"How do I look?" I asked when Jules had finished covering up the bruise on my face with makeup. I had an interview today. I couldn't let Rafael's antics mess up my chance of a job when it was hard to find one.

"Not like you were just beaten by your boyfriend, that's for sure."

I shook my head softly. "Not now, Jules. You can scold me when I'm back."

I assessed my face in the mirror and it looked good. As Jules said, there was no sign of a bruise. I didn't even want to think about it as I knew going home to my father would result in a bigger bruise. I didn't have any choice but to go though because if I didn't, he would transfer the aggression to my younger siblings.

I had three siblings and none of us were biologically related. We were all under foster care by our foster father. Well, at least, I was until I turned eighteen and left for college, but I couldn't leave my siblings alone with that monster of a man.

They were too young to be getting abused. There

    Rowan Valentino~•~Matteo can be annoying at times.Usually, he was an early bird and always came to work before me, but when I reached the office this morning, his was empty."Has my brother come in?" I asked the secretary."No, sir." He shook his head, a scared look on his face. I didn't know why he was so scared of us. Sure we were strict and quite ruthless when it came to business, but that didn't mean we went around, snapping at anyone we come across.I nodded and made my way into my office, dialing Matteo's number. At first, he didn't answer, but after I called the second time, he answered on the first ring. "Why are you calling me?"I ignored his question. "Did you fuck the girl last night?" He was brutal when it came to sex and if he was fucking a girl, there was a possibility that it could take all night.Matteo immediately knew who I was talking about. "No, I didn't, although I wish I did."That was a first. While it was hard to find a long-term slave, it was easy to get la

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~I'd only made it out the door when I felt my hand being pulled back inside the room. I squealed in surprise as he closed the door after us, backing me up against it.His eyes settled on the rise and fall of my breasts as I squirmed, locked in his arms. Slowly, he raised his gaze to my face, confusion etched on his. "Are you scared of me?" He asked softly. "Why are you running?"There was no trace of recognition in his eyes. I bit down on my lip, feeling stupid. Maybe, he wasn't even planning to call. It was only last night and he had already forgotten my face. I felt his thumb on my lip and my breathing accelerated. I felt even more stupid reacting to his touch, but there was something about him that made my heart race. It was a foreign feeling. If I had known he was the boss of the company, I would've forfeited my interview.He pulled my bottom lip from my teeth. "Don't do that." He warned, pressing against me and my eyes widened when I felt his bulge on my c

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"Matteo?" I asked to be sure and he nodded slowly, still surprised at the sight of me on his desk. I looked between the two brothers. Rowan was wearing a proud smirk while Matteo was still trying to process the whole thing."Did you come looking for me or something?""No." I shook my head. "I c-came for the interview and I—" a hiccup interrupted me, "thought he was you and and I—" my words failed me as short sobs racked through my body. I was crying, but I didn't know why I was crying. Matteo would think I was a whore after I told him I had a boyfriend yesterday."What the fuck did you do to her?" Matteo asked Rowan and through my blurry sight, I saw him approach me, settling in between my legs. Right where Rowan had just been. I cried even harder. "What's wrong, Cara? Why are you crying? What did you do?" He directed at Rowan again, his voice hard."Nothing bad, I hope." Even Rowan was confused at this point. "I only gave her an orgasm."Hearing him say it mad

    Matteo Valentino~•~I offered to escort Cassandra downstairs, but she refused so I saw her off to the elevator. As soon as it closed and began moving, I released a breath and turned around, heading back for my office.Rowan was still there when I arrived. I sighed, rounding the table to sit on my chair. "Really, Rowan?""What?" He smirked, already knowing what I was talking about."You had ten seconds with the girl and you already finger fucked her." In truth, I was jealous because the only thing I got from her was a kiss. Rowan was a lucky bastard. "How did you even know she was the one I met yesterday?""Well, she ran when she saw me. She thought I was you."As expected. I scoffed. It bothered me sometimes that we shared the same face. "So what? You drag her in here and remove her panties?"His smirk widened. "No. She was turned on by me, so I decided to help her." I didn't know why women were attracted to both of us at the same time, but it definitely helped with our kink. Was it

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"So, did you get the job?" Jules asked immediately I opened her door and stepped in to see her sitting on her couch with a book."Yes," I nodded."Yes!" She echoed, dropping her book to give me a congratulatory hug. She was more excited about the fact that I wouldn't have to depend on Rafael anymore because the pay at Val Inc would be generous."I saw him." I breathed out, making her pull away from me in confusion."You saw who?""The man from yesterday, Jules. The man that kissed me.""Oh my fucking God!" Jules exclaimed. "Tell me he's your new boss. Ah, this is too exciting. It's like a romance novel already.""He is," I confirmed and she let out a deafening squeal. "And he has a twin." I walked to the couch and plopped on it, still trying to wrap my head around what happened in Matteo's office. It was overwhelming being around two dominant men, but it gave me a rush I'd never imagined experiencing. "And they both want me."She blinked, stunned. "What?""That

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~Jules and I stared at the screen, trying to make sense of the unknown number calling."Do you think it's him?" I asked her quietly because I wouldn't put it past Rafael to call me with someone else's phone as he knows I wouldn't answer his call.Jules shrugged. "Only one way to find out."Nodding, I swiped answer. If it was Rafael, I'd simply hang up, no big deal. "Hello?""Cara."My eyes went wide. "Matteo?""Yeah," he chuckled at my surprised tone."W-why are you calling me?" I locked gazes with my best friend and her expression told me she was curious as well. I put the phone on speaker."About Friday," he started, clearing his throat. "Is it okay if we take you shopping so we can doll you up in things we'd like for you to wear to the club?""Uh…""We're not forcing you into it or anything. You can wear what you like." He quickly clarified.Jules however, was nodding aggressively beside me, urging me to say yes. I thought about it. I wasn't even sure I had an

    Cassandra Salvatore~•~"I think I should go apartment hunting today." Jules turned around from where she was making omelets. "Are you strong enough to find one today?"I shrugged, sipping on my coffee. I couldn't sleep much last night because my body was so sore after my run-in with my father two days ago. I'd had one day to rest and since I'd already gotten a job, it would be good to find an apartment where I could bring my siblings with me. Besides, I was going to be paid weekly."I can't go back to that house, Jules," I whispered. It was a miracle I made it out of there alive with how enraged my father was. I was certain I wouldn't be able to sit up straight if I didn't run out in time. He loved Rafael so much because Rafael gave him money sometimes that he ended up gambling away.Nicholas's distraction was what made my escape possible, and for once, I was grateful he was around. Thankfully, he didn't suffer the consequences of his actions. When I called Lauretta, she said he was

    Rowan Valentino~•~Not going to lie, I was a little bit put off when Matteo told me our girl wouldn't be able to make it on Wednesday.I was eager to see her and when Matteo informed me that he'd set up a way to meet with her only for that day to come and she wasn't able to show up.I couldn't help but be curious about why she was looking for an apartment. If she would let me, I would help her find one and pay for it as well. Hell, I would buy her a house if she would let me.I didn't know what it was about her, but I craved her presence. After practically watching her fall apart in my brother's arms, I wanted to protect her from the world. I didn't want to see her cry again because, for some reason, it didn't sit well with me.I'd never been this interested in a woman before. I barely knew her. I only had the opportunity to meet her once and I was totally smitten. I was probably moving too fast when I made her cum on my brother's desk, but I couldn't care less. I wanted her to be mi

    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
