Cassie’s POV

“Here you go.” I grinned as I handed Mrs Price her credit card.

She just made a purchase of three of my paintings, rather expensive ones. I couldn’t be more happy.

“What a lovely start to the day.” Kelly said as she looked at the receipt.

“I know right?” I beamed, “The business is slowly picking up, Kelly. I feel like this was not a wrong move now.”

“Well, you ought to give it some time before you see anything fruitful.”

“I know, but I wonder if it is going to be sustainable in the long run.” I said, “You see, things were different when I started the studio.”

“Yes, you did not have a baby waiting to come out.” She said, “Speaking of which, how’s the morning sickness?”

“It’s awful. I can’t keep anything in, Kelly. Thankfully, the doctor gave me some medication for it, and it did get better after taking that.”

“Oh, yes. You went for a check up last week, right? How did it go?”

I shrugged, “Enzo was being Enzo. He still hates me for everything.”

“Oh, come on. Don’

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   131. I never was

    After a long day at work, I was just drifting into sleep when I heard someone thumping on the door. I got up at once in surprise, wondering what it could be. When I glanced at the clock, it read eleven. Who was at the door at this ungodly hour? Pushing the duvet off, I got out of the bed and walked to the door. “Who is it?” “It’s me, Cassie.” Enzo's voice came. “I need to talk to you. Open the door.” Widening my eyes, I unbolted the door. Despite the darkness, I could feel his piercing gaze on me. He didn’t wait for my invitation before he walked in. Closing the door behind us, I turned on the light. “What’s the matter?” I asked, “Why are you here, Enzo?” He turned around to hold up a paper in his hand, “What the fuck is this Cassie?” I frowned in confusion, but as I caught a glimpse of it, I realized what it was. It was the legal document my lawyer sent to him. “It’s to protect our rights.” “Protect our rights?” He spat out, “From who? Who is walking out there in the stree

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   1. A ghost from the past

    “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

    "Yes, mother." Jen said, "Cassie is the worst thing that could happen to our family. I mean, she is utterly useless. She doesn't keep Calvin happy. Even after three years of marriage, Calvin doesn't care about her. He wishes every day that he could marry Becky instead. How I wished it was Cassie that suffered in the accident instead of poor Becky." “I agree.” Fiona sighed, “For the past three years, I've been sick of waiting for an heir. Cassie is useless as it is, but I’d expected that she could at least give me a grandchild. She is honestly good for nothing.” Anger arose within me upon hearing her words. I didn’t know what came over me, perhaps it was the threat I felt in Becky waking up, or the false allegations of my incapability of childbearing, or that I was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally to tolerate them anymore, that I sought to give it back to them for once. Without giving it a second thought, I walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, ready to

    Ignoring me, he started to pull up my shirt. What was going on? Why was he trying to take my clothes off?"Calvin!" I said, grabbing his hands to stop him. "What are you doing?""Didn't you tell my mother that we haven’t been intimate lately?" he said, glaring at me. "I’m fixing that."I stepped back, disgusted. "No! That’s not what I meant! Fiona said—""I don’t care what she said, Cassie," he interrupted, moving closer. "I don’t want to look like an incompetent husband."He pulled me toward him again, but I slapped my hand over his mouth. "No, Calvin! This is ridiculous. I’m not doing this.""Why not?" he demanded. "You wanted a child to secure your place in the family, didn’t you?""Please. I don’t want this!" I cried, feeling the tears well up. He loosened his grip, giving me space to breathe. "I don’t want it like this. Not when you’re so angry at me.""You know I hate it when my mother gets involved in our private life. You promised to respect my privacy, but you told her everyt

