Despite being a devoted and loving wife, Cassandra finds herself on the streets after her Husband divorces her to be with her bestfriend. When she goes to her family for help, they close the doors on her, leaving her alone in this cruel world. That is until he finds her. Enzo DeLuca is one of the richest and most successful CEOs in the city, and he is a man that never goes wrong. However, if there is one regret that Enzo has in his life, it is that he once lost Cassandra, the only woman he loved. So when life gave him another chance with her, he was ready to do everything to save her, even if it meant going against the most powerful people in the city. There was not a chance in hell he would let her go now, no matter what it took.
View MoreThe next morning, I looked at Enzo expectantly. We barely spoke yesterday and he spent most of his time inside his office room. So when we were getting ready for work now, I hoped that he would be the first person to break the ice. But now, it seemed like he had no intention. I wondered why he was so upset with me. Was Calvin really such a trigger for him? Was I pushing his buttons by hanging out with Calvin? Whose mistake was it? “I need a ride to the office this morning.” I said, having had enough. “Would you mind?” “Of course, not.” He mumbled, straightening his tie. He didn’t even look at me as he spoke. “Enzo, what’s the matter?” I said, “Are you still upset with me?” He didn’t say anything for a while, “Just something on my mind.” “Well, what is it?” I said, “Tell me. Maybe I can help.” He let go of his tie then and walked to his desk. And then, he grabbed a file from it and brought it to me. “What is this?” I asked. “It’s a file from my friend Ray’s company. He wants
“Bye, Cassie. See you at the office tomorrow.” Calvin smirked. He got up from his seat and grabbed his bag, making his way toward his car. And within a minute, he was out of my sight. And as if on cue, Enzo’s car drove in. I could not help but sigh with relief. I was not in the mood to explain to Enzo what Calvin was doing here. I had given him enough reason to be upset about my working arrangement. He didn’t need to know that Mr Ashford was also on Calvin’s side. We didn’t spend long after breakfast. I didn’t want to, so I made up an excuse that I was feeling sick and let Enzo drive me back home. “You seemed eager to get out of there.” Enzo mused, reaching for my hand in my lap. “Yeah, it was a bit too much.” I said, “I needed a break.” “Is that all?” He said, “Or has it got to do anything with the fact that Calvin was there?” I stiffened, glancing at him slowly. As soon as he registered the look on his face, his question was cleared.“Right, so it was him.” Enzo said, “What
Cassie’s POV After the not so pleasing lunch, the rest of the day did get better. Perhaps because I only spent most of it with Mrs Ashford. She was a sweet and patient woman. She had an answer to every question I asked, and she did plan the day well to keep me entertained. However, the Ashfords went to bed early, so after having an early supper, I was ushered into my room. I was offered to sleep in my mother’s room, but I was too weirded out by the idea to accept it. Hence, I found myself mindlessly scrolling instagram in the guest bedroom at nine thirty. Right then, I realized that I missed Enzo terribly. He was always around to keep me entertained or atleast to give me a nice orgasm at the end of the day. I didn’t know who I missed more, him or his fingers. I opened Whatsapp and shot him a message. ‘What are you doing?” - CassieHe instantly saw the message and sent me a picture. As I downloaded it, I saw that it was a picture of a whiskey glass on a bar table. ‘Nice. Wish I
Enzo’s POV I looked up at him in surprise. “How do you know that?” He sighed, “It’s precisely why I’m here, Enzo.” I waited patiently as he took another sip from his whiskey, perhaps to knock the edge off of what’s coming. “Calvin Anderon is our biggest competitor right now.” He said, “And not just that. He was a partner with us before he decided to screw us over and send our company into losses.”“How did that happen? Did you not do a background check before signing with him?” “It was clean.” He said, “You see, when he was entering the Europe market, his was already an established player here in the states. Everybody was eager to sign a deal with him, and we were one of them. He had funding from Arnold Harper, one of the most trusted investors. So it was a no brainer. But things didn’t work out, and his company suffered huge losses. Harper pulled his investments, and Calvin was desperate to stay afloat. So he decided to screw us over, and took us down with him. This is probably
Enzo’s POV I watched as Raymond pushed a shot of whiskey in my direction. “Cheers, brother.” Smiling, I took the glass and clinked it against his. Raymond was an old pal of mine back when I was studying in the UK. While I flew back to the states to work here, Raymond took over his family business in London.We both led busy lives, so meeting each other frequently was no longer feasible. Unfortunately, we only made the time to meet each other when we desperately needed the other person’s help. I downed the drink in one go to kick start the evening, Ray following my cue. As the bitter liquid passed through my throat, I couldn't help but wince. “So what gets you here, Ray?” I asked, asking for another drink. Ray gave me a smirk, “Well, to meet you, of course.” I cocked my brow at him. “I know you only meet me when you need me for something.” “Can’t deny that.” He said with a hiss. “We gotta correct that man. Some might think we’re using each other.” I shrugged, “So let them. We’r
