As soon as my alarm rang, the doorbell rang as well.

I frowned, yawning sleepily. Who could be here as early as seven?

The doorbell rang again and I waited a bit to see if anyone was going to get it but when it rang for the third time, I groaned and stood up from my bed.

I put on my flip-flops and exited my room, taking the staircase two at a time.

The doorbell rang for the fourth time.

"What kind of impatient person is behind the door?" I muttered to myself as I pulled it open.

I was certain I was still dreaming because Matteo and Rowan were standing in front of me. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing clearly.

They pushed the door further open and stepped inside. "What are you guys doing here?"

Instead of answering my question, Matteo said, "You told me Rafael was an old friend."

"What?" I was confused about the sudden topic. Why were they suddenly talking about Rafael?

"Why was Rafael at your house on Thursday?"

My brows furrowed. Even Jules didn't kno

I laughed bitterly. This was exactly what I was talking about. They wanted me to spill my deepest darkest secrets to them yet they couldn't be transparent with me.Make it make sense, please!My tongue poked the inside of my cheek and I unlocked my door, drawing it open. "Get out.""Cassie—""Get out," I repeated, my tone harsher than before. I didn't want to listen to the lies they would swindle that would make me okay with being in the dark when it came to their personal lives. "Since you can't trust me with your secrets and believe this 'no secrets' thing is one-sided, I'd kindly suggest you leave right now.""No."I looked at Matteo in disbelief. "No?"He walked toward me and banged the door shut, locking it again. "No." He reiterated."And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" I crossed my arms on

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"Does this mean this space thing we were giving each is over now?"I chuckled at Rowan's question. Honestly, I wasn't so keen on being away from them this long. It had been a whole week since I'd seen them and it felt like something was missing in my life."Yes. I don't want you to feel like you're too much.""We're over it now, Cassie. Losing a loved one is never easy but we've had people around us that make it easier.""I'm so glad.""You're one of those people, Cass."I didn't know whether or not that was a compliment and I was relieved when Matteo popped up his own question. "You'll be coming back to work then? I've missed you around the office.""Well, about that…""Uh oh." Rowan didn't let me speak. "She's about to quit on us.""I won't blame her honestly." Matteo concurred. "She must get tired of seeing us at work and also at home.""It's not that." I chuckled, glad they were able to joke again even after the heavy topic we just discussed. "It's just—" I

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~The next day, I resumed working in their company and it was like nothing changed because I still got the usual stares, but this time, there were whispers.Most of them were about the fact that I hadn't been at work for a week which made me start to wonder if they were keeping tabs on me and it continued for the next few weeks.Matteo got me a new laptop while Rowan got me a phone. When I confronted them on it, Matteo said not having a laptop would affect my work rate and it was true, considering the fact that I had been using Lauretta's laptop. Rowan, on the other hand, said it was an apology gift but I knew deep down, he just wanted to get rid of my old one.I liked the fact that they wanted to spend on me but I didn't want to seem like a gold digger who was with them just because of their money.I'd relayed this to them but they assured me that they didn't think of me as one seeing as I'd never asked them to spend on me.There was no winning against the Vale

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"I'm so excited that Thanksgiving is close. A little break from work." Hilary sighed exaggeratedly, shaking her head so that her braids bounced. She was on blue braids that fitted her very well. Then she paused and looked at me. "You don't have any problem with breaks. You can take one whenever you want.""What do you mean?"I knew asking that question was a bad decision when she answered in an obvious tone. "You're fucking one of the bosses. Just bat your pretty eyes at him and, boom, vacation."I couldn't help but laugh. "You're silly. And can you be any louder?"She took it as a challenge. "Wanna try me?""No, please, no." I looked around the cafeteria, hoping no one could hear what we were talking about. "Because I now consider you a friend—""You didn't before?"I ignored her, already knowing she was playing around. We hadn't talked much but she was someone I knew I could trust. "I'll tell you this, but you have to promise me you won't say it to anyone els

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I'd told Rowan to surprise me and surprise me he did.Instead of the restaurant he had planned for us to go to, he decided we should chill at home and eat junk.I'd told him that I didn't think that was advisable as I already ate pizza and was looking forward to modeling, but he assured me we were going to work it out.He meant sex."This is nice though," I admitted.Rowan and I were cuddled up under his sheets while a movie was playing on his TV. "It is, isn't it?" He kissed the top of my head softly.I loved any time I got with the men.I loved hanging out with them just like this, but—One of Rowan's hands was on my thigh, drawing small circles with his finger and I took his hand, moving it up and under my shirt.I heard him chuckle but I wasn't deterred.I guided his hand until it was on my breast and I left it there. Rowan squeezed. "Such a bad girl." He whispered.I looked back and placed a kiss on his cheek before I continued to focus on the movie.Appar

