Chapter 15 Anastasia suddenly remembered that during dinner yesterday , Cassian had grabbed her phone and changed his contact name from " Cassian " to " Husband . " At the time , he'd insisted with complete seriousness that since they were legally married , keeping hi : name like they were just casually dating made no sense . He'd taken her phone and updated it himself without asking permission - very typical Cassian behavior . Seeing " Husband " flashing on her screen now sent an unexpected flutter through her chest . She swiped to answer , her voice unconsciously turning softer . " Hey , what's up ? " Cassian's deep voice came through crystal clear . " You still at the office ? Don't leave without me - I'm coming to get you . Time to move you into our place . " He'd been counting down to this moment all day . Warmth spread across Anastasia's cheeks . " Okay , I'll wait for you . " she ended the call quickly , suddenly aware of her audience . The moment she hung up , she found herself staring into Jasper's absolutely furious face . He stood there looking like he wanted to strangle someone , eyes blazing with rage and wounded ride . Anastasia , want to explain why some guy is calling you and your phone says ' Husband " ? " Jasper's voice was pure ice , loaded with accusation . Anastasia's eyebrows shot up , annoyance flashing . " That's literally none of your business anymore , asper . We're not together , remember ? You don't get to police my phone calls . " Valeria quickly jumped in , looking shocked but pleased . " Jasper , don't stress about it . Ana's › bviously just trying to make you jealous . There's no way she actually found someone else this fast . " That seemed to bring Jasper back from the edge . His fury cooled as his ego reasserted itself . 16-49 Chapter 15 Right - Anastasia was completely obsessed with him . No way she'd moved on already . This was just another desperate play for his attention . " Ana , if this is some sad attempt to make me jealous , congratulations - mission accomplished . But don't fucking test me . " His voice dripped condescension . Anastasia's tone stayed perfectly calm but deadly cold . " You have some serious delusions of grandeur . Who I date or marry is absolutely none of your concern . " " The buyout paperwork's on your desk . I'll finish transferring my projects this week . You have seventy - two hours to decide - purchase my shares or I'm selling to outside investors . " With that , Anastasia walked out with complete composure . The second she left , Jasper grabbed the contract and shredded it violently . Fucking bitch ! This new version of Anastasia was completely impossible to manipulate . Valeria watched the destruction nervously before speaking carefully . " Jasper , what if Ana actually did find some rich guy ? Maybe that's why she's demanding so much money . Three hundred million is pretty ballsy though … " " She's not getting shit , " Jasper snarled . " If that ungrateful cunt wants to leave , she can walk away with nothing but the clothes on her back . " He'd thought Anastasia was smarter than this . Turns out she was just another greedy gold - digger . Valeria's eyes lit up with malicious satisfaction . " Exactly ! She's being ridiculously greedy . A few thousand in severance would be generous . " Jasper pulled Valeria against his chest possessively . " You're so rational , baby . Not like that psycho . " " I'll always have your back , " Valeria purred , running her fingers through his hair . " But now that you've pissed her off royally , we probably can't get those design files . " " Don't worry about that , " Jasper whispered against her ear . " We know her password . I checked 16:48 Dumped Today Married Tomorrow My Queenisher Chapter 15 earlier - her latest designs are basically finished . Once she clears out tonight … " " Perfect , " Valeria's smile turned predatory . " Oh , and I bought some new lingerie today … that pink lace set you like … " " You read my mind perfectly , " Jasper's mood instantly improved . " Definitely want a private fashion show later . " They were back to groping each other within seconds . After escaping Jasper's toxic office , Anastasia returned to her workspace and began wrapping up her responsibilities . Honestly , there wasn't much to transition . She'd always empowered her team to handle their own projects , and everyone had proven themselves more than capable . She spent the afternoon documenting ongoing initiatives and pending decisions . By six PM , everything was organized and ready for her replacement . She also needed to clear out her personal items to make room for whoever Jasper hired next . Sure enough , within minutes of Anastasia leaving , Valeria slithered into her office like the snake she was . After confirming the coast was clear , Valeria quickly accessed the computer and began stealing design files , a vicious smile spreading across her face . " Stupid bitch , " Valeria muttered while copying everything to her flash drive . " Thanks for doing all the hard work for me . Can't wait to take credit for your talent . " She transferred every design file before sneaking back out like the thief she was . From her concealed position down the hall , Anastasia watched Valeria's retreat with cold satisfaction . 16:48 Dumped Today , Married Tomorrow : My Overnight Wedding to a Tycoon 10.2 % Chapter 15 Step one of her revenge plan was officially complete . Then she headed down to meet Cassian . His sleek black Bentley was already waiting at the curb when she emerged from the building . Through the tinted windows , she could see him watching the entrance with quiet intensity . Starting tonight , she'd officially become part of his daily routine . Manhattan's skyline was just beginning to sparkle as evening descended . Anastasia approached the car and slid into the passenger seat , immediately enveloped by his expensive cologne and warm presence . " Sorry , have you been waiting forever ? " she asked , suddenly feeling shy . Cassian turned to study her face , something protective flickering in his usually guarded eyes . " Just got here . How was your last day ? " " Productive , " she said with a small smile . " I'm officially free . " " Good . " His voice carried quiet satisfaction . " Ready to come home ? " The way he said " home " -like she belonged there - made her heart skip . Cassian drove her back to Elisabeth's brownstone first , where his driver efficiently loaded her belongings . He'd offered for Elisabeth to move in with them , but she'd graciously declined , insisting newlyweds needed space to figure things out . Plus , she valued her independence too much to give it up now . Though Elisabeth wouldn't budge , Cassian was already arranging for a part - time housekeeper to check on her regularly . Finally , they headed to his place together . Cassian's penthouse occupied the top floors of Central Park Tower - the tallest residential building in 10.49 Chapter 15 the world and crown jewel of Billionaires ' Row . " Home sweet home , " Cassian announced as they pulled into the private garage beneath the building . Anastasia followed him out while the driver handled her luggage , trying not to gawk at the marble and gold fixtures surrounding them . Noticing her nervous energy , Cassian's voice turned reassuring . " Hey , it's just us up there . Plus Maria , the housekeeper , but she only comes during the day . " That helped Anastasia relax slightly , though butterflies were still doing aerobics in her stomach . Sure , they were married , but they barely knew each other . Moving in together felt like jumping off a cliff blindfolded . Plus , Cassian's reputation was pretty intimidating . Though their limited time together had been surprisingly… normal . The private elevator whisked them up forty - plus floors in smooth silence . When the doors opened directly into his penthouse , Anastasia's breath caught . The space was absolutely stunning - floor - to - ceiling windows showcasing panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline , modern minimalist design with warm touches that kept it from feeling cold . " Holy shit , " she whispered , then immediately blushed . " Sorry , I mean … wow . " Cassian's laugh was rich and genuine - the first time she'd heard him really laugh . " I like the first reaction better . What do you think ? " " It's incredible , " Anastasia said honestly , still taking it all in . " Like something out of Architectural Digest . " " Our home now , " Cassian corrected gently , moving closer . " I want you to feel comfortable here . " The way he said " our home " with such quiet conviction made something warm unfurl in her chest . 16:48 Dumped Today Married Tomorrow !! My Duomiebet Chapter 15 " Thank you , " she said softly . " For everything . " Cassian stepped even closer , his hand finding hers . " Thank you for giving this a chance . " For a moment they just stood there , hands linked , city lights beginning to twinkle beyond the windows . This crazy arrangement was starting to feel like it might actually work . ( 12 ) ( 0 ) 16:48
