Thea"Where is he?" I asked panting heavily. "I want to see him now! Take me to Carl." I yelled getting restless. He was telling me that the man I saw him pull his trigger on was still alive, how was that even possible? I had begged Angel back when he found me to have his men check on Carl but he blatantly refused. Had he been pretending all along because of his anger towards me?"Thea, you need to remain calm. I promise you, you're going to see Carl." Caspian said stepping forward while Angel dipped his head avoiding my gaze. I narrowed a look at Caspian with tears glistening in my eyes. I had nothing but gratitude within me, for the fact Carl that was alive. The feeling was overwhelming knowing that I had counted my days in guilt of what happened to him. I felt like a great burden was lifted from my chest."We can go now if you want." Caspian continued and I nodded severally impatient to have my feet racing. "Hurry, take me to him." I said hastily and Caspian led the way. I hurrie
As Angel worked towards picking the pieces of his life he had messed up, mending them and righting his wrong while having revenge at the back of his mind, Sparrow on the other hand was trying to save his head. Despite knowing the consequences of his actions, he let his ego and hatred for Angel cloud his judgment. He let foolishness take the place of wisdom and had been living in ever since then.None of his allies were ready to help him despite his mouthwatering offers and promises. Apparently, he didn't know that the mafia laws were that important and no one wanted to be considered as an outcast just like him. He was all alone except he had a father who was also one of the most influential man in the business."Where is the damned old man!" He spat from his seat as he waited for Don Ricardo in the waiting room of his mansion. "Boss, you need to calm down. We are here for your father's help. Someone could have heard you." Jav, one of his closest men warned as he stood beside him. "
The men had remained silent about that day, when they got rid of sparrow's men. Even though Camilo and Cassie had tried to get the words out of their mouth, they wouldn't bulge because to them the ladies weren't ready for the truth and because they needed to sheild them from such reality. As promised, Caspian had arranged for Theo to meet his sister and Camilo on the other hand was worried yet excited to meet her brother. It bothered her because she knew what questions her brother would ask her and the answers would certainly shock him. She could only hope that when the time came she would be able to handle his reaction. In the light of it, she decided to bake some cookies for him. It had been ages since he had something that she had prepared. Thea and Cassie offered to help and what was supposed to be a gift for her brother turned out to be a snack for everyone."Wrap the plates like this." She instructed the ladies showing them how to seal up the cookies neatly. "I got it this
Caspian led Camilo to see her brother, he watched them briefly as they had a lovely reunion even better than the last time they had seen. He felt a little guilty seeing how much Theo adored Camilo. He could tell that Camilo meant everything to him too and that was why he risked his life to pay off his debts. He knew it would hurt Theo a lot once Camilo admitted to her feelings but It needed to be said. He left briefly with the intention of returning later. Even though he wasn't supposed to, he was going to stay close should Theo act out of order during the reveal. He went to meet Irene, Camilo didn't trust Lucia and he would do anything just to make her feel comfortable. "What? You want me to fire Lucia?" Irene said in shock. She was in charge of the domestic staffs and right from the former Don's time, her decision on who to employ and let go was always respected and now Caspian was trying to influence that. "I have my reasons I hope you can understand that." He spoke calmly se
"Are you in love with that bastard Camilo?" He finally said the words and she burst out more in tears moving close to him to touch him. He pulled his hand from her pointing a warning finger at her. His eyes were shut as he tried to process the feelings that swarm into his heart. "You're not in love with him Camilo. You're my sister, and he is our enemy." He said grabbing her shoulders and his gaze boring into hers."Theo I swear to you. I tried to fight it...."No! No Camilo! You don't love him, tell me you don't love him!" He yelled panting heavily. Camilo couldn't utter a word again so she fell to her knees letting her tears drench her. "I... I didn't mean to betray you this way Theo. I swear it, I didn't. I never wanted this to happen but I just couldn't stop it, no matter how hard I tried....""Stop talking, just stop talking!" He yelled and went to take one of the stools in the room. He was raging and threw the stool across the room destroying more things."Theo!" Camilo yelle
CassieI took two plates of sealed cookies from the table, one for Knight and the other for Angel. Camilo's comment about my cloth still got me blushing and I thought of how Knight would react when he saw me. I hastened my steps to Angel's office after I was told he had been there all day, poor guy, he couldn't afford to run into Thea now that he had made his decision to let her go. I knew he was deliberately delaying the news so that he could have Thea around a little longer. With a wide smile on my face I got to his office only to be told that he had left a while ago.I sighed feeling disappointed but went ahead to drop the cookies on his table, I left a note on top of it letting him know I was the one who brought it. Let's just say I added 'I love you' to the the note. Now I had one more cookie to deliver and my heart was acting up, pounding loud against my ribcage. I felt my face turn red as well as a blush crept to the surface. My fingers tickled over the round edge of the pl
CassieI turned away with my lips still spread in shock then I shut my eyes giving an embarrassing expression which Florentine got to see. I dipped my head slightly swearing within myself, I didn't want to head back to my room because I believed he would look for me there or maybe he did already. "There you are...." I heard Knight speak and I gave Florentine a pleading look asking her to help me out but she shrugged backing out before I could convince her further. "I thought we were to have the cookies together. I was surprised to see you left already ... Even without telling me." He stressed the last words, laying emphasis. I could feel him standing behind me now and I felt nervous. "You were in his room?" Florentine whispered shocked and amused at the same time. I gave her an eye sign not to speak of it any further as Knight now stood before us. "Cassandra?" He called my name in full and that gave me chills. I cleared my throat getting ready to make an excuse."I didn't tell you
"Seeing me naked, did you like what you saw?"I gasped, my lips parting in shock at his bluntness. How the fuck did that just come out of his mouth? I blinked severely staring at his amused face. He was bold and it was fucking hot. "I..eh...." I shut my mouth back giving up whatever I had to say. The images of his naked body in the shower flooded my head, the way he looked at me and smiled and the way he was staring at me now got me scared. I looked at the door and back to him and his eyes warned me not to think about it. "What are you going to do to me?" I said seeing no choice left for me here. He warned me yet I dared him by coming here. I had myself to blame. "I'm not sure Cassandra. You came here even after I warned you." He said and another gasp leaves my throat and my body tremble slightly. I feel scared amidst my excitement. Simply put, I was overwhelmed that I couldn't take all this heat. "Knight..." I whisper and try to free my legs from his enclosure but he presses his
