Lost And Found By The Billionaire 20. Second thoughts
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.

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, K

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 wo

“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.

“Have you forgotten what she did to me?” Becky said, “Do you not want to punish her for that?”“I do, darling.” I said as the look of sadness on her face churned my heart. I never meant to make her feel as though she was not important to me. “But my father.. I gave him my word that I wouldn’t go after her.”A frown etched on her face. “But that was when things were different, when your company was at stake.” She said, “You didn’t want to go against her because you were afraid she would take the money away. But what happened now? Despite your kindness in sparing her, she pulled the money from the company. And now, you have nothing to lose.”At the mention of her words, I began to think about it for a moment. She was indeed making sense.&

The next week at the office was the same drill, and before I knew it, it was the weekend.I couldn't believe I lasted an entire week here, from having no idea how I was doing to gaining some foundation somehow. Emma was patient with me as I got the basics right and I eventually started working by myself, rarely needing her help.Through the week, Emma and I developed a great bond. She was proving to be my kind of a person, and since she wasn’t very close to any of her other colleagues, she was soon to accept me into her life too. Although she was technically my senior, she never made me feel that way, nor did she treat me like I was below her in rank. Because of this, we instantly clicked.Patrick was surprised with us too. He noticed that we were hav

I was having one of those dreams where you are aware of it.I was back in my prison cell, preparing myself for bed when I heard someone opening my cell door. When I looked over my shoulder to see who it was, I was instantly knocked down. I found myself on the floor in an instant and a faceless man was towering over my figure.I tried to scream for help, but nobody came. He caught my hands and put them above my head, and using his other hand, he tried to lift my shirt. I screamed in horror and jumped from my dream.When I woke up, I realized that I was panting and Enzo was patting my back. The TV screen froze and Enzo turned the lights on.“Cassie!” He said in worry, “What th

As I twisted the door knob open, I saw light flooding from inside. I frowned.Enzo was back already?“Hello?” I said as I closed the door behind me, getting rid of my heels.“In here.” Enzo’s voice chimed from the kitchen.“Wow, you’re cooking?” I asked. I was amused looking at him in his chef attire.“I am,” he said, “I hope you like pasta.”“I do.” I said, “But what’s the occasion ?”“We’re

I stared at the computer screen in horror. It was filled with red errors.I scrolled through my work in disbelief. This was the worst feedback I have ever received. I can’t be that bad.. Until.. I realized I was. What was this? I had never made these many mistakes before.Right then, my telephone buzzed beside my computer. When I took the call, I realized that it was Patrick calling me.“Meet me in my office.”Shit. “O-okay.”I quickly went to his office. I knocked on the door and pushed it open. When I entered, Patrick was looking into a file and didn’t bother to look up and acknowledge me. I clea
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 66. First day
Cassie’s POV I looked up at the tall building with a sigh.It was my first day.I noticed that there was a Starbucks located beneath the office. Since I had some time to spare, I went in to get a fresh cup of mocha. Instead of sitting inside, I decided to take a stroll in the small park area outside the building. Maybe it was because I’ve been away from work for so long, I felt a bit uneasy to enter the office building.When it was time, I finally mustered up the courage to go inside. Saving me a trip to the HR, Enzo slipped in my identity card this morning, which granted me hassle-free entry into the building. Even though I told him that everything would just follow the process and I was confident I could get through all the interviews, Enzo said we didn’t need all those complicated steps. I went along with his arrangement, after all, it was his good intention.I went straight up to my floor and navigated through the throng of people who were standing in the gaps between the cubicle

Calvin’s POV“What’s the matter?” Becky’s concerned voice came after me as I entered our bedroom. Without sparing her a glance or a nod of acknowledgement, I barged into the bathroom, banging the door shut behind me.I hated lies. I hated liars.Today, Becky was found to be one. I loved her so much, but she didn't tell me the truth. I found out about it in court. It was pathetic.As I stood under the showerhead, I couldn't help but wonder why she might have done that. Why did she have to lie about who was driving the car and why did she have to frame Cassie in a murder case? Why did she hate her so much? Did that mean that Penelope had lied too? But why would she?

When I walked toward Becky, Calvin was nowhere in sight, nor were his lawyers, giving me my much-needed alone time with her. My conversation with her was far overdue, I realized.She saw me approaching her and started glaring. Her face was full of anger."What do you want?" She asked as soon as I arrived near her."I wanted to check if you're doing well." I said, "After all, you might be going to prison very soon. And after living there for two weeks, thanks to you, I can assure you that they will take very good care of people like you. You better be prepared."Becky scoffed, "I am not going anywhere. I will be right here with Calvin, making sure you don't steal him from me yet again.""Yet again?" I laughed, "Calvin was never yours to begin with, Becky. He was my husband. You are the one that came in between and sabotaged the life we built. If anything, it was you that took him away from me.""Calvin loved me."

I felt someone hug me from behind. When I turned around, I realized who. It was Kelly."Cassie!" She screamed in elation. "I can't believe this! You're finally free."I could hardly register what was happening around me as too much was unfolding at one go."You are going to be alright, Cassie! You're going to come home. Your life is going back to normal again!"I nodded, "It is, isn't it?" I asked, perplexed. "Everything is going to be alright now.""Yes, absolutely!" She said, grinning from ear to ear. "All thanks to this man here who never gave up on you."Following her eyes, I looked to my right where Enzo was standing. I detected a sense of relief on his face, as though a mountain of responsibility had been lifted off his shoulders. Dark circles had formed below his eyes, making me wonder how many sleepless nights he had endured to lead us to today's victory.Tears accumulated in my eyes i

Cassie's POV “Replay the video.” Said the judge, failing to believe his own eyes. I couldn’t blame him, for what Enzo had produced as evidence in the courtroom was astounding. I was perplexed as to how he managed to get his hands on something like this. The video was recorded from the car, giving a view of the driver and the passenger. The driver seemed erratic and wobbly, sloppily driving on the empty road. After a few seconds, the driver suddenly turned the wheel to a side, ending up colliding the vehicle with the tree. Fumes erupted from the bonnet, and the airbags opened in the front seat. The driver was unconscious, their head on the airbags as blood dribbled down it. Right then, the passenger door opened and they got down. They came to stand in front of the car, revealing their faces. It was me.I approached the driver’s side to help Becky, but Becky wouldn’t budge. I then proceeded to pull her phone out of her pocket and call for help. I had no memory of this video. I wasn
