She had a smirk on. “That’s no way to greet someone you haven't seen in so long.” "What... What are you doing here?"“What do you think I'm doing here?” Her arms folded over her chest. “I've come to take back what you took from me."“I never took anything from you.”"Oh you did." She started towards me. "Else you won't even be here in the first place."My brows furrowed. "I'm here only because you left the wedding. Have you forgotten?" She didn't want to be committed.She wanted to still be single.So why the hell was she back?She made an amused sound. "How could I forget?""Good, because I don't know what you expected me to do."She just shrugged. "It was nice of you keeping my place warm, but it's time to leave."A frown landed. "You've been gone three years, Cassie. You can't just come back and expect Drex to.... I don't know, want you back."Her smirk grew. “Oh dear, he still does.”“What?"“Why else will he want a divorce. Or want you out of his life tonight,” she stopped, “bec

I stared at it for a long while, before shaking my head.“I'm sorry, Cassie. I just can't let you take my husband that way.” She rolled her eyes. “Don't be pathetic. Drex is outside. He's the one who drove me here, so he clearly doesn't want to be your husband.“Just sign it and let's all go our separate ways.”I noticed how dad and Trish had both gone silent, but the shocks stayed in their expressions.It didn't stop me from continuing. “Drex is outside?”“Clearly.”With a sigh, I brushed past her and walked out of the building.It was already dark out, but with the lights I could still make out his figure where he stood, leaned against his car.I had to remember my dad's words and quench any bit of shame left."One month." I said, voice barely above a whisper, then watched how his brows furrowed."What are you saying?""Listen, I know you don't love me. Heck, you probably never would, but please..." my eyes begged him to listen, "just give me one month."He frowned. "And what the h

“Wait… Lisa?” I stared, brows furrowed as she strutted in, about two guards trailing behind her.“You know her?” Mr Gori asked.“I… I don't know.” Was this Lisa?They had the same face, and maybe height. But this woman definitely didn't look like the same person of five years ago.She looked like money puked on her. Everything she had on could not cost less than a million dollars, and the way she walked. The aura in each step.Finn rubbed his hand together. “Sir, I think you should go talk to her.”“What?”“No, I mean, you should try to join hands with her, and maybe…” I had already stopped listening.My feet moved on their own, and before I knew it, I was walking towards her.I needed to know if this was her. Or if my eyes were playing a weird trick on me.When I got close, a guard stepped in front of me. “Do you need anything, sir?”“Yes, I have to talk to Lisa.”“I'm sorry, but Miss Red doesn't talk to strangers. If you have anything to discuss, then please book an appointment and

“Mummy!” My daughter, Imogen Red jumped right into my arms the second I walked in.“Hey, beautiful.” I gave her cheek a peck. “How was your day?”“Great! Uncle Leo allowed me to watch TV.”“We had an agreement, Imogen.” Leo said, leaning on the railing. “I distract your mother and you don’t expose me.”“Oh. Sorry.” She giggled either way.“You better me.” He walked down the stairs, then smiled at me. “So, how many fake smiles did you survive tonight?”“More than the last time.” I shook my head. “It was boring. As usual.”He chuckled. “You always say that.” “‘Cause it's true.” I set my daughter down. “Thanks for watching Imogen while I was gone.”He brushed it off with a wave. “Anyways, I saw what's trending.”“What's that?” I threw the heels off, then went to lay on the couch, not surprised when my clingy daughter followed, laying on my legs. She was cute when she did that.“You and Drex.”“It's trending already? They really don't take a break.” “Why're you not bothered? Everyone's

Cassie started towards me, hips swaying with each step till she stopped a foot away.“How was work today, dear?” Her fingers lifted to my shoulder.“What are you doing here?” I asked, tone sharp.“What do you mean? Can't a girl pay her boyfriend a visit anymore?” She kept her voice slow and sultry. “I was thinking maybe I should spend the night here.”My face twisted in disgust. “I am not your boyfriend anymore. We broke up already, so stop this shit.” I stepped back so her hand slid off my shoulder, earning a frown.“Well I've told you I didn't accept the stupid breakup, so will you just forget about it!”My fist clenched. “You've been saying that for two years already.”When she rolled her eyes, I frowned. “We are not a couple. Not anymore, and if you're not willing to accept that, then it's your problem.“But get one thing straight, Cassie… All this shit you're doing,” I gestured to her in my room, “must never repeat itself.”“Baby—”“The next time you come to my house uninvited or