As the weekend rolled, Mr and Mrs Ashford invited me to their estate to spend a night there. Work was beginning to take up most of my time, and so was Calvin. I was sure that if I stayed in the city for longer, he might show up at my doorstep. Hence, I reluctantly accepted Ashford's invitation. But it was a bummer that Enzo could not accompany me there. “An old friend of mine is flying from the UK to visit me.” He said, “I haven’t seen him in a year, Cassie. I need to be here.”I couldn’t even fight him on this. Maybe I should have consulted with him before giving my commitment to the Ashfords. It was too late to cancel now. So here I was on a saturday, making my way to the Ashford’s estate alone. As expected, the Ashfords received me outside like I’m some child and ushered me inside. Once lunch was served, Mr Ashford began talking. “So, Cassandra.” He started, “When are you getting married?”The spoon I was holding fell down on the plate, breaking through the silence of the plac
Enzo almost made the impossible come true. Whether it was saving me from my past or hunting my father down and fixing an appointment with him, there seemed nothing he couldn’t do.A week ago when he told me about this, I could hardly believe it. After my mother managed to let me believe that my father was in a foreign country getting treatment for his ailment, I made peace with the fact that she would perhaps never let me meet him. Hence it took me a while to believe that Enzo had managed to find him. However, it wasn’t until now, where I’m standing outside a hotel, staring up at what could possibly be my father’s room, that I realized that this was real. I was indeed going to meet my dad. “What are you waiting for?” Enzo said, his arm coming around my body in a side hug.“I’m not ready.” I said, “What if he’s sick, Enzo? Really, really sick?” “Then he’d be glad to see his daughter.” He said, kissing my forehead. “Go on in. Make him happy. I’m sure he was waiting for this day.” “
I gotta repeat it. Melissa is a godsend. If her curiosity did not make her come looking for me, Calvin would have probably landed his disgusting lips on mine, making me want to kill myself. “Cassie?” She called as she opened the door, making Calvin jump at least three feet away from me. “Yes.” I said, louder than required to ensure that she heard me. As she walked inside, her eyes shifting between Calvin and me, she understood that one of us needed rescuing. “What are you doing here?” “Just wrapping up the meeting.” Calvin replied. “In here?” She asked, glancing around. It was a store room. “Wanted some privacy.” He said, “And we just got done.” “Great, so I guess I can grab Cassie?” “Of course.” I said, and walked out of the room before he could protest. Instead of the elevator, both of us took the stairs and headed into my office. Once inside, Melissa widened her eyes at me. “What the hell was he doing?” “I have no idea.” I said, “I was heading downstairs and the next t
I smiled at Melissa as she placed a coffee cup in front of me. She took the pain of bringing me coffee to my office room while she had a hundred other things to deal with in my absence. “Mel, you’re a godsend.” I said, bringing the coffee to my mouth. “I’m happy to help however I can.” She smiled. “How is your hand now?” I looked at my left hand, now devoid of the cast. “It’s much better. The doctor said I can come back to work now, so here I am.” “I’m glad.” She said, “But still, to let you ease in, I just scheduled a few meetings for you so you don’t have too much coding work. You can delegate that job to your juniors.” “I’ll see what I can do. I do have a meeting with Calvin, right?” Her lips formed a straight line, “Yes, I couldn’t avoid it. He was very adamant about it.” “It’s alright, I’ll handle it.” I said, with a wave of my hand. As Melissa left, I turned on my computer and tried to catch up on work. So much work was done in my absence, and although I tried to stay in
“You’re sleeping?!” My mother-in-law, Fiona's, voice boomed. I did not realize when I had managed to fall asleep on the couch. Piles of files and books lay scattered on the floor, most of which belonged to my husband Calvin. "Shit." I said and hurriedly got up on my feet, straightening my hair in the process. It’s been three years since I married Calvin, but I still couldn’t earn my mother-in-law's affections. “Who is going to clean all this mess if you’re going to sleep?” She glared. “Quick, get it all done before Calvin arrives. You know he hates it if things are out of order.” I sighed, "But Fiona, I just cleaned this room room yesterday..." She narrowed her eyes at me, "You didn't. You made the house help clean it and they did a very shitty job. Hence, I want you to clean it now."As I couldn’t dare to oppose her, I meekly complied. Fiona always found pleasure in knowing that I was miserable. She wanted to remind me everyday that I was fit for just doing household chores in...
