Cassandra Salvatore

"What?"

"This woman. Your mother. What's her name? Do you recall what she looks like?"

"Why?" He shot me a pointed look and I bit my lip. "Just let her be. She's my past. I don't know where she is right now."

"She can be traced easily."

"Just forget about it, please," I begged Rowan because if I didn't, there was no guarantee he wouldn't go after her.

I also hated the things I'd gone through but finding her wasn't going to change the past. What happened already happened. There was no going back.

"She's in the past," I repeated, making sure he got the message. I wasn't interested in opening up a can of worms.

"Clearly not too far into it if you're thinking about her."

I breathed sharply at the jab, making Rowan swear.

"I didn't mean it like that, baby. I didn't." He said, walking up to me. He lifted my chin so I was looking up at him while still in Matteo's arms. "I love you so fucking much that I can't stand seeing you hurt. Knowing that someone who put you th

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~Jules was staring at me with her mouth wide open while I fidgeted under her gaze."Can you not look at me like I'm an alien?" I whined.She suddenly hugged me, but it wasn't like I was not expecting it. I was surprised she even lasted this long without wrapping me with her long ass arms."God, Cassie, you have been through so much, haven't you?""I guess." I sighed, not wanting to make a big deal out of it. I didn't want to have the same conversation with her as I did with Matteo and Rowan which was why I didn't wait for her to ask me any questions before I blurted it all out. "Okay, now you're just suffocating me.""I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She chuckled, pulling away. "You told Rowan and Matteo before me?" I shrugged. "Well, it came up.""Those men are stealing you from me slowly.""Don't be so dramatic, Jules." I laughed. I was happy she wasn't bursting into tears or doing something extra like she had done when she first found out that I was being abused by my

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"Let's throw a party.""Get out of my room," I yelled out from my closet as soon as I heard Jules' voice. I was in the middle of getting ready for work.Instead of listening to me, she stuck her head inside my closet, strolling inside when she saw me putting on my pants. "Pleaseeee. A Halloween party.""We've had too many parties for the year.""We've had only one party!" She cried out."Yeah, a week ago and it's enough for the year. We'll have another one next year."Jules scowled at me. "I wasn't asking you. I was telling you." I arched an eyebrow at her. Technically, it was my house, so— "Fine. Please. If you don't want to attend the party, you can just stay at your other house.""What other house?" I frowned, fixing my earrings. She rolled her eyes. "Matteo and Rowan's, of course.""Shut up.""Anyway, real talk. Are we throwing the party or not?""We're not in college anymore, Jules.""Yeah, but we're still young. We are twenty-three, Cassie. Not fifty.""T

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I watched nervously as a big smile came on Justina's face. "Which one? Matteo or Rowan? I like Matteo better even if he's kind of moody."Oh, yeah. Justina was the one person that could tell them apart because of how much time she spent with Matteo."She said them, Tina," Lauretta smirked. "That's why I'm asking who!" She frowned."Wait," Nicholas suddenly interrupted as realization dawned on him. "You're dating two of them? At once?"I nodded hesitantly."How? How does that even work?""Let's just say it's like when men get married to two wives. Polygamy." Lauretta explained. It seemed like she wasn't irritated by the idea. If I didn't know better, I'd say she was intrigued."Well, polyamory in this case.""Do they know?" Nicholas asked again."Know what?""That you're dating both of them?""Of course, they do.""Wow," he leaned back in his seat. He was taking this better than I expected him to. "That's just— wow.""Doesn't it feel weird? Both of them having

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I knew I said I wanted to keep the past in the past but there was something that sparked in me that day; the day I had that conversation with Matteo and Rowan about my mother.It got me wondering. Was she alive? Was she doing well? Was she married?She had been very young when she had me. It probably didn't help that my dad died shortly after. I didn't know if that was what propelled her bad decisions concerning her life.She didn't talk much about my father. All she said was that he was a Korean who came to America for college. His family was supposedly rich but when she reached out to them, they didn't believe she was impregnated by their late son.Thinking about it now, they were probably still grieving and couldn't process the thought of their son having offspring.That being said, I didn't know my father's name or anything else about him, but I did know my mother's name. It wasn't a wonder I still remembered it because she couldn't be bothered to give me a

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I heard my room door open but I didn't turn around to see who it was.Soon enough, my bed dipped and someone put his arm around my waist.I sighed in relief as Matteo pulled me against his body.For a few seconds, we just lay there silently until Matteo broke it. "What happened to your laptop, baby?"Fuck. I had forgotten about that. Now, I had to add that to the list of things I needed to buy. "My hand slipped. Sorry." I didn't know what I was apologizing for but I was still in my head about my mother."It's okay, love. I'll get you a new one."I didn't have the energy to argue with him on that and I had also learned that arguing with Matteo was useless. When he put his mind to something, there was no stopping him. He had put his mind to spoiling me with his money and there was nothing I could do about it. He said it was his love language."Rowan also wanted to come," Matteo spoke again when we had been silent for too long. He probably thought I was thinking a

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I woke up before my alarm could ring, unable to ignore the erection pressing against my ass.Matteo had ended up sleeping over while Rowan had called to make sure I was okay.Rowan and Matteo had brought out a sexual appetite in me I never knew I had because I found myself rubbing my ass against his dick.I could feel it stirring even if he wasn't awake. I wondered how he would feel if he woke up to a blow job. I opened my eyes, looking through the small gap in the curtains to see that it was still dark outside. My eyes drifted to the digital clock. It was only past five.Matteo and I had slept early last night. I wanted him to distract me with more sex but he refused. It was annoying but I couldn't force myself on him. I ended up thinking back to my mother and I found myself crying. Matteo was there to hold me until I finally fell asleep.I felt stupid but I couldn't help my emotions.It was dark inside the room so I turned on the lamp.Matteo was sleeping p

    Matteo Valentino~•~Cassandra released a loud moan as soon as I entered her.While everyone was likely asleep, we still couldn't risk waking them up because we were having sex."You have to be quiet, baby," I instructed, staying still inside her. I didn't know how she was always so tight. It drove me crazy."I— fuck. Just move.""As you wish, Cara."I pulled out my cock completely and slammed inside her again."Fuck!"Knowing she wasn't going to be able to keep quiet, I pulled out and turned her around so she was laying on her stomach with little to no effort.She yelped at the sudden movement but moaned as I thrust into her again. Fuck. How I loved burying my cock in her sweet pussy.Cassandra was such a brave girl. She had been through so much yet she still wanted to be involved with people like me and my brother.We caused pain for pleasure and she had already been through a great deal of pain. I didn't want to add to it. I really didn't want to hurt her but when she opened her di

    Rowan Valentino~•~"Are you sure we should be here without telling her first?" I asked my brother, halting his fist that was about to meet the door."We called her numerously and she didn't answer. We don't have another choice.""Who knows what she could be doing?""Exactly. Who knows?" He emphasized. When he came back home this morning, he told me that Cassie was pretty bummed out yesterday. It annoyed me to find out that she was feeling that way because of her excuse of a mother but there wasn't much we could do about it."Fine."As soon as the word left my lips, he knocked on the door before pressing the doorbell.It took seconds before the door was pulled open. It was Justina.She wrapped her arms around Matteo's waist and did the same to me. "We brought something for you," I told her and she grinned with enthusiasm."What is it?"I nodded to Rowan and he handed the wrapped box to her. I could see the curiosity on her face as she took the box from him. "Thank you so much!" Then,

    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
