92. I'm scared

“Thank you, it’s been such a long time, I almost forgot how they taste.”The corners of her lips lifted into a smile as she regarded Cassian’s words.“I’m glad you love them.” She bit on some, looking back at him briefly. “I guess I’ll have to teach Clara and Marina how to make these snacks so you get to eat them more often.” Then she rolled her eyes. “Though Clara claims to be an international chef, I wonder why she can’t make these.”“That woman claims to be everything she’s not,” Cassian added dryly.Marina laughed. “I agree with you.” The pain hit again, but it was mild this time. didn’t stay for long before it dissolved. “What else would you like me to make for you?”“Nothing else, Marina. I won’t have you stressing yourself to make food for me when I have staff for that.”Knowing there was no point in arguing with him, she agreed with a shrug. “You don’t strike me as someone who likes late-night snacking.”“I don’t,” he said, wiping crumbs off his lips. “But what do I do when my

93. The tragedy

“We gave her the best treatments. The best team worked with her throughout the process of this pregnancy, but it’s so unfortunate that even with the best medical attention, some pregnancies can’t continue. She delivered the baby, but it's a stillbirth."Cassian felt life had been drained out of him at the news. "A stillbirth? What happened? Where did we go wrong?” His voice was low. He was almost too weak to utter a word.“It’s not your fault, nor is it hers.” Doctor Brenda sighed, her eyes carrying that pitiful look Cassian loathed so much. “Right now, all we can do is monitor her closely to ensure there isn’t excessive bleeding or infection, and we’ll manage her pain.”Her pain? He scoffed. The last words replayed in his mind. Why did she have to go through pain when all she did was try to give life to another life? Just like, they lost their baby.A sharp pain crossed through his at the thought. He never meant for it to turn out this way. He blamed himself for letting her make him s

94. My baby

“How is our baby, Cassian?” Marina asked, her lips forming a small curve. She rubbed her hands over her belly, trying to remember how the labor had gone. There was no baby’s cry, but she delivered. She knew she did before she passed out. She glanced at Cassian, who stood before her with sad eyes. “I was wondering why she didn’t cry. Babies are meant to cry on their first day on Earth, aren’t they?”His insides pierced. Sharp, stabbing pains hit him, but he remained composed on the outside. He needed to be strong for them.“Marina,” he lowered his hand to touch her, but she flinched, shaking her head.Tears had quickly welled up in her eyes. He was certain she already knew what was happening, but was still living in denial. She was still running away from confronting the truth.“Before passing out,” her breath was coming out unevenly, scaring him. “I overheard the doctor talking about a dead baby. A woman lost her baby.” She placed her hands on her tummy again. It was still swollen, bu

95. Forgive your mother

ONE WEEK LATERCassian was still reeling in disbelief. It was hard to accept that they lost the baby after all the careful measures that were put in place.He wasn’t a real son of the Vale, but he had worked so hard to get the empire to where it was today, and he had thought for once in his life, he’d have what belonged to him.But fate had other ways of playing its course, always failing him and letting him know that he might never truly get what he wanted out of life. He lost his child, lost his position, and now, the man he cared about was gradually slipping out of his hands.Resting his head against the steering wheel, he thought of the call he had just had with the lawyer. He had paid his condolences, calling for an urgent meeting immediately after. Cassian knew what the meeting would be about, but he hoped there would be other conditions that would favor him.Considering how much he was cherished by the Vale Couple, they must have prepared other conditions if he didn’t meet the

96. I'm leaving

“This is the only condition the chairman left before his demise.” Mr. Roland said in a concluding tone. “Perhaps we would have been able to cover this secret and find an alternative if the press had not been so nosy. The news got out too fast, and there is no way to hide it anymore.”Daniel and Cassian shared a knowing glance. The older man looked at him as if it were his fault. The lawyer had been saying a lot of things since they got into his office, but Cassian barely heard anything. All he had on his mind was Marina. He had left her at home, still in that gloomy state.“They are always around me. I had no idea they were hiding in my house. I instructed my security team to deal with the unnecessary paparazzi. Guess they failed at that, too.” Cassian muttered, avoiding the men’s heavy gazes on him.“Must it be within this year?” Daniel asked, ignoring Cassian. “We all know he tried to produce an heir, but it failed. This is no one’s fault. He possibly wouldn’t have gotten multiple w

