Shadows of the past

Chapter 11 The caller certainly wasn't Aaron. Viktor’s brow furrowed in annoyance as he pressed the phone closer to his ear. “Who is this?”The voice on the other end stammered nervously. “ I-I’m Jimmy, sir, from the agency.”“What agency?” Viktor snapped, his frown deepening. He heard the nervous swallow through the line.“The one Madam Cassandra works with, sir. I-I didn’t mean to interrupt. I was only calling about work.” Wherever Jimmy was calling from, he sounded as though he were shaking with bated breath.“Work?” Viktor repeated, his tone sharp. He rested one hand on his hip and cast Cassandra a sidelong look. She stood nearby, watching him with amusement.Viktor’s scowl darkened. “She just got married, and you’re still bothering her about work? She’s not coming.” His tone was final, leaving no room for argument.Jimmy, however, insisted in a trembling voice, “B-but sir, Madam Cassandra is wanted by many brands. She has to show up for at least one. After her marriage to you,

Death's Document

CHAPTER 12Slap!A still silence followed the loud sound. It was then that Cassandra realized what she had done. Her lips parted “I-I didn't—” she was mixing up her words.Jerome stood there, his whole being reeling from the shock. His cheek stung, a testimony to how much force she put into that one strike. She apologized and slipped away from his grip, disappearing from the dressing room.Alone, his heart shattered, Jerome looked at his reflection in the mirror. He looked eerie, like a psychotic stalker. Of course, she'd choose a powerful and wealthy man over him.But it wasn't fair. And it hurts.A year ago, he was happy. She was happy too. They loved each other so much and had a lot of things planned for their future. But, all of a sudden, she had to marry Viktor for a reason he still couldn't understand.It's not fair. They stole his happily ever after, and now that he had come all this way, Cassandra wanted nothing to do with him.His fists clenched, his jaw set. He wouldn't give

Sleeping Pills

CHAPTER 13The day's work, fruitful and exhausting, had Cassandra almost fooled, tricking her into believing she was back to her old routine. She got home around five in the evening, expecting the quiet halls and familiar silence the Mansion held. Instead, the moment she opened the door, she was met by a busy atmosphere. Decorators were rushing about, ladders were leaned against the walls, and the heavy scent of fresh polish and paint lingered in the air. “What on earth…” she murmured, pausing at the entrance. Her shoulders fell when she realized what it was…..‘Initiation day II’ Was it going to be organized here in the house? At least it wasn't going to be in a creepy underground crypt, she thought with a sigh. She stepped inside, only to be abruptly shoved to the side by someone rushing past.“Hey!” She spun around sharply, locking eyes on the slender figure walking away. It was Melissa, the little drug thief, hurrying somewhere with a scowl on her face.“You…What was that for?”

INITIATION II

CHAPTER 14The matriarch’s gaze swept across the hall, sharp and searching, until it settled back on Cassandra.“Where is our godmother?” she asked again, her tone polite but carrying the weight of expectation.The patriarch hummed thoughtfully beside her. “Yes… she should be the one ushering us in.”“You’re right,” Viktor replied, his expression calm and unreadable. Selina was nowhere to be seen. Cassandra glanced at him for answers, but he merely offered a faint shrug. He was clearly just as clueless as she was.“I’ll go find her,” Cassandra offered quickly, using the excuse as an escape before anyone could press further. At least now she could breathe and stop forcing that fake smile that had begun to ache at the corners of her mouth.The staircase stretched before her, and that’s when she realized she didn’t even know where Selina’s room was. Wonderful.She spotted a maid descending the stairs and stopped her. “Excuse me,” Cassandra called.The young woman halted immediately and g

The Oath

CHAPTER 15Till the last drop, the crowd waited in hushed anticipation. “Turn to me” the patriarch commanded.Without hesitation, Cassandra turned to face him. His imposing figure loomed over her, his presence almost suffocating. His right hand extended toward her, palm open. She blinked, confusion flickering across her face. What was he asking for?He frowned. The unspoken message in his eyes should have been enough to tell her what to do. She wasn't naive. When she still didn’t move, his jaw tightened, his brows twitching. “Place your hand on mine,” he gritted, his tone low and edged with impatience. Cassandra mouthed a small “oh” and hurriedly laid her trembling hand atop his. His skin was warm, steady, the very opposite of her trembling fingers. He placed his other hand over hers, enclosing it as if sealing something between them.“Stop trembling,” he said quietly, and for once, there was no mockery in his voice. “This isn’t like the last.”He told her as if he were trying to

