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

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   41. A legal notice

    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   42. He lost you

    As I looked sideways, I realized that Enzo was equally astonished with what Calvin was saying. Safe to say, he didn’t see this coming either. “What do you mean?” He said, “You don't-“ “My client does not wish to speak about this any further.” Calvin’s lawyer spoke, “As he said, we will see you in court.” With that said, both the men walked out of the room, without Calvin as much as sparing a glance at me. Suddenly, everything went blank. My mind froze, and I couldn’t process anything. The room started spinning, and I felt dizzy. My heart pounded in my chest, then a high-pitched ringing took over.I felt Enzo tap my shoulder, but I couldn’t look at him. I was too disoriented to react. I realized I couldn’t breathe and started gasping for air.“Cassie!’ I heard Enzo’s alarmed voice. I tried to look at face, but the world before me quickly became dark. I felt myself losing balance, my feet turning to jelly. I expected to hit the ground, but something soft caught me. My waist and s

    Cassie's POV "I'll get the car. Please wait here." Enzo said before leaving me in the parking lot. I was waiting for his car to arrive when I saw a black Audi come toward me. I recognized that car instantly. It belonged to Calvin! I decided to stop him. Suddenly, I stepped in front of it. Soon the car came to a halt. I walked to the driver's side as he brought the window down. "Cassie! What the hell are you doing? Get out of my path!" "Why are you doing this, Calvin? What is wrong with you?""I made a mistake when I married you, Cassie! You're so shameless and disgusting! I am correcting my mistake now. I should have never tied the knot with you!" "Wow, so you've directly sent me a divorce notice? And as if that wasn't enough, you're suing me for murder? Are you for real? You know I didn't kill her!" I screamed."You're insufferable! I don't know why I married you! How can you still lie about everything when the truth is out?" "What truth? You're being fed lies, Calvin! The tru

    Enzo’s POVThe next morning, I didn’t catch sight of Cassie in the kitchen or the living room as I usually would.I cooked some breakfast for the both of us hoping that she would join me, but she remained inside her room. Realizing that she needed her time and space, I decided not to disturb her. Leaving her breakfast on the dining table, I left the house and headed to the office. I was going to have a tough and hectic day at work today, having to work with a short time frame to solve the case for Cassie. Her trial notice came out of the blue and I was rather unprepared. My prior commitments have demanded my attention at work. But ever since I reunited with Cassie, her matters have always been my top priority. As soon as I arrived at work, I called my associate Mark and asked him to come into my office. I’d already assigned him some work regarding the case yesterday night and asked him to take the help of a paralegal if he needed to for his research. Since Cassie couldn’t get any ev

And yet, I did not receive any email.I was waiting for an email from my dad. It had been weeks since I spoke to him. I had sent him countless emails in the meanwhile, expecting that he would reply to at least one, but he didn’t. He was busy with his treatment, but I couldn’t understand what could be so serious about his condition that he couldn’t even spare a second to talk to me.I was well aware that he was in touch with his legal team here as they ha

    I widened my eyes. His interpretation took me aback. “That’s not true. You are my friend, and you have a place in my life. In fact, you have a very special place. But you can’t do everything for me.”“Why? We spoke about this so many times!" he said, "You’re the reason I’m alive. I am always indebted to you."“That’s not fair. You shouldn’t have to feel the obligation-” “But you are my friend, Cassie, and you mean a lot to me. I will help you if you’re in trouble. Just like you helped me in the past.”When he put it like that, I couldn't say anything. “Please let me do my job, Cassie. I won’t let anything happen to you. In fact, I come bearing good news.” Frowning, I wiped my tears away. Clearing my throat, I turned in my seat to face him properly. “What are you talking about?” “Our case.” He said, “We’ve found some great leads and we’ve spent the entire day following it, and we’ve managed to build a great case for tomorrow. Safe to say, you need not worry about anything. We’ve go

