《His one and only》I

If you've come here after reading my other books, no you haven't. Fair warning, this was my first book and has never been edited.
♥️
CASSIDY'S POV-
"Cassidy!" I froze on my track.
"I want my daughter back!" He roared, slamming his hands on his table which now had a dent on it.
"No." I can't believe, I just said that. "
"You weren't there when she needed you the most when I needed you the most. We have managed to live on our own for quite a while now since you've divorced me, Dexton. What difference would it make if you'd be back? None other than me falling apart again while you leave me, like always." I stated, controlling the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes.
I looked up at the man I love, in the eye, one last time, "goodbye, Dex."
With that, I walked out of his office. I felt a vice-like grip on my forearm and a hard tug by my ex-husband.
"You don't want to cross me Cassidy, do not play this game. You know and have seen what I can do with my power." He warned as I smiled.
"I am the only one capable of crossing you, Dexton. You've made me capable of doing that. You always treated me like a queen, your equal. You always taught me how to stand up for myself, I've learned from the best. I've learned how to be strong from you, the past you. The man that I once loved. The man who always told me that I was enough, and I am. I can't fail that man I once loved Dexton, but he and you are two different people" I said, softly and ran out of the room that I seemed to be trapped inside.
I heard some buzzing sound and soon realized that it was my alarm.
I hate Monday mornings and bad dreams.
Especially those about Dexton Anderson.
I took a few minutes to calm myself down and looked at the chain around my neck, holding my engagement ring.
What went wrong with us?
I took a deep breath and switched the alarm clock off.
6:59
Perfect!
I internally groaned and buried my face in my hands. Let's just hope it won't happen to me today.
I have an interview at Anderson Industries.

HORRIFYING.
I know.
Though I don't want to go there, I have to because I really need a job right now, and there is no other option because Anderson Industries are the only one hiring. I need a job not only to take care of myself but also my daughter-
"Momma, good morning," Anna said as I felt two small arms wrap around my body.
My baby.
My world.
I smiled and turned around, facing my adorable four year old little angel, Anna. She has my blue eyes and her father's nose and naturally tan skin color. The thought of her father made my smile fade.
Memories flood back like a storm surge in my head.
Sometimes, I do feel responsible for the loss of a father's love in Anna's life, because I never told her father about her. Nor she of her father, but this is for the better.
No smoke can be kept hidden forever.
My subconscious keeps reminding me of that. And I know it's right. I pushed the negative thoughts away and looked at my little angel.
The reason for every breath, I take.
"Good morning, my little sunshine," I mumbled and rubbed her nose with mine as she erupted into a fit of giggles making my heart smile.
"Today, momma has an interview. So, I am going to drop you at your aunt Sofia's place, and later, when I come back, both of us, along with aunt Sofia will go for lunch maybe even get ice cream." I said and Anna's eyes lit up after hearing ice cream, her favourite.
I kiss her cheeks and she giggled again.
"Okay, Momma, I love, you," Anna said and ran out of the bed, to the bathroom.
where does all that energy come from at 7 in the morning?
I smiled to myself but the thought of today's day made the smile on my face soon disappear.
Anderson Industries
I had to go to Anderson Industries. The thought itself made me want to cry. I bit my lower lip to keep my frustration at bay and managed to exhale heavily.
Unfortunately, the owner and CEO of Anderson Industries is my ex-husband Dexton Anderson. As 'perfect' as the magazines refer him to. He isn't. Even though I still love him, (give me a break, he was the man I married, made happy memories with him and the father of my 4-year-old child. I can't unlove him, my heart refuses to. I hate my heart sometimes. If only you weren't the organ supplying blood to my body, I could have gotten rid of you for good.)

I will never admit that I still love him, 'cause he is the reason why I have been faking happiness for the last five years. He left me without giving any reason. He literally shoved the divorce papers on me one day and demanded that I set him free. He warned me that he'd do things if I don't sign it. Fearing for the little child growing in me, I did what I had to.
I loved him and he simply gave me divorce for no reason. I thought he loved me.
I thought.
Two strong words could instil wounds that never heal on you. Figuratively and literally.
Maybe, he did not love me.
That illusion was all in my head.
I chuckled at my sad depressing thoughts.
Sometimes, I still dream of him in my sleep, good dreams. About the good old days where we were happy, happily in love.
when we built our dreams together and saw them togther.
OKAY. STOP RIGHT THERE CASSIDY. STOOP.
Anna and I live in a pretty nice 2-floor townhouse in a beautiful neighbourhood. I have enough space for the living room, dining room and kitchen. The house has 3 bedrooms with two baths. One for me, one for Anna and one for the guest room. It has a lovely backyard where you can have barbeques and a front yard and a car park.
I got out of bed and decided to prepare some breakfast. I cooked some pancakes and potato wedges just in time for Anna to finish taking a bath and getting ready. She skipped down the stairs wearing her floral dress, white shoes and uncombed hair. I shook my head with an amused smile.
I'll comb her hair afterwards.
"Eat up, sunshine." I set her on the seat of the dining table as she started eating while watching the television.
"No spills on the dress. Okay?" I said, putting an apron around her neck.
"Yes, momma." She said, engaged in whatever she was watching.
I jumped into the shower and slipped into a knee-length black pencil skirt with a white blouse and paired them with white pumps. I tamed my chocolate hair into a chignon bun.
"Momma you look so pwetty!" Anna squealed as I marched back into the kitchen with my bag. I smiled at her. She was still not able to pronounce some words but she looked so adorable trying to speak her best.
"Thank you, darling. You're prettier" I said bending down to kiss her cheeks. I grabbed her hairbrush and started to brush her hair. Once that was done I finished my coffee and my pancakes. Brushed our teeth and we're good to go!
We went down to my car, just a simple Toyota Camry, bought it from my savings last year and from the separation pay from my last job, I worked as a hotel manager but the hotel closed down. That made me think of the divorce money in my bank account. I never wanted it but he deposited it in my account. I never spent a penny from it. I'm still planning on returning it. I drove to Sofia's place, a few blocks from my apartment. Sofia is my best friend who has been through my hardships. She is the only one I share my feelings with. Mostly.
Soulmate but make it friend?
Soon, we reached Sofia's house. I knocked twice and soon the door opened revealing a yawning Sofia.
typical.
"Good morning, sleepyhead." I greeted. She was still in her PJs. Her blonde hair is practically everywhere.
"I haven't seen you dress up like this in a long time." Sofia teased and I rolled my eyes. Anna came running and hugged Sofia's leg.
"Good morning, Anna. Ready to have some fun?" Sofia asked and Anna simply giggled. I glanced down at my watch.
8:15am
"I should get going, Sofia. I'll tell you everything once I'll return." I said and kissed Anna on her cheek, one last time before leaving for work.
"Sure girl, come back soon I'll be waiting."
"Yeah. Make sure you take a shower while waiting for me. You stink."
"Ewww!!" Anna teased as I laughed.
"Bye Anna. I'll be back." I kissed Anna's head and walked to my car.
"Bye Mommy!"
"Bye!"
I waved my hand at her before getting into the car. I started the engine and took a deep breath.
Time for the interview.
I guess..
