Cassie “Those traitors.” He whispered, “You think he trusts any of them after what happened to my mom?! We can only trust our family. They all say so.” He trembled. “I have to keep papa safe. I can’t leave him alone.” Surely he doesn’t think… his OWN bodyguards let it happen on purpose, Cassie’s head echoed with thoughts. Cassie took a deep breath, softened her gaze, and kneeled down to Blake, “Look, what happened to your mother was absolutely terrible. But your security team probably did their best—” “You don’t know anything.” He whispered. And he was right, Cassie didn’t know how his mother died, sure she died of poisoning but the how, how?, she certainly didn’t know. But Blake was wrong in one thing: in the “anything” part. Cassie knew exactly what he went through, she saw her parents return to ashes and be burned alongside the mansion, and the people she loved so dearly. “You’re wrong.” She lowered her voice, “I know one thing: I am not like any other bodyguar

Damian was seated behind Jordan while they drove towards the situation that was happening in the Croatian Syndicate. They were using a secret road full of trees that no one knew existed. “Incoming call, Boss.” Said Jordan, glancing at the screen. Damian was with his laptop, typing, but then raised his head to look out the window, then asked, “From whom?” Jordan stopped at a stop sign and looked at Damian from the rearview mirror, with an apologetic expression. “Milan.” He said. Damian’s face tensed. That call could only mean his adoptive father was calling or Lucas was calling for money. What does he want now? He said to himself. “We can’t keep the Don waiting, Boss.” Said Jordan, gripping the leather steering wheel, and turning to the right into the highway. Damian sighed, and said, “Put it through.” the screen in his laptop changed into a face-call with his father. An old man, who looked like he was in his mid 50’s with white hair and a long beard appeared. “Gabr

It was 4:45 in the morning and Cassie sat on her bed, rubbing her eyes with her hands because she couldn’t get a wink of sleep. Why can’t I sleep in peace? She thought, passing a hand through her long, silky red hair and tucking a small strand of hair behind her ear. She went to the nightstand beside her bed and grabbed a bottle of water to drink from it. I searched the room for cameras and found nothing… She pondered, but the feeling of being watched hasn’t gone away. Cassie went to her closet to grab her nanny uniform. Went to the bathroom to brush her teeth, comb her hair and put on some makeup and perfume, all while thinking: My room is perfect. Like everything in this house. But I can’t help but feel like there’s something ugly underneath. I just know it. Cassie did her hair in a different way and she had to be careful not to look too much like she had cut it all off. She made her bed and cleaned the room. By the time she finished cleaning, it was 5:50 and the sun

He looked just as surprised as Cassie was for seeing each other right then and there.Cassie stiffened and Damian looked—stared at her.Damian was wearing his dark blue three-piece tuxedo with his golden cross, first three buttons of his white shirt unbuttoned, like always, and his blonde hair was pulled backwards.Cassie was wearing her normal Nanny uniform which was a formal pink jacket with a white shirt and a long skirt with black shoes.Simple as that.Cassie stepped aside for Damian to go get the coffee Signora Conte left behind for him. Is he seriously

“Sì?” Giulia asked, smiling softly. “Give us a moment, please.” He continued to glare at Cassie. “Sì, signore.” Said Giulia, smiling cockily at Cassie. Cassie blushed and flinched. Now I’ve done it, she thought. When Giulia left, Damian stood up abruptly, scraping the chair against the floor. “Come with me.” He said, in all seriousness, walking to the sliding doors that led to the maze in the garden. “Mr. Ricci, I–” “Not another word.” He ignored her, taking a step outside to touch the grass. Cassie followed. “Enzo.” Damian nodded to the same bald guy Cassie had seen before. “Boss.” Enzo nodded, but flinched when he saw Cassie behind Damian, Enzo growled at Cassie.Damian heard that and grabbed Cassie by her right arm and pulled her closer. I appreciate not being chastised in front of the other staff, but he’s taking it a bit far. Cassie thought. When they were far away from earshot, Damian stopped and turned to her. Cass

“You’ll wish you’d died protecting him.” he whispered into Cassie’s ear. This made Cassie’s heart race, Ba-thump, Ba-thump, Ba-thump. And NOT in a good way. What have I done? She shut her eyes, and felt her fingers tremble. If a Mafia Boss would say that, then I don’t know what’ll happen to me the next time I try to confront him. Cassie . Damian went silent, and Cassie felt his eyes on her. “Make yourself at home.” Was all he said before leaving Cassie alone.… Cassie sat on her bed with her laptop, writing in her journal. He meant it, She wrote, His eyes said it all. That man… he wouldn’t hesitate to kill me slowly. Cassie wrote all of the emotions she felt during the conversation with Damian. … “I can take those.” said Cassie to Jordan when she saw him walking down the corridor with her luggage. She had gone downstairs so she could grab some cold juice or something that would make her cool down after the… incident in Damian's office. Jo
