What do you do when all comes crashing down? How do you react when you realize the maze is gone and the truth is what you can't handle? Love, pain, betrayal;... To what extent are you willing to go? The wedding picture Cassandra held fell to the floor shattering into thousands of pieces just like the state of her heart. ‘’My heart is in just as same state as this picture” She crawls her way to the balcony overlooking the beautiful city. A life of a perfect housewife, a perfect wife and partner, now she looks back and it had been nothing but a joke. She stares one more time at the beauty of the city beneath her. ‘’What a waste”’ she spat angrily. Letting her fragile body fall from the 8 floors of an apartment bought with her own money. ‘’Time is all I wish for’’ she whispers. Falling and letting her blood graze the hard tar. Frank and Kelly watched with a satisfied look, not seeing the third eye from the corner who watched with pain written all over him. 6 years is what she offered, standing before two men on her wedding day, Cassandra wakes up. She had to choose a groom, will she go back with this man or would she take her chances into finding out what another 6 years would be in the hands of those longing eyes that watched her fall to her death or the hands that pushed her?’’
View MoreIt's been a week since Carson and his men exhumed the body of Nat. Cassandra has been so busy at work but her mind has been dancing around what means Carlon was intending to use to bring out the death of Nat to the world and his family. Everyone had covered his case and the police were actively involved. Such matters can not be handled privately and that bordered her so much. While deep down she was looking forward to seeing his parents again after a long time, she felt bad for leaving them to drive all alone. As a best friend she felt bad for leaving the only family he left behind to grief over his disappearance all alone. “Mrs Carlson?” Rick Sandals slightly hits the table making Cassandra jolt almost falling off her chair. “You've been spaced out for days now... What is eating you up? It is the money to be paid by Mr Roberts?” Rick asks carefully placing a set of documents needing her signature on the table for final review. “Rick, I am okay. And about the money I got word from
Cassandra walks out of the bedroom to join the others in the home study. Brandon sat alongside Carlon while Alex stood over another. Cassandra walks in and everyone in the room suddenly stops what they were doing just staring at her as she walks over to her man. “What is the progress?” she asks as Carlson pulls her to sit on his legs. “Barron Langs, has some reports to make and we have been waiting on you” Carlson reports as his right hand plays with a man and the left rests so comfortably on Cassandra's legs. “Greetings Mrs Carlson it is a pleasure to finally meet you,” Barron Langs says, extending his hand for a handshake which Casandra takes. “So what's the latest update?” Cassandra asks to read through the file sitting before Carlson. “The victim has been dead for quite some time and we can only get permission to dig up the grave from the government, but to worry for the don has taken care of that. However the greatest fear is it may not be him, kelly Langs is a familiar name, b
“Even amongst thieves there is honor” Edward snaps at Robert as he hands him the bag full of cash. “Well not when we can take a bullet for another '' Robert Replies with a smirk as she walks away. Edward could only watch as his best friend drove away leaving him stranded before the bank like some beggar. We both know why we still hang out. Edward quickly took a hail cap and headed home. He was not in the mood for more bad news but the private investigators and all his connections just kept giving him the same answers. `Sir the house of Miss Logan was searched and it appeared she picked up some items of hers, however, nothing from the camera shows her walking in or out of her building complex '' Edward listened carefully as the investigator reported. “Have you used the other line to hack through every security Camera?” Edward asked, pissed. He did not want to yell but his voice would not just come out calm as he hoped. “We have done so Mr Edwards, but it appears someone came ahead o
“Is she awake?'' Cassandra asks the guard looking after Kelly. “Yes Mrs Carlson '' he replies, opening the cell for her. Cassandra walks into Kelly who looks nothing of her previous self. “Wow, I see you have mourned the death of your friend, so now to what do I owe this august visit?'' Kelly asked. She was long tired of crying and paying attention to the sores scattered all over her body. It's been only a few days and she looked like a ghost of herself, so pale her bones could be seen poking their way through her skin. Cassandra does not pay attention to her words. “I am here for some answers,” Cassandra tells her as she takes a seat. She knew with Kelly, it would be a long talk. “So what do you want to know?'' Kelly asked back, dragging her pale body to the wall for more comfort. The chains on her hands and legs did not make matters easy for her as it was gradually cut deep into her skin. Her wrist and ankle each had sores caused by the chains. “If I say everything... Would you t
