Chapter 270: Bittersweet Revenge

"Thanks for coming." She opened the door wide for him, missing the only person she loved in this world. "I miss you."

After their last fight, she knew it would be hard to convince him to see her again. But she had to try because losing him was not something she could accept.

"Cut to the chase, Cassie." He said, still standing outside her door, not taking the next step of entering her apartment. "I'm not here to make idle talks.."

He was serious about their last conversation. If Cassie did not stop with her revenge plans, he was through with her. He could not keep on playing as her puppet in her game.

He was starting to like the people that she wanted to hurt. He could not afford to be part of her revenge game. He knew that they did not deserve it. He realized that Cassie's assumption might be baseless.

"What do I need to do to get you back?" Cassie pleaded with him as she hugged him by the door. She knew she had to convince him not to leave her before it was too late for them.

"You already heard my condition. Leave with me and forget all about this life and your past. Let us start a family. Then, you will have all of me." He held her by her shoulders, pushing her away from him.

He loved her, but he would not keep helping her destroy her life by encouraging her with this insanity. Nick might have abetted this delusion, but he wanted to put a stop to it.

She remained silent as she thought of his condition. Since he left, she had been debating with what he wanted and her plans. Which did she want more?

She contemplated if she could live with herself, knowing that her vengeance was almost at her reach, and she walked away or losing him. But how could she measure when it was what she equally wished for her entire life.

"I guess that answered my question." He uttered in defeat, letting his hands dropped to his side. He gave her a last look and turned around.

"Please, give me one more night, just tonight. Then, I will run away with you. I will go with you wherever you desire to go." She shouted, running after him, stopping him from moving further away.

"Please, let us go inside. Let us talk about this. Give me one more chance." She rapidly pleaded with him, hoping that he would listen.

She held his hand. When he did not push her away, she slowly pulled him back to her apartment. She was thankful that she got through to him.

Once inside, he went straight to the couch without saying a word. He had nothing else to say, but Cassie did. So, he was waiting for her explanation. If he did not like what comes out of her mouth, then he was out of there.

"Ok, I heard what you want. I wish with all my heart to be with you forever. To live in a white picket fence with our future kids." She started pacing the floor in front of him.

She knew she had to choose her words wisely, or she was doomed to lose him forever. She looked at him, and he was dead serious about what he said.

"I know if I don't try this one last time to take down Ethan, then I will regret it all my life. I will never be happy with you if I cowardly run away from my fight." She continued.

Cassie could only make sense to herself, but she doubted he understood what she was going through. After this last night, she still failed with her plans, then at least, she knew that she had tried.

"So after tonight, whatever the outcome, by morning, you will willingly pack your things and moved away from here. We can start our family." He remained impassive, still skeptical with her promises.

But a portion of his heart beat faster, wanting to believe that what she was telling was true. It was giving him hope that they could still have a future together.

"Yes." She knelt in front of him, lowered her head on his lap. "Just give me this night, and then I am all yours." She uttered with her voice, begging for his reconsideration.

She felt his hands moved on the top of her head. Then, she felt his fingers ran down her hair until his hands settled on her shoulders. Slowly, he pulled her on her until she was staring again at his beautiful eyes. 

"I hope you are telling the truth because once I learned that it is all a lie. Then, nothing you said will ever matter to me. I will forget that you ever been a part of my life." He promised in return. 

He wanted to give her one more benefit of the doubt that she would honor her promise. That after tonight, she would be through with her past. They would start with their future together.

"I promise." She knew that she finally convinced him. Now, all she had to do was set her plans in action and hoped everything worked out the way she planned it.

She moved on top of him, happy that they were back together. She pushed her body against him until no more space separated them. Capturing his lips, she did what she did best. Make her man happy.

"I love you so much." He uttered in desperation.

He returned her kisses with equal passion, missing her in his arms too. All he wanted was her, to be with her and build a family. Was that too much to ask?

"I love you too," Cassie responded with the same desperation and intensity. "But I need to get to the ball." She slowly pulled away from him. 

She stared into his eyes, and she could see the questions that clouded them. She could see the fear in his eyes that she might not follow through with their agreement.

"I guess I should be leaving too." He reluctantly muttered to her, knowing that it might be the last time he would be holding her in his arms.

If things did not work out for her tonight, finding herself failing on what she had to do. Would she truly walked out from her long-time obsession and be content with the life he planned to give her?

He was not too sure about that. But he was still going to give Cassie a chance to prove to him that he was more than enough for her. That after tonight, she could walk away with him, ready to build a family with him.

"I'll see you tomorrow." She wanted to hope that by tomorrow, things would be different.

She stood up from her position and waited for him to follow her. Then, once again, she tiptoed to him until she reached his lips, kissing him. A kiss, she wished he would remember.

She still felt that love would not be enough. Not until she found the peace that her heart and mind craved for all this time. The only solution she could think of would be in the success of her bittersweet revenge.
