It's been hours since hours since Carlson left for the office and Cassandra has been in their room not knowing what to do. She had a long shower, trying to get her thoughts together.Her phone has been going off for hours. Frank and Kelly were not the only ones calling, the police were calling and so were a few relatives. Going back home to face the truth of her father's death was something she had not prepared herself for.‘’If only I had come a day earlier... A day was all it would have taken to save him’’ she laments. Alex and Tessa stood by the door. Alex was more cold than his female companion Tessa who was more of a chatterbox.She was a good spy and very good at walking her way out of situations with her charms and smile playing over the intelligence of others. The reason for both of them being the chosen ones was not far-fetched. They did not only hold high ranks, but they were like Human shields. Dedication was what they gave to their job.‘’Mistress’’ Tessa called from outsi
His strange habit did not frighten Cassandra, rather she felt protected and safe. Her father's murderer was still on the run and not knowing who the real culprit was only made it harder and her safety uncertain. She was happy to have a man like Carlson looking out for her at all times. As they settled everything, Carlson led his woman to the car while Tessa and Alex got in another. The ride back home was a qucik one. ‘’Have you thought of what you want to do with the properties left behind and the companies?’’ Carlson asked as he drove into the yard. The guards were all stationed ready to welcome them. Cassandra could feel the familiarity with his questions. He had asked her the same question in her previous life. She wanted nothing to do with all left behind, she was mad, she held a grudge against her deceased father for not supporting her, and had cut off everyone who reminded her of him. Now she was ready to walk another path, she had more closure than she had ever had in her year
As Cassandra listened carefully her eyes widened at the realization of her words.‘’Baby, I don't know if I got it right, but I am certain whatever I heard sounded like that’’ Laura assured her.‘’Will you act on it?’’ Cassandra did not want to worry her. She was over in France for her treatment and stress was what she wanted to keep far away from her bonus mother. She was hurt but she was still putting up a string for the sake of her only child.She had no children of her own and never would she. Cassandra was the only one aside from her father aware Laura couldn't not have children consequently due to the terminal disease she had been battling for years. She was all she had and that made her love her even more.‘’It's nothing to fear, mama, it was only a casual conversation. I won't act on it’’ Cassandra went on to talk with Laura for a few minutes before hanging up.As she stared at the pictures scattered all over the wall, she did not know how it all happened but at this point, th

Cassandra held onto the phone so tight. She dared not say a word to Carlson as the night faded away. She could not sleep, she kept tossing and turning, they did share a bed but that was all it was to it. She was not ready and she felt grateful he understood her state of mind at the moment. For a moment she considered him her safe space. Morning soon came and as Carlson got ready for the office, he made sure to prepare everything for her. A board meeting was to be held at noon, while Cassandra had to attend another meeting with the staff of the company. ‘’Lunch?’’ Carlson asks as they step out to board their various rides to the office. “No... I promised to chat with Mama, so I will have lunch alone. Cassandra could not tell him, she was stepping out. Whosoever called knew something not only about her father's death but who Carlson was. She had been warned and she planned on sticking to the warning kindly. ‘’Okay,’’ she replied, laying a gentle kiss on her forehead before heading for
If the world could end on request, then that was exactly what Kimberly wished for. How could she have known the lady from earlier on was the only daughter of her late boss? Cassandra had not been the type to frequent the office after her university days. She was more concerned with having others do the job for her while focusing more on building her fake relationship. Now being mistook for a mistress is what she gets for always hiding and staying away from the media and paparazzi. ‘’Good morning everyone, I am Cassandra William and will be taking over from my father while waiting for other things to be sorted out’’ she announced as she sat gracefully on the CEO seat reserved for her. She need not say, but they all did understand she talking of the Chairman's funeral. ‘’Miss Cassandra, why the sudden decision to take over the seat of your father? We all know you aren't interested in handling the business, so why dont you leave it to able hands?’’ Robert asked as everyone nodded. Cassa
Ever since his wedding, Frank Edward has not had peace of his own. So Much was happening in very little time and he had to be the one to take care of everything. Unlike Kelly who was rather having a better chance at escaping everything, he did not. The company he worked for had been for Cassandra, she had been the one to pave the path for him, and seeing everyone was aware of his cheating and consequent abandonment at the altar. His job was on the line. Edward carries himself from the bed. He wanted nothing more than to sleep and wish this nightmare of life would go away. ‘’Where are you off to so early’’ he asked Kelly who was fully dressed in sexy pants and a crop top. It was not an appropriate choice of dress for work and they both knew it. ‘’Just to hang out with some friends'’ Kelly replied nonchalantly. She paid no attention to the man speaking to her as she did her hair and applied even more contour. ‘’Isn't it too early to be hanging out with friends? And which friends are t
Cassandra had barely had her head cleared after the staff meeting when Tessa rushed in informing her of the board meeting which was meant to be held in an hour but apparently, it was ongoing already. ‘’What?’’ she cursed out. She was burned out already, yet the day was still young. ‘’Let's go’’ she informs Tessa who helps her with her bag, and Alex leisurely walks behind. Just by seeing her, everyone adjusted in their seats. ‘’Welcome Miss Willimas’’ Rick Sandals, her father's secretary, greeted, as he pulled out the CEO seat for her. The room was mainly filled with aged men all looking at her like she was a piece of meat ready for slaughter. Cassandra did not like the stares, but she was not in any position to make it stop. Unlike her father, who was strict, decisive, and ruthless, she only had anger from her previous life as a driven force. ‘’You should have been here earlier, starting on a bad note, I don't think you have what it takes to lead this empire’’ Mr Logan Mycall was fir
