CHAPTER THREE

*Bound By Lies*

© Parchments and Quills

Cassian puffed out smoke from his mouth. He smirked as he recalled her words.

"Hey Mr. Mafia you should be happy that I am considering agreeing to this marriage"

"She's bold" he muttered and dumped the cigarette on the ashtray.

"Let's hit the club," he said as he turned to Tristan.

"Sure boss," Tristan replied.

He walked out with Tristan trailing behind. They headed to the garage where cars of different models and colors displayed like it's an auto showroom.

He picked the black Lamborghini and was about to open the car door but Tristan beat him to it.

"I'm driving" Cassian said coldly

"But bos..."

"I'm driving and that is that" he said calmly but in a commanding tone.

"Ok boss" Tristan said whilst bowing and headed for the passengers seat. Cassian hopped into the car and brought the engines to life. He quickly zoomed out of the mansion.

THE SANDLER'S MANSION

   Veronica was in her room sitting prettily in front of the mirror while maids attended to her. She kept smiling as she thought about the marriage between Maria and Cassian happening some days from now. The door opened and Mr Dominic stepped in. Quickly, Veronica changed her mood, she kept her head down and pretended like she was sad.

"Leave" she told the maids as she gestured with her hands for them to leave which they did immediately.

"And what's making you so gloomy?" Mr Dominic asked, coming closer.

"Oh I just can't believe that our one and only Maria is getting married to Cassian" she said keeping a long face but inside her she was the happiest. Words can't explain that.

"I know darling but we just have to accept it" he added but deep down inside him, he did it for reasons best known to him. He went closer, grabbed her waist and gave her a neck kiss to comfort her. "Let's go to the hall, Maria's waiting" he whispered. She nodded and they both left.

Maria was already waiting in the hall, chatting with Mandy on her phone before Dominic and Veronica came. She rolled eyes when she saw them.

"Darling we need to talk" Dominic said as they approached her.

"There's no damn thing to talk about!" Maria spat

"Oh and FYI I'm going out with Mandy, I need to chill somewhere" she said and stormed out. Veronica folded her fist to suppress her anger. "She needs to be tamed," she muttered under her breath.

       ***MOONLIT CLUB***

The club is one of the most popular in town. It's always filled 24/7. There are strippers dancing on the poles while men spray them with money. As usual, the place is crowded with people dancing to the rhythm of the music, some getting drunk, some making out shamelessly in corners. Some ladies can be seen walking around nakedly displaying different sizes of b**bs.

   Cassian was seated amongst the crowd, he wasn't really interested in anything happening right now. Just smoking from his weed and watching a slut who's touching herself in front of him. Tristan just stood behind him with his face unfazed. The slut proceeded to romance his chest but Cassian held her hand midair

"Don't" he warned and the girl gulped, his grip on her hand so tight she could feel bones cracking.

"Now leave" he ordered and the girl rushed out. At the same time, Maria arrived with Mandy both cladded in short black skinny gowns which hung to their body and served as second skin. Maria's gown was shorter and stopped in her mid thighs, she wore black thigh high boots and her hair was styled in a bang. Mandy on the other hand was wearing a high heel and she styled her hair in a pony tail.

Both of them were looking hot and gorgeous, especially Maria with her hour glass shape. Guys couldn't stop staring. They sat down at a table directly opposite Cassian's.

"Boss, is that not Maria?" Tristan spoke up and that made Cassian look up. He squinted his brows and frowned when he saw her outfit. He stood up and walked straight to their table, he got there and roughly pulled Maria up. " Argh you maniac, what are you..." she was cut short when she looked to see Cassian's glaring eyes at her.

"What the f**ck are you doing here?" He asked still holding her

"It's none of your business!" Maria said glaring back at him

"Hey dude let her be" Mandy said but that was her only mistake

Cassian hit her neck with his palm and she passed out, falling with a loud thud on the floor which caused everyone in the club to turn in their direction.

"Mandyyy!!" Maria screamed

"How dare you? Why? You heartless freak! I f*cking hate you" she screamed but Cassian chuckled

"What were you expecting? Prince Charming?" He smirked.

"You belong to me, get that into your stupid skull" he said, having a full look at her outfit.

"I'll never belong to a monster li..."

Her words were cut shut when Cassian's lips came down crashing on hers. He kissed her roughly and devoured her lips causing people to gasp.

He claimed her like his possession which she is and she let out a tiny moan.
