91 - Official Introduction

Cassandra's POV Alaric was once again focused on his work. The main light was switched off, with just the bed lamp by his side left on. I sighed, then walked towards the bed. My curious gaze remained on him. I didn't know why it bothered me. I really couldn't stop thinking about this first love of his. What was she truly like? The question lingered in the back of my head. Alaric's gaze shifted to me, a small frown knitting between his brows. "If you keep on staring at me that way, I will assume you have no plans of sleeping, Sunshine." That nickname once again. I was starting to get used to it. He had no intention of stopping. My face went pale. I quickly shook my head and shuffled under the covers, ready to go to sleep. "No, I'm tired," I muttered, forcing my eyes closed, snuggling under the covers. He clicked his tongue at me. "Then go to bed," he muttered before the clicking sounds continued. I relaxed a bit, stealing a glance at him from under the covers. Since we wer

92 - He chose her

Cassandra’s POV“From today, she handles everything, including your allowance and any other thing that requires a guardian’s permission,” Alaric explained, leaving both Priscilla and me taken aback. It was like a bomb being detonated right before us.“What?” we both chorused, unable to believe what he had just said. Clearly, Priscilla did not respect me and could never see herself being in such a position. And honestly, I did not want anything to do with his bratty ward. Ninety percent of my problems here were caused by Priscilla and that damn cat.I stared at Alaric, dumbfounded. I did not expect him to pull such a move.My mouth opened, but no sound came out. I stared at Alaric like he had just flipped the board in a game I did not even know I was playing. Guardian permission? Allowance? Since when was I suddenly promoted to whatever this was?Before I could gather my thoughts or protest, Priscilla beat me to it.“That’s ridiculous,” she snapped, her voice sharp, and she visibly tre

93 - Richer Than she thought

Cassandra's POV I forced a polite smile. We just stared at each other for a while. He probably noticed that I wasn't comfortable with the entire situation. "What if this only makes things worse between us?" I asked with a small voice he understood what I meant and there was no way he hadn't thought of it "It had to be done, sunshine." He said he took a step closer, closing the distance between us. He reached for my shoulders. "Priscilla is a teenager, and they can be particularly stubborn, but with time, she will come around." He explained. I didn't say anything in response, and he continued, "Just give her time. If I hadn't put her down like that, none of the staff would understand your importance in this household." I was taken aback. He had used her as an example for everyone. His message was simple: if Priscilla couldn't stand against me, none of the staff would think of doing anything stupid like taking Priscilla's words over mine. Despite understanding this fact the g

94 - what is good for me

Cassandra's POV I didn't believe it at first until I saw the email. Alaric really got me a spot at a production house capable of getting me a slot at the international fellowship. It wasn't just any production house, it was Ivory Gate Productions. A very popular production house which handles multiple campaigns and high-end events coverage, including award ceremonies. I was so excited I was practically squealing, working here was going to be way more exciting than the old gallery selling photographs and barely having any practicals Not that I didn't like my new job. This one was novel and exciting. It was like going on a grand new adventure. According to the mail, I was free to start whenever I wanted as Alaric had explained, but if I wanted to start today, I had to report in by 10 am. As soon as I saw the message, I was practically vibrating with excitement. I quickly sent them a reply that I would be reporting today before having my shower and started g

95 - First day

Cassandra’s POV It felt like I had been cut off from my family all over again. It hurts knowing they probably never saw me as a person. I was just another tool for their journey to wealth and the moment I wasn't useful anymore I was disposable probably not even considered a person Just another disappointment. In the past I blamed myself. I wasn't like Aurelia, she was smarter and at the top of her class in university. Studying in business. It wasn't that I was dumb; I graduated with a good CGPA, but my lack of interest in business after school was a disappointment. I was just another privileged brat chasing a dumb dream. Photography. I laughed at my spiralling thoughts, and the warm morning breeze whipped through my hair. I drew in a deep breath. "Today is a big day. Don't let them ruin it." I muttered to myself before heading back inside.. My gaze immediately shifted to the dressing room, and to say Helen was efficient was an understatement. Not only did sh