Past midnight

CHAPTER 16 Her smile unwavering, Matilda further explained “I used that dagger during my first heist as a hitman.” Her expression shifted suddenly, softening as though a distant memory had flickered into her mind. Her voice dropped to a quiet murmur. “It was meant for my granddaughter… but she passed away recently.” Cassandra felt something stir inside her. Pity perhaps, but before she could offer a word of comfort, Matilda continued, with a growing smile “You’re my daughter now too,” she said warmly, “so I don’t mind passing it on to you instead.” Even though it was a strange gift, its history even darker, the thought behind it was heartwarming. Cassandra almost caught herself smiling, almost, when Matilda suddenly said “Don't betray us, Cassandra. You'll regret it” The words lingered long after the second initiation and the party had ended. It was around two in the morning when Cassandra found herself lying awake, staring into the darkness, Matilda’s warning replaying in her h

Forbidden Allure

CHAPTER 17 She tilted her head at him, her eyes holding a faint trace of dejection. “You haven’t called me that in a while,” she muttered softly, Dante stared at her, a flicker of amusement playing at the corners of his lips. “...You like it when I call you that…?” Cassandra pursed her lips, nodding slowly. The name had a thrill to it. It felt like an allure of danger, a forbidden title that didn’t belong to her. And yet, she wanted it. She needed to hear it again. Her voice grew smaller. “What does it mean?” The corner of his lips lifted into a knowing smirk. “You’d have to figure that out yourself,” he told her, leaving no space for argument or persuasion. The world around Cassandra’s eyes began to blur; the alcohol was making her drowsy. She couldn’t keep her head up, let alone insist on Dante telling her the meaning. She mumbled almost inaudibly, “Hmm, that’s not fair.” She placed her hand on the countertop and rested her head. In a minute or two, she had succumbed to sleep’

Serpent in silk

CHAPTER 18Turns out, they were. Aside from being one of the most influential families within the Nordau Bloc, the Krügers also owned one of the largest estate development companies in Germany. It served as a facade that covered up their illicit activities. The combo made them an unstoppable force. The sleek black Royce Rolla Missouri rolled to a stop before the towering glass structure of Krüger Enterprises Inc. As Viktor stepped out, his presence alone seemed to command the attention of onlookers. Cassandra followed, her appearance radiating. From the very threshold of the building, heads turned, every gaze watching them as they walked through the front doors. The feared and respected Viktor Krüger, and by his side, the glamorous Cassandra Adler.Inside, the atmosphere shifted. The once bustling lobby quieted down to acknowledge both their presence. The majority of the employees down there were women. They stirred, but it wasn't Viktor's presence that caused the erupting whisper

It's Enough

CHAPTER 19 Olivia's face scrunched up, her breath hitching “Jealousy?” She spat angrily. “You were a nobody until you met Viktor. Now, you're living the good life, aren't you? Flaunting yourself like the two of you are meant to be” Her voice shook, tone laced with envy. “Do you even realize how many years I've been by his side? How much I've done for him?” Her eyes were filled with disbelief, her voice lowering, “He wouldn't even look at me now. All thanks to you.” Her gaze, a burning glare, bore into Cassandra. Unbothered, Cassandra turned slowly, leaning against the sink. She wasn't surprised by the woman's deep resentment. Viktor was a man who excelled at everything; looks, money, influence, power…. And despite his ruthless nature and cold appearance, many women dreamed of one day standing by his side and being called his wife. Cassandra knew she would be hated by a few insane and desperate women for being that ‘lucky woman’ Olivia just happened to be one of them. Insane and d

Sleepover

CHAPTER 20Knock. Knock. Knock.The sharp banging against the door startled Kara out of her late night scroll on social media. Her brows drew together in irritation. “Who the hell is that at this hour!?” she shouted, rising from the couch.“Guess who?” came a familiar voice from outside, deliberately muffled. Cassandra fought hard to contain her smile.Kara froze. No way… It sounded just like Cassandra. But would she really show up here, now? Frowning, Kara snatched her iPad and swiped on the porch camera. Sure enough, there she was, standing on the porch, smiling up at the camera like an overexcited teenager.Kara’s disbelief turned into a wide grin. Tossing the tablet aside, she dashed for the door, nearly tripping over the rug in her excitement.“Babe!” they exclaimed together the moment the door swung open, their faces lighting up.“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Cassandra teased, arching a brow.“What are you, a vampire?” Kara shot back, rolling her eyes as she pulled her ins
