2024-12-31 06:00:13Later that afternoon, while I was lazing around in my room, I heard some commotion outside. I could hear some muffled voices, and I realized that one of them belonged to Lawrence’s and it was slowly rising. Wondering what it could have been about, I stepped out. As I walked into the living room, I realized that he was speaking to some on the other side of the door.
In fact, it looked like he was blocking someone from entering.
“Excuse me!” The voice said, “You better move aside right freaking now if you wish to keep your job. You don’t know who you are talking to.”
As soon as I recognised that unforgettable voice, my eyes widened. Wow. What was happening?
“That’s precisely what I’m worried ab

Becky's POV“Have you heard the news?” Calvin’s father, Peter said as he folded the newspaper. Tossing it on the sofa, he came to join us at the breakfast table.Calvin looked up in confusion. He had no idea of what he was talking about. But I did. And I couldn't wait to let this conversation unfold. “What?” He said.“News about Cassie.” Peter said, “She was attacked yesterday.”“Attacked?” Calvin exclaimed, dropping his spoon on his plate. “By who?”Peter raised his brows at him, giving him a sly smirk, as though he caught the culprit. “That’s what I’m wondering. Do you have anything to say?”“Me? Why would I…” Calvin’s eyes widened in realization, “You can’t possibly think I was the one behind it?”“Why not? It fits the plot.”

Cassie's POV “Ahhhh!!!!” I screamed in horror. I got up and sat straight at once. I frantically looked around, searching for my perpetrator. But he was nowhere to be seen. I then realized that I was not in the middle of nowhere. I was in my bedroom. I could feel sweat dripping from my face, and my breath becoming erratic. It was yet another nightmare. It was my third time today. In every dream, the same scene repeated in my head. I was taken to a dark lane and was attacked continuously. Before it could get any worse or before Peter could come to my rescue, I would wake up from sleep, utterly drenched with sweat and gasping for breath.Right then, the door to my room opened. Enzo walked in. “Cassie!” He said as he sat on my bed, “What happened?” “I’m sorry, it was nothing.” I said, “Another nightmare.” “Another?” He asked, surprised. “This is getting out of control. You need to see a doctor. They might help you.” “No,” I said, “I don’t want to start therapy again. I just need t

It took about an hour and a half to get done with the paperwork. The HR manager was a kind woman who seemed to have prepared a speech to talk me into accepting this job, but I didn’t need any convincing. Any qualms I had about working here right about vanished when I realized that it was Enzo who owned it. Nothing could be fishy about this place when the leader was so capable and trustworthy.However, I did take my sweet time reading all the documents before putting my sign on it. After all, it was always better to be safe and sensible about these things. After all, I checked with Lawrence if I could meet Enzo, but sadly, he was still in a meeting and had asked us to proceed for lunch without him.“We’ll go to your office next.” He said.“My office?” I asked. “I got an office room?”He winced, “My bad. I meant the tech department. Nobody there has an office room yet.”

“I’m guessing the meeting went well?” He asked, his features finally softening. He pulled the seat toward himself and took a seat on it, gesturing to me to do the same.“Yes.” I said, sitting across from him “It was a no-brainer actually. The moment I realized you were my employer, it wasn’t much of a debate. I had to sign the document.”He raised his brows, “So you’ve learned.”“It’s hard not to. Your name is everywhere.”He chuckled, “I thought you’d pick up sooner.”“My bad, I can be very dense sometimes.”Truly, I couldn’t believe I didn’t know this all these days. The fact that I didn’t even bother to ask my company’s name before showing up here for an interview says a lot about how my brain goes into an off mode when I’m around Enzo. He takes care of everythi

As the evening rolled, I cleaned the last bit of dust off the counter and threw the tissue away. As my eyes wandered around the apartment, I couldn’t help but grin in satisfaction. Ever since Enzo permitted me to redo his apartment yesterday, I have been on the task. I made all the purchases yesterday and they were readily delivered today. I took a bit of Kelly and Lawrence’s help to set the entire thing up, of course, and I was very proud of what we have achieved.Enzo had no idea that everything would be ready by tonight when he came home from work. I also ordered his favourite Chinese food for dinner, making it a complete evening packed full of surprises.“I must say you’ve outdone yourself,” Lawrence said as he walked from the living room. “It looks perfect, and I’m sure it's within Enzo’s preference. You have great taste.”“Thank you, and I wouldn’t have done it without you.