97. Live Again

CHAPTER NINETY- SEVENThe warm sun struck her face the moment she stepped out of the car. Marina had almost forgotten what it felt like to be outside once again. After a month of isolation, Roselyn had to coerce her into stepping out of the house to see what the world looked like and give her the latest developments about Servalia, the ones she’d missed out on over the weeks she’d been away.“Too bright.” She brought a hand above her forehead to shield her face from the brightness of the sun. “It’s too bright out here,” she whined, glaring at her friend.“What do you mean?” Roselyn asked, clicking her teeth. She grabbed Marina’s hand and led the way into the farmhouse. “This is the normal temperature of the sun in Morvane. You think it’s too bright because you’ve been inside for a long time. Cassian shouldn’t have let you.” She whispered.“I needed to stay back and reflect.” She told her friend as they walked the gravel driveway.Roselyn had purposely stopped the car so they could ha

98. Loser

ONE WEEK LATER“You look like a mess, Cassian.” Lily dropped her purse as she sat on the couch next to Cassian. “Have you decided to kill yourself because of a woman?” She asked, staring closely at him.His hair looked like it had lacked a good touch in days. His unbuttoned shirt was almost falling off his shoulders. As Lily took him in, she was devastated. He looked nothing like his usual self.“Cassian,” she moved closer, catching a strong whiff of alcohol oozing from him. “When did you become like this?”His eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a humorless smile. “Lily, when did you get here?” He swayed his head. “She left me. I came back home to meet a goodbye letter. The only thing I’ve desperately wanted in my life has left me, and you ask why I am like this?”“And have you reached out to her?” Lily wasn’t pleased with the state she met Cassian.He wasn’t the type to drink himself to a stupor. In fact, Cassian barely drank. Marina’s disappearance had taken a great toll on him. W

99. Stay away from her

Collin immediately adjusted his jacket, putting on a composed smile as he glimpsed Cassian coming towards him. Anger brewed within him at the thought of Cassian coming for Marina, but he managed to contain it. He needed to act like he had the upper hand here.Cassian walked past him, but he chuckled, making him stop in his tracks.“You came here to see her, but for what reason?” He whirled around to face Cassian.Cassian wanted to ignore, but he was greatly irritated by the sight of Collin. He couldn’t stand this man. “Who let you into her space?”“I should ask you that, because clearly, she did.”The people he paid to monitor Marina had informed him that Cassian hadn’t shown up since she moved into the house, which was another reason he had decided to come sooner.“And from the conversation I had with her, I don’t think you’re wanted anymore. The deal is over. Why are you still chasing my woman?”“Your woman?” A dry chuckle left Cassian as he curled his fists, tempted to smash them o

100. Stay with me

Cassian couldn’t get a clear view of the woman before him. No matter how hard he tried, it was too blurry, too blurry. He took a step closer, moved closer until he was directly in front of her, but he still couldn’t see her, and that was when it hit him,His eyes were heavy with unshed tears, keeping him from seeing clearly.On his way to the healthcare center, Adam’s words had been playing all over and over again, linking to Collin’s words when he visited Marina. They all reminded him that he had lost everything.The woman he loved. The empire he had spent years pouring into. His baby, and now, he was left with nothing but a dying mother, who would never recognize him.He felt miserable from within. The pain had become unbearable. He couldn’t hold it in anymore. He needed to pour out his heart. Even though he hated his mother so much now, she seemed to be the only one who could listen to him.“It started with you, Mother. It started with you. If you hadn’t neglected me, I wouldn’t be

101. We're in this together

The ride back home was filled with tension neither of them could contain. The kiss intensified the moment they arrived at Cassian’s house.Not caring about anyone’s presence, Cassian pressed her back against the wall in the hallway, chest heaving as he locked his eyes on hers.He let go of her for a moment. “Marina,” he rasped, his voice rough from days of exhaustion and suppressed need.“Cassian,” she responded to his desire by grabbing his shirt, crashing her mouth on his again.Cassian’s hands gripped her waist, lifting her effortlessly as he steadied her against the wall. She felt the cold air hit her back, causing her to gasp.Thoughts of the baby took over her mind as she pulled his shirt over his head in a rough motion. She raked her nails down his back when he tightened his grip around her thighs, pulling her closer to his warm body. He hiked her dress up, eyes back on her.“Cassian,” she muttered, wrapping her hands around him. Her thumbs swirled over his head, and he let out
