Connor was walking to and fro in his room, seeing the legal notice kept on the table.

He knew this day would come… but this soon, he hadn't assumed that!

He didn't know what he was supposed to do now.

He remembered how Nina had given him one task, and he had failed miserably in fulfilling that task, too.

But it wasn't his fault after all, he had to deliver the package within twenty minutes; and that too, on a third class bike. On top of that, the traffic of this city had been going crazy day by day.

Even before they set out, he had realized that he wasn't going to make it on time, but he had tried regardless… and when he finally reached there, he found out that he was extremely late.

Not only had Nina refused to pay him, but he had also been humiliated by the person he was supposed to deliver the stuff to.

Now, he was slowly starting to realize how tough it might have been for Mark to live his life as a delivery boy.

But this realization was of no use, because no matter what kind of

    Nina was standing behind Anthony, listening clearly to every word.Wearing a deep maroon bodycon dress, she lounged in the back, holding a glass goblet with red wine in it.The outfit hugged her curves perfectly, and the deep v- neckline left very little to the imagination.The dress ended just above her knees, revealing her tantalizingly long legs.All in all, she looked like a complete vision, but the only man who had access to her had his entire attention focused on a phone call.But as soon as he disconnected the call, Anthony turned around and his gaze fell on her.Maintaining a slightly indifferent expression, she asked;"So, you're not going to help Connor out?""Darling, aren't you taking a little too much interest in business matters?"Nina coyly answered, blinking her eyelashes;"No, I was just asking because I think that poor soul could really benefit from our help, and he is also desperate enough to go to any lengths for it.""And I think I have told you already, that I ha

    "Not okay? Why? What happened to you?"Mark asked in panic once again as he stepped towards Cassie, holding her by her shoulders. He proceeded to examine her thoroughly from head to toe, keeping her absolutely still. Meanwhile, his hands were gripping the sides of her waist gently, as if he was examining the wings of a butterfly, while at the same time with so much intensity in his eyes as if she might flutter away at any moment. Cassie was too stunned to react, let alone say anything to him or even move, but this was when Violet laughed out loud, saying;"Of course, you idiot! How do you think that a woman can be okay, if her husband suddenly storms into their own house like an enraged bull, and starts assaulting the person who has just saved her?Don't you think she might be considering dying out of shame-""Violet!"Mark raised his voice to shut Violet out, and tried to ask once again."Cass! Honey, you sure you okay? Mariella didn't hurt you by any means -""Yes! I am absolutely

    Earlier, Mark had decided to reveal everything to Cassie after making sure that she was in the state to understand everything without going into deep shock. At that moment, he saw the condition that was going on and he couldn't hold it anymore.But after he broke the news he thought Cassie would be the one who will be in great shock, but it was Violet whose voice was the loudest as she screamed;"What !?" Mark turned towards Violet, but before he could have asked her what happened, he noticed that Cassie's legs were shaking.And before anyone could understand what happened, she almost fainted in Mark's arms.Violet quickly rushed towards the nearest table where a jar of water was placed and rushed back while grabbing the jar in her hands.Sprinkling the water on Cassie's face, she screamed;"George, please call both the ambulance and the police. I can't tolerate the presence of this lady in this house anymore, and can't see my sister in law in this condition either.""Cass, Cass !

    "Tell me! Tell me!! What have I ever done to you, when have I ever wronged you? Everytime… every single time, whenever I felt like I have been treated unfairly by you, or wrongly accused by Andrew or Moira, I have always thought that it's just in my head. I stopped myself from thinking that you can be wrong, assuring myself that it can't be true, because… because you are my grandmother…!"Cassie gasped in order to regulate her breathing, even as tears flowed freely down her face, and continued without missing a beat;"A grandmother who loves me so much… loves me so much, just like she loves Andrew and Moira… but no, I was just so wrong.So wrong! Because you have never loved me in the first place. Let's also leave the word 'love' out of here for context, because you never loved me in the first place. I should have understood this the moment I came to know about Moira's conspiracies about me, and seeing that you were still taking her side.But again, as I said that I am also ready to

    Mariella laughed out loud as she completed her statement, admitting to her own filthy crime of killing her son and daughter in- law. Her maniacal. Laughter made a shudder run through the spine of everyone else present in the room, as they were not able to digest the fact that someone could be this cruel too."You are sick!"Mark spoke, as he tried to hold Cassie as tightly as he could. So far, as the story was progressing with each of Mariella's words, Cassie was growing weaker and weaker.She really had gone through many things, losing her parents at a very young age, being cheated by her own family, and the person whom she loved the most and had bet everything on, had also hidden his identity from her for so long.Mark knew that he was also a culprit who had committed a grave offense, but he was also aware of the fact that his offense could never jump to the level of felony Mariella has committed.This was when Cassie spoke up;"Really? Are you even hearing what you are saying… you

