Chapter 10. With His Family

Cassandra’s POV

“I will let you love me. You are Max’s dad already, and I want you. Please don’t do this to yourself,” I said gently and softly.

“You want me! Do you mean it?” he asked, with eyes shimmering with hope. They took my breath away. Maybe I was being too harsh on him. Maybe he wasn't like the other billionaires.

“Yes, I mean it. Now rest and we will meet again,” I said as I took the glass from his hands and kept it.

I lay him on the bed as he closed his eyes slowly. “Don’t go, darling, I love you,” he slurred as he went to sleep.

I opened his shoes, loosened his shirt, opened his belt, socks, and wristwatch, and covered him with a duvet. I tiptoed out of the room and, closing the door, saw the whole family sitting in the reception room.

“What happened? Has he calmed down?” Tristan asked me, looking worried.

“Yeah, he’s asleep,” I told him.

“Come sit down,” said Mom, gesturing towards the seat beside her. I sat down.
