Cassandra  looked at him shocked. Tears filled her eyes on it's own. She felt pain, anger and hatred gush through her as she took a sharp breath. 

"Your father called me. He asked me if he wanted to meet you" Coltrane stated as a fact.

"Me?" Cassandra repeated. He stared at her in shock. 

"Why are you behaving this way?" Coltrane asked if he thought she would be happy hearing that.

Cassandra shakes her head laughing which turns into tears. She hiccups. Is this a joke? Why does he want to meet her again after the last time? 

5 years, 5 years she was struggling to live, but not once he tried to meet her. He behaved as if she didn't exist. Now all of a sudden he wanted to meet her again. Was that slap not enough?
 
But now she wants to behave as if he does not exist. Hasn't she made it clear before?

"I don't want to see him" Cassandra snapped standing up. She put her plate on the wash basin.

"They called me a long time ago. They will be here at any moment" that's when the doorbell rings.

"Who the hell are you to make the decision of my life?" Cassandra snapped glaring at him.

"I don't want to see him, Do you hear me?" she yelled.

"I fucking hate him" tears fall from her eyes.

"Send him away, Did you hear me?" She screamed.

"Are you being insane right now?" Coltrane snapped back.

"He is your father damn it" He returned her glare, almost shocked at her behavior.

"I don't have a father. He died for me a long time ago" Cassandra breathed harder.

"I invited them, so they are coming. '' Coltrane took a deep breath to calm down.

"Fine then I will leave" she bite her lips hurt at his words. She should have known what she was signing for. No one will be there for her; she knows that as a fact but simply looking at it. He just proved it. 

Cassandra abruptly turn when he grabbed her hand, "I did not mean it that way" 

"I know how you mean it," She said bitterly.  That's when the door opened. Ben must be behind it. She looked up and her eyes widened in shock not only her father but Mrs.Walmart too. 

Cassandra stares at her daughter. Her eyes widen tears.

(A/N: From here I will write Cassandra Mayor as Casey and Cassandra Walmart her mother as Cassandra)

"What are you doing here?" Casey asked coldly. She glares at them with hatred which she always hides. But today her emotions were running wild. Especially when she remembered how she killed a life because of her incompetence. How does the bitter truth of her life make her do something? How did she lose her identity that day? She can feel herself shaking as everything crashed on her. She takes a deep breath trying to calm her nerves that these medicines are working.

Cassandra flinched at her tone. When Carson asked her if she was ready to face Cassy she thought she can but now she is at loss. 

"She is your mother" When Carson said this. Cassy feels something weird. She wanted to run to her and hug her and ask her where she was but then everything became cold. Tears held back her whole life fell from her eyes. She fell down, Coltrane looked at them shocked. He has no clue what the hell is going on. But he feels uncomfortable seeing her sobbing like this.

Without noticing Cassandra coming forward touching her daughter's face tears fall from her eyes.

Cassy pushed her away as she could, "Stay the fuck away from me. You disgust me" she yelled.

"Cassandra" Carson growled at her. She flinched.

"What is going on here? Why is she crying?" Coltrane asked Carson, almost glaring at him. Cassandra looked at him when he pulled Cassy up.

"I am her birth mother" She said looking at him with tear filled eyes.

"I know" Coltrane pulled her into a sitting position.

"I am Ms.Cassandra Walmart" his eyes snapped at her. He remembered something Jeremy said a while ago. He felt shocked, so everything Jeremy said came out to be true.

"Then who is Carina?" Coltrane asked this time feeling something weird.

"She is my twin sister" Cassandra answered looking at him.

"I don't understand anything" He snapped. Cassandra took a deep breath looking at her daughter who stopped crying but gave her an utterly cold look. She felt tears filled her eyes as she mouthed, "I am sorry"

*************

First Person POV( There is a reason why I write First person's pov, you will get to know later on)

Carina and I belong to a rich high class family. We always have everything we wanted with a loving mother and a strict business minded father who loves us equally.  We have a strong sisterly bond but that all changes when Carina falls in love with Carson. She looked away.

I was jealous he was taking my sister away from me. I hated him. It started during our college life. Carson and I don't like each other at all. I was totally different from my soft, loving and caring sister.

