Lost And Found By The Billionaire 141. The odds
The old couple sat across from me inside the tiny room. Enzo was beside me, his hand entwined in mine for support. I agreed to meet the couple that claimed to be my family, but as I looked at them, I did not feel like I belonged anywhere close to them. The watch the old man was wearing was worth more than my annual pay. The diamonds around the lady’s neck could fund my retirement plan. And despite all the wealth, the love and concern they had for me in their eyes stood in stark contrast to everything they embodied.“It’s good to see you, Cassie.” She said, her eyes slowly welling up, “We’ve been searching for you for over twenty years. And now that you’re sitting in front of us, it does not feel real.” I gave her a small, awkward smile. I didn’t know how to react to that. It was the first time that I was receiving so much affection from someone. “I think Enzo told you about us.” The oldman said. “Do you have anything you want to say?’“Yes.” I said, “Where are my parents?” His ja

The entire ride back home was confusing. The accident, the revelation and the pressure that came with it, it was all too much to handle at once. When I told Enzo about the same, he told me that I should not worry myself too much. “That’s easy for you to say.” I mumbled. “You’re not in my shoes.” “I get it.” He said, clasping my hand on my thigh. “Why don’t you come home, Cassie? Just for a few days. I want to be with you for a while. It will help you keep your mind off things.” “But Enzo…”“What, come on? Am I not allowed to take care of you when you need me?” He said, “Don’t be difficult, Cassie. Please.”“What about my clothes? And my laptop? I need it for work.” “I’ll send someone to your house to bring all of that.” He said, “And you can talk to Melissa about your situation. I’m sure she’ll grant you leave for a few days. You can’t work with a broken arm.” He was right. I needed rest for at least a week. “Okay.” I said, “Help me write an email once we get home.” He glanced

Enzo continued to tease my breasts, occasionally playing with my nipples. He was no longer just washing my body, he was now seducing me. I moved away from his chest at once and turned around. Enzo’s eyes slightly widened in surprise as I faced him. Wrapping my legs around his torso, I pulled my body close to his. “What do you think about my plan?” I asked, feigning nonchalance to his tactics. Enzo grabbed the hand shower and ran the hot water over my body, rinsing away the soap. “Well, it sounds good to me.” He said, holding the nozzle over my cleavage. “I’ll do whatever you want me to do.” He grabbed some more soap for my arms. “Really?” I asked, inching closer to him. “Anything?” “Of course,” He said, his hands reaching my shoulders. Before he could go any further, I caught his hand. “Well, then, I want this.” I said, and inched closer to him so that my clit could rest against the bulge between his fingers. Before he could protest, I captured his lips with mine. We instantly

After a night thoroughly spent, I woke up with dismay to find the bed empty. I groaned in disappointment, as I was looking forward to waking up next to Enzo. He must have already risen and gotten ready. I quickly went into the bathroom to get a quick shower in before I walked out. However, as I wrapped the towel around my body, I realized that I had no clothes to change into. As I made my way out, I found Enzo sipping on his coffee at the dining table. “Nice outfit.” he mused as he saw me standing at the door. “Ha-ha.” I said, unimpressed. “I don’t have clothes.” Enzo pointed towards the living room then, wearing a smug smile. “I’m miles ahead of you.”A couple of bags lay there. “Those are my things?” “Yes.” “Who got them here?” I said, going toward them. As I began to pull them toward my room, Enzo got up from his seat and walked toward me. “Let me get that.” he said as he carried the bags and walked toward his room. I guess that’s where I was staying then. “Thank you.” I m

On Friday morning, we pulled up in front of the Ashford's estate. Their name was engraved on the iron plate beside the gate, glimmering in gold. As I peeped through the huge iron bars, I could see a huge garden laid out for a long distance until a mansion came to my vision. Their entire property looked like a luxury I could never afford, but strangely, it was all mine now. The thought of it made me nervous. Was I even ready for this? Right then, Enzo’s hand came to rest on mine, giving it a gentle squeeze. As I looked at him, he said, “We don’t have to do this if you’re not ready.”I sighed, “No. Let’s get this over with.” As the gates opened, we drove ahead, and soon I realized that we were transported to a different world. Everything around me screamed royalty, wealth and extravagance. None of which I was ready for. As soon as I got down, Mrs Ashford was ready to receive me. “Oh, dear. I’m so glad you came to meet us.” She pulled me in for a hug, and I stood there frozen. I w

