After bidding goodbye to Cassie and Mark, Alex turned in a completely different direction, but paused after walking a few steps to observe their receding backs.And once they had vanished from his sight completely, he knew what he had to do next.Once he was assured about the fact that they could not see him anymore and wouldn't be returning anytime soon, made his way to the foyer where Cassie's family was standing.It didn't take him more than five minutes to reach, taking long strides; and this time he might seem alone, but he had already asked the guards to accompany him.He had made sure that Connor had been thrown out of the estate already, and now, it was the turn of everyone else who had dared to mistreat his best friend.Because the Old man still had some obligations to follow and some ethics to uphold, which were stopping him from throwing Cassie's family out of the party. But he didn't have any such obligations or ethics! The only ethic and duty he observed was that he was n

She turned with a little bit of fear in her eyes, as the question of why everyone there had been so considerate to her husband had not come to any solid conclusion yet.And the problem was, this considerate behavior was not only limited to him but extended to her as well.Even though she was sure that the people of this place might not judge others by their social status and give them the margin and consideration of being a human… Still, she was noticing Romera's behavior with the other staff and the attention she was bestowing on Mark.All these thoughts were enough to keep her busy for several nights in a row, which had left no space for any kind of small talk! So the moment she felt that touch on her shoulder, the fear of someone trying to grab her attention for another small talk suddenly filled her eyes with blankness as she turned around."Cass! What happened? You don't look good! Do you need something? Are you not feeling well?"Dark lines of concern etched even deeper on Ma

It had been three days since the party, and Cassie was getting used to their normal routine once again.She quickly finished her breakfast smoothie as she rushed for the office, since Jessica was waiting for her in the apartment's corridor. As promised, Mark had already asked Jessica, their neighbor, to accompany her to the office- and even though Cassie had felt slightly upset at the thought of being babied at first, she had gradually come to like it.She understood now that apart from finding a solution to her concerns about being followed, Mark had wanted to nudge her to make new friends in Clovelly, too. Besides making her feel safe, commuting with Jessica gave Cassie the chance to distract herself from the thought that lurked at the edges of Cassie's consciousness, threatening to consume her completely. The thought that she missed Mark.And whenever her thoughts turned in that direction, she couldn't stop herself from overthinking every little thing.Her eyes fell on the diamo

Mariella Holmes had always known that she would eventually go through a phase rebellion, but she had never assumed that Cassie would ever dare to question her in front of the board members.The night she left the party hosted by the Rover family and saw her granddaughter enjoying it, even after her family was thrown out… She had decided to make her taste the humiliation that they had to go through.But her rebellion had shocked her entirely, as she was never aware that this boldness was even present inside Cassie! After all, all she was capable of was working hard and accepting orders, and apart from the matter of marriage, she had never been vocal about anything till date.Even on the day of the gala, she had decided to announce Andrew as the Managing Director. And if not for the Mayor's provocation, she wouldn't have been considered for the position.Hence, Cassie's direct questions were enough to fume the anger inside Lady Holmes' heart, as she snapped back;"Who told you that yo

Mark's revelation was enough to give a high voltage shock to everyone standing there.Especially to three people: Lady Mariella, Andrew and Moira!As the other shareholders were just present there because the Blue Mountains Group had once started as a family business.And that's why, after all these years, they all still had some shares under their name.But the toxicity of Mariella had caused everybody's loyalty to drift away from the business, and they all were just staying for the namesake.And when one of the attorneys announced the offer to buy their shares at asking price, most of them had already started considering it- and some were even imagining how they would spend the imaginary money! But no one really wanted to expose themselves in front of the family, hence they were keeping quiet.But the moment they heard the name of the Rover family being directly included in this deal, suddenly, they were all ready to expose themselves as well.Because by now, they all had heard the
