Cassandra Hated The Way He Was Looking At Her. She Had Purposefully Tried To Insinuate His Lack Of Intelligence

Cassandra hated the way he was looking at her. She had purposefully tried to insinuate his lack of intelligence to insult him and ruin the mood, but it didn't seem to be working. In fact, it was almost as if he enjoyed that she was mocking him and putting him down. It was...interesting, but it made her wonder if this was why his parents had stayed together for so long.

"I think you need to let yourself have more imagination, Cassandra.", Malcolm said as he continued to stroke her leg intently. "It's arrogant to imagine that humanity knows everything. It's also arrogant to imagine that we're the only people out there. And if believing in the paranormal and supernatural is stupid of me, then I guess I'm stupid."

"Cole", she said, taking a deep breath and exhaling through her nostrils. "I know we've talked about this....about you..."

"About me, what, Cassandra?", he asked, his eyes glaring into her as if trying to intimidate her into not speaking up or voicing her thoughts. When she was younger, this would have made her go quiet, but, as time passed, she had found her voice, and she wasn't willing to let him bully her into submission.

"I know what you're doing and I...don't want to have sex with you tonight.", she said, plainly, drawing the line in the sand. "I told you that I want to wait until we're...married..."

An excuse. One that she hoped he would buy, and respect, but, truthfully, she just couldn't stand the thought of him touching her. He was as cruel with his intimacy as he was in every other aspect of her life, and she just didn't think that was how love should be. She wanted to be with someone who respected her and her body, and Malcolm Landgraab had never shown any indication that was true.

He sucked in air through his teeth, shaking his head as he reached up to stroke at his temple. "You always say that, Cass. It's fucking exhausting. We're going to be married by the end of the summer. Why do we have to wait? You know Mother wants me to get you pregnant as soon as possible. The Landgraab name is at stake!"

There it was again; the subtle reminder that he was not marrying her for love. He was marrying her because he had to sire an heir to his family's fortune. There were several girls from wealthy families that would jump at the chance to marry Malcolm Landgraab, and a few from not so wealthy families as well. Why did it have to be her?

"I said no. That's enough.", Cassandra said softly, looking away as she attempted to remove her legs from him but he kept a firm grip on them. "You will have your heir after we are married and not a moment before. Touch me again, and I'll make sure that my father knows that you keep crossing my boundaries and he will not tolerate it."

In non-sims related news, I started a new save file for Dragon Age: Inquisition after not playing it for literally at least five years, because the new game is coming out next month. The funny this is, I already have 10 hours on the save file and I haven't even left Haven yet. 😅

send me "what's your favorite.." asks 💫

Jinkies! 👻

What's your favorite world in TS4!

Oooh this is a toughie!

Honestly, I think I still have a soft spot for Forgotten Hollow even after all these years. The Vampire Pack is still one of my favorites to this day even though I haven't played with vamps in a while.

But, I also really love the aesthetics of Strangerville, and the same goes for Chestnut Ridge. For base game though, it's Oasis Springs all the way <3 Guess I like the desert worlds lol.

Yuki couldn't remember the last time she was this angry, and that was saying a lot. Yuki did a lot to maintain a calm and collected image. She was the girl that was easy going, and could go with the flow with almost anything. But, when it came to her best friend getting her heart broken? That wasn't something she was okay with.

"I don't understand why you're getting so angry!", Cass said, defensively, raising her voice for the first time ever at her friend. "You should be happy for me. I'm your best friend! Shouldn't you support me? I encouraged you with Darling. You should do the same for me."

"Cass, don't twist my words. Of course, I support you! I just want you to find a person that loves you for you, and not for who you are...or the money that your parents have. Dina Caliente is a gold digging tramp, and she's been after Malcolm Landgraab for years. This has to be some kind of plan to get you to break up with him so that she can have him all for herself. There's no way this is real."

Cassie could hear what Yuki was saying, and she believed that it was true, but she didn't want to. She didn't want to believe that Dina was using her. Dina seemed so hurt; like she didn't believe in love. Cassie thought that maybe she could change her. If she could show her what real love was like, maybe she wouldn't run away from it anymore? Maybe they could even run off together, and then she wouldn't have to marry Malcolm; a man she knew would never love her and never give her what she needed.

"It has to be real, Yuki," Cass whispered, almost defeatedly as she rose from the lunch table with tears streaming down her face.

Yuki called after Cass, heartbroken that her friend seemed to be taking this so hard. She knew that Cass had always believed in love, and had always wanted to have a relationship like her parents had. Yuki could only hope, for her sake, that Dina wasn't scheming.

And if she was, Yuki would make sure she lived to regret it.