“No, Mr. Ashford, don’t-” I tried to stop him, but it was too late. The gates opened for Calvin and his car sped toward us, stopping only a foot away. I recoiled into Enzo on instinct, having no intention of dealing with him by myself. Enzo’s protective arm came around my shoulder, holding me close to him. As soon as Calvin got out of the car, his eyes fell on me and they widened. I could sense his dislike toward my proximity with Enzo, but it was a fact he ought to make peace with. “Cassie.” he sighed out, approaching me, “Cassie, I’m so sorry for everything.” I frowned, and exchanged a glance with Enzo. What was this idiot up to now? “I found out everything, honey.” He said, “I learned the truth about Becky. Her lies, her deceit, everything! I’m so awfully sorry.” I must say, I was surprised. I did not think that he would come to his senses so soon. Or is it because he saw something between Enzo and I? Something he never thought I would have if he left me? “Who are you?” Mr A

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

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

As I walked in, Enzo had already discarded his clothes and was preparing to go to bed. “What the hell was that, Enzo?’ I said, “You were way out of line.” “About what?” He asked lazily. “Don’t try to play the fool with me. You know what I’m talking about.” I said, “What is your scheme really? Is this your way of pushing us away?” “Think whatever you have to, Cassie. I don’t care. I’m just doing what I feel is right.” “Oh, really?” I said, “This feels right to you? Worrying us until we’re sick and showing up this late? Not to mention drunk out of your mind?” He groaned, “So now I don’t have the freedom to do what I want to?” He said, “I didn’t know that the rules change when we’re living in your house.” That made me shut up. I couldn’t believe he said that. He was definitely trying to rile me up, so I desperately needed to distract him. There was no point trying to argue with him now. “Don’t you want to shower?” I asked him, eyeing his body. He could definitely use one. Maybe t
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 225. What is it to you?
After a long, distracting day at work, all I wanted was my bed. I was hoping Sara had already cooked us some food like she had been for the past few days. But if she hadn’t, we would have to place an order. And I had no energy for that either. As I entered our apartment, I was relieved to smell the aroma of freshly prepared food. I walked into the kitchen, ready to thank Sara for her help. However, before I could do that, she walked out of the kitchen all tense. “Oh, Cassie. Thank God you’re back.” She said, “Why were you not taking my calls?” “Oh?” I said, quizzically and opened my phone. As she said, there really were four missed calls from her number. “My bad. It was on silent. What’s the matter?” “Enzo hasn’t come home since afternoon.” She said, “He said he was stepping out for lunch and he still didn’t return.” “What?” I asked, “Why did he go out for lunch? Was he going alone?” “I have no idea. He wouldn’t answer me. He got so angry when I tried to push him… I just kept
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 224. A darkness
Enzo watched me as I got ready for work.It was my first day back at the office and I couldn’t be more relieved. To say the past few days have been difficult would be an understatement. I needed a distraction from everything, and what was better than going to the office? With Enzo unemployed, I had to make sure that I could put some bread on the table. Although my grandparents have been continuously calling me, offering me help, or in their words - letting me have what was mine, I simply could not let them. That would be the last straw for Enzo. He was already beating himself up as he saw me working day and night to make ends meet. “Did you speak to that friend of yours you were talking about?” I said, “The lawyer. He was offering you a job, wasn’t he?” “I lost my license to practice, Cassie.” He said, “I can’t practice law anywhere else.” I turned around, puzzled. “But Raymond told me that he offered you a position of a legal advisor. You can’t be an member of the bar, but surel
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 223. New home
On Monday, all our boxes were packed and shifted to transport. I cast one last glance at our house. I remember the time I first moved in when Enzo gave me the freedom to redo the entire apartment. I was so overjoyed and spent an entire day working on it. And now, as I watched them tear down and remove everything we had in there, I could feel my heart break. I could only imagine what Enzo must be going through. Enzo refused to stay for the final take over of the house. He left downstairs with Emmy while I waited upstairs to finish all the formalities and paperwork. Once I was done, I went down to join them. “It’s done.” Enzo nodded, “What’s the plan now?” He asked, “We could… go to a hotel.” “No.” I said, holding his hand, “Come with me.” We loaded our luggage into a cab and got in. Once I gave him the address, Enzo frowned at me, “Where are we going?” “I got us a house last week.” I said, “We’ll be staying there from now on.” “A house?” He asked. “Where?” “In Brooklyn.” “How
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 222. The right thing
I anxiously waited outside the conference room. Enzo was in there talking to all of his clients in an attempt to explain to them that this was not his doing. Raymond was out here with me, pacing around the room. For the past few days, Raymond has been a tremendous help to us. Since Enzo was not in the right position to take care of everything, he stepped in to do all the negotiations. Today was the day that would decide our fate. Although I knew what was coming for us, I couldn’t help but hope that something miraculous would happen today and turn the odds in our favor. And then finally, Enzo came out. And his expression revealed that the meeting didn’t go well. “They’re taking everything.” He said, “Every single penny I own.” My heart sank. “Is there no other way?” “The clients think I betrayed their trust, so they’re seeking a higher compensation.” He said, “And since they’re doing me a favor by not pursuing this criminally, my lawyer thinks I should settle.” Criminally? Oh, G
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 221. Never have to find out
“Who did it?” I asked, treading him carefully. In all these years of knowing him, I never saw him like this. This broken. This helpless. Enzo built that firm with his own blood and sweat. It was everything to him, and to have it all be taken away - it was a nightmare for me. Suddenly, I was enraged. The mere thought of Trent Dalton was making me shake with anger. But I knew that this was not entirely his doing. To pull off something like this, he needed someone on the inside, a mole, to give away such sensitive information. If the transactions are portrayed to be made by Enzo, then it must be an insider that had access to such sensitive information. “I don’t know.” Enzo said, “Whoever it was, they altered the firm’s accounting software to move client funds, trust funds, into my personal account. I had no idea of this, and nor did I receive any messages from the banks regarding giant transactions. Trent must have paid them to be silent as well.” “If they could get into accounting

