Cassandra POV:I walked out of the mall and just took another taxi. I gave the driver the address of Lydia's apartment building. She said previously that my new place was just nearby hers. I leaned my back on the backseat and just called Lydia to inform her about me going there."Gosh... Cassie... I thought you couldn't make it," Lydia sighed on the phone, sounding as if she had just got woken up from sleep. That put a pang of guilt inside my heart. I was supposed to be there like hours ago but the silly me just decided to come back to Ricky's mansion only for me to see a horrid show from Carina.Thinking back about it, my heart just slowly developed such an intense resentment towards Ricky. How could he let this happen to us? How could he claim to love me so much but made me see him naked in bed with that witch? The biggest resentment would be why I needed to run away to provide safety for our unborn child when it should have been his responsibility to protect us from someone as vile

Leonardo POV:I woke up in the morning feeling tired mentally. Cassandra called me last night and said she had left Ricky's mansion. But then she just suddenly cut the call abruptly and told me that she would reach me back. But she didn't and that had bothered my mind the whole night.I was so worried about her that I kept thinking of calling her back. I did that during breakfast while at the dining table but her phone was no longer in service. That instantly added to my worries. What if Ricky got her back and found the record of my call and my text messages from Cassandra's phone? Wouldn't that might worsen the situation?"Why are you looking so tense this morning? You had black eyes too. Did you not sleep last night?" My brother, Lorenzo asked. He was the middle child."He probably hooked up with a new chick and got into an argument with her. Then, she refused to call you back, isn't she?" Louis the last child teased.Lorenzo turned his head to Louis immediately and gave that little

Cassandra POV: I lay on the sofa and just stared at the ceiling emptily. How did my perfect life turn this way? I had a good job before, bought my dream apartment, had my first car, living my life comfortably with freedom and without fear of getting killed. Now, all those had gone. I was fired, my apartment was sold without my will, and I had to abandon my car because Ricky could track it and had to live my life in hiding due to fear of Ricky's enemies. Everything went downhill the moment Carina got into our life. It felt like falling into an abyss. My tears fell unexpectedly as I pondered over my fate, but then those sad feelings were shunned away by the ring from my phone. I wiped my tears immediately and took it. Maybe it was Leonardo. I stared at the screen and saw the caller ID. It was Lydia instead. Well, I needed someone to vent out anyway so I just took the call. Besides, I had no one else to talk to other than Lydia. I could have called Leo but it was just weird if I compla

Leonardo POV: After getting caught up in a traffic jam for more than thirty minutes, I finally arrived at the location I was supposed to meet with Cassie. It was weird that there was a traffic jam today. The road I had taken wasn't usually packed with cars unless it was a holiday session. It was not right now so I couldn't understand why there were so many cars on the road today. That had totally ruined my original schedule. My new driver, Adriano parked the car in front of the Lombardi Company building. So did the other four cars that were filled with my bodyguards. They all parked behind my car. After Logan died due to the bombing incident at the airport, I made Adriano replace him since this one guy was also among those that I trusted dearly. I didn't usually use a driver but going here was an hour's journey and I didn't like getting tired due to driving. Cassandra should be inside this building waiting for me. I tried calling her but the call didn't get through. I wondered if sh

Riccardo POV:Cassie had been missing for five days now. I had told my men to watch over all her close friends' houses, just in case she came to see any of them. Yet until this point, the search didn't give me any positive results. It felt like she just vanished into thin air. She couldn't be tracked at all.Two days after she left, the police found an abandoned car in the city without a plate number. It matched the car that belonged to Cassie. So, I went to check it and confirmed that it was indeed her car. We then checked the CCTV footage of the nearby stores' buildings. In the video, she was seen walking two blocks away before vanishing again without a trace. The police assumed she was taking a taxi in a hidden area and just moved to another place. That was the last trace of her.Now, I had nothing. No new information about her at all. She didn't even use her credit card nor did she withdraw any money from her bank account. It really felt like she was trying hard to avoid getting c
