Lost And Found By The Billionaire 10. Why are you doing this?
When it was finally time for discharge, Kelly had an emergency. “There’s an important meeting I need to attend, Cassie.” She said, “Do you think you’ll manage on your own with Enzo?” By this point, all the essential paperwork had been taken care of and my IV line was removed. I was prescribed oral medication for the next few days, and there was absolutely nothing to worry about. However, as part of the protocol, I had given some blood tests and we were awaiting the results of those. In the meanwhile, Enzo spoke to me about my relationship with Calvin and on what basis he was filing for the divorce. After spending a couple of hours with him, I realized that he was genuinely good at his job and hiring him would help me get a fair share of bargain during the divorce proceedings. He also managed to help me ease into the conversation very quickly, and before I realized, I was opening up to him about a lot of things. Thanks to Kelly, I managed to develop a healthy acquaintance with him i

Angst filled me at once as I looked at the gun. My first instinct was to run or flee from the place, but somehow I remained rooted in my place. I was perplexed and astonished, so much so that my brain just froze, no primitive protective reflexes kicking in. Before I could do anything, I felt the sound of metal clinking and suddenly, my hands were taken behind me and my wrists were locked. It was then that I realized that I was handcuffed. Fighting against the metal confines, I finally broke out of my trance and looked at the police officers in horror. “What's the meaning of this?” I said, “Get me out of these!” “Ma’am, I suggest that you cooperate with us and come to the police station.” One of the older gentlemen said, giving me a nasty look. “No!” I yelled, “Why am I arrested? I didn’t do anything!” “Ma’am, you’re booked under the charge of attempted murder. We have received a complaint that you attempted to kill Miss Becky Reeds. The complaint came from your own husband, so w

The old officer reluctantly got up from his seat, murmuring something to myself in annoyance. Shoving the recording device into his pocket, he left the room and banged it shut. I heaved a sigh of relief at departure, my heart finally calming down. Thank God Enzo was here. I would not have been able to handle this myself. It came as such a shock to me as I’d never imagined that Calvin could go to such an extent to punish me. In retrospect, I realized that my encounter with Becky and him in the hospital could have been the cause for all of this. He looked visibly angry with my words and actions, and I could only imagine all the lies she fed him after I’d left. Driven by anger, he might have reported me to the police, seeking some form of revenge from me. There was a knock on the door right then, and it opened shortly after. I instantly sank back in my seat as Enzo walked in, shutting the door behind him. I could feel the grimace that was forming on my face as he took a seat in front o

Calvin’s POV Just as my car pulled into my porch, I got a phone call. My lips pursed when I read that it was none other than Kelly, Cassie’s best friend. Leaving a grunt, I sat unmoving in my spot, contemplating if I should take the call or not. Before I could make up my mind, the call disconnected, and I let out a sigh of relief. “Something the matter, sir?” said Gavin, my chauffeur, noticing that I was not getting out of the car despite reaching home. “Nothing.” I said, snapping out of my thoughts. As I opened the door and got down, my phone started buzzing again with the same phone call. Seeing that there was little use in dodging her calls, I finally picked it up. “Hello?” I said, staring at the dark night sky. It was pretty late in the night, way beyond midnight, so I hoped that she was calling for a good reason at this ungodly hour. “What is wrong with you?” She demanded at once, taking me aback. “Excuse me?” I said, frowning to myself whilst waving a hand of dismissal t

Calvin’s POV My father’s words echoed in my mind all night long, so much so that I couldn’t catch even a second’s worth of sleep. I was so taken with my own anger and resentment with her that I had completely forgotten the business equation our marriage brought into the picture. My father was right. It was true that it was her father’s money in our company that was keeping us alive. Arnold Harper was a real estate tycoon who was rather successful in business. Merely being associated with his brand name helped us tremendously, and being married to his daughter definitely gave us a much needed boost. While most of our investors were pulling their money during our tough times, it was Arnold Harper that remained loyal to us, although it was damaging his company. However, now that I put his daughter in prison, I don't know how he would react to the news. I hoped that he wouldn’t be too pissed with me and pull out the money. The damage was already done and I didn’t know how to fix it yet

Cassie’s POVAs we pulled up in front of my parents' house, a wave of nostalgia hit me. It was right in the center of the city, yet it felt like a peaceful world of its own, far removed from the noise and chaos outside. It was my little escape. The mansion wasn’t just home to my family—it was also where the staff lived, the people I’d spent most of my childhood with. It was one of the biggest estates in the city, owned by one of the wealthiest men in the country: my dad, Arnold Harper.To the outside world, I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Sure, I was adopted, but my earliest memories were all from this house. People always looked at me with envy, assuming I had the perfect childhood, but I couldn’t help but laugh. My childhood was anything but perfect. Even though I wasn’t born into this family, I always felt the love of a child who was chosen.The truth was, my family was always distant, and that mainly came from my mom and sister, who, to this day, still couldn’t accept