96 - Blaire Kensington

Cassandra's POV I stared at the lady, I didn't know if I should call a diva or a bitch walk away. She was striding towards the elevator. She swayed her hips like she owned the floor. I didn't know if I would call her dumb or not for giving her bag to a complete stranger. I glanced at the receptionist confused. "Erm what is going on?" I asked the receptionist. She gave me a wary smile. "I'm sorry about that. She belongs to the creative team." She said, "What am I going to do about this?" I asked carefully, raising the purse. The receptionist was pretty nervous. I could tell one thing for sure: she held some type of power here. "I don't know, maybe you should take it to her. You don’t want to mess with Blaire Kensington if you want a peaceful stay here." She explained, this was a bit messed up. "But." I clamped my mouth and took a while to get my thoughts together. Blaire Kensington was already nowhere to be seen. She was really confident that I was her a

97 - Glad to be Mrs Von Duvall

Cassandra’s POVThe mocking laughter lingered in the air, as if they were all waiting for me to crack, to laugh it off and scurry back out the door with my tail between my legs.. But I didn’t react as they expectedBlaire leaned back in her chair, her arms crossed, lips curved in a smug smile that made my skin itch. “Sweetheart,” she said, leaning back in her chair with that smug little tilt to her head, “you’re clearly lost. This meeting is for the creation team. Run along before you embarrass yourself further. ”A few people snickered. Someone whispered, “Poor thing.” My jaw clenched so hard I thought my teeth might crack.I didn’t move.A few heads nodded. Others looked at me with pity, like they’d already written me off.I swallowed, forcing my spine straight. “I’m not lost,” I said clearly, and that earned another laugh.Blaire tilted her head, studying me like an insect. “The junior visual producer position is vacant because the former one was promoted and is currently abr

98 - Cassandra's idea

Cassandra’s POV The room was still thick with subtlety when I took my seat, like everyone was afraid to breathe too loudly in case the balance tipped again. The shift was obvious, moment ago they were mocking me and now reality had slapped them hard across the face Their eyes were locked on me, and curiosity and astonishment were written all over their faces. Blaire didn’t bother hiding her glare. If looks could draw blood, I would have been bleeding out on the conference table. Theodore clasped his hands together, resting his elbows lightly on the table as he scanned the room. The earlier tension didn’t faze him. If anything, he seemed more focused now. “Alright,” he said, scanning everyone in the room. “Let’s get to why we’re here.” He tapped his tablet and the large screen behind him flickered to life, displaying mood boards, colour palettes, and rough visual concepts. I was a bit nervous I didn't expect to get locked into serious work from my first day “Our next project i

99 - Her first Rival

Cassandra’s POV Blaire was already sitting opposite Mr Longstan's desk by the time I walked into the room. Theodore gave me a small smile once he spotted me at the door. Blaire’s face stiffened noticeably before she scoffed. "Please take a seat, Cassandra," he urged. I walked over and then took a seat across from him. "Is anything wrong?" I asked with a soft smile, Blaire, being an obvious pain in the arse, rolled her eyes. It was crazy how she didn't even bother to hide her dislike for me "Not really...you gave an idea earlier. " he praised. "I am glad you love it." I chimed, and he nodded before his gaze fell on Blaire. "I will appreciate it if you get along." He drawled, his gaze settled on Blaire’s whose face went red. Her lips parted then closed. Theodore sighed, his voice turned calmer, "I know what you did back there, Blaire. You knew it was Cassandra’s first day, but you deliberately put her in a difficult position," he called out. I was stunned. Theodore was

100 - Her sugar daddy

Cassandra’s POV It was finally 5 pm, and I didn't do much aside from helping to draft a rough proposal about my idea before pushing it to the ones in charge. Theodore also instructed that I get familiar with the place. Just a couple of chit-chats here and there, luckily, Blaire didn't do anything to get on my nerves after Theodore gave her a word of advice. A little birdie told me she left early, seeing there wasn't much to do that day since Theodore didn’t have any shoot he was in charge of. "I advise you to watch your back." The front desk receptionist gave me a fair warning. She was a very chatty person and the one with the highest office rumours. She was the one who told me she literally saw Blaire leaving earlier than she should. She didn't even bother clocking out "Did Blaire start working here recently?" I couldn't help but ask. Based on what I heard it wasn't her first day and with the way Theodore spoke about her lacking experience it was safe to sa