    Calvin’s POVUpon Becky’s idea, I decided to come to this stupid pub. I was not even in the mood for it, but she forced me. She even invited my friends to come to the party so that I could have fun. But ever since I arrived, nothing has changed. I was still upset with everything that was happening around. Somehow, I couldn't keep my mind off the case tomorrow. I was anxious about it. “Calvin, come on!” My friend Jonathan said, “Why do you look like that? You’re finally going to get rid of your dumb wife. Aren’t you glad? You should be celebrating.” He was right. I should be celebrating, but I wasn’t. I was too sullen. Thank god, Becky wasn’t around, or else, she would have felt bad seeing me like this. She really wanted me to have fun today. “I don’t know, man. I can’t seem to have fun anymore.” “Well, look over there. There’s a hot chick right there. Maybe she can cheer you up?” Following his eyes, I looked toward the dance floor. I spotted the woman he was referring to but her

    I couldn’t believe this woman. She didn’t change a bit. Every time she finds an opportunity to exploit, she makes sure she gets it by hook or by crook. And that’s exactly what she’s doing now too. I clearly underestimated how smart my mother could be when she wanted something.“Of course you are, Mrs Harper.” Mrs Ashford said. “You’ve raised Cassie all these years. You must attend her engagement.” Mrs Ashford was not familiar with my mother’s game. She probably thought she was meaning well, but the truth couldn’t be farther from it. “Thank you, Mrs. Ashford.” She said, “I wouldn’t miss her engagement for the world.” “Of course, you won’t.” I said, walking away from her. Mrs Ashford followed me as I got the dress packed. As expected, the two evil women left us alone after they got what they wanted with victorious grins on their faces. Shaking my head in dismay, I walked out with Mrs Ashford and got into the car. She noticed my troubled face and reached out for my hand. “Don’t wor

    I folded my arms across my chest, glaring at her. Did they plan this? Of course they had to. There was no way they were here by coincidence. They were so eager to kick me out of their lives back then, so why did they want to speak to me now? “Fiona?” Mrs Ashford said, “What are you doing here?” Right. I forgot they were friends. Great. “Mrs Ashford, I just came to meet my daughter-in-law.” She said, “I wanted to see how she was doing. I heard there has been a lot going on in her life after the divorce…” “First of all.” I said, “Calvin and I are divorced. I’m no longer your daughter in law. And you never treated me like one when I was married to your son, so I don’t get why you’re talking to me now. If you’ll excuse us, I need a lot-” “Oh, don’t be so upset, Cassie.” She said, “What has happened is in the past. You know we don’t have to remember everything. Why can’t we make a fresh start?”“A fresh start?” I scoffed, “I’m already doing that and I urge you to do the same.” “No, C

    As I walked along the pavement of the busy streets of New York, I couldn’t help but miss the smell of the ocean, the humid air that added curls to my hair and the fresh breeze that kept me alive. Miami turned out to a perfect escape for Enzo and I. After spending our days by the ocean, strolling through the streets and exploring beautiful cafes, flying back home left a longing in my heart. I couldn’t wait to go back to Miami. “Hello, dear.” Mrs Ashford said as she saw me approaching her. Opening her arms open for me, she welcomed me into a warm motherly embrace. “You look wonderful. How was your trip?”“It was perfect.” I said, pulling away from her hug. “When have you come back here?” “Just last night.” She smiled. “I promised I would help you pick the dress, didn’t I?” “Oh, you didn’t have to come all the way here for that. I could’ve asked one of my friends to help out.” “But I wanted to be here.” She said, “I never got to celebrate my daughter’s wedding. Life’s giving me a se

    I watched with anticipation as Enzo spoke to that man. The man’s face twisted with fear, and before I could understand why, he got up from his seat and headed outside. Enzo came back to the table with a neutral expression, making sure nobody suspected anything. Once he was seated, I turned toward him to ask, “What did he want?” He shook his head, “He was someone from the press. He wanted pictures of us together.” “Press?” I frowned. He didn’t look like he was from the press. Why would he ask me to take care of Enzo if he was a journalist? “I don’t think so…” “He was under a disguise so he would look like a tourist.” He said, “It’s fine. It’s nothing we should be worrying about. I warned him to not bother us anymore.” I nodded, but somewhere deep inside, I knew that the man was not telling the truth. There was more to the story than he let on. But for now, I let it go. If I saw him again, of course, I would confront him. Right then, Enzo touched my forearm. When I looked toward h

