Cassandra POV:My lips trembled as I wanted to say something in return, but Ricky told me to get up and packed my stuff quickly. He was so eager to come home that very instant and the unreasonable jealousy just kept hitting my heart again."You seem to really miss your wife so much, you couldn't wait even one second to come home..." I mumbled under my breath, satirizing him slowly.His eyes that kept staring at me before finally looked away and he sighed with sound of exasperation. I could see his hands turning into balls, maybe having an intense desire to hit me but he seemed trying hard to refrain his anger from coming out."Can I go home using another car?" I deliberately asked. It felt so good to keep making him mad."No," he replied firmly."Then can you just go home first and then tell Dome to pick me up later?"Maybe I was just trying to dig my own grave. I knew he would eventually lose his temper any moment now, but I still asked him annoying questions because I wanted to go h

Riccardo POV:I missed Cassie, I really did. I missed how easy it was for me to approach her before without her retaliating at me. Now, whenever I tried to touch her, she just shunned me away. I could understand that I was not the best partner for her right now and how wrong I was that I put her in this situation with Carina involved, but I just wanted to make sure everyone was safe. I wanted her to be safe as much as I wanted Carina to be safe too. It was not that I loved Carina more than her. I had never intended for her to feel that way. Carina was just a responsibility but Cassie was far more than that. She was my life. I didn't know how I could make her understand that or make her believe me. She seemed to only have negative thoughts about me nowadays."Ma'am, your phone kept ringing inside the bedroom. I saw the caller ID. It's the same person every time, Tina Sanfield," Verona whispered to Cassie but I could hear them clearly.Cassie's expression instantly changed as if she was

Cassandra POV:"You stupid bitch! Why did you keep calling me?!" I yelled at the phone and put it on flight mode instantly.Then I closed my eyes tightly and I could feel my hands shaking as I gripped the phone hard. How I wished I could just throw the phone on the wall. But if it gets broken, I would waste my money to buy a new one. That was not good because I had this strong feeling that I needed to save money from now on, just in case I needed to run away. If that were the case, I might need to change my name and maybe do plastic surgery on my face so I could live a new life in hiding and unrecognized by Ricky. That kind of plan would require a lot of money to be executed.I took a deep breath several times until my heartbeats slowed down. Only then did my tears stop falling too. After I felt like I could handle my emotion again, I turned off the flight mode of my phone and scrolled through my contact list to find Lydia's number. She was the one that I bought a car using Ricky's cr

Cassandra POV:He marched straight to me domineeringly and I flinched a bit when he stopped just a few inches in front of me. His presence was somewhat terrifying, I swore it felt like I almost got a heart attack."Take this," Ricky said to Dome, handing the bodyguard his briefcase. Dome just adhered to his order and got into the car later, sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car engine.Ricky glanced at me and leaned forward to open the car door beside me. He told me to get in, which I did instantly. I didn't want any issues today. Last night was very tiring for me mentally, especially after venting out my problem to Lydia. Today, I just wanted to have some peace of mind.Ricky closed my door and he walked around the car to get into the seat beside me. He put the food container on his lap. I wondered if he did that because he disallowed me to eat and wanted to throw the food away later or because he wanted to berate me first before allowing me to eat.The car started moving

Cassandra POV:"Did you see Cassandra tonight?""Yup. She's smoking hot. I bet Mr Xavier can't get over her yet.""Of course, he can't. Why do you think she still working at our company? I bet Mr Xavier paid her extra to make her stay.""Money runs everything, dude. She surely could be bought with just a few thousand dollars.""Mr Xavier is really heinous, don't you think? I heard that Cassandra moved in with him not long ago. I never heard of her moving out of his house. Now, he's married. And he's keeping his wife and his mistress in the same house.""Money, dude. I told you, it's because of money and power. What kind of stupid woman would leave someone like Mr Xavier?""Wow... it must be good to be rich and powerful... Women just settled with Mr Xavier because they didn't want to lose his influence or his money.""I know right... I bet he probably had a few women that he kept in his other residential properties. That guy owned multiple buildings in this country. I'm sure Carina and
