Aiden ends up carrying Cassandra into Michael’s bed and she only stirs when she’s placed down onto the sheets.
Aiden sits on the bed next to her and swipes her fringe off her forehead.
“It’s okay, Cass, just gets you comfortable,” Aiden reassures an exhausted Cassandra.
“Sorry I fell asleep,” Cassandra says tiredly as she looks at her brother.
“Don’t apologize kiddo, you need your rest” Aiden smiles. Cassandra sighs.
“Do you, do you think I should move in with Michael?” Cassandra asks innocently.
She wants to say yes to Michael but she wants her brothers' approval too.
“What the hell do you mean Ali?” Michael booms into the phone the next morning.Cassandra hears him yelling as she enters the doorway to his office, Cassandra is dressed in black skinny jeans and a baseball tee, her black and white check vans on her feet. She was hoping to ask Michael a favour but she doesn’t know if she should even go near Michael right now.“I want him found” Michael seethes.Cassandra decides it’s probably best not to ask Michael her question now and goes to leave Michael’s doorway but Michael sees her, they lock eyes.“I don’t care, call me when you’ve got him,” Michael says angrily, eyes never leaving Cassandra.He hangs up and they stare
‘Two teenagers were giggling, holding their hands so tight that they were touching their soul only by holding each other, or as if they were trying to stay close and remember this moment for eternity as they were making their way to the fairy wheel.The girl was a little bit chubby with a curvy body that was mesmerizing every passerby, her skin was blushing hard that it was contrasting the floral yellow dress she was wearing. Her long peachy-y Blonde hair cascading on her back, the wind was also playing its part to making her more stunning than ever, as her pale- blonde hue that’s ever so slightly peach-tinged dances around her body. As the boy chuckled when he noticed she was getting annoyed by this, he tied her hair with a red-colored bow, which he brought specially for her on the way here. The girl blushed so hard that she bit on her lips, unknowingly making the boy’
~ Cassandra~I hop off the stool abandoning my bowl of half-eaten soup and goes get dressed, Michael heading for the shower. It’s cold out and I dress in black skinny jeans, a white sweater and a beanie, Michael donning his crisp grey suit. He looks so sexy and intimidating that I have to suppress a shiver every time I look at him.We reach the office with no hassle, having Michael's extended security team helps but it also draws more attention than I’m used to.Once safely inside the building, I sense Michael turning his cold, intimidating exterior on, the one that I am not used to seeing anymore. Michael’s hand goes straight to my back, leading me inside and towards the lift. Ali follows along with Louis and two other guards. People are staring and Michael isn’t fazed one single bit.
~ Cassandra~I and Ava have a blast and I was instantly in love with the little girl, we have formed a special bond in just a few hours. I was so used to being the youngest one that I’m loving looking after Ava.Michael and Eren end up being stuck in their meeting and an hour after I have drawn Ava over 30 pictures to color in, she gets bored.“Aunt Cass, I’m bored,” She said as she stretched out one arm and covered her yawning mouth with another hand. She looked so adorable as her soft baby skin shimmered with the hint of a light pink hue when she yawned which made me smile at her. Could not really hide from the charms of the santorum, like the uncle-like niece, they show off their charms even when they don’t really
~ Michael ~ I had a meeting with my brother Eren about how we should cool down the matter about Cassandra and me and what I should do to protect her from everything or everyone but rather than that I was missing her all the time. I was waiting for the meeting to wrap up soon so I would go to her. I know she is with my niece and they might be enjoying each other's company without getting bored. That's what makes me itch to go to them to witness them playing around. I hurried to end this meeting as soon as possible with an unreasonable solution. A solution that I know Cassandra will never accept but it is the last thing I’m about now cause I’m gonna convince her into it. As soon as the meeting ended I spun on my heels and dashed out of the meeting room
~AUTHOR’S POV~ Cassandra wakes to a click and comes face to face with Michael and Eren snapping a few pics of her and Ava. “Sorry, we fell asleep” Cassandra whispers. “We’re sorry the meeting ran late, thank you for watching her Cassandra, she’s smitten,” Eren says. “I am too,” Cassandra smiles. As Eren’s face reflects her and picks Ava up, they say goodbye and Eren leaves the office. Cassandra looks toward Michael as she notices his clenched jaw as she gazes at his tight-fisted hands, she wonders what he’s thinking but pushes the thought back when Michael smiles and sits next to Cassandra on the couch and kisses on her couch... “Thank you for watching, Ava,” Michael says.
~ Michael ~ I reached the car parking with Robert but there is no sign of Cassandra. “Where’s Cassandra?” I asked as panic rose in my chest when I saw my team at the bottom. “Michael doesn’t panic but someone has tampered with Lift B, Cassandra is inside with Sophia and Ali, the police and fire brigade are on their way” Louis reassures. “What do you mean someone’s tampered with the lift?” I yelled with anticipation, worry spilling through me. “Boss,” Charlie says as he comes up behind me, I turn around and take the iPad that’s offered. “That’s Daniel in the powder room, he’s the one who’s messed with the lift, he’s long gone thoug
~ AUTHOR’S POV ~ “Hiya kiddo,” Aaron says as Cassandra enters the kitchen later that night after she’s showered. “Aaron,” Cassandra says and rushes forward into Aaron’s waiting arms. Aaron looks at his little sister with adoration, she is dressed in black sweats and Michael’s grey hoodie and Aaron thinks she’s so tiny and adorable in those clothes. Michael was presented there as he watches on fondly as Aaron picks Cassandra up, cuddles her, and places her on the bench. He then stands in front of Cassandra smiling. Michael grabs Aaron’s beer and his own wine glass and hands Aaron his drink. He comes towards Cassandra with never leaving smiles on his beautiful lips and kisses her on the forehead. “You okay?” Aaron asks, concerned as he inspects Cassandra cu
