Take Me Back,Ex-Wife!

Chapter 1 Cassandra’s POV “Here you go,” I said to the last client I will be attending to for the day, I need to finish things quickly. “Really? You mean I can access my account now?” “Yes you can and if there is any other problem arising, you can call our customer care number, no need to take a long bus to the bank,” I said to her with a smile on my face. I love this job so much. “Thank you so much, Mrs. Cassandra, if you were still single, I could have hooked you up with my son, you are the best.” She took her leave and I remained smiling. “Mrs. Cassandra, the most likable staff member in our bank.” Sir Liam said with a smile on his face and the rest joined him. “I am just trying my best sir,” I replied. I checked the time, it was my cue to leave, I already took an excuse from my boss a few days ago to leave early because I needed to surprise my husband tonight. Today marks three years since I have been married to Dylan Williams. I really want to throw him a surprise party for our anniversary. My name is Cassandra Williams, the only child of the family Naofumi, my father is dead and my mom works as a caregiver in the hospital. The marriage between Dylan and I was arranged by his grandma. I feel so lucky to get married to him because I have been in love with him for a very long time. He is the perfect dotting husband and I am certain tonight will mark a new difference in our life as husband and wife, I stopped by the accessories store and I saw all kinds of wristwatches on display. I was confused about which to pick for my husband. Should I go for the Cartier Santos, Breitling Navitimer, or Rolex Daytona? I am so confused because they are all beautiful and will definitely look good on my husband. “Experiencing difficulty in making a choice, ma’am?” A tall light skin lady with a low cut came to me.I guess she must work here judging by the dress she is wearing. It has the company logo on it and the smile on her face makes me feel safe as a customer. “Yes I am, I just don’t know which of them to go with.”I wore a confused look, maybe that's what attracted her to my aid. “If I may ask ma’am, are you getting it for a friend or a lover?” She asked in a polite manner. “Well, I am getting it for my husband, today marks the third year of our marriage anniversary!” I said with full confidence because I am really lucky to be in the life of Dylan Williams. “Oh congratulations ma’am, I am so happy for you and I will suggest you settle for the Rolex watch, he is going to love it.” “Then I will settle for it then,” I replied after scanning the watch again. “Give me some minutes and let me get your watch ready.” I made payment with my credit card and took the watch which was already wrapped into my car that Grandma Filo got for me as my present last year. I drove over to the house and I was ready to start cleaning so I could start making arrangements before he returned from work. He already gave me his word that he will be home early tonight, I know so well he is going to love the surprise. I walked into the kitchen and started making various dishes. I added his favorite meal to the menu as well. Though it was stressful, I really wanted to give it my best. I love my husband so much, and getting worn out for him is not a big deal at all. I heard a knock at the door and rushed to get it, it was Isabella, “Hey, I got your anniversary cake.” She sounded so lively and happy. “You are such a darling best friend, what in the world can I do without you!” I hugged her immediately and she dropped the cake. “I am happy you know.” “There you go again, bragging as always.” “Hum, the aroma, I am hungry already.” She said out loud being so dramatic as always. “Sorry to disappoint you but none of the food is for you, I made them specially for my husband so I guess it’s high time you get a husband as well.” “Oh spare me the sermons, men are scum.” I really don't know why she refuses to give love a chance. “Not all men, you need to give love a try, anyway for your hard work in getting me the cake, I will spare you a meal.” I love Isabella so much, she is my best friend who became a sister to me. If I am not at work, I am always enjoying some outings together with her because my husband is always busy with work so with her around, I won’t get bored. A few moments later, we were already done with the preparation so Isabella had to leave. I really appreciated her help and it was also time for me to get dressed up. I needed to appear beautiful for Dylan tonight. I applied a little touch of makeup on my face and looked in the mirror, I loved the lady I was already becoming. I walked out of the room and sat in the dining room waiting for my husband to return home but it was past 7 pm already and not a word from him. I had to text him immediately asking if he was on his way but I got no response from him. I called him several times and he didn’t return any of the calls. Should I be worried or not? I left the dining room and walked to the living room checking through the window with high expectations that he would drive in very soon with his car. I got so worried that I had to call his secretary at his office and he told me my husband left work very early. I ended the call and was really worried. “Please return my calls or at least respond to my messages.” I texted him again, I kept my phone aside and chewed on my fingers, oh lord please protect my husband. My phone buzzed loudly and I rushed to get it, it turned out to be my husband calling, I picked it up in a hurry and the voice I heard next sent chills to my entire body. It was a woman's voice. “You are his wife right, don’t worry yourself at all, your drunk husband is safe with me, enjoy your lonely night.” She ended the call, my phone fell off my h ands and hot tears left my eyes.