“B-but Mom..” I stammered, “Where else will I go? I have nowhere-” “Well, that’s not my problem.” She said, throwing her hands up. “I’m surprised you think you still have a place in this house. The day you married your husband, you were left on your own. And after the disgrace you brought to this family by trying to kill your own best friend.. We’d be foolish to accept you back into the family.” “Mom! At least you have to believe that they are merely rumors!” “I don’t care!” She yelled, “Your name has been all over the media, Cassie! Do you know how much damage you’ve done to the company? We’ve had enough of your bullshit troubling us. Please leave, Cassie! I don’t want anyone to believe that we are supporting this behavior of yours!” Tears were streaming down my face at this point. I couldn’t believe that my own mother was such things to me. How could she leave me on the streets like this?“Mom, please don’t do this.” I said, “I need your help. And where is dad? I need to speak t

Enzo’s house was nothing like what I’d expected it to be. Being such a successful lawyer, I’d expected nothing short of a luxurious penthouse apartment in New York. And rightly so, that was where he lived. His penthouse was on the 46th floor, revealing a magnificent view of the city from the skies. However, the house was rather… empty. It had a huge living room with a gray sofa set without any TV. There were absolutely no paintings hung on the walls, which was strange because after seeing how much he was willing to spend for a painting in that auction, I’d expected him to be a collector. As I ventured further into the house, I saw a lifeless kitchen with the same gray furniture. I couldn’t help but sigh at the state of the house. Despite having such an advantage of natural light and the overlooking city view, the house looked dead to me. There were two rooms in the apartment and another small room for storage, I assumed. Enzo said that his room also had a computer, so he mostly us

“There you are.” Calvin said as he finally spotted me by the gazebo. I widened my eyes, looking at the girl in surprise. How did he find us? “Are you done with your little walk? You’ve been at it for almost twenty minutes.” He said, folding his arms across his chest. “Well, I wanted to see the place.” I said. “Isn’t that why we’re here?” “In case you’ve forgotten, we have work to do, Cassie.” He said, “And it is urgent. It cannot wait anymore.” “Well, then you may get to it. As I’m still in the mood for some… seeing around.” From the looks of it, I could tell that he was growing rather impatient. Ever since I came back from the changing room, I have been acting distant from him. I made the effort to escape from him multiple times, and I was sure he picked up on it.“No, Cassie.” He said, “You’ve had enough. Now, you’re going to listen to me and do as I say.” I scoffed, “Yeah, I don’t think so, Calvin.” I was about to turn around and leave when he caught my wrist, whirling me a

I glared at Calvin's face as he spoke to Mr Clark on my side. He was seated across from me, but I couldn’t wait to put more distance between us. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.It had been a week since my fall out with Enzo. We were barely on talking terms, and I couldn’t even blame him for it. Last night, I told him that I declined the offer to go to the UK, and Enzo just nodded at that. He was still upset at me for how things turned out at the dinner that day. “Cassie, you’re coming with us?” Mr Clark asked, snapping me out of my thoughts. “I’m sorry, what?” I asked, frowning. Where was he going? “To Mr Anderson’s office.” He said, “We’ve discussed it, right?” We did? I must have zoned out. I quickly got up to stand, “Yeah, let’s go.” Once we got into the car, Calvin decided to get behind the wheel, with me in the passenger seat and Mr Clark in the back. As the both of them talked, I couldn’t help but notice how miserable I felt the last few days. It was not ju

For the first time ever, Enzo didn’t show up to pick me up. I waited for an hour before I decided to take a cab to my venue, after several of my messages went unanswered. If he had no intention of showing up, why did he promise? I felt tears prick at my eyes then. It was going to be so embarrassing for me. Stood up by my partner after the team was so excited to meet him. How could Enzo be so negligent? He could’ve dropped me a bloody text! “Hey, guys!” I said, spotting Melissa by the table. Her partner was by her side and a couple others from my team. “Cassie, where’s your date?” I gave her a sorry look, “Sorry to disappoint you, Enzo is-“ Right then, I felt a hand snake around my waist. And the touch was too familiar. “Sorry, I’m late.” Enzo’s voice chimed in my ear. “Oh,” I said, turning around in surprise. “Wait, you guys didn't come together?” Melissa asked in surprise. “No, I was running late because of a last minute meeting.” Enzo said with a polite smile. “I’m Enzo, b
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 155. An excuse
The 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
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 151. That serious?
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
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 150. This was my business
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
