Lost And Found By The Billionaire 18. Indebted to you
The memory was all a blur in my memory, owing to the fact that it all happened long long ago. I wasn’t sure how or why, but as he mentioned the date to me, it all came flooding back. Suddenly everything fell into place in my head, the puzzle solving by itself. Every event of that day was slowly coming back to me, making me remember everything vividly. “You..” I stammered, “You are Enzo.. the one that I..” He smiled, “Yes.” He nodded, “The one that you pulled out of that house of fire.” It was perhaps twenty years ago that it happened. It was when I was still living in an orphanage, before my parents decided to adopt me. Thankfully, I don’t remember much from that phase of my life, one because I was very young and also because it wasn’t necessarily fond memories I held from that place. Like any other foster care, we were all severely neglected, and sometimes even treated ill. To make things worse, I don’t remember having any notable companionship except for one friend, Enzo. He wa

Calvin's POV. My day barely began and I was already having a headache. I sipped onto my coffee mug resting by the table, and realized that it was empty. I had already emptied a cup of black coffee, and yet my head was throbbing. Caffeine cannot fix sleeplessness, of course, I slowly realized. I couldn’t remember the last time I had a full night’s sleep without the worry of my missing wife, my sinking business and an angry father. The only ray of sunshine in my life right now was Becky and her arrival back into my world, but the rest of my world was in such an awry state that I’m barely able to appreciate her presence amidst all of this. Pulling myself away from my thoughts, I tried to focus on the screen in front of me. I was having a meeting soon with the board of directors where I was supposed to present our business plan for the next few months, and I couldn’t think of anything. The truth was that I had no plan. I had no idea how to revive this business after it had already incu

Calvin’s POVA knock came on my door, interrupting my thoughts. “Come in,” I said gruffly. I was not in a mood to entertain any visitors today, so it better be important. It was Austin, my secretary, that revealed himself as the door opened. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him. The man is always interrupting me in the worst possible moments. “Whatever it is, I’m not in the mood, Austin.” I said, burying my face in my palms. Gently rubbing my temples, I added, “Leave me alone.” “You’re going to want to hear this, Boss.” He persisted. I looked up at him in annoyance, “I told you I don’t want to hear it, whatever it may be!” “But..” He hesitated, “it’s about-”I glared at him, “I said I don’t want to-”“It’s about Cassie.” He blurted in a hurry. I was cut off mid-sentence as I heard his words. Widening my eyes, I said, “What did you say?” “I found out where she is.” He replied, “You asked me to, remember?” A weird sense of relief flooded over me. After she was given bail, I

Cassie’s POV The next morning, I awoke early, despite tossing and turning in my bed for hours together, chasing sleep. By the time I had stepped out of my room, it was past 8 am and Enzo was nowhere to be found. He has already gone to work, I presumed. I had decided to meet Kelly for lunch later today, so until then, I essentially had the entire house for myself. Fixing myself a quick cup of coffee, I settled down by the kitchen counter and lazily ran my eyes over the empty space of the house. The one thing that stood about the house was how bland it was, how lifeless and empty it seemed. It almost felt criminal that Enzo was wasting the enormous potential this house had. This beautiful space needed some upgrading for sure, but it wasn’t my call to make. I mean, I would be living here for a little while, until I got my own space, so it would be terribly rude of me to suggest Enzo try to get some furniture in here. He looks like he can afford it. If it was his busy lifestyle that

The ring of a bell chimed in the air. Before I could get up from the pool of clothes I submerged myself in, Kelly got up from her seat and walked out of the room to get to the door. I could faintly hear her conversation and made out that our lunch was delivered. Pushing all the stuff away from my lap, I got up and headed out the door. After the unfortunate phone call with Calvin, I realized that I was in no mood to head out for lunch. Moreover, I needed her company immediately, so I rang up Kelly and asked her to come home instead. Since she wanted to help me unpack my things, we got to it while I ranted to her till my heart was content. We settled down by the kitchen counter to eat our lunch which was some alfredo chicken pasta. As I took the first bite, Kelly grimaced, “Everyday is a new surprise to me.” “What?” I asked, not sure what she was referring to. Did she not like the food?“About Calvin.” She clarified to my relief. “I mean, why is he being such a hypocrite? Has he alw

