Cassandra POV:

"What?" I chuckled. What the hell was he thinking? That I would just agree to live with him after breaking up for seven years?

"Don't tell me that you think we're together just because we slept the other day. That was a mistake. That was a void. We're not together," I added and he seemed offended by my words.

I could sense the driver peeking at us through the rearview mirror. Ricky signalled him to drive faster. He talked no more and just looked out the window avoiding meeting my gaze. His expression was strange, looked as if he was disturbed about something. We arrived at the company and Ricky did not talk with me the rest of the day. I wondered if he was being moody because of the things I said to him in the car.

What would he expect anyway? That I would just fall into his arms and accept him again after he gave up on our relationship seven years ago. It was a painful experience for me, and now that I met him again, I didn't even know what to think. I didn't know if I

    Riccardo POV:I never knew that Cassandra could be so scary until she threatened to kick my balls. It was quite funny actually, the fact that this tiny woman dared to threaten me. She didn't even know who I truly am. My true identity was still unknown to her. I still couldn't figure out how I should open up with her. But sooner or later, I ought to tell her about it. She deserved to know the real reason why I chose to give up on her seven years ago. It was not because I didn't love her enough. It was because I loved her so much, that I didn't want to risk her safety by being with me.Cassandra entered her apartment building and I followed her from behind, distancing myself about five meters away. She disappeared into the elevator and I deliberately waited until that thing moved up. Then I took the next trip and reached level seven. Cassie was very superstitious about the number seven, it was her lucky number, so she ended up buying an apartment unit on that level.Since I already knew

    Cassandra POV:My front door was finally opened and we both peeked outside. It was just Dome, Ricky's bodyguard. What a joke? Why would he act so vigilant over opening a door?"Sir, your clothes and food for dinner," Dome said seriously. That guy was really scary to be looked at. He never smiled. I couldn't help but felt hostile toward him.Ricky opened the door fully this time and Dome leaned over to give the stuff he brought to Ricky. There were a few pieces of suits and casual clothes with hangers and Ricky gave them to me, signalling me to put them away. To where? To where, Ricky? Did you expect me to put these in my wardrobe? I gaped at him in disbelief. Did he plan to stay at my house for a few days?Ricky took the food from Dome and closed the front door again. He swiftly went to my dining table and carefully served the food on it. I still gaped at him while holding all his clothes, staring at him to demand his explanation."What?" He met my gaze and asked like he was the confu

  • Accidental Love With The CEO Mafia   Chapter 13: Jealousy

    Riccardo POV: She was scared. I could feel it. I wasn't that clueless to not notice the change in her attitude after I took out my gun. I didn't really mean to scare her. The gun really messed with my posture when I sat. It was pinching my back. Initially, I had no intention to show it to her. But then again, she would see it anyway if I am to take a shower later. She would freak out even more if she saw it without me around. She probably would think that I might try to kill her. The last thing I want was to come out of the bathroom and get hit by some object from her. So, it was better that she knew it this way. Save me a lot of unnecessary trouble and she too looked more obedient now. Cassandra told me to go take a shower. Well, I guessed that was her hint that I'm allowed to stay for the night. I left her alone in the kitchen and went to her bedroom, using her personal bathroom. Certainly, there was another bathroom in that apartment. It was a three-bedroom and two-bathroom reside

    Cassandra POV:I dreamt about the first time I made love with Riccardo. Strangely, even after seven years, that memory was still intact in my mind. Every single emotion, every single gesture I felt that day was still fresh like it just happened yesterday. And last night, the same beautiful memory happened again for real. I didn't even know why I allowed it to happen, but maybe it was true that I'm still in love with Ricky even after seven years.That morning, I woke up in shock because I realized that it was nine o'clock right now. Ricky was nowhere inside the bedroom. Did he seriously just leave after what happened last night? He didn't even wake me up? I'm late for work now. That inconsiderate guy!Okay, this was maddening. Maybe I was expecting too much from him, thinking that he would stay and wait for me to wake up like during our first time making love before. That was seven years ago, Cassie! Why would you expect him to behave the same way like seven years ago? Now, I'm feeling

