Cassandra's POVOn a pleasantly cool evening after work, I was fortunate enough to receive a ride home from Mr Bradwick, or in the way I called him now, Liam. Despite only working with him for a short time, he had already requested that I address him by his first name once we were out of work and it made me feel comfortable around him.It had been over a month since I resumed work at GlobalTech industries and like he told me when he announced that I was hired, I was working at the marketing department. My work actually was not as hectic as I thought it would be and I was working in a combi-office so had good relationship with my colleagues.After I closed from work, I took a cab back home to meet my adorable triplets and coming home to see them was always the best part of my day. The nanny, Mrs Meyer, always did a good job in taking care of my triplets and they looked clean, well-fed and happy whenever I returned from work."So what are your talents, Cassandra?""I don't know," I chuc
Cassandra's POVI panicked on seeing his reaction and wondered if I didn't prepare it properly. But this wasn't my first time preparing it! Maybe he just didn't like it."I'll just take it away if you don't like it," I offered."No, don't do that. It tastes fine, it just... The smell!" He explained."It's supposed to smell that way, it's a herbal tea," I told him, relieved that the smell was his only problem. "I added a bit of honey which is why it's not so obvious that it's herbal.""Ohh..." He muttered in reply just as one of the two boys in the crib began crying. "I'll get him," he volunteered and dropped the cup of tea to go get the child. "Mason fell asleep, I'm guessing that's why Justin began crying," he said as he walked back with Justin in arm. "I wonder how he managed it though.""Mason can sleep anywhere, even in a factory," I laughed."How would you know that?""I was working as a manual labourer in a factory before getting this job. When I used to take them along with me
Cassandra's POVI looked at Liam in wonder as he confessed having feelings for me and it was just like a dream. I had been hoping for this but, now that I was faced with it, I didn't know how to feel."Liam..." I began, even though I couldn't even think of what to say.All I knew was that I had to say something, anything, because he didn't deserve to be left hanging. He was a wonderful man."I... I don't know what to say," I spoke up."Do you feel the same way about me?" He asked, looking into my eyes and I shivered."I don't know, I just...""How about you take some time to think about it? I know that you are surprised since it's so sudden," he suggested and I slowly nodded."I think that'll be nice.""So when should I be expecting a reply?" He smiled."Umm... Maybe tomorrow," I muttered."Tomorrow it is. I guess I'll be driving you home tomorrow then," he said and brought out his car keys from his pocket."Bye," I waved and he did the same with a huge smile before getting into his c
Cassandra's POVAs Liam and I spent more time together, I felt like everything was finally falling into place as I now had almost everything I could want. Being with him felt so natural like we had known each other for years and we often talked about our hopes, dreams, fears, worries and everything in between.He drove me home every day even though we became more discreet in our dealing with each other so that the other workers in the company wouldn't find out about our relationship. Liam had wanted to show it off but I refused since I knew everyone would think that I only got the job because we were dating as I was still new in the company.Since our jobs left us with little extra time, we both spent time with the children when he brought me back from work and had our deep conversations while snuggling on the sofa.On one evening however, Liam requested for me to go out with him that night which I spontaneously rejected. He kept talking about it for days until Mrs Meyer ending up ove
Liam's POV"How was work today?" I asked Cassandra as she got into my car in the parking lot of a café.It had been about three months since we started dating and she still insisted on not telling everyone at work that we were dating. It wasn't like we saw each other often at work or just couldn't stay away from each other so it wasn't that difficult. I just didn't like the secrecy.Everyday after work, she would walk to this café since it was near our office and I would pick her up there which was so dramatic but I loved her so didn't argue."The usual, work and work," she sighed and I noticed she was craning her neck from the corner of my eyes as I drove."Should I give you a massage when we get home?" I asked."It's not that severe, I'll be fine," she declined with a small laugh."Are you sure?""Of course I'm sure, Mr Bradwick," she teased and we chuckled. "I'm going to have to stop at the supermarket to get some stuff," she announced afterwards."Which supermarket?""Anyone at al
Cassandra's POVI felt my heart rate spike as Liam continued to kiss me and my body slowly fell onto the couch but Liam followed so I couldn't even tell until I fell my head collide with the couch.What was I doing? How was I kissing him like this and letting him kiss me so deeply? We had never kissed this passionately but it felt so... It just felt somehow wrong.However, I couldn't stop and I didn't know why I kept kissing him, holding onto him, running one of my hands through his hair while the other held his shirt to keep him close. It was like my body was acting on its own accord and it was really crazy.This was just a light kiss at the beginning, how did we get to this point?'Are you a sex-starved freak? Call it off if you don't feel like it,' my mind scolded me and so I decided that I was going to stop him before I did something I would regret.However, his head moved to my neck just at the moment I was about to stop the very wonderful makeout session and my resolve totally d
Cassandra's POVI didn't tell Liam any more about the past after I broke down in tears that day and weeks moved on with the bond between Liam and I becoming stronger each day. We had steamy kisses a few other times and I always stopped him before we did anything but he remained patient, knowing that I needed more time.We however progressing more further with the makeout each time and I was scared of that but also excited in a way as I knew that eventually I would give myself to him one day.The boys also kept growing and soon, they were a year old. It was so unbelievable that I had been a mother for one whole year when I previously didn't think that I would survive even one day.Liam organized a small party at my home for their birthday with a few of my friends and Mrs Meyer of course. Everyone was having fun including the boys and it felt good to just be with the people who loved me and my sons.Mason who was growing to be quite introverted kept finding ways to go inside and hide th
THREE YEARS LATERCassandra's POV"Cassandra, I got a letter for you. It's from the supervisor," I heard Terrence say as he walked towards me in my space in the combi-office we shared."A letter for me?" I repeated."It's probably nothing fancy, don't freak out," he told me as he dropped the letter on my table and began heading to his table."What is it's something negative? I just finished working on the marketing strategy for the new product," I worried."Then that should mean that your strategy was accepted," the lady whose office space was beside me, Mariam told me."But he usually just tells us when something like that happens," I argued just as another of my colleague, Sonia snatched the letter and tore it open. "Hey! Be careful with that," I yelled as she opened the letter."Oh my gosh..." She gasped and my eyes widened."What is it?" All my colleagues began asking and I felt my heart pound heavily in my chest."Oh my gosh, Cassandra, congratulations!"My anxiousness suddenly p
