"There's icing on your face, Cassius," I told him but the man just raised a brow. "Let me wipe it off for you." "I will clean it myself." he said as he took the cloth from the counter and cleaned his face. He silently cut the cake and passed a big piece to me and took a piece for himself. He was once again looking very serious, and here I thought that his mood was better now. I took a small piece in the fork and tasted, it was just as i had thought, perfect, "the cake is delicious, Cassius. It is even…-

The bite I had taken struck in my throat. I was neither able to swallow it or disgorge it under his expectant eyes. I took a piece of mango, and nibbled it and with a deep breath i swallowed all., He tilted his head and ate a bite himself and in the next second he coughed and spit it out. I laughed looking at his face. "How much salt do you put in it anyway?" I asked finally, passing him the fruits. "Well, not much.. Just two spoons since I made two omelet" he told me but even though I had no idea how…

"Come, I will cook something for you then." These words were no less surprising to me as Killian had first invited me to have dinner with him. I sat there waiting for him to say in a mocking voice, "did you really think i would do that? Ha, such a fool?" but he did not.. He kept looking at me as if waiting for my acceptance. "Are you going to think till morning?" he asked finally when I did not reply. "Do you even know cooking?'' I could not help but ask.. I have never heard of home cooking in my two…

Was he angry because I said that Damien would have helped me better? My eyes widened as reality endowed me. "Was he feeling jealous of Damien?" I wanted to chuckle at the absurdity of the thought. It was like being jealous of Killian or James. But then he was jealous of them too. Instead of sitting here and assuming it was better that i asked him and clear if there was any confusion. "Cassius, Cassius' 'I called many times but the man did not reply. I sat up properly to call him again but his…

Marianne pov I waited for the whole day looking at the door now and then. I sometimes felt trapped as I have a few business frauds and tea too, yet whenever I decided to attack the Wiltshires, I did not seem enough. If only they would be divided, things may work better. If Isabella lost her reputation and was forced to marry someone else there would be no reason for them to interfere in our lives again, and for that letters could be a good chance. After all, respect and power is the only thing that…

Cassoius pov I looked at the ring in my hand that I had hidden when Marianne suddenly entered the room. I Had planned to give it to her at our anniversary party. In fact, I have planned to propose to her officially. I could feel that she still had some doubt left in her mind. When we come close, there is some restraint from her side and even in the whole day, her behavior usually goes back to normal. As if she wanted to keep herself enclosed in those walls. I had thought that a lot of love and…

Marianne pov contd "Mother, I am sure you would handle this. Your choice is much better than mine." i said as it had been an hour yet we are not able to decide the flowers. Would it really make much difference if there would be one rose or tulip more or less. She narrowed her gaze at me and I sighed, "I was thinking of going to Cassius and helping him in choosing his suit. But I think you are right. I should help you first. After all, you are doing all this for me." I said in a low and disappointing…

Marianne pov contd.. Never.. Never should one appoint friends at higher posts closer to you. Or they would poke you all the time. I rubbed my forehead umpteenth time but the girl was not ready to stay silent. "Tell me, are you still only at kisses, or are things becoming steamier?" she asked, "i mean, did you… shall i expect to be an aunt soon?" she asked with an expectant face, her eyes were fixed on my face, waiting to gain any reaction from it. "You are already an aunt. So stop messing around. And…

Marianne pov Sitting in my office, I heard the both parties talking about how foolish my idea was to train and recruit outlaws. Do they think they could control my will? Tsk tsk.. Have I ever listened to anyone when it comes to making decisions in my life? I would rather suffer losses in future then regret all my life that i had not been able to achieve what i wanted. It would make me blame the circumstances and people around me. I looked back at the file and then back to Roselia and Damien who were…

Cassius pov I knew that she did that intentionally. She could have shared food with me yet she chose to eat with Killian. I could see the mischief in her eyes. I shook my head at the thought that she would be easy to win over. I was sure she was going to make it difficult for me and I deserved that. I looked at the fork that was sting in mid air and sighed. I heard the chuckles from James and worried faces of others but I lied back. Soon the atmosphere turned normal with my laugh and they all started…
