Cassandra POV:"He's crazy!" I repeated my words and this time even louder.Ricky got really annoyed and quickly grabbed my body and cupped my mouth with his hand. He signalled his men to cover him up as he dragged me to the car.I struggled hard to escape and muffled a few complaining words that were not even heard. Minutes later, I was already been shoved by him inside the car, locked in the backseat again, unable to get out as always. This was his normal way to contain me if I misbehaved when we were outside. I knew the car door was locked but the window could be pulled down. So I did it and deliberately laughed at him to mock his worries."Are you afraid that I might ruin your night? That new salacious rumours might start at the company tomorrow? Oh, look... the CEO is still so damn devoted to his secretary, he abandoned his wife alone at the launching ceremony to find his missing lover," another mocking from me and he instantly glanced back to meet my eyes."Pull up the window an

Riccardo POV:Get out of her face? Really? Did she even know why I was down there for over an hour? I tried to settle matters with Carina so the thing that happened at the launching event before won't happen again. I came into the bedroom, hoping she had the capacity to understand that I wanted peace for everyone living in this house, yet she accused me of trying to have an affair with Carina. If there was one person I cared about the most inside this house, it would be Cassie. Why couldn't she see that?Before we reached home, I called Sergio to come. I had a long talk with Carina inside the car, reprehending her over and over again until she understood that whatever action she made on the stage before was totally uncompromised by me. I let it slide this time, but I wanted her to sign a few papers of terms that she needed to adhere to if she wanted me to continue helping her.Those terms would be related to any excessive physical touch from her to me, whether it was intentional or un

Cassandra POV:It felt like the most peaceful sleep I ever had. I couldn't remember how many sleeping pills I had taken before I went into my deep slumber. But one thing was for sure, I didn't regret it. My mind finally stopped thinking about Ricky. When I finally woke up, a bright light shone on my eyes."Miss Moore? Can you hear me? If you can hear me, blink once," a male voice instructed. I blinked and he instantly moved the lights away from me. He was wearing a doctor's coat and that was when I realized I was not at Ricky's mansion anymore.My head turned slowly, scanning the surrounding. It looked like a private ward for a patient. With the doctor around and some nurses, I could guess easily that I was in a hospital right now.Ricky appeared and talked with the doctor about something. After that, the doctor make a few checkups on me before he left with his nurses, leaving me and Ricky alone."Drink some water," Ricky said as he poured me a glass of water. He gave it to me before

Riccardo POV:Cassandra got released from the hospital two days after she woke up. That moment when she finally gained consciousness, Carina kept demanding from me to allow her to visit Cassie at the hospital. But, I disallowed it. She kept saying how guilty she was that Cassie tried to suicide thinking that she was the reason for it.Yet, from Dr Mala's clinical perception, she didn't think Cassie was trying to commit suicide. She said that Cassie was probably just oblivious to herself that night, causing her to not realize how much she had consumed the sleeping pills. If that was the case, then I was to be blamed for it.Cassie had shown signs that she was unwell that day. But I took it lightly and left her unchecked for too long. If only I went up to the bedroom right after dinner that night, she wouldn't have overdosed on the pills. Dr Mala informed me that Cassie was having trouble sleeping because she had too many thoughts on her mind. That was the thing that caused her to get f

Cassandra POV:"Cassie," Ricky growled hard while suddenly gripping my right wrist, pulling it backwards so I turned around to face him. He glared at me sharply that I felt like his eyes were blades piercing my heart."Ricky..." Carina moaned annoyingly, pretending to be sulky that Ricky ignored her. She walked even faster to reach us. But then, Ricky felt hostile to her sudden movement and he unconsciously glared at her too."Stop right there. Go back to your seat and be quiet," he ordered Carina harshly, in front of everyone and I could see her face slowly turn red due to embarrassment.This was getting interesting. I guessed Ricky was right about wanting me to socialize more with other people. I never thought it would be this compelling to see Ricky getting jealous and accidentally getting mad at his fake wife in public. Everyone had their eyes on Ricky now, including the whole Fontana family members.He slowly released my wrist as he realized the situation and obviously looked flu
