We need to talk.

"Tell me everything, aunt Cassie!" Her eyes shining bright, Nyx asked Cassandra raising her voice.

Nyx knew since long ago that the two had feelings for each other.

But the two are idiots!

Ever since Nyx sent Timothy to Cassandra for her security.

Nyx started to see changes in both of them.

After a few months, it was obvious that they have developed feelings for each other.

The misfit gang were also frustrated watching the two. Timothy and Cassandra were practically living together for a couple of years but their relationship never changed.

They kept their feelings to themselves.

What's more frustrating is that Cassandra and Timothy knew each other's feelings.

They knew, yet they avoided each other and kept everything professional between them.

Over these five years, their feelings grew but they are still stuck on to their stubborn views.

For Timothy, Cassandra is the aunt of his benefactor. Who not only saved his life from a hell hole but also his daughter's life. He works under Nyx and she is his boss. Cassandra is his boss's aunt. There's also the gap in their status. He is a nobody and Cassandra is from the Prince family, one of the Sacred noble families and clans.

Timothy is divorced and is a single parent. Though his daughter will support him if Timothy ends up in a relationship with Cassandra. He is concerned for his daughter's future.

Currently, his daughter is living in country S.A.

Nyx made sure that, there is tight security around his daughter.

For Cassandra, it's not hard to guess her reasons.

She has many things on her shoulder.

Cassandra is fighting against Lyle Prince, the Prince family, she is taking care of everything her older brother left Nyx.

Without Nyx, she is alone.

Over the years, Cassandra has gotten closer to Nyx and understands her to an extent.

Cassandra knows she can't be a substitute for Nyx's parents but she is trying to give the warmth of a family to Nyx.

Nyx is her priority right now.

When will she find the time for herself? Cassandra doesn't know, not until she and Nyx finished taking over the Prince family at least.

Cassandra also worries about what the people in the sacred society will talk about Timothy and herself.

She doesn't worry about that for herself but Timothy and his daughter.

Their relationship will not impact two but three lives.

The Sacred society is too cruel for them.

"I-I" Cassandra was hesitating and stuttering.

Seeing Cassandra like that, Nyx walked towards her.

She grabbed Cassandra's hand and took her to the living room.

The two of them at the sofa, Nyx gazed into Cassandra's eyes.

"Go on, tell me what happened." Nyx urged Cassandra to tell her what happened between her and Timothy

Cassandra took a deep breath before she sighed.

"5 days ago when I arrived here, I was tired and bored. I wanted to go to some club and just let loose, get drunk. As you know, Lyle is working on a big project in Prince Industries. He tried to get Arrow tech's Aether cores for his projects but the Arrow tech declined him giving the reason that they have signed a major contract with the Zwei Heilige group. Then he tried to stir some troubles at the board meetings, to back him to work with some companies in Russia or S.A. I tried hard to prevent that and was able to succeed thanks to Hae-Young." Cassandra told Nyx. She felt a headache remembering what she was doing at the Prince Industry to keep Lyle Prince in check.

"... Go on, speed up the process a bit." Hearing Cassandra, Nyx rolled her eyes.

That's not what she wanted to hear!

"Well, that day I got drunk really really bad... So Timothy was there with me and brought me home. I was drunk, upset about everything and this ruggedly handsome man holding me by his hands around my waist... He likes me, I like him. Right now isn't this a perfect chance for him? Like I'm drunk, he can take advantage of me, right? But no, he was being a gentleman holding me by his manly rough hands... I got upset by the fact he wasn't doing anything, I know I was drunk back then it lowered my inhibitions. But I was still, conscious of it! Yeah, in those times sometimes people make mistakes and that leads to bad decisions but I wanted him... Like who wouldn't want to!!! I was drunk, this guy likes me, I like him, I was upset, he wasn't doing anything to me, I was horny! I don't know, I just got aggressive and tried to seduce him until he got to my bed. He was like he didn't care, he loves me but why is he not doing anything?"

Cassandra got a bit hyper and Nyx was quite amused by the story her aunt was telling.

