Matteo Valentino

~•~

I placed Cassie on the bed and warned her not to fall asleep as I went to the bathroom to prepare a bath for her.

I turned on the tap, filled the bath with water, and poured some bath bombs in it that contained lavender essential oils and peppermint for soothing her muscles and relieving pain.

When the bath was ready, I went back inside my room to see that she was falling asleep already. I sighed and patted her cheeks softly.

She groaned as her eyes fluttered open. "Please, just let me sleep."

"No, Cara," I said firmly. "If I don't take care of you now, you'll wake up all sore tomorrow."

Cassandra sighed and raised her hands weekly. I bent down, allowing her to attach them around my neck, and picked her up by the ass, taking her into the bathroom. I placed her inside the tub and she sighed in satisfaction.

I didn't get in the tub with her, but I made sure to wash her properly, taking extra care when washing her long hair that had been doused with sweat.

    Rowan Valentino~•~I couldn't stop thinking about what Cassandra said about her father which meant I woke up a lot earlier than usual, as early as four o'clock in the morning.Did that mean he hurt her as well?I didn't care that he was her father or the fucking President. Whoever had the audacity to hurt our girl would have a lot to answer to us.I spent most of the morning working out at the gym as I tried to think of more ways to get information about her father. I brought out my phone and sent a text to George to look for information on Cassandra's father. I would've called him but it was only five o'clock and I wasn't cruel.My mind was eased a bit after that text because I knew how competent George was. He'd managed to find out that the person embezzling from us wasn't doing so from directly our company. The person was working in a smaller branch close by, which meant we were close to catching the bastard.I knew Matteo would get mad at me if he found out I was hiding such impo

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I collapsed on the bed, tired from the day's work. It was only my second day of work, but I was finally starting to see what Matteo meant by demanding.Yesterday, we had finished a bit before five, but today, I was dropped off at Jules' apartment by past seven.But then again, the pay and the fact that I was working with Matteo were worth it. "Girl." Jules joined me on the bed. "You seem tired.""That's because I am, Juliet." I sassed. "I can't even think about quitting because the pay is very generous.""Yeah, I'm looking forward to your first paycheck."Jules was a writer, so she never really left the house. Recently, she developed writer's block and she didn't seem eager to overcome it. She only had one published book and was looking forward to publishing the next one."You know damn well that paycheck is going into the apartment.""Speaking of the apartment, did you tell them yet? You came in this morning and rushed out of the house without speaking a word

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"We found the house for you and your people," Rowan announced, coming into Matteo's office without knocking.Since I started working here on Monday, Rowan has been coming in and going out of Matteo's office uninvited at random times. Sometimes, Matteo kicked him out, but other times, Rowan didn't leave when Matteo did."You did?" Matteo asked, looking up at his brother at his arrival."Yeah. We can go look at it after work if you want." He told me."Yeah, sure. Thank you so much."I didn't have any time to waste as Rafael was becoming more frequent with his visits. It seemed like he was also visiting my father's house because my father kept calling and texting me to take Rafael back.I didn't know how to take my stuff from both houses.My father was becoming suspicious about my siblings' everyday visits, so they stopped because he promised to punish them if they continued to see me without his permission.I'd promised them that I'd get them out of that house whi

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I watched as Rowan's face scrunched up in confusion before it settled in realization."What do you mean your ex? Was he the guy you were with when you met us?""Yeah," I answered briefly, hoping he wouldn't ask any more questions about it. Of course, he did."So why was he hanging around your apartment? Is he harassing you?"Rafael coming to Jules' apartment every day should be considered harassment but I didn't want Rowan to worry which was why I brushed it off. "No, he's not.""But he was chasing your friend.""Jules." She imputed from the back seat."Hello, Jules." He smiled at her through the rearview mirror, turning back to me immediately after. "Why was he chasing her then?""It's nothing. He wants to talk to me but I blocked him.""Is that all?""Yeah."I didn't know how the Valentino brothers always knew but somehow Rowan felt I was lying. His hand landed on my thigh and he squeezed in a warning. "Princess, what did I say to you about lying?"Panicked,

    Rowan Valentino~•~"Her friend likes the place," I announced as soon as I entered our house. Matteo was at the dining area and as usual, he was working on his laptop, but this time, a plate of food was beside the device. I walked up to him and moved his laptop away. "Bad manners, Matt."He glared up at me but didn't say anything about it. "And Cass?""She does as well. But she's hesitant. She thinks she's taking advantage of us.""Well, she does have an advantage because she's with us.""That's different," I told him and he nodded. "She says she'll give me an answer about the house tomorrow.""Answer?" Matteo snorted. "Did you ask her to marry you?""That was exactly what her friend said." I laughed, going into the kitchen to see that Matteo already made a plate for me. I chuckled under my breath, knowing he'd never do it if I was around before joining him back at the dining."What if she says no?" "She won't," I assured him. I saw how much she liked the place. I saw how much Jules l

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"So have you thought about your 'answer'?"I didn't look back as I continued pouring the cereal into my bowl. "Stop bugging me.""I'm not bugging you. I'm just curious about your answer.""Yeah, sure." I went to the fridge and brought out the milk. "That's why you've been asking me this question since I woke up.""I just want to know what you'll tell your men."I sighed. "I don't know yet.""Whatever. I'm going to shower. Don't leave before I'm back."I released a breath as she left. I was both dreading today and excited about it as well. I was going to receive my first paycheck today. But I still had to give those men the answer I promised Rowan. Deep now, I already knew my answer.Rafael's visits were becoming threatening. I wondered what he would do if he got to see me. I didn't know how I didn't see how crazy he was before we started dating. My father was also getting out of hand. He didn't know Jules' apartment and yesterday, he had asked Lauretta where

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~Jules kept a finger to her lips to ensure I didn't make any sound, but I couldn't keep my eyes off her.However, my silence aggravated my father and he placed his leg on my thigh, putting all his weight on it. I cried out in pain. I could feel a glass under my thigh and it was digging into me violently.I didn't feel any remorse for whatever Jules was about to do. He might end up killing me if she didn't intervene.One minute, his leg was on me. The next minute, the pressure was removed and he turned around swiftly, catching Jules' hand just in time. Her eyes widened in fear as the vase clattered to the ground.He wrapped his hand around her neck, laughing as he pushed her backward. "And what were you just about to do?"Frantically, I looked around, searching for what I could use to stop him, then I pathetically remembered that he was stronger than both of us combined and if I didn't do anything, he may hurt Jules.The worst part was that nobody would come to o

    Matteo Valentino~•~Although Rowan had assured me that Cassandra would accept the house, I was still unsure.After all, she'd known us for two weeks. We might be coming on strong and it may end up chasing her away. I'd instructed her to check out the house with Rowan yesterday, but I wasn't going to push it anymore. I didn't want to do anything that would make her leave us.When I walked into my office, my eyes went straight to her desk to find it empty. I frowned.All day this week, she had made sure to arrive at work before me and she always had my coffee on my desk.I sighed. Maybe, she was avoiding us. I thought of calling her but immediately squashed the thought. I should give her a little time. She could just be running late.I went back out to tell the secretary to get me coffee before going back in and starting my work.I hadn't been working more than thirty minutes when I got a call from Cassie herself. I answered immediately. "You're late. Are you avoiding Rowan and I?" I as

    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
