Cassandra Salvatore~•~"Cassie, love. I'm getting more worried now." Jules admitted after hearing me laugh. "And if I stay here for too long, your siblings might come up here looking for me."I shook my head immediately. "What? No. I don't want them to see me like this.""Then, tell me what happened, so I know what to do." Her blue eyes were staring at me intensely and they were shining with worry.I took a deep breath. It was selfish of me to make her worry like that. "I've told you, Jules. You can't do anything.""Just tell me anyway."It wouldn't hurt to tell her. If I could tell Matteo and Rowan's sister, why couldn't I tell my best friend?"I saw my mother yesterday."Jules' eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What?""My birth mom. The one I told you about the other day."An unbelievable scoff escaped Jules' lips. "You're not serious." I gave her a deadpan look and she shook her head. "But how? Where? Was she at the club?""God, no. Ew.""Yeah, ew. But go on.""Well, I saw her at h

Cassandra Salvatore~•~"Wow, you really aren't going to work today?" Jules asked sitting down beside me on the couch. My siblings had gone to school and it was just me and Jules at home.Just as she said that I received a text.[Matteo: I take it you aren't coming to work then. Stay safe. We'll talk when you're ready]I scoffed, turning my phone upside down so the screen wasn't facing me. "We're taking a break," I announced, gathering my hair up in a ponytail. I looked over at my friend to give her a smile but the expression on her face had me pausing. "W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?""I know your relationship with Rafael was an ass, so this your first real relationship, but honey, a break is never just a break.""What do you mean?" I frowned, trying to make sense of what she was saying."A break is as good as a break-up.""I don't want to break up!""I know. Did they tell you you guys are taking a break?"I paused, biting my lip in guilt. "No, I just said it."Jules'

Cassandra Salvatore~•~"The party is about to start and you aren't even dressed yet!" Jules burst into my room, already complaining.I sighed as I focused on polishing my nails. It was just something to keep me busy while Jules planned her party to keep her kind of her book. "It'll take less than a minute for me to get ready, Jules. Go do your thing."Jules eyed me warily. "Are you sure?""My costume isn't complicated. I'll be down in a few minutes.""Fine." She breathed out as she left my room.I wasn't lying when I said my costume wasn't complicated because it wasn't. Hell, it wasn't even a costume.I didn't have one.When Jules had demanded I should go costume shopping with her, I'd lied that I already had one because I wasn't feeling like shopping. I didn't even like shopping.The only point of shopping was to spend time with my family and friends and I could do that in other ways.As planned, I'd started seeing a therapist. A different one whose office wasn't anywhere close to m

Cassandra Salvatore~•~"You're jumpy," Jules whispered in my ear, making sure our other friends wouldn't hear. She was dressed as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. "Are you sure I shouldn't invite Matteo and Rowan?""Positive." I shook my head at her suggestion. "Besides, it'd be too late. Who invites someone when the party has already begun?"Her eyes trailed across my face as if searching for doubt.I sighed internally. "Excuse me."I didn't wait for them to respond before I took my leave.I let out a breath as I ambled to the kitchen. I went straight to the fridge and got out bottled water for myself.As I turned back around while I opened the cap, I saw him again.He was standing in front of me and it caught me by surprise.I narrowed my eyes at him. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I spat out. "Are you stalking me?"Rafael's eyebrows creased as if he was confused. "Stalking you? What? Why would I do that?"I arched an eyebrow. Was that a legit question? Did he actually expect me to

Rowan Valentino~•~"Why wouldn't she invite us though?""What do you think, Rowan?""I don't think anything, Matteo. That's why I'm asking."Matteo sighed, looking up at me. "You have to stop worrying about this.""Stop worrying? We haven't heard from her since she ran out of our house on Saturday. That's a week ago, brother."My brother kissed his teeth. "We're giving her space, remember?""Too much space, apparently," I said bitterly, glancing at the picture on my phone again. It was one of Cassie and Jules, dressed up for Halloween. They had taken the picture on Thursday night but Cassie was just posting it.She posted it on a new Instagram account. I didn't know what to make of that."Fine. Let's give her a few more days and we'll go to her, okay?""Fine." I gritted out even if I wasn't satisfied with the decision. I just didn't want to go to her and have her run away from us forever.I didn't want to lose her.My concentration was finally taken off my phone when our older broth

Rowan Valentino~•~"Should we be expecting you to bring a woman home anytime soon?" Mother asked as we finished eating.Damon bit his lip in annoyance. "Why don't you hound Matteo and Rowan about marriage as well?""You're their older brother. They look up to you. You have to live by example."Damon shot lasers at us with his eyes when Matteo and I chuckled under our breaths. "Well, ma, I'm not ready for marriage.""Are you sure?" Her voice softened. "If you're seeing someone, no matter who it is, you can tell us. You know we won't judge. Your brothers are with one woman.""And you are not entirely comfortable with that," I added."That doesn't mean I try to stop you. As long as it makes you happy.""How many times will I tell you all that I am not gay? Trust me, if I was, you'd know."Tasha snickered. While we all teased Damon about it, my mom actually believed that Damon was gay and was dating his best friend. According to her, that was the only plausible excuse for him being singl

Matteo Valentino~•~The door to my childhood bedroom burst open and I got ready to glare at the culprit."You won't fucking believe it." My twin brother said as he approached my bed."What's up?""Cassie. That's what's up."That got my attention fast. I sat up on the bed and the sheets fell to my waist. "Is something wrong with her?""That guy, Rafael. Did she tell you they were old friends?"I thought back to the night when I met the guy. "He introduced himself to me as an old friend. She didn't dispute it. What's wrong?""Well, the guy happens to be her ex-boyfriend. The one she was with when she first met us.""You won't be this angry if that was the only problem.""The day I went to pick her friend up from their apartment to go look at the house, he was there. He chased Jules out of the building and I caught a glimpse of him then, but Cassie said he's not a problem."My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Why would Cassie lie to us like that? If he was stalking her, he was dangerous

Cassandra Salvatore~•~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

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
