Mummy I got you a new husband

CASSENDRA POV.

” At last.”I murmured as memories of what had happened between me and Karl flashed through my head. I smirked as I went out of the office, i noticed his secretary’s staring eyes welling up with tears. “Was she crying?” I questioned myself hoping she was indeed fine.

As I proceeded down the stairs towards the garage, I reflected on my achievement in getting Karl exactly where I wanted him. Having able to able to achieve what I have always wanted, I couldn’t hide my excitement and how much joy I felt.

“Karl was finally mine.” I muttered as I approached the garage. The events of years ago flooded my mind, I remembered how I had lost Karl to Claire even though we were so much in love.

” I hated her.” I thought to myself as I got into my car. I took out my phone from my purse and sent a text. “Finally, the charade is over.”I said to myself as I drove off. Claire had stolen him away from him and now she left him for another man. Even though Claire and I were friends, she had leaped at the first opportunity to be with Karl, and I loathed her for it, even though I pretended not to have any issues with their relationship.

Karl and I had been so much in love, we met in college and soon we became collage sweethearts.. Everyone at school knew us, and Claire was one of my friends. Karl decided it was time to Introduce me to his family and that was when everything went wrong. His family, particularly his mother, did not approve of our relationship.

“Karl, we already have a plan for you. As soon as you finish college, you will be engaged with Claire.” I overheard his mother say after she excused herself to talk to Karl.

“But, Mum, I love Cassey.” He stated, refusing to to let him mum win him over. “You do not know anything about love; you are young and have a long time to learn to love Claire; besides, she is a beautiful girl.” She said finally. With the tone in which she spoke about Claire, I knew she loved her by default and wanted her for her son.

After much deliberation with his mother, Karl consented to go on a date with her. Somehow, I wish Karl had disagreed with his mother and spoken up for our love. Even though, she did not show her disaproval of me, I already knew she did not want me for her son.

When we left the house, Karl told me what had transpired and begged me to oblige his request to fulfil his mother’s desires.

“It is just one date. I promise.” He mouthed as he informed me that he had already promised his mother. He assured me that he would ensure the date did not go well so Claire would not want to have a relationship with him too.

I was pleased with Karl’s assurances and agreed to let him go on a date with Claire.

“I love you, Cassey.” He told me that following our talk about the date and our incredible sex that day. He had gone on a date with Claire afterward. I was glad Karl loved me and Claire did not matter, but I guess I was mistaken because he later got her pregnant.

“We can not do this any more.” He commented one evening, following our intense moment together. I enquired, perplexed and little agitated by what he meant. I had always wanted to establish a future with Karl, and every day I fantasised about having Karl’s child and starting a family, but that dream was cut short due to Claire.

” Why, Karl? Are you breaking up with me? I questioned, getting up from the bed to face him, tears welling up in my eyes as my heart raced. I was agitated as I waited breathlessly for his response.

“Karl, please answer my question.” I said to him, and he gazed for a while before responding. “She is pregnant, Cassey.” He said after a moment. “Who was pregnant?” How did anyone being pregnant have anything to do with us?” I glanced at him, wondering and wanting, at the very least, some explanation.

“Claire is pregnant with my child.” He added, “What!!” I gasped as I felt a piercing pain in my chest. I grabbed the pillow on the bed and drew at him. ” You animal!!!! You had to get her pregnant.” I said as I moved to punch him. I broke down in tears as he clutched my hands.

“I am sorry, Cassey; I love you, but I cannot have a child out of wedlock.” “Our engagement is in a few days. His words tore me apart, and I yanked his hands away from me.

” One date Karl and you got her pregnant. Did you ever love me?” I enquired as I cried hysterically. “I do love you, Cassey, but… He muttered, “I do not know what went wrong.” I turned to look at him, sighed deeply, and dried my eyes. He tried to embrace me and apologise for what had happened, but I was done and did not want to hear his justifications. ” Get your filthy hands off me, you fool!!” I yelled at him as I went out of the room. His family choice for Karl was Claire and his family as at the time had a great infl uence on him. With his family disapproval of me and Claire pregnancy. There was no chance of winning Karl over.

That was our last conversation together before I left for the States. I felt deeply insulted and betrayed. I had to leave following his engagement with Claire. I could not bear seeing the love of my life with another woman, especially one who was my friend at the time. I left for the States as I could not bring myself to watch Karl get married and now, even though years had past I was still unable to move on from him.

When I heard about the divorce, my heart gladden. I had just gotten engaged when I heard about Karl’s divorce over the media. Soon after, a woman I knew was not Claire arrived to disprove the news and played Karl’s wife. I felt it was best to act quickly to get the man I had always desired, and now I have him exactly where I wanted him to be.

I drive down to a bar to have something to drink and celebrate my victory with Karl. ” Yes, I was engaged, but now I was with someone I adored. Karl. It was certainly something to celebrate.”

“Some tequila, please,” I said as I walked inside the bar. As I sat down to drink and reflected on my accomplishment, my phone rang, and I sighed as I checked who it was. “Jordan?” “What do you want this time?” I enquired; it was my fiance Jordan. I ignored the call and carried on drinking.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

I did not want to talk to him, but the phone rang frequently, and I answered after he stopped calling.

“Cassey, what is with the text you just sent?” He said curious about what I had sent. “Well, it is better late than never; I am calling off the engagement.” I responded, and he was perplexed as to why I would do that.

” Cassy our wedding is in a month. “Why would you do this?” He enquired, clearly upset at what I had just said.

“I have no emotional ties to you, and I am tired of pretending; I have found someone I adore, and we will be married soon.” I said.

“But I love you, Cassey.” he responded, “it does not matter, I do not feel the same way, so there is no use in forcing things,” I added, hanging up the phone.

As I dropped the phone, I took a sip from a drink and removed the ring from my finger.” I am sorry Jordan, it’s Karl I want.” I said to myself as I drank again. Karl was who mattered to me now, I was so done with Jordan.
