Chapter 70: Is he still alive?

Cassandra figured she had to tell Edward about this text, but she had doubts because she witnessed Edward shooting Anthony in front of her, but before this Anonymous number ruined everything. Before hurrying to the door, she grabbed her phone and purse.

'Should I tell him about this? What if it's just a prank?' she pondered as she huffed and walked downstairs, her plans to tell Edward thrown out the window. 'You look..' he trailed off, looking up and down at her. "You look fantastic, he stuttered.

Cassandra blushed as she looked at him in his tuxedo.

"So do you?" she politely replied.

"Are you ready to go?' he inquired.

"I had like the steak Medium rare, please,' Edward said to the waiter. The waiter left after he handed him their Menus. She simply stared at Edward.

She looked into his lovely eyes. The same lovely eyes that will hopefully be on their child's face.

Her brown hair will be theirs. Edward's incisors are straight and white to perfection. She jolted herself out of her reverie.

"So, what would you like to talk about while we wait?' she inquired.

"Well,' he said, trailing off. 'You know how much I love you. I do. I know you've had a difficult time in the last few years because of the accident, but hopefully, over the last year I've proven to you that I will only love you.' He paused, and she smiled, waiting for him to continue.

"You are so precious to me, Cassandra. I want us to have a big family. Let's have more babies and be happy forever with them, he said as he rose to kneel. He fished out a tiny square black velvet box and slowly opened it.

It revealed the stunning diamond-encrusted ring she couldn't take her eyes off. It's More beautiful than their wedding ring. he asked as her eyes widened, she felt her heart skip a beat before jumping up at the same time he did.

"Yes! Yes, I will Many you again, My husband!' she exclaimed. perhaps a little too loudly. Cassandra heard a lot of awws from the people around her.

They hugged again, and he spun her around a few times, squeezing her waist tightly.

He placed her down. 'Let's see how this looks on you, he said, taking out the ing and placing it perfectly on her finger. Her eyes welled up with tears

"We're going to start over, Sweetie; let's forget everything from the past he said as Cassandra nodded

Edward then drew her in close and kissed her on the lips. While he kissed her slowly, her arms wrapped around his neck.

"See you late, honey. Xoxo -A

She signed while looking down at her phone. She believed she would be safe as long as she was with Edward. "But what if Anthony is still alive? He'll hurt my family." she worried to herself.

He texted her again, so she assumes he saw that she had already read his text.

"Please respond, honey."

She inhaled deeply. She shouldn't have responded because all she was doing was giving him what he wanted, but she did.

"Whoever you are, this is the only thing I can say about you: you will never get Me."

Cassandra could almost hear him chuckle before he responded.

'You never learn, Honey? I always get what I want, and when I don't. I just work harder to get it. I want you to be careful once you get out of your car, because I am going to get you, and Edward won't be able to protect you this time.

She didn't respond, instead turning to Edward.

"Umm, Love, I have something to tell you."

"I'm going to call the cops on someone who texted me saying he was Anthony and wanted to get me," she said, worriedly.

He glanced at her before returning his attention to the road. He appeared to be thinking about it. "Relax, sweetie," he said, "We both know Anthony is already dead. Maybe someone was just making fun of you:just ignore it; no one can hurt you while I am alive," he added as Cassandra fiddled with the gleaming new ring on her finger, a slight smile on her face. "All right," she said.

Cassandra smiled. They wOuld be back home in fifteen minutes.

When they arrived in the driveway, there were about 7 cop cars parked outside. When she turned around, she saw Anthony standing in front of the car. When she looked to her side and saw Edward was gone, she immediately freaked out. She tried to lock the doors before he got in, but it was too late. He yanked open the door and yanked her out of the car.

"Let go of me!" she screamed, struggling as he wrapped his arms around her completely

He held her arms down and drew her close to him with one of his arms, and the next thing she knew, she felt the cool Metal of a gun up to the side of her head. She froze and simply waited for help.

"Walk with me, and if you make a scene, I will kill you right there," he threatened in her ear. She gave a nod. Her eyes welled up with tears. He pushed her into the back of his car and secured her with what appeared to be seat belts. But they were made of leather, and she couldn't move her legs or arms.

He slammed the door shut and dashed inside, immediately starting the car. He drove extremely fast and unexpectedly.

Everything went black when her head hit the back of the headrest.

She awoke from her dream, crying, and found herself wrapped in her husband's arms. She sighed, attempting to relax. "What's wrong, sweetie?" Edward mumbled sleepily as he awoke. He wrapped his arms around her waist even more tightly.

She smiled, knowing that even half asleep, he still wants to hold her. "I just had another nightmare about Anthony, Love, and I'm so scared," she admitted. He sighed again, "He's already dead, okay?" he said, caressing her cheeks and kissing her forehead.

She smiled as she watched him fall asleep again.

'Love, she said quietly.

"Mmm," he murmured.

"I can't sleep," she explained. His eyes popped open, and she flinched back, terrified at how quickly they opened.

"Would you like something to eat?" he inquired. He was so familiar with her.

"I am kind of craving ice cream now," she said. He just smiled and pulled the covers off.

He stood up and took her by the bridle. Just as he did when they married. He makes her smile with everything he does. She is madly in love with him. He placed her on the kitchen counter and proceeded to the freezer.

"Do you want chocolate, vanilla, Mango ice cream, or a sundae?" he inquired.

"Sundae!" she exclaimed. He laughed and brought out the tub of ice cream sundaes When he opened it but it was empty.

"God, Mark, he always eats the ice cream and then leaves the empty tub in the freezer," he grumbled.

"That's fine; can I have mango ice cream?" she politely inquired. He nodded and reached for the mango ice cream.

He poured some into a bowl for her and another for himself. He hopped up onto the counter and sat down beside her. They shared an ice cream cone at three a.M.

She lowered her gaze to her growing tummy. It has become obvious, that she needed to start shopping for maternity clothes. "What are we going to name our baby?" she inquired.

He looked down at her stomach before returning his gaze to her. He smiled before saying, "Cassie" and she returned his smile.

"It's perfect,' she said with a smile. She kissed him on the lips before continuing to eat her ice cream.

"Only one kiss?" he asked, his face pouting. She noticed he had finished his ice cream.

"I'm still eating!" she exclaimed as she looked down at her bowl.

"When are you done eating?" he inquired. He gave her those puppy dog eyes she couldn't get enough of.

"Fine. When I'm done," she said.