    "Proof…! And you? You can't have any proof! There isn't any… you can't have any proof, because there isn't any proof against me."Mariella lashed out once again, revealing her evil smirk. With time, as her smile faded, the fear became completely evident on her face; as there were not just shades of deep gray that were lurking on her forehead.Rather, the signs of her getting panicked with every passing second were also marking their presence on her face.Till this point, she had been speaking everything freely and narrating the entire story with this confidence, because she knew that there was nothing that could prove the felony committed by her in the past.So, what was the harm in telling them the truth and letting some weight off her chest? This is why, even if she would tell all the truth to Cassie, even then, there was nothing that could go wrong for her.After all, the court would not accept their statement without any evidence or unless she repeated this very same story in fr

    Mark smiled after looking at Cassie, as he really was not ready for this reply from her side. But now that he had really got the green flag from her, all he had to do was to go and make the required arrangements and announce the changes.This was when Cassie spoke again;"Mark, do you mind if I join you there? I want to support you …but if you don't want me to do that, then also I can understand everything -""Shut up! What are you thinking silly! Just get ready, as we might have to hurry."Mark interrupted her and she smiled while adding. "Just give me five minutes." After a total of ten minutes, they were on their way to the company's headquarters. The afternoon sunlight was touching the city at its peak, when Mark held Cassie's hand in his own. It took almost a total of fifteen minutes of driving for them to reach the office for both of them and as they stepped into the hushed corridors, preparing to confront those who had orchestrated this grand deception.The atmosphere in t

    Cynthia's words made Robert little calm, as he asked;"What do you mean by you are joining us again…I mean where have you been …like you just disappear out of nowhere-""Ohh that, actually I got an offer from a really company in my hometown, so I had already moved there, it's just that I got a notice to submit all the reports of my past quarters on an urgent basis, so I have to return.In any case I am not here for so long-""Oh, that's so nice to hear."Sylvia jumped in the conversation as she was finally able to get the sigh of relief, but then only she realized that he statement might have sounded little wrong and she quickly mended it;"It's nice to hear that you are here today, after all you didn't even give us a chance to say farewell and bid goodbye.""It's okay Sylvia, probably you will get that chance today.. but right now we should leave for conference room or else we are going to be late.""Yes, you are right."Robert spoke as she took two steps forward in confidence that n

    As soon as Romera announced this, the illusion of serenity Matthew and Maxwell had carefully maintained, shattered within seconds. Suddenly, the air thickened with a sense of urgency as the so- called experienced and level headed, patriarchs, who had initially dismissed the commotion as typical chaos, were now confronted with the reality that the moment they had anticipated had arrived.Matthew's composed expression faltered as he stepped forward. "Hospital? Right now?" He exclaimed, his voice betraying a hint of anxiety.Maxwell, echoing his son's newfound apprehension, quickly abandoned the cloak of nonchalance. "Well, what are you waiting for! Marcus, hurry up! Just get the car ready. We can't keep her waiting, Cassie is in labor!"In the blink of an eye, they found themselves swept up in the same sense of urgency that had gripped Mark, Alex, and Violet moments earlier."Someone!

    While Alex was teasing her relentlessly Mark declared, "Don't pay attention to him, Vi! Currently, you are my favorite because you are actually getting on the plan of finding a boyfriend, unlike your brother! He keeps ignoring my advice to find someone…"In response, Violet stuck out her tongue at Alex, who asked;"Are you seriously talking about getting her married? When she is still five?"Before Violet could reply, there was a knock on the door as a staff member entered."Young Masters, Young Miss, everyone is waiting for you downstairs.""Oh yes! I forgot to tell you that Cassie is already downstairs, so you are missing out on the photoshoot!"Half an hour later, the photoshoot had been wrapped up, and everyone was sitting at the dinner table, which was alive with laughter and chit chat.Mark had checked in with Cassie many times that night, to ask if she was tired and needed rest, but she had declined every single time, saying that she was having too much fun.

    Violet happily clapped her hands with delight on getting Cassie's validation, and it seemed like something suddenly clicked in her mind."Oh! I almost forgot! I didn't come inside only to claim my credit, but also because I have to get to to the room to change.""Change? But… haven't we already cut the cake?"Cassie asked in confusion, wondering exactly how big of a party they had planned in just one afternoon.Violet smiled mysteriously,"Well… technically, I'm not supposed to spill…"Cassie gave her a teasing smirk before replying,"Hm… I could just tell the babies that uncle Alex did all the hard work for the nursery…""No no no!" Violet immediately piped up, "I'll tell you everything, just don't give him the credit!"Alex and Mark burst out into laughter, as he remarked;"Very well done, Cass! I think you are finally getting the hang of how to tackle our little brat!"Violet glared at them as she said,"Just come with me and I'll show you the dress I've arranged for you. It's a be

