Jasper posed the question, "What should we do now?" to which I responded with a shrug. Alex and Kenny exchanged pensive glances, and then Kenny proposed the idea, "Maybe we could catch a movie." I shrugged once more, feeling indifferent towards the suggestion.Julie interjected, "Why don't we go drinking instead?" The notion of drinking didn't appeal to me, and I wrinkled my nose in disgust. Jasper quickly vetoed the idea, stating, "Sandy doesn't drink, so that's not an option." I couldn't resist grinning in triumph as three of us were against Julie's proposal and none were in favor.Julie looked as if she was on the brink of exploding, but the boys paid no heed to her demands and instead discussed which movie to watch. Ultimately, it was decided that we would watch a movie at Jasper's place. The boys generously allowed me to choose the movie, as I was feeling down."Yay, The Alchemist!" I exclaimed excitedly, but Jasper and Alex responded with groans of displeasure.Julie proposed, "W

"Are you absolutely certain? I'm fine with whatever you choose. I simply need to use the restroom urgently!" exclaimed Cassandra in frustration.I chuckled at her irritation and motioned for her to go ahead. Then I directed my attention towards Julie."I believe it's my responsibility to determine who qualifies as a guest in my own house," I asserted firmly.Julie appeared taken aback by my statement. "But, Jasper, she isn't even a guest! She's the hired help!""She's not just an employee!" I raised my voice, my desire to protect Cassandra surfacing. "Don't ever refer to her in that manner. She's like a friend to me. Do not dare to call her anything else."Julie's hand rested on my shoulder, but she quickly removed it, acknowledging her mistake. "I apologize," she murmured, her tone contrite. "I had no idea that you had such strong feelings for her.""You do now," I retorted icily, turning away from her. However, my attention was abruptly diverted by Cassandra's urgent yell from my bed

Julie's POV:As I got into the car, I couldn't help but slam the door in frustration. "Easy!" exclaimed Alex, to which I rolled my eyes before resting my head against the seat. Today had been a complete disaster. I had previously dismissed the idea that Jasper had feelings for Cassandra, but it turned out that he actually cared about her.In that moment, I wanted nothing more than to release my frustration by breaking something. However, I knew that wasn't the appropriate course of action when Jasper asked me to pick up the bags and lectured me in front of everyone. I needed to gain Jasper's trust first before convincing him to call off his wedding to Cassandra. Although I had been confident when I first challenged Cassandra, my confidence had wavered.I made the decision to try a different approach and win Kenny and Alex's favor. "So Kenny, are you seeing someone?" I asked with genuine curiosity, hoping to start a conversation that would help take my mind off of my current predicament

Cassandra's POV:As I opened my eyes, I felt a familiar weight resting across my waist, and a smile spread across my face at the sight of Jasper. He was snoring loudly, but he looked so peaceful and serene that I didn't want to disturb him. After lying there for some time, I heard Mrs. Madison tinkering around in the kitchen and decided to slip out of the room. I carefully pried Jasper's arm off me and got up, making my way to the kitchen to greet her. "Good morning!" I exclaimed cheerfully, causing her to drop the pan she was holding in fright. "Oh, Miss Cassandra, you scared me!" she exclaimed.Feeling sheepish, I apologized for startling her. Mrs. Madison then asked me where I had been for the past two days, and I explained that I had been at my home. She hesitated for a moment before sharing her concern for Jasper, whom she considered as her own son. "Well, I don't know if it's my place to say this or not, but Mr. Jasper is like a son to me, and I am worried about him," she confide

As Jasper called Alex and Kenny to plan our mission, I observed their arrangements. Alex mentioned he would meet us at Jasper's place after work, and Kenny confirmed he would come over immediately.Concerned for Jasper's well-being, I suggested that he also needed to go to the office. However, Jasper replied with a smirk and flexed his muscles, saying that he had planned to take the day off to protect me.His macho gesture made me giggle, and I told him that Kenny was coming over, so he could go without worrying about me. Despite rolling his eyes, Jasper got ready and went to get dressed. Meanwhile, Mrs. Madison finished her work and left, reminding me to take care of myself.Entering the room, I paused and noticed Jasper standing in front of his wardrobe, contemplating which shirt to wear with his jeans."I wonder if we managed to persuade her," I asked, my voice trembling with nervousness."Mrs. Madison? Definitely. The kiss sealed the deal," Jasper replied, giving me a wink that mad

While having an early dinner, we discussed our plan for the evening. Kenny reviewed the plan several times, but we didn't mind as it made us feel more secure. The plan was simple; we would go to the location, Jasper would drop me off at the doorstep, and then leave. I would enter my house and lock the door behind me. Jasper would drive around the block and return with Alex and Kenny in their car. They would park outside my house and keep an eye out for any visitors. I was instructed to stay on the phone with one of them at all times.As we finished our meal quickly, I felt relieved to have the support of these three individuals. They all looked elegant in their black attire. We got into the car and headed towards my home. Jasper walked me to the door and joked, "Wish you were staying over with me."I replied, keeping up with our ruse to deceive the stalker, "Oh Jasper, I need to be here sometimes too.""I understand. I will miss you tonight," he said softly, gazing into my eyes.After

Cassandra’s POV"I need your confirmation on something," I said to my friend Kenny."What's up?" he asked, sounding curious."I heard something from Julie that's really bothering me," I said, my irritation clear."Okay, spill it," he replied casually, not seeming too invested."Well, she told me that Jasper might be interested in me, but she also said that he spent the entire weekend in bed with her!" I exclaimed, my eyes rolling in annoyance."Are you serious?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in surprise."Yep, that's what she said," I confirmed with a mischievous grin."But why does that bother you?" he questioned, looking confused."Kenny, seriously?" I exclaimed, showing my frustration."I'm just joking with you, Cassandra," I said with a chuckle. "Let's be fair, you and Jasper haven't exactly professed your undying love for each other yet. So, even if that were to happen, you couldn't really blame Jasper, could you?"Pausing for a moment, I considered Kenny's words. "I suppose you're

Relying on my instincts, I quickly shifted the car into reverse and sped away from the scene as fast as possible.Julie called out, bewildered by my sudden departure, "Jasper? What's going on?""I need to get out of here," I urgently replied.Cassandra seemed perplexed by my behavior and questioned, "Why? What's wrong?""Didn't you see who was there just now?" I snapped, feeling frustrated."Julie," I muttered through gritted teeth. "I thought I was giving her a second chance, but I now realize that I was foolish."Turning away from my residence, I experienced a mix of emotions, including anger and disappointment. Soon after, Alex and Kenny caught up with us, rolling down their windows."Whoa!" Alex exclaimed, his tone incredulous."What on earth was that all about?""Julie," I responded tersely."Come on, man, that's your place. You should have asked her to leave!" Ale
