After the fifth shot, I realized that I had had enough.
I was feeling too light and dizzy, and everything around me seemed funny. I don't know how long Hank, Phoebe and I were dancing and chattering until our legs gave away and begged us to take some rest. After taking some rest for a bit, Phoebe and Hank went back to the bar to join Enzo and Leo and I watched them order another round of drinks.
Their stamina knew no bounds, I thought. I would fade in comparison.
Resting my head against the table, I closed my eyes to catch some rest. It did make me feel good for a bit and the nauseous feeling that arose within my stomach when I took my last shot slowly disappeared. My body cooled

Lost And Found By The Billionaire 76. Injuries of my past
Enzo’s POVShe might as well have driven a sword through my chest.I ceased breathing at that moment, completely taken aback by her statement. It wasn't her words precisely that shocked me, but rather the intensity with which she declared that. As though she had full clarity regarding the matter and that she would not go back on it or have second thoughts."Are you okay?" She asked, tapping my arm."Yeah..." I said, "I was just shocked. You seem to have strongly made up your mind.""Of course, did I have a choice?" She said, "After what happened with Calvin... I realized that no man is worth so much effort. I have given my marr

Cassie’s POVI woke up the next day inside something. Not something. Someone. Someone was hugging me from behind and it felt amazing. But I was confused. Who was holding me? I turned around on the bed to see that it was Enzo.My eyes went wide when I saw him. What was he doing here? And why was he holding me? Did we... do something? Did I say something stupid? Or did we commit to something last night? I couldn't remember. When I looked down, I saw that I was fully dressed.I sighed in relief. So nothing happened.I slowly tried to move away from him. As I inched closer toward the edge of the bed. Suddenly, I lost balance and landed on the ground.

Sadness instead filled my chest. Poor girl! Emma didn’t deserve that. It was an indirect rejection to her.“Oh, Emma!” I said, “I’m so sorry.”“It’s fine. I didn’t have any expectations from it either.” She said, “In a way, it’s good because I can fully move on now.”“I suppose.” I said, “Patrick wants to meet you by the way. He told me just now.”She nodded, “I’ll be back then.”With that said she walked to Patrick’s room. Sighing, I turned toward my monitor and got to work. Only five minutes passed whe

I was stunned to hear her. Wow. That’s the phone call he wanted to make?“Damn, girl.” Emma said, impressed. “The man is too sweet. He’s a keeper for sure.”I ignored her and pulled out my phone to type him a quick message.‘You paid for the dress? You didn’t have to!’ - Cassie.Three dots appeared in a balloon instantly and his reply came soon after.‘Consider it as my bribe for asking you to be my plus one.’ - Enzo.I smiled.“In t

“Hey John!” I said as I made my way to them.I purposefully ignored Calvin’s angry gaze on me. I had no idea that he was going to be here!“Hello, Cassandra.” John smiled, “What a pleasant surprise! Let me introduce you to my friend, Calvin Anderson.”I was forced to look at my former husband now. With an indifferent smile, I offered him my hand, “Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr. Anderson.”“Likewise.” He said with bitterness. He held my hand in a firm handshake before he let it go.“So Cassie, fancy seeing you here.” He said, “Who are yo

Calvin's POV“Becky!” I yelled as soon as I stepped into the house.She was probably asleep, but I couldn’t care less. She had some explaining to do!“Becky!” I yelled again when I didn’t get a response from her.“I’m in here, Calvin!” She screamed back. The voice was coming from our bedroom.I quickly went there. She was slowly sitting up straight, looking at me in surprise. She turned on the bed lamp then.“What’s the matter?” She asked, “Why are you yelling?”“I need some answers from you!” I sa

Enzo’s POVI downed my second dose of coffee for today, and yet, the throbbing headache didn’t subside.I groaned in regret as I thought about the weekend. I had to meet with Leo and Hank last night for an event and I had a little too much to drink. Because of that, I was not able to focus on my work today.Thanks to the charity ball, I managed to land a very important client. He was Harris Gerald, one of the biggest clients we landed this year. He’s been on our radar for a quite a while, and he has finally agreed to meet with us today. I couldn’t let anything meddle with that.The meeting had to go well.“All set?” Patrick said as I walked into

I scrambled to my feet nervously. Trailing behind him was Patrick and he looked equally disturbed. I had no idea why they looked so angry.Enzo slapped a file on my desk. When I looked at it, I realized that it was Harris Gerald’s case file. Frowning, I looked up at him. “Enzo, what’s the matter?” I asked. “You’re asking me?” He scoffed, “Open that file and look at it for yourself.” I grabbed the file at once and flipped through its pages. A certain page caught my attention, as it was struck off with a red ink. I quickly started reading it and soon, I realized the blunder I had made in it. I couldn’t believe it. How did I miss something so significant? Where was my mind? I had no answer to myself. I looked up at him helpless, “Enzo…” I started, “I’m sorry. I had no idea-” “You’re sorry?” He demanded, stamping his hands on the desk. “I just lost one of the most important clients and all you have to say is sorry? How can you be so irresponsible, Cassie?” I felt my throat dry up.

“How old is your baby?” The nurse asked as she handed a crying Emmy back to me. “Four months now.” I sighed, patting her. “Oh, Emmy. Calm down. It’s over, isn’t it?”She just received her vaccine shot and came out of the doctor’s office bawling her eyes out. “She’s so adorable.” She mused, handing me my file. “I would agree but she’s throwing too many tantrums lately.” I said, “She could be a handful when she wants to.” “I wish I could say it gets better but it truly doesn’t.” She laughed, “But that’s what we signed up for, right?” “Yes.” I said, kissing my daughter’s tear stained cheek. “Let’s go home, shall we? Daddy’s waiting for us in the car.” Emmy just replied with another sob, burying her face in my neck. As we went out, I spotted Enzo’s car in the parking lot and headed toward it. I quickly got in. “These vaccination visits are so difficult.” I said, as I closed the car door. “I just can’t see Emmy crying so much. I just walked out of the doctor’s office today, can you

After the party, Enzo, Emmy, Sara and I headed back home. Sara was shook from the entire episode that played out and remained silent the entire journey home. As we went in, I looked at her. “Take the guest room. You can rest there.” She didn’t move an inch until Enzo looked at her. And then, she said, “I can’t live here.” She sighed, “I… I can’t… I don’t want to be a burden on anyone.” “Sara, you’re not a burden.” I protested, patting a sleeping Emmy on my chest. “I will be if we continue this arrangement.” She said, “I don’t want-” “How about this?” Enzo intervened, “I’ll give you a house. It’s right by your workplace. That way you won’t have to live with us, nor with your scum of a dad.” “A house?” She said, “I’m sure I can’t afford the rent.” “You can live there for free.” He said, “I just… I don’t ever want you to go back to that house.” Sara stared at him for a long while, as though she was trying to figure him out. “Why are you doing this?” “What?” “You didn’t even wa
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

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

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

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