    I gasped when I saw him. He looked stunning in his new tuxedo. I had always thought he was the most handsome man I’d met, but tonight, he looked even better."What the hell are you doing here?" He demanded as he came to stand beside me. "I asked you to go in as soon as you arrived." "I was talking to-" I turned my face to look at Mr De Luca, but to my surprise, he was nowhere to be found. He had left. "Talking to who?" Calvin asked in impatience. "We're already late, let's go." It hurt to see that his eyes didn’t show admiration like I hoped. He seemed indifferent. I had spent hours getting ready for him, but it felt like I didn’t matter at all."How do I look?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow and gave me a dismissive glance. "Appropriate. Shall we go?"I blushed, embarrassed, but I couldn’t let my tears ruin my makeup. I swallowed hard. "Yes."Grabbing my arm roughly, he dragged me inside with him. Right then, Calvin’s phone buzzed. He read the message, frowning. "What’s wrong?" I

    That night, I reached home very late. Yet, Calvin was nowhere to be seen. No matter how many times I called him, he diverted my calls to voicemail. Dejected, I went to bed alone, praying that he returned home safe the next morning.When I awoke the next morning, the house was surprisingly silent. Fiona and Jen have apparently gone out very early in the morning and didn’t come back. This might be the only good thing that happened today.After getting ready, I settled down by the breakfast table as the maid served me some food. It was my favorite; pancakes with maple syrup with a glass of orange juice on the side.“It tastes delicious. Thank you so much.” I smiled at my maid, “Did Calvin come home last night?”“No, ma’am.”“Did he inform any of you where he has been off to?”“Er.. yes, ma’am.” She muttered, “He rang us this morning to ask for some papers to be sent to Westwood hospital.”The spoon I was holding fell from my hand in surprise, clinking against the plate.

    “What?” My mind went blank.After a moment of silence, he said abruptly, “I need you to leave!”I clenched my fist, was that it? Since she was here, was he going to toss me out like a used tissue paper? I clenched my fists at my sides, staring at him in disbelief. I wasn’t some object he could toss aside when it no longer suited him. I had feelings, and I deserved far more respect than that.“What if I don’t agree to leave?” I said, taking one step closer to him. Calvin’s eyes widened in surprise as it was the first time in years that I dared to go against him. All these years, I’ve been silent because I was begging for his love and attention. I was hellbent on impressing him, and yet, despite so many efforts from my end, he chose to turn a blind eye toward me and only sought for Becky. If that was the case, then I no longer had to swallow my pride.“What’s wrong with you?” Calvin glowered, “Do you really think I’ll ever be happy married to you? Why would you want to be in a marriag

    "Calvin wants a divorce?" Kelly’s voice rose in shock, and she nearly dropped her coffee. We were sitting at a cafe, and after Calvin left, I realized I couldn’t keep fighting this battle alone. For years, I had dealt with our marriage struggles by myself, keeping it all hidden from even my best friend. But now, I needed to talk."Shh! Be quiet!" I hissed, glancing nervously at the coffee on the table. The cafe was crowded, and I started to worry this wasn’t the best place for such a conversation, but it was too late to change. I needed to get everything off my chest."It's going to be public soon anyway," Kelly shrugged, sipping her coffee, “Tell me everything.”I frowned, the thought of a divorce still stinging. "We’ve been fighting since day one," I said bitterly. "Everyone thought we were perfect, but it was all just for show. We were never happy."She raised an eyebrow. "But why? You and Calvin always seemed so… ideal."I sighed, "It’s a long story."Kelly glanced at her watch. "

    Cassie’s POV “The studio is fine,” Kelly said over the phone. “I just finished all the work and I’ll be heading home now. You sure you don’t want me to come over?” “I’m sure, Kelly. I can manage. I’m alright now.” I said, glancing at Enzo behind the wheel. “Listen, I’m almost home. I’ll talk to you later, okay?” “This is where you live?” He asked as he pulled up in front of my building. “Yeah, second floor.” I said, grabbing my back, “Thanks for the ride. I’ll see you-” “I’m coming up.” He said, eyeing my neighbours who just went inside. There lived three grad students in my building. They might seem problematic at first glance, but they were pretty harmless. Sure, they brought girls home and sometimes had parties till late in the night, but it was tolerable.“Enzo, those kids are nice.” “They look like they’re drunk.” He said. “Where do they live?” “On the first floor. They never bothered me.” “I’m still coming up.” Rolling my eyes, I said, “Fine.” As we went up, I could s