"So I finally snapped when we were in my bedroom. He made me sat on the bed and told me to lay down, take some rest. Unbelievable, this guy! So I got up pointing a finger at him and shouted 'are you gay? No, if you're gay then you wouldn't have liked me. Are you impotent or something?'" Cassandra raising her tone imitated the way she shouted at Timothy.

"Pfft!!!" Nyx burst out laughing.

Holding her belly, she kept on laughing.

"Haha hahaha!!! hahaha... Hahaha... Hahaha... It's fu*king hilarious..."

It was so funny that she couldn't stop laughing.

It took a couple of minutes for Nyx to calm down.

"Go on, go on. Tell me what happened next!" Nyx urged Cassandra to tell the rest of the story about what happened.

"Yeah, I don't know what came over me to say that but I was like 'Are you impotent'. The look on his face was hilarious! He replied hurriedly shouting 'I'm not impotent!'"

"Pfft!"Nyx laughed again but this time she contained her laugh.

"So then, I was like 'Then why are you not doing anything!' He replied that I'm drunk and it's not good for us to do anything, I will probably regret it later. He told me that we are from two different worlds and he is your subordinate. I got angry and aggressive! Like, who the fu*king cares!!! I'm a 30-year-old woman, an adult. I want you to kiss me, touch me and rock my world right now! Then I learned that ever since he took me from the club, coming here at my house, holding me on his arms he was holding himself back. That man has a great will, you know! We argued for a few minutes about us, how we have feelings for each other and everything. I couldn't stand it anymore, I just jumped at him and kissed him hard. That was the trigger for him, at that moment we didn't care about anything. We just wanted to have sex. Then I woke up in the morning naked beside him. It was awkward at first, I don't regret what happened. I loved the night that I spent with him. But everything became awkward after that. We don't know, we feel embarrassed and awkward. Since them, we have been avoiding each other. This has been killing me, I want to have a proper talk with him." Cassandra said to Nyx holding her head.

"Then why don't you talk with him?" Nyx asked shaking her head.

'Stupid idiots!' She muttered inwardly feeling disappointed at the two of them.

'Just get married already!!!' She screamed in her mind.

"I want to, but he keeps avoiding me and I don't know what to do! Ever since you came here, he is completely avoiding me, like I haven't seen him for the past couples of days since you arrived. Today's the first time I saw him."

Giving a deep sigh, Nyx made Aaron call Timothy.

Aaron told Timothy that Nyx wants to talk about something urgent so he told her to go to Nyx asap.

Soon the bell rang.

Cassandra was confused, she couldn't remember if anyone was visiting today.

So she turned to Nyx.

But Nyx only gave her a look of disappointment that made her confused even more.

"I'll get it." Nyx said to Cassandra before getting up from the sofa.

A minutes later, Nyx appeared before Cassandra with Timothy following behind her.

Cassandra was surprised and got nervous seeing Timothy.

Nyx now was standing in between Cassandra who was sitting at the sofa and Timothy who was standing near Nyx looking confused.

"Listen up you two! Instead of avoiding each other and be awkward around each other, just talk you two! In the past couple of months, I learned some great life lessons and one of them is. 'Don't bottle up your feelings, just go ahead and confess. Embrace your feelings and face reality!' You two needs to talk about this seriously." She said to the two of them, surprising the two.

"Timothy, you are a great guy! I know you for about 5 years now. If I want my aunt to be with someone? The first person who comes to my mind is you. I'm not against you two, don't think of anyone other than you and my aunt and talk! Aunt Cassie, you wanted to talk to him, now he's here. He's all yours. I'm going to go shopping, so I'm leaving you two to talk. Bye!" After saying everything that she wanted to say, Nyx left.

"..."

Cassandra didn't know what to say, she just stared at her niece with her mouth open.

"..."

Timothy understood what Nyx said to the two of them.

He turned his head to face, Cassandra.

Who also turned to face him.

There was a minute silence before the two spoke at the same time.

"We need to talk." Cassandra/Timothy.
