Seeing the determination in her eyes, Lionel was convinced that Cassandra had indeed changed. She was a different woman than before.
She was now calmer, more sensible and tactful.
"You have changed so much, Cassandra,"
Lionel muttered, looking at her in blank amazement.
"People change. That's natural. I wish you'd catch up and mature as well,"
Cassandra said, putting much weight on her words. Lionel's unwillingness to give her up tired her out.
"Cassandra, I love you, I really do. Ivy plotted against you and put you in a bad light. I thought you pushed her downstairs. Had I known the truth, I would not have made the impulsive decision to divorce you,"
Lionel explained. Cassandra, though, did not care for the past anymore. Going back to it did not interest her.
"It's all over, Lionel. It's time to forget the past and look forward. Now, you have a heavy burden upon you. You should consider my suggestion,"
Cassandra said with finality and then turned to leave. The coffee on the table was still steaming hot when they arrived. And by the time Cassandra left, it was warm and untouched.
Lionel thought about Cassandra's words carefully as he watched the coffee turn cold, little by little.
What he did not realize was that someone was watching him. He followed him in the dark and secretly took pictures of him and Cassandra using his mobile phone.
It was a sick habit of the people in this city. They liked to spread gossip about each other. Deception and fraud were part of their culture and no one really knew when the light would come.
Ivy squinted at the video and pictures Joel sent her as a sinister smile curled at the corners of her mouth.
"So Lionel is still unwilling to give up Cassandra?"
Ivy smiled disdainfully. She could not believe that he actually indulged himself with the fantasy that Cassandra would come back and marry him again.
"I think so. My friend followed him all the way but Cassandra refused him,"
Leo said as he looked at Cassandra's image lustfully. Greed filled his eyes as he looked at her with desire.
Cassandra's stunning face made Joel swallow.
"Can you get more of the drugs you used before?"
Ivy asked suddenly, confusing him.
