CASSIUS POV.
I was mad.
Not because of anything, but because Adeline or whatever she’s called messed things up.
She fucking ruined my carefully laid plan.
I had plans on telling Alessia about my marriage with Adeline, and how I would prevent any woman from getting married to me, other than her.
At this rate, I was ready to admit that I was obsessive over Alessia.
Love? What I have for that Bunny was way more than love.
Love can’t describe even one tenth of what I feel for her.
But now, she was mad. She hung up and refused call back for explaining.
The Alessia that I know would set at nothing to know the truth, and I had expected her call, but she never called back.
” Why did you pick the call?” I hissed in anger, glaring daggers at Adeline who gulped and took a step back.
” You weren’t in sight and your phone kept ringing nonstop, so I had to pick it up.” Adeline replied, stuttering as she spoke.
I thought she would have known me by now, I thought she would have done her research about what kind of man I was.
But guess what? She have not even the slightest idea of how dangerous I can be.
” Really? And you told her that you’re my wife-to-be, isn’t it? What right do you have to proclaim yourself as my wife-to-be?”
” I have every right, we are engaged already, remember?” She flaunt her diamond ring in front of me, and a dark smirk appeared on my lips.
Was she fucking with me?
” Oh, my father gave you that? I guess he is the one interested in getting married to you.”
” What do you mean?”
” I believe you’re not so dumb to think I will get married to you just because I was told so.”
” So what do you plan on doing? Calling the engagement off?” Adeline asked, her eyes searing into mine.
It was easy to read through her and everyone else.
” Calling off the engagement is old fashioned, you don’t know what’s trending?” I grimaced, cocking my head to the side in a taunting way.
” Can you just tell me and stop taunting me!” Adeline stomped her feet to the floor in annoyance.
I might as well be given an award for the best push-button ever.
I can drive everyone and anyone to the edge, until they are left with one option, which will be in my favour.
And that option Adeline was left with, happened to be in my favour.
” Let’s both decline the wedding. As you know, the lady who called, is my woman and I can’t trade her for the world.” I started, and I felt her fist tightened, almost turning white.
” So?”
” I can’t break her heart by getting married to you, so you should also tell Magdalene that you’re not interested.”
There was a few seconds of silence before she burst out laughing.
I felt the need to wipe that smile off her lips, but I held back.
That wasn’t the right time to be a coward.
” You expect me to comply with you just because you’re in love with another woman?” She chuckled, and it took the last strength in me not to take a few steps closer and grab her throat. ” I can’t give this marriage up. My mother would kill me, so your so-called lover can fuck off!”
I was triggered my her latter words.
” Say that again!” My voice was as cold and sharp as the edge of a sword. ” I dare you to repeat your last words.”
She turned mute all of a sudden.
I took slow steps towards her, while she took hers backwards, her eyes flicking with fear and nervousness.
” I have many things against you, once Magdalene sees it, she would be utterly disappointed in you and will also kill your body guard.” A downright terrifying smirk curled on my lips.
” What…. wh…. what do you mean?” Her voice failed her when she needed it the most. It trailed off, confirming my suspicions.
I had told Dragon to find whatever is findable against Adeline, to ruin this fucked up engagement.
And surely, he was able to find something interesting.
Adeline fucked her bodyguard in a clubhouse, and everyone since then, he developed feelings for her, but she didn’t like him back.
Such issue, was enough to severe our ties with Magdalene and her daughter, Adeline.
But I needed her to break the engagement without my intervention, but since she was proving stubborn, I was left with no option.
I attack my prey when they are not at alert.
” Stop playing dumb, will you?” I asked, trailing my fingers against her curly brown hair, and her breath hitched.
” I…don’t…. understand what you mean..” She was trying to play dumb, to outsmart me, but little did she know that I’m a mastermind in every game, so far I’m involved.
” You fucked your bodyguard and bro is already in love with you. Are you going to deny that? How does your bodyguard taste when you fucked him? Huh?”
She began to shake her head. ” No, no, no! That’s not true.”
” Well, it is true, and I will go to Magdalene right now and showed her the video or pictures of how her daughter was being fucked.”
I left her and turned, heading towards the garden where Magdalene was speaking to my father.
” Please, don’t.” She said and I halted on my tract. Nice play, Cassius. ” I will call off the wedding myself, so please don’t show that to my mother. I don’t want her to kill my bodyguard.”
” Oh wow, you’re in love with him?” I turned a little over my shoulder. ” You want to protect at all cost, right? That’s how I also feel.”
” I don’t love him, but I don’t wish for his death either. I was the one who asked for a good fuck. He didn’t do it on purpose.”
” Now, be a good girl, go meet Magdalene and called off this goddamn marriage.”
” Okay, I will now, but you have to come with me and Art gala. We were invited by my mother’s friend. It’s tonight.” She said and I smirked and finally turned fully towards her.
” What makes you think I will come with you?”
” You have to, because only then can I tell mother to call off the wedding. Just accompany just this once.”
” Okay, text me the time and the address.” I said and walked out of the mansion.
All I have to do is go to Alessia and explained everything to her.
I don’t want our relationship to go down the drain.
What I feel for now, I fear that she might be the end of me, sooner or later.
