes.” I answered.As soon as we stepped in, the lights came on... All by itself.“Wow.”“I know right. As soon as someone steps in, the motion sensor activates the light, turns on the TV and air conditioner.” I explained.Alison moved around the room. “You have a wireless and three in one charger. A mini fridge…” She suddenly gasped. “Are those adjustable weights and dumbbells?”“Yes. There’s also a charging station for all the gym gadgets.”“Did all these come with the mansion?” she asked, turning in a slow circle.“No. Dad talked about setting up a gym room, and I remembered our discussion about it.”“Aw, Cassie. So, you set this up with me in mind?” Alison asked, placing a hand on her chest. “Something like that.” I answered, grinning. “I know this is something you want for Kylian, but whenever you visit, we could distract him with the gym.” I added with a laugh. Alison giggled. “How devious, Cassie.”We both laughed. “Well, that's that, come let me show you my ro