“How old is your baby?” The nurse asked as she handed a crying Emmy back to me. “Four months now.” I sighed, patting her. “Oh, Emmy. Calm down. It’s over, isn’t it?”She just received her vaccine shot and came out of the doctor’s office bawling her eyes out. “She’s so adorable.” She mused, handing me my file. “I would agree but she’s throwing too many tantrums lately.” I said, “She could be a handful when she wants to.” “I wish I could say it gets better but it truly doesn’t.” She laughed, “But that’s what we signed up for, right?” “Yes.” I said, kissing my daughter’s tear stained cheek. “Let’s go home, shall we? Daddy’s waiting for us in the car.” Emmy just replied with another sob, burying her face in my neck. As we went out, I spotted Enzo’s car in the parking lot and headed toward it. I quickly got in. “These vaccination visits are so difficult.” I said, as I closed the car door. “I just can’t see Emmy crying so much. I just walked out of the doctor’s office today, can you
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 219. Overdue
After the party, Enzo, Emmy, Sara and I headed back home. Sara was shook from the entire episode that played out and remained silent the entire journey home. As we went in, I looked at her. “Take the guest room. You can rest there.” She didn’t move an inch until Enzo looked at her. And then, she said, “I can’t live here.” She sighed, “I… I can’t… I don’t want to be a burden on anyone.” “Sara, you’re not a burden.” I protested, patting a sleeping Emmy on my chest. “I will be if we continue this arrangement.” She said, “I don’t want-” “How about this?” Enzo intervened, “I’ll give you a house. It’s right by your workplace. That way you won’t have to live with us, nor with your scum of a dad.” “A house?” She said, “I’m sure I can’t afford the rent.” “You can live there for free.” He said, “I just… I don’t ever want you to go back to that house.” Sara stared at him for a long while, as though she was trying to figure him out. “Why are you doing this?” “What?” “You didn’t even wa
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 218. I'll remember to thank her
Enzo looked at me and then back at the crowd, and then finally, a grin broke out on his face. “Wow.” he said, running his eyes over everyone. “That’s… my friends from college and my… how did you get them all together?” I shrugged, “After a month of thorough planning.” “I can’t believe you did this.” He said, “This is brilliant. Thank you so much, Cassie.” “You’re welcome.” I smiled. ”Now, let’s go.”One by one, Enzo’f friends and colleagues came up to him to meet him, but my eyes were looking for Sara. I found her at the far end by the bar, enjoying a drink with Mark, but her eyes were set on Enzo. She deserved to be here with us. “Oh, Emmy.” I heard Kelly’s voice coming from my side, distracting. I grinned as Emmy effortlessly slipped from my arms into hers. “Look at her, she looks like a darling.” She then looked toward, impressed, “Cassie, I must say. You completely transformed this place. Well done.” “Sara was of tremendous help, really.” I said, “I could not have done thi