I recoiled backwards, growing acutely aware of how hard my heart was thumping against my ribs. The look on his face devastated me. I suddenly worried, what if it was all a waste? What if he didn’t like it? Oh, my God. What would I do then? The worst part was that I couldn’t read his expression well. Was he thinking I overspent? Was he regretting giving me the chance to redo his apartment? Shit! He gave me one job, one freaking job, and I ruined it! This was the least I could have done for him, and somehow I ruined that too. “Do you not like it?” I asked in a low voice, embracing myself for his response. “Like it?” He scoffed in astonishment, “Cassie! This is amazing! I love it!” The biggest sigh of relief rushed out of my lungs, “Oh, my God. Really?”“Yes!” He said, throwing his hands up in the air as he gestured around, “I can’t believe you did all of this by yourself, in under two days. Like, what are you made of? How did you pull this off?” I shook my head, “You scared me ther

When I heard those words, it felt like my heart sank. I didn't even notice when the file slipped from my hands and fell to the floor. I stared at Enzo in shock, as everything around me suddenly felt real again. The comfortable world I had built for myself was gone.I quickly knelt down to pick up the papers. After gathering them, I put them back in the folder and stood up. Placing it on the counter, I said, “When?” “The day before yesterday, when you came to the office.” He said, “I… I received them just a minute before you walked in, but you were so excited and happy about your new job. I didn’t have the heart to ruin your happiness. I’m really sorry. I thought it was for the better if I read it first before I handed it over to you along with the changes I’d like to make in the document.” “Oh, that’s fine.” I said, “So you think it was... Fair? The document.” “It was better than what I expected.” He said, “But there are still some changes that I’d like to suggest. I’ve been in tou

Although it had not been that long since we last met, it felt like ages ago that the episode at his office unfolded. The man that I saw that day was different from the man that was standing before me now. He was confident yet receptive, angry but willing to listen, but today, he was none of those things. Today, he was cold. He had an invisible wall around himself beyond which nobody had any access.When I first walked into the room with Enzo, Calvin was already present there with his lawyer. I gave him a small nod of acknowledgement, but his face remained stoic. He revealed no feelings whatsoever, and that surprised me. I didn't understand what was in his head, but I decided to not pay much thought to it and just let the meeting begin. As both of our lawyers spoke to each other, I watched him closely and realized how well he was avoiding me. He wouldn’t once look into my eyes. It almost felt like he was punishing me for something, as though he had no remorse over

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
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 217. She's taking after you
Enzo’s POV I felt a small nudge on my stomach as I woke up. Assuming it to be Cassie’s limb, I ignored it. However, the nudge soon tickled it and then I felt something wet. My eyes opened to look at Emmy crawling on my chest, trying to bite my skin. A smile tugged at my lips upon the sight of her adorable face. Picking her up to my face, I placed a kiss on her cheek. “How did you come here, darling?” I mumbled as I shifted to my side. And right then, I saw it. A small cupcake was resting on the bed with a note that read: Happy Birthday Daddy. I widened my eyes in surprise and grabbed my phone to check the date. Damn. I really lost track of time. “Happy birthday, baby.” Cassie grinned, leaning down to kiss me on the lips. “First birthday with our daughter, aren’t you thrilled?” “Absolutely,” I said as I watched Emmy. She was making weird, excited noises now, eyeing the cupcake. Her hands were reaching out toward it, and I scraped off the frosting on top to place it on her lips.
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 216. Keep this to yourself
As I went back home, I wondered what all of that was about. The man seemed weird, but should I tell Enzo? I was worried that he was already so stressed with everything at work. I was sure he would be overthinking with this even more. The last thing I wanted was to burden him, so I guess I would have to keep this one to myself. What Kent Rover said could’ve been a result of a massive ego hurt and nothing at all. In that case, there was no reason to alert Enzo. If he approached me again, then I would talk to Enzo about it. As I went home, I found Sara and Emmy playing in the living room as usual. However, what was strange was that Mark, Enzo’s associate, was added to the mix. And from the way Sara was laughing at whatever he had to say, I could tell that they were having a rather good time. “Hello.” I said as I walked in, “Didn’t expect you here, Mark.” He gave me a casual smile as he looked at me. “I’m sorry. I’m running errands for your fiance, please don’t mind.” “Not at all.”

