91. Everything to lose

2025-01-30 06:00:32Cassie’s POV
I did not speak to Enzo for the rest of the week. I was too angry with him.
I did not understand what his problem was. I knew plenty of colleagues who dated, but nobody ever said anything to them. Then why me? Why was there a special focus on me?
I was not even breaching any rules. Yet, he was accusing me of it. I was not going to tolerate it. He can’t treat me like a child anymore. I have made poor choices in the past, but he cannot taunt me for it. I have learned from them. And I will definitely not repeat them.
Without realizing it, it was Friday. That meant I would be going out with Patrick for his dinner.

Cassie’s POVI went to the office lounge area in search of Emma. It was an open space with a huge balcony with a great city view. I frequented this place whenever I needed some air and it was a secret hideout spot for me and Emma because very few people came here. It was not hard for me to spot Emma there.But what I did not expect were the tears in her eyes. I felt horrible that I was a cause for them.She quickly wiped them away when she spotted me and sat up straight. She gave me a nasty glare as I came to stand in front of her. She looked very angry and betrayed. She probably misunderstood me and I could not wait to set the record straight.“Hey…” I said, “Emma, can we please talk?”

Cassie’s POVI just opened the Uber app when I heard Enzo’s voice from behind.“I’m about to leave for the office. You can come with me.”Ignoring him, I went ahead with my task. I have been ready to leave for work for the past half hour but I couldn’t find a cab. Enzo has been noticing me for long and finally broke his silence. But I will not go with him, obviously. I had too much pride for that.“No, thanks.” I muttered, nonchalant.He rolled his eyes, “Don’t be silly. You’re coming with me.”

“What?” Enzo screamed in horror. “Patrick? Patrick Jones?”“Yes.” I said, “He’s the one that’s been poaching our clients, Enzo. Think about it. Every case that we’ve lost has him in common. He is the only person in the tech department that can pull off something like this. And you don’t have to merely trust my words. I have proof of everything.”With that, I handed over all the files to Enzo. As he began reading them, his eyes widened in surprise. Soon, shock claimed his face.“I can’t believe this. Where did you find all of this?”“Well…”“What?”“I…” I hesitate

Cassie’s POVI was serving some pasta onto my plate when I sensed a presence behind me. I looked over to see who it was and realized that Emma was standing behind me.I continued serving some more pasta and some garlic bread before I moved to my table. Taking a seat on it, I began eating alone. Soon, I was interrupted by someone and I paused to look up. To my surprise, it was Emma once again.“Yeah?”“Can I sit here?” She asked.My brows went up in surprise but I quickly nodded, “Sure.”After she took a seat, she sighed, “I heard about what happened.”

Becky’s POV“Ah! Yes! Harder!” I was moaning in delight as he pounded into me.“You feel so good.” He whispered into my ear from behind, pulling the strands of my hair. I loved it when he did that.He increased his pace suddenly and helped me climb my biggest highs. Within seconds, I achieved an orgasm and fell onto the mattress. Flipping my body, he looked down at me lustfully.Calvin had left for work early in the morning today and still didn’t return. Hence, I made use of that opportunity and had sex with my bodyguard, Arthur. Since Calvin barely showed any interest in having sex with me, I had to look for other ways. And Arthur was the perfect person fo

Cassie’s POV Ever since I was informed about the Hackathon, my eyes have been glued to my codes. I spent the entire week reviewing my college notes and watching various courses online. Since there was not much work at the office, I was allowed a work-from-home facility. I spent a lot of my time studying at home. When it was finally time for the competition, I was prepared, but I was also very anxious. Enzo didn’t fail to notice that either. As I handed him a cup of coffee, he saw how my hand was trembling. “Are you nervous?” He asked. “Yes.” “But why? It’s a simple competition. There’s no pressure, Cassie.” “I know, but I want to win it.” I said, “I worked so hard for it. I just… I want to prove to myself that I still have it, you know?” He smiled. “It’ll be fine. I’m gutted I can’t go with you, though.” “It’s fine. I’ll manage.” I said, “Besides, your meeting is more important.” “Call me in case you need anything. And don’t worry, I know you’ll do great.”***Lawrence droppe

By the time I reached the fourth round, there were only six contestants left. Surprisingly, Becky was also one of them. I couldn’t understand how she managed to survive all those rounds. They were fairly tough, and she couldn’t possibly have gotten through them without having some coding knowledge. I quickly finished the fourth round, and when the results came, I was relieved to know that I was promoted to the next and final round. To my surprise, Becky was also promoted, along with two others. In this round, our scores would be evaluated and the highest scorer would be awarded the prize. Hence, I tried to focus on the task at hand and gave it my everything. After about ten minutes, the round ended and all of us stepped down from the podium. We anxiously awaited the results and when they were out, everyone was shocked. “We’re aware that everyone’s waiting for the results, but we must tell you that the competition has not ended yet!” The host revealed. “Much to our surprise, there h