    Riccardo POV:Cassandra refused to talk to me. We were just silent inside the car, heading to the restaurant. I texted my men to clear the management in Rosette Apartment and changed our people to work there. Cassie kept peeking at me when I was texting, maybe thinking that I might contact other women again. That was the only thing inside her thought whenever she saw me using my phone. Like I would have that much time to waste entertaining other women. I was barely able to entertain her properly, let alone other women. Trust me, I won't have a chance to do such a thing. My schedule was very tight with a lot of important stuff to do.We arrived at a fine dining restaurant and the hostess brought us into a private dining room where Sergio was already waiting for my arrival."The missus looked mad," Sergio remarked while giving me a handshake. He glanced a bit at Cassie who was behind me, wearing a sulky face."She agreed to share the apartment," I deliberately announced the reason why s

    Cassandra POV:I came back to the table and suddenly the atmosphere turned a bit stiff. The two men were looking stern for some reason. Honestly, I didn't care. I'm still pretty pissed off about this morning when Ricky tried to steal my house. But then, the things they talked about before I left was catching my attention.Who the heck was Don Luigi? Never heard of that name before. If he was someone who worked inside the company, then maybe I would know about it. Or if he was a client that Ricky was approaching, then I would know too. But I never heard anything about this person. I tried to search for that name on the internet but only a cartoon character came up, Luigi the Super Mario's twin brother. Okay, that was a stupid move.After lunch, Ricky and I finally headed to the company. We worked as usual and our routine was normal like yesterday. Nothing unusual happened, but I felt slightly uneasy today. Am I having an affair with my boss? I didn't know how to explain the type of rel

So, I did not felt hesitated at all to open the front door when he called me out."What happened?" I asked while my hand clenched on the cardigan right in front of my chest to cover my revealing collarbone.Well, technically the sleeping gown that I wore before was like a thin singlet. It was not see-through but still too sexy to go out like that. Before Dome could answer me, the PA system of the building made a baffling announcement."Attention! Attention to all residents of Rosette Apartment. Please leave your units immediately within fifteen minutes. I repeat! Leave your units immediately in fifteen minutes! We received a lethal threat that there's a bomb inside the building. It might blow out any moment now. Leave the building immediately and use the stairs!"What? A bomb? My eye widened as I stared at Dome in disbelief. He notic

    Riccardo POV:The time on my watch showed almost six. Cassandra had left like an hour ago. I guessed she probably had arrived home by now. I had no intention to stop working yet, probably going to stay in the office until midnight.My phone which was in silent mode kept vibrating since morning, receiving calls from Carina. I avoided answering any of those calls because I didn't have the mood to argue with Carina right now. Surely, all her calls must be because of Cassandra. Don Luigi had announced his birthday party, so Carina must have wanted to know who was my plus one for the party later. She probably wanted to persuade me to make her my partner. Hell, no. Sergio said I should bring Cassie to that party. So, Cassie it was.My eyes suddenly caught something unusual on my phone screen. There were just calls before. But now, I saw Carina sent me a message with some pictures attached. That was a bit uncanny. Did she try to blackmail me with some of our intimate photos now? So, I opened

As I requested, Ricky took down the Rossi's mansion to the ground and built my very first art gallery on the land. Because of my anonymous identity in my painting business, I was able to continue it even after the cathedral case. So, I lived by making my own million dollars selling paintings til today.

Today was important because all the Mafia Dons along with some of their future successors would be having a meeting with me inside my office room. With the whole Rossi family gone, the Rossi region was left without any leader now.Everyone expected the leadership to fall into my hands. But I just didn't feel right taking power over half of the country's region. I just didn't feel like being in that much power.

    Riccardo POV:I never would have expected that Cassie's relationship with her family was this bad. I got it that they weren't talking anymore but I never had the idea that they were treating her this disrespectfully.She just got out of jail after shooting Carina, had her dream wedding turned into a tragic incident of bloody red event and instead of comforting her, her parents just chose to annoy her even more. Not to mention the extreme entitlement her younger brother had over her, demanding a job from me because I married Cassie without their consent. The audacity."Leave... And stop bothering my wife again. If I see anyone of you try to step foot on my property again, I won't hesitate to sue for invasion of privacy and have the police take you all away. Don't even try to test me. Ernesto, tell Dome and Marco to escort them out. Put them on the blacklist. Don't let them enter my mansion again."Cruel? I bet Cassie would want it to be worse.