    Cassie’s POVI watched as Enzo spoke to Kelly outside, looking quite furious. He was pacing about, occasionally stealing a glance at me. Kelly was made up to date with what happened when she arrived, but she was yet to talk to me. I knew that she wouldn’t have anything nice to say to me either. A knock came on the door. As it opened, a nurse came in with a form. “Hello Mrs Anderson.” She said, surprising me. “Here’s your form.” I frowned her, “I’m not Mrs. Anderson anymore.” “I’m sorry, that’s what it said on the insurance papers.” She said, looking at the form in her hand. “My bad, I’ll correct it right away.” “Where do I have to sign?” “Right here.” “Cassie!” Kelly walked in right then. “You won’t believe who I just saw.” “Excuse me.” The nurse said and walked out. “Who?” I asked, looking at Kelly. “Becky!” She said, “She came for her antenatal check up. I could see a little bulge there, Cassie!”“Wow, so she wasn’t lying about her pregnancy.” I said, snickering. “Good t

    Cassie’s POVI did not expect that I would be seeing Enzo so soon.In fact, I was barely making peace with the fact that he was out of my life forever. So seeing him in a hospital right now ought to feel better, but it wasn’t. He looked pale, as though life was sucked out of him.I was sleeping on the bed when he walked into the room. He was the same man who loved me, but so much changed in the past few weeks that I felt like I no longer knew him.I wondered if he even wanted to be here.“Hi, Enzo.” I said, my voice broken. “Come on, in.”He closed the door

The suspense was killing me. I knew she was not in danger, but why was she rushed here? What could have gone wrong?Just as I was about to lose my patience, a female doctor walked into the room. She ran her eyes over the crowd, and as I got up, she realized that she was looking for me.“Mr De Luca?” She said as she approached me. The doctor seemed to be in her forties

Ever since Cassie moved out my house, Liza would not let me take a breather. She was around me the entire time, begging me to take her back. She was so persistent that even the paps have noticed it and are writing long columns in the news that we might be together.“No, tell her I’m not free.”“Mr Deluca, she will not listen to me. She is already very angry with me.”I frowned, “Why

    Her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at me. She was trapped now. “Hello, mom.” I said with bitterness, “I hope you’ve been well.” “What are you doing here?” She asked, her tone stern. “Why, I’m just here to talk to you regarding our arrangement. You’ve been ignoring me for the past few weeks, conveniently forgetting to fulfill your end of the bargain.”She rolled her eyes at me, “That was for a reason.” “Oh, yes? What reason could you have for keeping me from meeting dad?” I said, “I did everything you told me. I broke Enzo’s heart and left him. I even left my job and started a new life. I have done everything you asked me to do.” “You’re finally doing something good,” She said, “Now don’t expect any rewards for that.” My mouth fell open in surprise. “Wow, you have some nerve saying that.” I said, “I only did what I had to do because I wanted to see dad, not because it was the right thing. So you better be grateful for that and let me know when you will let me see dad. You

    Two months laterI ran my eyes over my studio, a relieved smile playing over my lips. After weeks of hard work, my art studio was launched and slowly picking up. For now, there were just two people running it, me and my friend, Kelly. But I was sure that we would slowly expand. “Hey, Kelly.” I said, “Any appointments for me?” She quickly folded the newspapers that she was reading and hid it under the desk. Giving me a smile, she said, “No. You’re free today.” “Wow, first time in ages right?” I said, “Why don’t you see the guests who have just arrived? I’ll sit at the reception.” “Sure. You got it. Shall I get you some coffee to kick start the day?” “No, thanks. I just had it.”As soon as Kelly was out of my sight, I carefully pulled the newspaper. The headlines on the front page caught my attention. ‘The city’s most eligible bachelor spotted with his girlfriend. Are things heating up?’ It wasn't the text but the picture below it that made my heart skip a beat. I closely watched