"Loving, caring" Cassy sneered only to earn a glare from her father which she returned that's when Carson flinched for the first time. 

"Let me continue, "  Cassandra said.

They decided to get married after college. That's when Carina begged me to understand Carson and accept him. I decided to do that. 

We developed a mutual respect. But slowly I started to like him. I keep it to myself. And wished them a happy marriage. Their marriage merged our business.

So, I get involved in my father's business keeping myself busy and avoiding any marriage proposals my father has for me. But that did not last long. 

On their fifth anniversary they get to know that Carina will have problems getting pregnant. This was devastating news for them. Carson's family was not being sympathetic at all. They were forcing them. After one year has passed  they give him an ultimatum if they don't get any heir from him, he will be thrown out of the house.

Carson came to my father for this without letting my sister know. She cannot get pregnant, so me, him and my father decided I will go through insemination so that our businesses will get an heir. I was happy to be able to give birth to the man I loved. We decided we will tell Carina after the successful insemination.

It was all going as planned but Carina got pregnant even though her chance was low. 

Carson wanted to let this matter go and backed away from the plan. Father supported him. No one knew about me getting inseminated. If we keep it under wraps nothing major will happen.

I was angry, so I went for an abortion  but it will put my life on risk so I cannot do that. Carson was happily pampering Carina. I told the father about it and he said that he will take care of it as his own daughter. I don't need to worry.

When I was 9 month I wanted Carson for myself and we fought. My sister got to know when she was heavily pregnant. Her water broke later on mine. 

After the baby was born she threatened Carson that she would go away with the baby, Casron loved her so he asked me to go away and let him leave in peace. 

I was a mess and the baby felt like a burden rather than a gift to me. I was not in a mental state to love her or give her anything. I felt betrayed. Carina looked at me with hatred and Carson never came to see the baby which I spent 9 hours bringing into this world. 

I don't want to look at her or have anything to do with her. She looked away. 

I give her up. 

"I am sorry" Cassandra looked down.

Coltrane felt the stunt turn around to look at Cassy. She had tears in her eyes. No matter how many times she heard it. She still felt hurt. 

"I am sorry" Cassandra said again looking at her daughter. 

"I wished you have lied and tell me you have no option but to let me go" 

There, Carson felt guilty looking at Cassy. She never asked for anything. She was always happy in her own heaven. She has weaved since her childhood. She never asked him anything except for the basic needs. But looking at her sobbing in front of him hurt him. She was crying like a baby. 

"I never asked to be born" her words came out in between sobs. That broke Coltrane out of his stupor. He hugged her tightly before turning to them,"Get out" 

"You have hurt her enough" 

"I never asked for this" her hollow empty words echoed in his heart as he clutched her tighter as if she would vanish if he let her go. 

*************

Catherine silently followed Jeremy. He looked at Rose who was facing down.

"Sorry" He told her before making his way out. She mouthed sorry before following him. He drove to the nearest hospital. 

"Is Aaron in there?" The receptionist looked up. 

"Mr. McGills" she smiled at him brightly. 

"Yes he is in there" Jeremy nodded his head before entering.

"Jeremy?" Aaron was busy signing papers when he entered.

"I hurt my hand. Can you check it out?" Aaron blinked his eyes almost confused at his odd behavior. 

"I am not an orthopedic Jeremy" Aaron rolled his eyes.

"I need an x-ray report" He told the nurse standing beside him. 

Jeremy followed the nurse leaving Catherine behind. That's when Aaron noticed her. He stood up abruptly.

"Cassandra?" He whispered.

"It's Catherine. Aaron" He blinked his eyes rubbing his head.

"I... What are you doing with Jeremy?" Catherine looked at him and wondered what should she say or do?

"I am married to Jeremy," She forced a smile at him. His eyes widened in shock at her words.

"I thought you married Coltrane" Catherine shook her head.

"No"

"Why?" Aaron asked. She looked away and kept silent. When he noticed she had no intention of answering. He sighed," Coltrane called me a few days ago to ask whether you and Jeremy were dating in the past or not. Do you know why?" 

"No I don't know" Catherine told him.

Jeremy came back with the x-ray report. 