As the elevator took me up the floors, I looked out of the transparent glass. The view of the office didn’t change a bit, it was just like how I saw it the last time, which was almost four months ago. I had come for a small party Calvin threw for his employees, and as his wife, I had to make an appearance. I couldn’t help but remember that night with some bitterness and some fondness. Although Calvin wasn’t the most affectionate husband, he was surprisingly nice to me that entire evening. He took special interest in introducing me to everyone, including his interns and other new employees. For the first time in my life, it felt like he was finally making peace with the fact that I was his wife. It felt as though he didn’t mind my presence beside him or in his life, and that it ignited a small hope within me. It made me wonder if things would finally go back to being normal, if we would finally become a couple that I had always dreamt of. However, that dream of mine was short-lived,

“Cassie, stop!” Calvin’s angry voice came from behind me, but I did not pay any heed to it. Determined to get out of there as soon as possible, I kept walking. I felt a grip on my elbow then, and before I could protest, I was being dragged into a room to my left. As the door shut behind, Calvin pinned me to it and looked down at me menacingly. “Calvin!” I shrieked, trying to get out of his hold, “Let go of me.” “How dare you do this?” He said, tightening his grip on my arms. I looked up at him in astonishment. Was he seriously asking me this question? Is he truly that daft that he thought I would remain a loyal wife to him after everything he’s put me through? As I looked into his eyes in annoyance, I was surprised to find hurt in them. Not anger, but hurt. He looked at me as though I was betraying him, as though I was stabbing him in the back. Either I had to be delusional or he was good at manipulating me, only that would explain why he was looking at me like that.“It’s because

Calvin’s POV The car screeched to a halt in front of my mansion, pulling me out of my thoughts. As I got out, a terrible headache hit, making me feel dizzy for a moment. I noticed my driver looking at me, ready to help, but I raised my hand to signal I didn’t need it. The day’s events were catching up to me, but it wasn’t new. I had survived many days like this before, and this one would be no different.But how could Cassie say those hurtful words? How dare she divest? She's truly an evil woman.Dragging my feet toward my house, I opened the door and felt grateful for the silence that was coming from within. Good, I was in no mood to interact with my parents, especially my father after the spectacular flop show at the office. He was sure to taunt me for my shortcomings, giving me his classic ‘I told you so’. He would not understand even if I tried to justify that there was nothing I could have done. I did back off when he asked me to, and yet, Cassie still did what we all dreaded.

Lost And Found By The Billionaire 143. I just want you
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
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 142. On your terms
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
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

Cassie’s POV My heart refused to calm down until I saw Enzo walking inside. His eyes were red, his face filled with sorrow and regret. Yet, he managed to give me a kind smile. “Hey.” “The baby’s fine.” I muttered. Enzo walked up to me quietly, and sat down on the edge of the bed. Taking my hand into his, he gave it a gentle squeeze, “How are you?” “I’m okay.” I said, “It wasn’t that bad. I think I just got too scared.” “I got your note.” He said, his eyes looking at her entwined hands. “You did?” I said, exhaling, “Well, I meant it. I love you, Enzo.” His eyes found mine then, and then he instantly leaned forward to plant a kiss on my lips. “I was so scared for you.” “Me too.” I said, “I was afraid that I would die without telling you how I really feel. I delayed it for too long, Enzo. I was afraid to admit my own feelings. I guess… I guess I was not ready to accept that there was… that I love you. I guess I was scared that I would lose myself all over again, or worse.. That

Enzo’s POV Life was cruel. Anybody who witnessed my life in the last few months would agree with me on that. I just stepped into a meeting when I got Kelly’s call. She was wailing on the phone, barely holding up to tell me what happened. But I managed to deduce something. Cassie met with an accident. There was a car involved, and she was unconscious at the scene. My brain was paralysed for a moment. I froze in time. It wasn’t until my colleague asked if I was alright that I realized that I wasn’t. I instantly cancelled the meeting and got out of there. On my way down the elevator, the hospital called me. They were examining Cassie, and they won’t know how she is doing for a while. And there was no news about the baby. Every passing second felt like an eternity. I sped past all the signals, breaking every traffic rule as I went to the hospital. As soon as I got there, I headed into the emergency, suspecting that that was where Cassie was. “Mr. De Luca?” said a nurse at the recep