The day was fast over and Cassandra walked out only to find Kimberly and Robert in a heated conversation. “You said it was for me, now you want to sell it? How dare you Robert?” Kimberly roared at him. Other staff had left and the office was now under the guidance of security. “I know I said that and I meant it, I will buy us another one. Please can I have the keys and the documents to the car, I have to seal it else I may face jail time” Robert pleaded. Cassandra was not interested in their little chat, all she wanted was the missing money refunded within the allotted time given to Robert, and seeing he was already making efforts to do so placed a cute smile on her face. Cassandra stood with Tessa while Alex went ahead to bring the car. Robert and Kimberly were too busy to notice they had guests, as the car zoomed away, Robert turned with a wicked smile. “I certainly won't let you get away with this” he vows before taking the car keys from Kimberly who hands it over to him reluctan
The sun had long given way to the moon when Cassandra and the others gave their home a final touch. Now it looked nothing like its previous self. “Charles once mentioned this mansion did lack the touch of a wife, now I see he was right” Brandon smiles as he takes away the empty boxes with the others outside. Cassandra was so tired from all the work. The services of an interior designer had been hired but she did so little than just give it the final touch. Empty rooms were turned into good guest rooms with every furniture and needs. At the same time, some spare room close to the home office of Carlson was broken down and joined to the office to create more space for himself and Cassandra. “I see privacy is not something within your dictionary” Cassandra laughs as she enters their now-new home office. It was a good design and she loved the idea of having them sit together. “Don't you want to know what I plan on happening here?” Carlson asked, hugging his woman from the back and placi
Unlike other days, today was a stressful one for Cassandra, so much to be done, she walked into the mansion barely a second away from having her heels in her hands. She was taught to walk and seeing the smile on her man's face as he opened his arms to welcome her she wasted no time in getting herself wrapped up by him. She was home early and so was Carlson as the day was a half day for all workers both government and private sectors. “Hello, Mr Carlson” Rick greets with a gentle voice as he walks behind Cassandra. “Hmm” was all Carlson said, carrying the woman in his arms towards the dinner section. “How about we take care of redecorating the mansion tomorrow.?” Cassandra asks with a smile and Carlson nods. “It's a holiday for workers so yes, anything for you.” Rick stood still as his eyes dangerously stared at the couple before him. “Come with me '' Bradon takes Rick by hand, leading him to the home office. While both secretaries had a good chat Carlson and his wife did nothing bu
Cassandra could not sleep all through the night, while there was so much work, she woke early to prepare with Tessa. “Make sure she starves right at the point of death before food is given to her” were her instructions to the guards as she walked out the building. Brandon and Carlson followed right behind them as they board their own car, but now before Carlson kiss his wife goodbye. “ I see you are improving, '' Brandon teases as they get comfortable in the car. “And Charles?” Carlson asks swiftly to change the subject. “Left last night, you know he doesn't stay long unless something keeps him '' Brandon sighs, heating the engine as he drives out. “The contract with the foreign investors is a good one but a single clause is keeping me at bay” brandon tells Carlson as they navigate their way to the office. “How so? I have gone through it and I must say it is good so far, but I am yet to finish” Carlson tells him as he takes the cup of coffee from the receptionist with a simple nod
Cassandra slept all through dinner time, Charles and Brandon had their meal together while Carlson ate with his wife. As they sat down drafting out a few more contracts about the company, Alex suddenly burst in without knocking. “You better have a goddamn good reason for walking in on me in this manner” Carlson says through gritted teeths putting on a robe while Cassandra closed her since she was more properly dressed than her husband who was in nothing but short. “Sorry sir, but she says she will only say who she killed in the presence of you and my lady” Alex says through heavy breaths. Carlson turns to his wife who nods in approval. “Hear, wear this, the snow is still up” Carlson covers cassandra with a fur coat to keep her warm. As they walked to the detention area, Brandon and Charles were already seated and sipping a cup of coffee as if they were watching an entertaining show. “How bad did you ask them to beat her to make her look like a ghost?'' Charles questions staring at
