Cassandra POV This week has been incredibly challenging for me. Ever since Marcus’s fiancée appeared, I haven’t felt like myself. Despite his attempts to explain everything, I can’t shake the feeling of fear that has settled within me. It’s like a wave of envy and anger has taken over. If he had been honest with me from the start and told me about his fiancée, I wouldn’t feel like I was just being used to pass the time. I deserve better than that. “Hold on, was I really used?” I questioned, a smirk forming on my lips. It was time to wake up from my dreams, Cassie; I never truly loved him. So why did it sting to feel him slipping away? I muttered to myself, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. My heart pounded against my chest—why did I feel this way? Was I really in love