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I thought Rowan had been rough with me last night but that was nothing compared to what Matteo was doing right now."Ah, oh, fuck, Matt!" I screamed, unable to help it as he fucked my brains out. I could barely comprehend what was happening.His fingers were digging into my hips and my chest was across the cold granite surface of the aisle as he pounded into me without remorse."Yes, uhh," I mewled, unable to form words.Matteo didn't have words to say, so he just focused on fucking me.Over the sound of Matteo's cock entering my pussy, I heard the sound of footsteps but Matteo didn't stop.He didn't even slow down his pace until we were both groaning as we reached our climax together.Only then did he stop and pull out of me.I heaved a deep breath, laying there on the kitchen aisle."You guys were at it like rabbits."I blushed when I heard Rowan's voice but I wasn't surprised he was awake. I may have woken up the neighbors too.I felt Matteo pick me up, sitt

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"Cassandra!" Jules screamed from the living room. I poked my head outside the kitchen and she said, "You've just hit five thousand followers!"I squealed in delight because I knew that out of that five thousand, only ten knew me in person. I was so surprised to see my account growing so fast, but then again, "You've been tagging me in everything you do and you have a lot of followers.""Or maybe, it's that fire picture Matteo took of you that you posted this morning." She reminded me. "He made it look so professional with the background and everything.""He is good at what he does." Rowan had told me about just how good his twin was at photography but Matteo was being modest."We ought to celebrate, Cassie.""It's just five thousand." I waved it off. Of course, it was a big deal to me, but it just wasn't something worth celebrating."One, two, three, four, one hundred, one thousand, five thousand. Cassie, that is worth celebrating." Jules grinned but I knew she

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~My birthday did not go as planned.The plan was to spend the day with Jules and my siblings but as it turned out, Jules had an important meeting with her agent, and then, her editor. After that, she had to meet with her publisher.Lauretta had a thing with her friends, so she couldn't be there as well.It was just Nicholas, Justina, and me.We had fun anyway.Thankfully, my birthday fell on a Saturday, so work couldn't interfere.We had a lot of fun going from one place to the other and touring places we'd never been to even if we've lived in Newyork all our lives.At the end of the day when we got back home, Jules and Lauretta were back and they apologized for not being there for me.I didn't take it to heart and went upstairs to get ready for my date with the men. They said they were taking me to a very expensive and exclusive restaurant and I had to put that into cons

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I took a deep breath as I heard the announcer's voice, calling out for the models.I was nervous as fuck, but it had nothing to do with the fact that I was about to walk on the runway. It was not the first time I was doing it. However, it was the first time I was doing so in a foreign country with news only I knew about.I was in Rome and I'd only arrived here two nights ago which meant I hadn't gotten the time to tour the city. Besides, I was terrible at their local language and I could get lost easily.I stood in place as the models left one after the other.My hand was shaking but I willed myself to be strong. I saw the last girl leave and I walked closer to the curtains. As soon as she came back, I took one last deep breath and started my strut.The applause was instant and I was certain it came from my family who were seated in the front row.Keeping my poker face on and careful not to break into a smile, I walked down the aisle, stopping at the edge to st

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~Matteo gave us an unimpressed look. "Really guys? You're fucking in a fucking storage closet?""We didn't fuck." Rowan spat at his brother, glaring at him. "Cassandra was horny and whiny and I did something about it.""Whatever the fuck you were doing, you didn't think to lock the door? What if Mom opened it instead?"I blushed in embarrassment, at the same time, grateful that it was Matteo that opened the door and not someone else. It would have been much more humiliating.Rowan rolled his eyes, not bothered. "We were on our way out anyway."He shouldered past his twin and as I was about to leave as well, Matteo held me back. "I know my brother thinks with his dick sometimes, but you ought to be responsible."I smiled sheepishly. "I was tipsy.""Course you were." He sighed, closed the door, and put his arm around my waist as he led me away from there. "We're back on the shore and I had to look for you guys everywhere."I said goodbye to Tash and her friends be

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~The party was a blast. It wasn't the usual style of throwing parties but I was certain Jules would have loved it here. I made a mental note to introduce the birthday girl to her soon.Tash had been ecstatic that she could finally consume alcohol without faking her age.Well, she did not tell her parents that. They thought she was just happy to be able to consume alcohol.Her mother still appraised me with watchful eyes, but I tried not to let it get to me. I'd just have to convince her I'm not the gold digger she thought I was.I was interested in one of her sons before I found out they were filthy rich.Under the constant glare of their mother, I could not go through the party sober.I was drunk and horny and it amused Rowan.Matteo was off somewhere doing God knows what while I sat down on a couch with the older twin — I didn't even know where we were.For the umpteenth time, my hand tried to sneak down his boxers, but he caught it before I could go further.