    Cassandra POV:I didn't know what my family was trying to do by coming here to meet me after my court case had ended. It seemed like they were waiting to see if I was really innocent about it or not. They started showing how they cared about me. So for once, I thought maybe they were being real this time. I invited them to sit in the living room and I told Verona to go serve some drinks for them. My parents just started looking around the mansion and checking out every stuff their eyes could see."I have some work to do upstairs. Why don't you just have some private talk with your family first," Ricky said and I just nodded in agreement.Honestly, I could sense that they were having some ulterior motives to come here. But I tried to think positively and went to sit together with them in the living room. Maybe it would be different this time. Maybe they really wanted the four of us to be a real family now. The thought of my mother admitted that she never loved me when I had the phone c

    Riccardo POV: When I woke up again, the doctor told me that I had been out for three days. Sergio, Dome, Leo and Franco were all around my bed. But Cassie was nowhere to be seen. "Where is my wife?" I asked firmly to them. I really thought that I was going to die but now that I'm wide awake and felt strong again, my heart just instantly searched for that one woman I loved the most. I turned to Sergio as he was the one responsible for everything if I ever was not fit to be in power. He looked down to avoid my gaze and started apologizing. "She's in jail. Convicted with first-degree murder of Carina at the cathedral," Sergio said timidly. That just instantly made me angry. "What do you mean she's in jail?! It was self-defence. You all saw it. Carina shot at us first. How long had she been in there?!" I asked fast and Leo told me it was ever since I was hospitalized. I sighed hard in frustration and my chest started feeling hurt, the effect of the gunshot wounds I got. They all star

    Cassandra POV: When we arrived at the hospital, Ricky was pushed to the ICU instantly. I, Leo, Sergio and Dome were asked to wait outside. We waited for hours before the doctor came out and told us that Ricky was fine. The bullets had been taken out from his body and lucky enough none of them hit his internal organ. He just lost a lot of blood but was estimated to be in full recovery within two weeks. I finally could breathe normally again when the doctor said that. Everyone looked glad and maybe this was indeed going to be my happy ending, right? But who was I kidding? Not even a day passed but a few policemen had arrived at the hospital to take me in. "I'm sorry. Are you Miss Cassandra Moore or should I call you Mrs Xavier instead?" A police officer talked to me. "I'm her lawyer. Don't say anything," Sergio came forward and warned me to shut my mouth. He was ready to deal with the police in order to protect me. "We received multiple reports stating that a murder had happened ins

    Cassandra POV: I couldn't believe that this was happening. Of all the days she could have come and attacked me, she chose to do it on the most important day of my life. My heart just shattered entirely the moment Ricky chose to use his body to shield me from the gunshot Carina fired at us. He instantly fell to the floor and I could only see death was coming to get him. My mind went insane at once and I could feel my whole life would be over if Ricky died. But I no longer wanted to live in fear if Carina was able to escape again. She must die today no matter what happened. With all my logical thinking going disarray, I just did whatever crossed my mind. I knew Ricky had a gun right now, so I went to get it. "I killed the Godfather! I killed the Godfather!" I heard how Carina was screaming happily to celebrate her success in shooting down Ricky. It enraged me so badly that I lost my sense of humanity for that split moment. "You're a f*cking monster! I'm going to kill you! I'm going t

    Riccardo POV:"Do you take Cassandra Moore as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest's voice echoed all over the cathedral as he spoke on the microphone."I do," I replied solemnly without a single hesitation. I had been waiting to say those two words my whole life for Cassie."Do you take Riccardo Xavier as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" The priest repeated the same to Cassie."I do," she too seemed to be confident saying those two words for me.Then came the time for both of us to exchange wedding rings. We faced each other, looking dear as soon enough, we would be officially husband and wife for good. Actually, in legal law, we were already married as I had registered our

    Riccardo POV:Cassie just automatically turned sad at the mention of Nicola. Now that she saw the heels Nicola made for her wedding, she just couldn't help whimpering at them. Maybe the memory was too horrible for her. I remembered how she was there too when we found pieces of Nicola's remains on the hill where her car was bombed by Carina. Cassie fainted that day and she was so taken aback to lose Nicola that way.How she had convinced me so much about Carina's wicked intention. If only I had trusted her that time. This memory just reminded me how stupid I was in the past. Now, it hit my feeling hard too. I quickly held Cassie tightly in my arms and kissed her forehead a few times."I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." I couldn't stop apologizing as the memory flashed in the back of my mind. It suddenly made me realize how lucky I was that I managed to make things right again with Cassie. To be able to come to this point again with her, it was somewhat amazing how the universe worked his mi