As his rough hands caressed my skin, I couldn’t help but succumb to the pleasure. He was masterful at his craft and I’d long lost my immunity against his ways. Everytime he touched me, he set me on fire, and I very willingly submitted myself to him. Even though I knew he would be my doom. Despite my annoyance with him, one simple touch from him made me melt like a puddle. I was weak for him once again. But I hated being like this. I hated that I had no self control over this man. I couldn’t let him overpower me like this. He could use this as a tactic to make up with me every time I was upset. As if the Lord heard my concern, Emmy’s cry reached us. We sprung apart at once, staring at each other, dumbfounded. “Is that Emmy?” Enzo asked, gasping for breath. “Yeah,” I mumbled with an equally raspy voice as I pulled away from him. “I’ll check on her.” He was reluctant to let go of his hold on my body as I pulled away. But finally, he gave in, his shoulders slumping down as his bod
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 214. Peace of mind
Later that evening, after Enzo was done with work, he walked in on me laying in the bathtub. His shoulder slumped, an exhausted sigh leaping out of him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think you were here.” “You want to join?” I proposed, knowing very well that he was dying for a bath. “I don’t mind.” Although he was still giving me attitude, he could not refuse the tempting offer I gave him. Without a word, he stripped naked in front of me and descended into the tub across from me. I couldn’t help but give him a disappointed smirk, “How long are you going to continue this?” “Continue what?” “This.” I said, motioning toward the distance between us. “Giving me the cold shoulder. Ignoring my calls. Throwing me unnecessary shade.” A hint of a smile touched his lips. “I like the peace it's bringing to my life. I might continue with this for a bit.” My mouth fell open. The bastard. Right then, Enzo grabbed my right foot from the edge of the tub and pulled it toward him, lathering it with som
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 213. Bruises
It took me a week to finally get back to work. Leaving Emmy with Sara was still not feasible, so I decided to start working from home for now. My team missed me back at the office and told me that they’d want to have me in person. But they were relieved this morning that they could see me at least on videocall. I was currently waiting for Raymond to join our private call whilst looking over the notes I made. As soon as the call connected, his face appeared. “Hello, Cassandra.” He said, “It’s great to see you after so long.” “You too. I’m excited to be back.” I said, holding up my notes, “And I came prepared. Shall we start?” “Yes, right away.” We spent the next hour discussing the project and coming up to date with what was happening. I noted all the issues Raymond faced and promised to fix them from our end. “So that’s it then?” He asked. “Yes, just one small thing. Completely off topic.”“Shoot.” “Do you know what’s up with Enzo? I can tell him there’s something at work tha
Lost And Found By The Billionaire 212. Where would I go?
Much to Enzo’s annoyance, I made sure Sara and Enzo sat at the table for breakfast. Enzo could tell that I was doing this on purpose, but he was polite enough to not call me out on my tactics. He simply poured himself some juice and got to eating. “So, Sara.” I said, “What are you studying at college?” Enzo glared at me, but he listened to her anyway. “I majored in English literature.” She said, taking a spoonful of salad into her mouth.“Oh, that’s interesting.” I mused. “Yeah, I didn’t get to finish it, though.” She said, “I had to drop out of college within eight months since I couldn’t afford the tuition. My scholarship was revoked halfway, and well…” “Why did that happen?” Enzo asked, “Your scholarship.” “Ah, well. The company that was funding my education went bankrupt.” She said, “I had no choice but to quit.” “And your father?” He asked, “He couldn’t help out?” She scoffed, “My father has been dependent on me for three years now. There’s no way he can help me.” “What

“What were you thinking?” Enzo hissed as soon as it was just the two of us. When I asked Sara if she would like to be Emmy’s nanny, she was stunned. It took her a good minute to understand the pros and cons, but when she realized how much we were willing to pay, it was a no brainer for her. She said yes instantly. Poor girl was working three jobs right now. If all went well, she could quit two of those for the pay she would be receiving here. However, the only person who was not happy with the entire set up was Enzo. “Enzo, don’t tell me this isn’t a good plan.” I said, “She is a reliable person, and she has good instincts. I mean, you’ve seen how she was with Emmy. And we desperately needed a nanny anyway.” “Yes, but Sara isn’t the only person available for the job.” He said, “God, she’s my sister. You don’t know if I want her in my life.” “You don’t?” I asked, “Is that what this is about? You can’t stand the sight of her anymore?” “That’s not it.” He gritted his teeth, “I do

Cassie’s POV Three weeks later, Enzo and I sat in our living room, waiting for our guest. It took him all these days to finally see the meaning in my words, and he decided to meet his sister now. “Where is she?” He said, glancing at his watch. “I’m running late.” “Gosh, Enzo. Give her a minute. She is in the elevator.” He let out a ragged breath. I could tell that he was nervous, but he wouldn’t let it show. This was how he’s been acting all week, as though meeting his sister was not a big deal. He was hell bent on proving to me and perhaps even himself that her presence in his life won’t matter too much. But I knew how much of a difference it would make. Especially if she was nothing like the woman he was making her out to be in his head. Right then, I heard a knock on the door making me stand up at once with a hopeful smile. I went to the door and opened it, and it revealed a familiar young woman. She looked just as pretty as when I last saw her, but anxiousness made her face