    He was looking at me with a curious gaze, as if he was trying to figure me out. “Excuse me?” I said, urging him to move. “You’re Cassandra?” He asked. He didn’t seem like a native english speaker. “Uh… yes.” I said, “Do I know you?” He shook his head, “No.” He said and glanced behind him toward our table. “You’re with him?’I looked at Enzo. “Yes. What do you want?” “Nothing.” He said, stepping away. “You take good care of him, young lady.” I frowned, but took the chance to walk away. As I walked back to the table, Enzo turned around to reach out for my hand. As I took the seat beside him, I turned around to see if the man was still there. He was gone. “What’s the matter?” Enzo asked, looking at my confused face. “Nothing.” I said, turning away. “It was nothing.” ***After lunch, Enzo took me to one of Miami’s tourist attractions- Wynwood Walls. It was an art museum of sorts situated in the streets, with many famous artists displaying their work there. As a fellow art lover

    The next morning at breakfast, I made everyone some coffee for their hangover. After Enzo and I went to bed, the party continued till morning downstairs. It was Phoebe’s birthday today, so we had an entire day planned. Sadly, we'll probably have to cancel a few of them today to let these guys rest. “You were wild last night.” Enzo complained, “How long did the party go? Three? Four?” “Three thirty in the morning.” Leo said, clutching his head, “I’m just glad we made it back to the villa in one shape. We were drunk off our faces last night. It’s a miracle one of us hasn't jumped into the ocean.” “Jesus, I should not have left you guys alone.” Enzo said, sipping on his coffee.“It’s fine, Enzo. at least we had a blast.” Phoebe said, looking toward me with a sorry look. “We missed you. I hope you’re rested well for today.” “I am.” I said, tucking behind a strand of hair. “Wait.” Phoebe said, catching my hand mid air. She examined my finger then and showed it to Enzo. “Is that an eng

    I lost track of time as I fell into bliss. By the time I found my way back to Enzo’s lap, I was utterly exhausted, yet not satisfied. “Tired already?” He said, brushing some wet strands away from my face. “Shall we go to bed?” “No.” I said in a stern tone, fixing him with a glare. “Get your hands off of me and let me do my thing.” He gave me an amused look and watched me struggle against him. He then stabilised my hip, and that’s when I found the chance to wrap my hands around his dick. And then, I slowly guided it toward my slit. “So wet, baby.” He said, taking me in for a kiss. “Always.” I said, and gently started rubbing against him, coating his length with my wetness. I could feel it harden with every stroke, his breath growing heavy with each passing second. When he had had enough, Enzo gripped my grips tightly, forcing me to freeze. Then, he took his dick and thrust it into my vagina. “Ah!” I groaned as he suddenly filled me up with his girth, digging my nails into his sho

    I groaned against his lips, and before I knew it, I was straddling his thighs. “Enzo…” I whispered against his lips, “I need you…” “I need you too, darling.” he said, and pulled us both back until he rested against the headboard of the bed. I stared into his fiery eyes burning with desire. Holding his jaw, I dropped soft kisses along his neck, travelling down toward his collar bone. As I climbed back up, his lips seized mine at once, holding them captive. Right then, his hands travelled to the sash of my robe and gently tugged at it. The loose cloth came apart at his mercy, parting to reveal my torso. Without breaking the kiss, Enzo’s hand travelled in to graze the skin of my chest, his fingers quickly spotting my erect nipple. “Ugh!” I groaned as he pinched at it hard. Breaking away from the kiss, I looked at him. He smirked as he saw my face, “That good?” He said, “How about this then?” He proceeded to pull the robe away from my mound and dipped his head to take my nipple int

    “What is your problem, Cassie?” He mumbled, looking at me in absolute defeat. “I’m sorry?” I said. “What are you doing?” He asked, “Is this some sort of a punishment? Do you want me to die of an early heart attack or something?” I widened my eyes at his absurd words. “Enzo, come on. Don’t be silly.” I said, pushing aside a strand of wet hair. Enzo sighed and got up from his place. Fetching a towel, he went to sit behind me and put the towel to my head. Rubbing my head gently, he asked, “Then why are you doing this?” “I’m not doing it on purpose.” I said, “It’s not like my life’s agenda is to trouble you.” “That’s what it looks like to me.” He said, rubbing my scalp with the towel. I didn’t say anything for a while, only let him dry my hair without whatever it was that he was doing. After he was done, threw the towel aside and sat behind me, legs hanging on either side of me. “Why didn’t you wait for the girls at that shop?” He asked, breath fanning against my neck. “Why did yo
