Cassian Vale — cardex

He walked like the world owed him space, and spoke like every sentence was law. Respected in public, untouchable in reputation — he was power in silence, presence in stillness.

but he is nothing when it came to her

For her, his voice dropped, his hands gentled, his whole world slowed. He’d loved her for years. Quietly. Painfully. Obsessively. No other girl, no other face — just her. She didn’t just catch his eye — she became his vision.

Once, in the soft haze of eighth grade, there was a girl — too young, too wild-hearted, too innocent to understand the weight of a grown man’s love. Her laughter echoed through the classroom like bells, and she danced through life with ink-stained fingers and stars in her notebooks.

Her class teacher — respected, composed, admired — held a secret. A dark, forbidden crush that had twisted inside him for years like ivy around stone. When she reached class 8, he broke. Confessed. Whispered words that should never pass a teacher’s lips. But she? She laughed it off. She was just a child, bright-eyed, playful — she thought it was a joke. Just more adult nonsense.

Days after, he left. Vanished from the school like smoke from a blown-out candle.

Two years passed. she is 17 only She bloomed — into beauty, grace, wit. She stood on the edge of her final board exams in class 10, when the past came clawing back.

A marriage proposal.

From him.

He was rich now. Respected. High status. A man of education, wealth, and ambition. To her parents, he was perfect. A man any family would beg for their daughter. Her mother’s eyes gleamed with dreams of grand weddings and golden futures. Her father clung to tradition. They wanted her to say yes.

But for her? It was terror.

She remembered how he disciplined students — not with words, but slaps, yells, shame. She feared him once. Still did. Marrying him? Unthinkable.

She refused.

Until her parents weaved lies in silk threads — “Just an engagement,” they whispered. “After exams, we’ll break it. We promise.” They gave her peace in the form of a false promise. Just wear the ring, study without distractions, no boys will dare disturb an engaged girl. And afterward? Freedom.

She believed them.

She always trusted them.

The engagement was quiet. Claustrophobic. Suffocating.

The moment the ring touched her hand, he changed. Possessive. Controlling. He called. Again. And again. And again. She ignored. It wasn’t real — not to her

It was raining.

She was sitting by the window, legs curled beneath her, the dim light of the storm catching the side of her face. She was scrolling through her phone she saw his missed calls 879 times she ignored. she and didn’t even hear the door open. Again, no knock. No warning. Like the world owed him entry.

Cassian’s anger was no longer just fury — it was madness. His eyes were wild, pupils dilated with rage. Without even thinking, he grabbed her phone from the table and threw it across the room. It slammed against the wall, screen shattering as it hit the floor. " i have been waiting for this for so long. Since the moment I saw you. Since you were just a teenager in high school. I loved you before you even knew what love was, before you even understood what I was willing to do for you. And now you think you can just walk away?”

but how can he scare the only person he loves more than his own life. He fell to his knees in front of her, his body trembling as his pride shattered into nothingness. He looked up at her, his eyes wide with anguish. “Please… I’ll die. I’ve waited my whole life for this, for you. I’m nothing without you. Nothing. Please, don’t leave me. I can’t live without you, Mariam. I’ve been waiting for you since you were a child. Please. Please…” He clutched her legs now, the desperation in his touch more intense he is hugging her legs . His breath hitched as he spoke, the words coming out in a broken whisper. “I can’t breath ,im ready to take my heart out tear it out of my chest just for you to feel how much i love you"