    The moment Cassie, Mark, and Romera entered the Rover Mansion, they were greeted by an enthusiastic group consisting of Violet, Alex, Matthew, Maxwell, and Alex's parents, Evelyn and Noah. "Surprise!" Smiles and excitement lit up their faces as they announced, and Cassie couldn't help but wonder about the unexpected welcome.Violet, with her trademark mischievous grin, stepped forward and said, "Well, Cassie, while you were relaxing at the spa, we've been busy planning a small party for you!"Cassie's eyes widened with curiosity and anticipation. She exchanged puzzled glances with Mark, who wore a playful smile, clearly in on the secret. "Party? But didn't we already have a shower?"Alex's mother, Evelyn, stepped forward now."Of course, dear. But with the hospital scare and everything else, we thought, why shouldn't we hold a small get together to celebrate your wonderful pregnancy?"Cassie's eyes were moist as she said,"Really?

    But before Romera could have said something or could have inquired about what was happening in reality, the man who had just arrived there a few minutes ago, recognised her.After spotting someone from the Rover family, it made him feel like he had taken the best decision of his life by arriving there.Because there was no way that he would end up in a spa, just because his wife was having trouble with some delivery boy.Even if she was suspicious of him stealing the phone from Marcus Rover… it was not connecting any dots or making any sense to him for him to rush towards her on one call for no benefit for his own self.However, it seemed like his lucky stars had showered their blessings on him today! Because after seeing Lady Romera Rover there, he quickly jumped to the conclusion that his wife had been speaking the truth all this time, and the man standing a few meters away from him, with his back on his side was indeed the thief who had taken the opportunity to steal the phone fro

    Ch -192 : Offense

    Natalie recoiled in horror after seeing that she was not able to hit Cassie, and that Mark had dared to hold her hand with his dirty hands which he used to clean the dirty plates of people after they finished eating… She felt disgusted and humiliated at the same time. The flame of anger started to boil her blood, as there was no way she was going to lose this low class poor peasant, not in her entire lifetime! She could not just take it simply, thinking that, she jerked her hand out of his grip and raised it again, to hit Mark this time.But before she could have done that, Mark anticipated her move and grabbed her hand just as it came close to his face. This time, she became even more frantic. The humiliation was killing her from the inside, it was the first time someone as low as a waiter had the audacity to disrespect her repeatedly, and without even a hint of remorse. The people who had to do lowly jobs like this were nothing more than the worms of gutter in her eyes, whom she

Because trust me, I will not shut up about the wrong act you two are doing.I will not sit back and turn a blind eye to it, and I will not rest until I have brought you to justice. Now, tell me what are you gonna do about it?"Natalie retorted like a wounded snake, who had tried its best to show that it was there as a true friend. But when people had not accepted its lies and had started to protect themselves, then it had started to react by hissing and threatening to bite. She knew that at the point where she was standing, everybody there worshiped money. And right now she was the one who had plenty of it, but then also, she was the one who had been humiliated by the person whom she wouldn't even consider worthy of keeping as a house help.This was why her voice was more harsh and piercing shrill, making them realize how a person from low class society should live, and how they were being treated by the people

    Ch - 190 : Low class

    While Natalie was screaming like a banshee at the top of her lungs, her husband was listening very carefully to everything that was going on at the other side of the call.At first, he had just told her that he was willing to do whatever she wanted him to do– from introducing her friend to the single people in his circles, to getting the person a job and a good tip if he knelt down and apologized to his wife for whatever he had done to offend her.But the moment he heard his wife talking about the most expensive phone in the world, he knew right away that it was the same phone his wife had been asking him to buy and he wasn't even able to get a slot in the guest list.He knew that only a limited number of those phones had been sold, and this model was under the ownership of only three people in the whole world. So if the doubt in his wife's mind was true, then there was a high chance that he could really get the opportunity to meet the Rover family in person.Till now, he had just se

    The words that echoed from the phone speaker made everyone turn their head towards Natalie. She was getting happier and happier with each passing minute, and the pride on her face was clear.Till this point, she was just saying everything boldly without having any assurance to back up her claims.Whether everything she had said was going to come true in reality or not… this was a doubt in her own mind.But she didn't want to show it in front of them, as all she wanted from Mark was an apology for the humiliation he had caused.However, her husband's words had made her more confident, and she knew that now she would be able to do anything she wanted because her husband was going to support her.So before anyone could have got any chance to reply to the person over the call, she spoke up. "Aww! Cassie ! Look, this is how a real man should act and how they act in real life! This is my darling husband on the call, and look how he is ready to do anything and bring me everything that I wi