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~My eyes went wide as the older couple fixed their gaze on me.However, I was relieved when Rowan concurred. "They've always been like that. You'd like her university friends more." I didn't know what to say so I just kept mute as Matteo dragged me to his side, putting his arm around my shoulder. "Mom, Dad, this is Cassandra. Cassie, these are our parents."The woman had bright blonde hair which none of them seemed to inherit. They only took her blue eyes. The man's eyes were as dark as his hair. Both pairs of eyes were settled on me. I plastered a smile on my face. "It's nice to meet you both. Your son has talked a lot about you." I was lying. Matteo and Rowan barely mentioned their parents. They avoided it for as long as possible.They weren't looking forward to introducing me to their parents because of how intense they could be but we couldn't escape it forever, especially as their mom kept demanding to see me."Cassandra Salvatore?" She asked and I nodded

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I'd never been in a sophisticated place like this in my life. I didn't know how the decorators managed to make it sophisticated yet casual.Apart from the times they bought me expensive gifts, I often forgot how rich these men were. This party was a huge wake-up reminder. It was crazy how much money they had.What was crazier was the fact that funding this party wouldn't dent anyone's pocket.Rowan had revealed to me that Tasha had made everyone pitch in to celebrate her party.Since she was the youngest and the baby of the family, she received a monthly stipend from all three of her brothers, as well as her parents. She hadn't started working yet but she was a millionaire already!However, she didn't spend a dime of her money on this party. She knew how to bend her brothers to her will.There were a lot of high-class people at the party, even some celebrity singers. Matteo and Rowan were used to this kind of environment but I was like a wide-eyed novice.I had

    Matteo Valentino~•~"How would this work anyway?" Cassandra asked, stepping into the vehicle.She looked absolutely breathtaking with a red satin dress wrapped around her body and pearls hanging down her ears. She looked delectable.I took the present in her hand and placed it beside me before placing a kiss on the corner of her red-painted lips."Honey, you'll get married to us one day. You'll have to get used to things like this." Rowan was seated opposite me and Cassandra sat beside me, her thighs touching mine. The slit on her dress was high. I just hoped my mom wouldn't have anything to say about it."That's true."I was so glad she wasn't freaking out at the idea of marriage.When I first saw Cassandra, I didn't know I would be thinking of marriage, but after spending a few weeks with her, I knew she was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.I didn't know how she would take it though. Being in a relationship with two men was one thing. It was fun. It was thrilling.

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~Once again, my face had been plastered all over the internet.And so was Rafael's face when the police finally took him. The difference was that his face was bloody, almost unrecognizable. That could only be Matteo's work.Rowan had taken me to my house because he knew how worried Jules had been."Did he do anything else to you?""Why does it matter?" I sighed, not wanting to recollect the events of the past twenty-four hours. I was grateful I didn't spend more time there and it was all because of my brave men."Because the police would want to know. The more things he does, the more time he spends in jail." He explained slowly, taking care not to come across as rude. "Well, he assaulted me. He cornered me in the ladies' room and hit my head." There was a bandage on the place Rafael hit. He was sensible enough to take care of the wound, knowing it could be fatal if left unattended. "I fell unconscious. The next time I woke up, I was tied up. He tried to kiss m

    Matteo Valentino~•~I scrunched up my face as Damon pulled over at a small house. It was a house that looked like it had been abandoned and when I saw the brand of the car the police had described to me, I knew Cassie was finally going to be safe."He's sloppy." My brother commented. "Probably because it's a one-man job.""It's a good thing he is. Makes it easier to catch him."I sent off a text to the police, telling them to start coming to the address. I needed a few moments of having Rafael to myself before handing him to the police.I needed to make it clear to him that he had no right or audacity to challenge me ever.As we got down from the car, Rowan walked toward us. "So what exactly is the plan?""No plan. We walk in there. We get Cassie and we leave." Rowan stared at me blankly. "And maybe, rough him up a little.""Now, you're talking." Together, we approached the door of the house carefully. We just assumed it would be a one-man job. I was hoping we were right.The door l

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I didn't get to step a foot outside before Rafael's hand wrapped around my waist in a firm grip and pulled me against his chest.He closed the door and locked it.I tried to hit him again but he quickly held my hand and turned me around, backing me up against the wall."Are you fucking stupid?" He roared out, face full of anger."Fuck you." I spat out, trying to escape from his grip but he was too damn strong.Soon enough, he relaxed his hold on me but I felt the cold metal on my head, daring me to make a move.I froze, my chest rising and falling at a fast pace. His eyes dropped to them and he licked his lips. I felt too exposed. He could see the swell of my breasts in my bra.Why the fuck did he even strip me out of my clothes?I didn't care if I was going to run out of here naked. All I knew was that I had to run."You look hot when you are feisty." Before I could process what was happening. Rafael had his lips on mine. I couldn't move.He bit my lip harshl