Aaron looked at it thoroughly.

"You cracked your bone. I don't know why you are not screaming like a mad man"Jeremy rolled his eyes. Before telling him that he needed to plaster it.

"No," Jeremy shook his head.

"No need" Aaron sighed and looked at Catherine who was looking at Jeremy shocked.

"Jeremy please. You need to treat it" she said. 

"Please" Catherine said, touching his hand. He hissed in pain.

"This might take a worst turn and your hand moments will be damaged permanently" Aaron mocked. Jeremy sighed and did what was told. He wanted to put up resistance but he needed to talk to him.

Aaron smirked and plaster his hand. Jeremy grit teeth in pain. Catherine touched his shoulder. After all that Aaron asked, " Why did you marry Catherine? Did you cheat on Coltrane?" 

Jeremy flinched, the pain he was feeling vanished into thin air. Catherine's face paled. He stood up and turned to go away grabbing  Catherine's arm with his plastered hand which restricted his hand movement. But he stopped.

"Before talking about cheating you should look at yourself. You wife came and she was so desperate to divorce you that she was ready to sleep with me" Jeremy mocked coldly. Before getting out of his cabin. He paid at the reception.

"Jeremy,  you are hurting me" Catherine said even though she did not feel any pain. She just wanted to get his attention. He released her hand. Punching the car's hood.

"Jeremy" she screamed. The pain makes him feel alive. He sat down in the parking lot closing his eyes. Even though Jeremy said he will do anything for the baby. But here he is again stuck in his beliefs. He opened his eyes to look at her; Catherine was on her knees hovering over him in concern. He put his hand on her neck forcing her to his face. He pressed his lips against her. She gasped.

Jeremy pressed his lips against her lips. And kissed her slowly, softly sucking on her lower lips. Asking for entrance she let him in. His tongue wandered inside her. She moaned softly. 

After a while they both grasped for air. Catherine looked down and her cheeks turned red. He pulled her on his lap.

"Jeremy, we are....." Catherine trailed off her cheeks turning a darker shade of red and she felt ashamed of herself.

That breaks his trance. What was he thinking? He sighed.

"I don't think I am in any position to drive," Jeremy said. Her eyes widen when she sees her position, she abruptly stands up. Her heart beat faster and she was not even listening to him. 

"Huh?" She said.

"I called a taxi and asked someone from the company to come and drive this car. You can go home. I will return back to work" He said coldly. Catherine flinched before nodding his head as he slowly stood up.

They make it out of the car. The taxi was waiting for them.

"Will you not come home?" Catherine asked him.

"No, I have some work," Jeremy shook his head. Whether it works or his own uncertainty he has no idea. She almost tastes like something divine that he should not have. And her reactions were too innocent which messed him up almost. And he can see that she is holding back her tears again. 

Jeremy did not want to make her cry and so he did something trying to keep her emotions and his uncertainty in check.

"Go to Mom's. I will pick you up from there. Make sure you eat healthy food and take your medicine on time" Jeremy said. Her eyes brighten up. Catherine nodded her head and smiled at him. It's been so long since he saw her smiling. She was about to enter the taxi when he pulled her to him, pecked her on her forehead just like he used to. He let her go. Paying the drive.

Catherine sat down on the seat. She can still feel the warmth of his lips on her forehead. Tears filled her eyes. This is how he always kissed her. Pecking her forehead, her heartbeat fastened. It's almost cruel how he behaves coldly and all of sudden being warm. He becomes her Jeremy.

She gets down in front of Jane's house. The guard opened the door. She entered pressing the bell. 

Jane came abruptly almost shocked to see Catherine standing there. After how Jeremy took her away yesterday. She hugged her. 

"Are you alright dear?" Jane asked. Catherine nodded her head and smiled at her.

"Why was Jeremy so angry yesterday?" She asked her and pulled her inside. Catherine does not know what she should say?

"Jeremy will come to pick me up. He wants to explain this to you" Catherine said. Jane sighed, relieved that her son has some of his wits attached. She was so worried about Catherine. Now that she is here, she jumped up.

"Wait, I will cut you some fruits and a glass of milk," Jane smiled at her. Catherine nodded her head returning her smile.
