Carlos POV
"Carlos, this is not the way to your home," she noticed that I drove the car to a different path.
Cassandra POV"Yes."That one simple word from him almost crashed my world. Tears started to brim in my eyes. I can't look into his eyes, so I stare blankly on the grass underneath my feet. I chanted quietly in my head to warn myself not to drop single tears in front of him.
After two yearsCassandra POV"Scarlet wakes up. Your alarm keeps screaming for your name. Didn't you hear that?" I knocked on her door a few times but still no response. Her alarm intruded on my peacefulness this morning but as always she doesn't aware of that.
Cassandra POV"Babe, the first batch of my book is sold out!" I screamed at the phone. The excitement was all over me and I can't control it.

Cassandra POV"Why are you running away yesterday, Cupcake?" I heard a hoarse voice behind me."Cupcake?" I repeated the last word silently. The voice sound familiar. I spun my body instantly looking for the source. I was terrified of the sight in front of me.He leaned on the wall with his hand tugged in his pocket. He dressed in black jeans and a blue Polo shirt that hugged his toned body perfectly."Smart as always", I praised inaudibly."You are drooling over me again," he smirked."I-I'm not." I protested even though I indeed was."That is okay, Cupcake. I love it when you look at me like that." He confessed arrogantly."What do you want from me?" Now, I was terrified of this person that claimed himself as 'Carlos Gonzales', the hero that I created in my book. I looked around at the surroun
