Lost And Found By The Billionaire 159. How it feels
The entire ride back home, Enzo was dead silent. Not a word, not a whisper. He refused to even look at me. He got me up to his apartment and led me into his bedroom. After tucking me inside the duvet he closed the door and went away. I woke up shortly after to have dinner, but Enzo was nowhere in sight. ‘Where are you? Are you coming for dinner?’ I sent him a message but I didn’t get any reply. I called him multiple times, but it kept going to voicemail. ‘Enzo. Please pick up the call.’ - Cassie. ‘I’m worried. Where did you do?’ - Cassie. ‘I heard you’re not at the office. Where are you, Enzo? Just tell me you’re fine.’ - Cassie. It was late in the night when I finally heard the door open. I fell asleep on the couch after hours of waiting for Enzo. I was worried sick the entire time, calling everyone I knew to ask about him. But nobody knew where he was. When I finally saw him entering the house, I couldn’t help but sigh in relief, but I also felt angry. “Thank God you’re bac

I looked at him in helplessness. I was guilty. I knew I made a mistake, but how can I make him see it? I can’t go back in time and change anything. It was too late for that. All I can do is apologize and tell him that I wouldn’t do something like this again. “Enzo, I told you I’m sorry. It was my mistake. I should have listened to you.” “No, Cassie.” He said, “It’s too late. I had to get a fuckign restraining order to protect you from him. Your sorry doesn’t change anything. You should never have gotten involved with him in the first place. You should never have gotten into his car. Heck, you should never have worked for him.”“You cannot expect me to stop working and sit at home, Enzo.” I said, “I wanted this job-” “I did not say that. I merely asked you to… forget it.” He huffed out, “And you know what? What if I did? Why do you think I put restrictions for you, Cassie? Was it for my selfish benefit?” I shrugged, “I don’t know, Enzo. I thought you were worrying for no reason, l

I had just filled my plate with food at the office cafeteria when I heard Melissa’s voice from behind. “Cassie!” She called, making me turn around. She approached with a concerned look on her face. “I heard what happened yesterday. Are you okay?” I gave her a small nod, “I’m fine, Melissa. Thanks for asking.” “I never thought he would do something like that.” She said, “He must have gone crazy.” “Mel, I don’t really feel like talking about it. Do you mind if…” “Sure, of course.” She said, “I'll get some food and join you alright? Go ahead.” After five minutes, Melissa came back with her plate and took a seat in front of me. We quietly enjoyed her meal, while she gave me occasional glances of pity. And it wasn’t just her. Most of the people who entered the cafeteria stared at me, giving me curious glances. I wondered how the news spread so fast. “Did you speak to Mr Clark?” She broke the ice finally. I shook my head, “No, but I will after lunch.” I said, “I couldn’t get his app

My day at the office went a lot better than I’d expected when I first stepped out of the house this morning. After a relaxing bath at home, I prepared to go out for dinner. I waited for Enzo, although I doubted he would join me. He preferred to ignore me at all times now.After waiting for him for an hour, I decided it would be best to go alone. I was about to switch off the lights when I noticed something. I walked to the dustbin and opened it. Much to my relief, the velvet box that Enzo threw in it was still there. With a heavy heart, I dug it out and opened it. Tears blurred my vision as I stared at the brilliant princess cut diamond that was resting on the band. Taking it, I held it close to my chest, letting the tears run down. This cannot be it. I will prove to Enzo that I was ready for a marriage. I made several mistakes in the past, but now I had the chance to correct them. I walked back to my bed and slipped the ring into my bag. I was not going to give up on us so soon

The next morning, Enzo had already left for work when I woke up.And for the first time in a while, I was grateful for it. I didn't want him to know where I was headed this morning. Apart from being a great friend, Melissa was also an excellent stalker with connections all around the city. Within a span of twelve hours, she got me the information I needed to carry out my plan. So there I was, walking across the road toward the restaurant where the man I wanted to meet was peacefully having lunch. I had no choice but to disturb him. “Excuse me.” I said as he sipped on some water, “Mr Raymond?” He nodded, frowning at my intrusion. “Yes. Do I know?” I put my hand forward, “Cassandra Harper. Nice to meet you.” He took my hand as the gears in his head turned, and no sooner, his eyes widened with realization. “Wow. You’ve got to be kidding me.”“I hope you don’t mind my presence,” I said, taking a seat in front of him, “But I need to talk to you.” “There’s nothing to talk about, Miss

Enzo’s POV Today was awful. It was packed with meetings with difficult clients who refused to budge. I hated dealing with people like them, who have unrealistic expectations about what a firm can do for you. But sadly, they are powerful people, so you need to get them on your side. And thankfully, I had enough experience in this field to deal with such situations. I headed back to my office at the end of the day, ready to go back home when I found my associates seated inside. “Ugh,” I groaned at the sight of them. “Whatever it is, it has to wait until tomorrow morning.” “You’re going to want to hear this.” Mark said. “It’s about Raymond.” I frowned, looking at him, “What? What about him?” “Take a seat.” He said, pushing a file toward me. As I opened it, I quickly read through the contents of it. I scoffed in disbelief, looking up at the both of them for confirmation, “He wants to work with us again?” “That’s right.” I shrugged, “But why? What changed?” “He says a certain som

“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

“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
