But Malcolm Is On My Shit List For Life Fyi - Tumblr Posts

Cass hated this. She hated that Malcolm was using this whole situation as blackmail to get what he wanted, but that was all he had ever been taught how to do. She felt herself breaking; she knew that she couldn't risk him exposing her "secret" to the world. Her parents wouldn't understand that she had feelings for a woman. It wouldn't add up with their fantasy of her in their minds. She also knew that "ruining" the engagement with Malcolm would break her mother's heart, as Bella and Nancy had been the driving forces between this whole arrangement. They wanted to see their families united, and Cassandra didn't want to be the one to disappoint them.

"Alright." Cass said softly, in a defeated tone as she reached for his hand and rose to her feet. "Lets go."

"That's my girl.", Malcolm said, pride swelling in his voice as he followed her through the apartment towards her bedroom.

She would give him what he wanted if it meant keeping Dina safe. Even if it meant that she had to end things with someone that she really thought she could fall in love with. And she could only hope that one day, Dina would forgive her.
