Cassandra’s Pov:
“Cass, get up quickly. It’s almost time to leave. Get ready quickly and come down. I have already sent your luggage to the airport.” Mom says before slamming the door shut.
We are leaving in dad’s private jet anyway whats wrong if we are late?
I groan and sit up, still half asleep.
Darn the vacation. I wish I could just sleep in.
I find a few new messages about my non-existence of a boyfriend the moment I take my phone.
He finally remembered he had a girlfriend, huh?
I snort at the thought and open the message.
My face falls the moment I see the content of the message.
A selfie.
A freaking selfie of him lying in a bed with a girl.
Both naked and smiling without a bit of shame.
I glare at the girl who looks definitely older than us and way more fashionable and beautiful.
I glance at the text and feel my blood boiling.
Matt: Cassie, I know I did wrong, but I didn’t want to lie to you. You know how things have been between us after we started dating. There was no spark and you... were so ordinary I couldn’t bring myself to be with you anymore.
Matt: But I think I just found the perfect girl. I am sorry, Cassie, but I am breaking up with you.
Matt: We can always stay friends if you want.
Bitterness fills my heart, all sleepiness forgotten as I smash my phone against the wall in anger without any hesitation.
Be friends, my foot!!!
~~~
“Hey, I have been calling you nonstop. Why is your phone switched off?” Jasper says, dragging her suitcase and walking towards us.
We arrived at the airport an hour ago and have been waiting in the VIP section for others to arrive.
My face is poker and cold as I look down at my shoes without replying to her. My mood is no worse than a volcano right now. I want to beat someone up so bad.
Specifically, Matt.
“Er... she got dumped again and smashed her phone in anger.” Layla says, answering for me.
Jasper gasps and flops down on the seat beside us. “What? Again? How many times is this?”
“20th,” I reply without any emotion, and Layla winces slightly.
“Darn girl, what do you do to make guys go running away from you? Every time you date someone, it lasts no longer than a week. This one, however, lasted 2 months. Should I take it as your luck is getting better?” Jasper asked as if really debating about it, and I glared at her.
“Getting better my foot! He cheated on me. I am starting to feel like I am cursed at this point!”
“Well, I guess you can take this trip as a break-up vacation.” Layla says, and Jasper nods.
“I agree. Forget about those trashes and focus on enjoying yourself.”
I grumble and get up, walking towards mom and others, not wanting to talk about this anymore.
“Mom? Are Aunt Morgan and others not here yet?” I ask, and she checks the time.
“Oh, they should be here by now- There they are!” She says, looking behind me with a smile.
Great, finally we can go now.
“Sister Cassie!” A small figure hugs my leg from behind, and I don’t even have to guess to know who it is.
“Hello to you too Amanda,” I say, turning around and crouching down to her level, pinching her small cheek. “I thought I would see you here when I arrived.”
Her long black hair is pulled in a high ponytail, and she is wearing an elegant soft pink dress, with a small crown placed on her hair, making her look like a princess.
“Brother made us late. He wasn’t waking up. Dad thought something had happened to him, but he was just sleeping.” She said with an annoyed expression, and I chuckled, seeing her look so cute.
“Sorry, Amber. Kayden hung out with Shaun and Aiden last night and slept late.” Aunt Morgan says apologetically, and Mom shakes her head.
“No worries. Shaun and Cassandra also woke up late. Let's board quickly now since everyone is here. Kids, let’s go.”
We nod, and I reach out to grab my luggage, but a big hand grabs it before me.
“I will take it for you.”
I hear Jasper and Layla gasp behind me.
This voice...
I stop for a second and frown as I slowly look up. My heart skips a beat, and my brain goes completely blank when I see the familiar face in front of me.
“We meet again, little trouble.” He whispers as his green eyes stare into my soul with that arrogant smirk.
K-Kayden?!
What the hell?