By the time evening rolled around, I couldn’t help but feel content with the day. It felt great to get behind the computer, doing what I truly loved. Once I got done with work, I called Enzo.“Hey,” I said, heading down. “Are you coming to pick me up?” Enzo paused for a second, “Shit, I completely forgot.” He said, “I’m so sorry, Cassie. I got held up at work. Why don’t you wait for a few minutes? I’ll send my driver right away.” “No, don’t worry about it.” I said, “I’ll just take the bus. The studio’s just ten minutes away from here.” “No, no. I’ll send the driver. It’s not going to take long.” “Enzo, it’ll take fifteen minutes at least. I can reach the studio in that time.” I said, “It’s fine. It’s not like I have to walk there. The bus is convenient.” “I’m sorry. I don’t know how I forgot.” “You’re a busy man, it’s fine.” I said, “I’ll see you for dinner?”“Yes, I’ll pick you up from the studio at 8?” “Done. Can’t wait to see you.” With that, I cut the call and got outside
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 137. Did you not know?
I rolled my eyes, “Don’t try to deny it, Calvin. I know you’re having a baby with Becky. And you know what? Go ahead. I don’t care. We’re divorced, and let’s not forget that.” He was enraged with my words, “Shut up, Cassie. I’m not having a baby with Becky.” Oh, my God. This man. He was insufferable. How could he lie to me about it after everything? “Yeah, well, then, someone else is. Because I saw her at the hospital the other day when she came for her checkup.” Calvin widened his eyes, sinking back into his chair as though realization just struck him. He grabbed the water bottle and chugged it, his hands shaking. What was happening? Did he really not know that she was pregnant? “Who was she with?” He asked. “Alone.” I said, “Did you not know?” He shook his head and abruptly got up. “I need to go.” “Wait, what about our meeting?” I asked, but he didn’t stop. He stormed out of the room. “Bloody hell.” I muttered to myself. “What was that about?” I instantly dialled Enzo’s nu

A week later, I was standing in front of Clark and Mason Corporation. Despite Enzo’s reluctance to let me work, I signed with them earlier this week. I would be one of their programmers, and if all went well, Professor Clark said there would be bigger roles for me to fulfil. “All the best.” he mumbled as he lowered the window of his carLeaning in, I planted a kiss on his mouth. “Thank you.” “I’ll pick you up in the evening.” he said, “or worst case, I’ll send my driver.” “Okay.” With that said, I walked into the building. It didn’t take me long to find their office, where Melissa, one of my teammates, took me inside. “Hello, Cassandra. I’m so glad to finally see you.” She said, “You can imagine how difficult it was for us after our programmer resigned last month. The entire team has been eagerly waiting for you to join us.” “I can’t wait to meet them either.” I said, “Although, we’re supposed to meet our client today. Isn’t it?” “Yes. He’s already waiting for us.” She said,
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 135. An opportunity
A phone call woke me up the next morning. It was eight in the morning, and the person calling me was my professor, Michael Clark. “Switch it off.” Enzo said, pulling my body deeper into his embrace. His voice was thick with unfinished sleep. Sighing, I gently pulled his hand away. “Sorry.” I quickly mumbled before I hurried into the kitchen to take the call. “Mr. Clark. Good morning.” I said. “Good Morning, Cassandra. I hope I haven’t caught you at the wrong time.” “Not at all.” “Right, then I’ll cut to the chase.” He said, “I called you to ask if you’d be interested in working for me?” I frowned, “I’m sorry?” “I heard you’ve resigned from De Luca’s firm. If you are looking for an exciting job, we have an opening for you. If you’re interested, I’ll email you all the details.” “I…” Wow. “Mr. Clark, I’m not sure if… I didn’t really think about-” “It’s alright. I don't need an answer right away. Think it over, I’ll send you an email in the meantime. Just, write back to me in a
