Cassia smiled as they walked through everything. Nikos, on the other hand, did his best to try to go straight when his guests sent him congratulations and congratulations from left and right. Cassia tried to keep a straight face when everyone congratulated her on her wedding and wished them the best, but what she really thought was that this wedding would only last a day. ”It`s awesome! Yes, almost two years ago, Costas Andrade, Cassia`s grandfather, had a heart attack. Since then, he has been tied to his bed. And it seems that the scandal that occurred ten years ago after Cassia and Nikos` marriage was buried because Costas again claimed Cassia as his heiress. He even left her at the head of the Andrade side of the company, which is headquartered in New York. Antonio pushed Nikos and he opened his red eyes and blinked. It was time for her to move into the reception area.
People were already forming snakes to throw rice, rose petals, salt and sugar on their heads as a symbol of happiness for their wedding. [TEASER] Doomed to failure from the start. Nikos Demakis and Cassia Andrade have married in a multi-billion dollar merger deal. Nikos isn`t ready to give up on his Playboy lifestyle, and Cassia is a far cry from the sparkling celebrity her elite circle is waiting for. Events force them to live separate lives. Ten years later. ”Husband, isn`t it? Well, this marriage contract and the ring are all you`re going to get from him anyway. It`s still mine,” the woman said in a strongly accentuated French.
”Miss, I`m not trying to fight this morning. I just want to talk to Nikos. So if you could please leave us. that would be great,” Cassia tried to stay calm as she said the words. The seats were removed and a dance floor was set up. Behind the dance floor, a high table was set up and Cassia and Nikos sat in the middle. The moment Nikos took his seat, Cassia noticed that he had fallen asleep again. But the goodness of her heart prevailed and she returned to Greece to visit her grandfather.
He was, after all, her only living relative. NOTE: Since this book will be published, what will be published on Wattpad is my draft and my unedited version.

You don`t know what I had to do just to get through this semester,” Nikos laughed. . ”I know. The course is demanding and therefore the bosses must be demanding. It is harder to survive there than here. The law is much more difficult.
Too many people to bribe. ”I wanted to talk to you about the changes in the company. The merger is still fresh and I would need you at the Greek office to clarify more details. I will also train you and introduce you to the board of directors so that you can easily take over. To be honest, she tried as much as she could, but she still stood out like a sore thumb. She was like a duck in a room full of beautiful peacocks. She was not like those people. Yes, her grandfather was rich, but she was not born into the greatness of wealth like these girls. She didn`t even know about her grandfather`s existence until about a month ago. ”Why is your voice different? You seem happy.
Hmm. Is there a lady involved?” asked her boss. ”Of course. Keep going,” Cassia replied as she took her seat. ”Cassia. I apologize, but I should borrow Nikos for a few minutes, okay? Business discussions,” Antonio asked. She breathed a big sigh of relief, mixed with embarrassment and horror at her current situation. She cast a furtive glance at her groom, who was now leaning on her best man as he began to fall asleep again. ”When buying clothes, make sure they are the right size. Not one or two sizes too small. The sun started to set and immediately the place looked different. Dozens of lanterns were lit and the pool on the other side of the balcony was filled with floating candles.

She just had to go through the humiliation of that day and then she finished. She could return to America and live her dreams. ”Who made your hair? My poodle`s hair is so much better than that. He was their light in the darkness; her self-confidence grew stronger in the moments when she stopped believing in herself. Well, it has been a big part of his life. Without him, she wouldn`t have been able to go this far. Yes, Hector wasn`t that perfect. He had his bad times: he was always very busy. She always felt like she was the second in her life. But she understood him, because he also wanted to pursue his dreams and take his place in the world like her.
Nikos took Cassia`s hand and placed it on the hollow of his elbow. He carefully led them to the high table reserved for the two and their families. As soon as she sat down comfortably, he glanced at her from the side. ”My penthouse in Athens. It`s closer to both companies. ”Nikos. I didn`t say that! Don`t you see Costas lying to you as he has done from the beginning? ”That`s when I found out I would never fit in,” Cassia whispered as she breathed in another sip of the blow. But before he could comment on it or ask why, someone slapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and hit his friend Antonio`s smiling face. Again, she ignored all this taunts.

But he was a difficult man to please and instead of earning her love and praise, she always earned her anger. ”Nikos. You`re welcome. Listen to me.

She totally agreed that you would both live with me. Cassia glanced at her watch again, then turned off her laptop. She leaned against her sofa and cradled the coffee cup in the palm of her hand.
”Don`t you want to introduce me to your beautiful fiancée?” Antonio moved. ”Please go ahead. I have to talk to my husband,” Cassia pleaded calmly. For the past two years, she had tried to run both half of her business and her own company, Cassiopeia. Everyone told her she would fail. But she didn`t. Once again, she proved everyone wrong by rising to the top. She turned one side of her dress in her fingers as she continued to cast nervous glances at the crowd. .