After spending the next twenty minutes taking appreciation from people and networking with a bunch of techies from other companies, I finally found a moment for myself. I moved away to watch Becky begging the competition hosts to excuse her behavior, as she is not in a position to afford the fine. I could help her out of pity, but I did not feel any for the first time. I felt nothing toward her, except disgust. She deserved everything that was happening to her. I wonder how she will explain this to Calvin. “Congratulations, Cassandra.” I heard Professor Clark’s voice from the side. As I looked at him, an involuntary smile spread across my face. “Professor Clark, how nice to see you.” “You too, Cassandra. It is so nice to see you put your talent to good use.” “Professor Clark, I must thank you for your help today and for your word during my court trial. You were one of the very few people who came forward to support me, and it was of tremendous help.” “Of course, Cassandra. I was

I just made some mandatory small talk and exchanged some pleasant smiles with them.I don’t know how long it went on for, until my grandparents had to tend to some other business and that gave us a chance to finally meet our friends.“Thank God you’re here.” Kelly said, sighing, “I thought I wouldn’t catch you tonight.”

Enzo’s POVAs I made my way upstairs, I caught Mr Ashford coming down. “Oh, you’re not staying for another drink?”“No.” I said, “Cassie is alone. I better head back.” A smile broke out on his lips, “Well, keep her happy.” He said, giving a pat on my shoulder “Big day tomorrow.” “Yeah,” I said, as it suddenly occurred to me why we were here. It was for our engagement. It was supposed to be a happy getaway for us from our busy lives, yet here I was, striking business deals and threatening people to stay away from my soon to be wife. Fucking hell. I made my way to my room, expecting that Cassie had already gone to bed. But I was wrong. She was in the bathroom, the door slightly ajar. It was a silent invitation for me. I walked into the candle lit bathroom a minute later, having abandoned all my clothes. Cassie was peacefully resting until I arrived, and when she noticed me, her face broke into a grin. Without needing more of an invitation, I got into the tub, wrapping her legs arou

Enzo’s POV The entire time at the dinner, Axon tried to avoid my eyes. He has already got an earful from Mrs Ashford earlier, and judging by the look on her face right now, he must have got it real bad. Well, he deserved it and more. More of which will be delivered by me at the end of this shit show. Beside me, Cassie fell into an easy conversation with the others at the table. Few more people have joined us since the breakfast, most of whom were distant relatives of the Ashfords and some close friends. When we came to the end of it, Mr Ashford invited me for a drink with Alfred and Axon, hoping to put out some fires between us. Well, it was the perfect opportunity for me. Somewhere after my second Whiskey, Mr Ashford got a call from his missus, and he excused himself. “Don’t wait for me, gentlemen.” he said, “Though, I’ll be back soon.” As Mr Ashford closed the door behind him, Axon looked toward me. I took the seat right across from him, resting my leg over the other knee. “

I watched Axon in astonishment, barely grasping what he just uttered. Soon, his image became blurry in front of my eyes, my tears betraying me yet again as I tried to hold them back. Axon’s face twisted with confusion and then with worry. He realized that he hit the nail on the head, but he hit it too hard. “A-are you… crying?” I sniffled, wiping my tears away. “Look, Cassandra. I didn’t-” “There you are, dear.” I heard Grandma’s voice, emerging behind Axon. As he turned around, her face revealed to me. “I was looking everywhere for- Cassie! Are you okay?” Enzo was trailing behind her, looking into his phone. But as he heard the alarm in her voice, his eyes shot up to see me. And he did. He saw the tears. “Oh, dear. Why are you crying?” Grandma came to hold me, rubbing my shoulder, but I avoided her eyes. I was just watching Enzo as he came to me, and then his eyes slowly shifted to Axon. His jaw tightened. “What the hell did you do?” “I… I didn’t do anything. I was just talki

He turned around to look at me. “I can’t believe he’s related to you.” He said, “That fucking Bastard.” I rested my hands on my hips. “You sued him in the past?” “He screwed my client over, Cassie.” he said, “I had to teach him a lesson.” I frowned, “Wow, this was just what I needed.” I said, taking a seat on the bed, “Didn’t you think he was bitter about me too? The whole family? They were looking at me like the sole purpose of my visit here is to steal their property.” “Selfish vultures. All of them.” He said, “Axon is a power hungry beast. He cares about nothing more than money. I’m sure he thought he was invincible when the property was all going to be his. But with you in the picture, I wonder how much he’s getting.” “This is so silly.” I said, “Why would Mr Ashford invite them here if he knew about them?” “Well, he doesn’t. Or perhaps, he refuses to accept it.” He said, “You’ve heard it yourself. Mr Ashford treats him like his own family. And I don’t think they return the

“Axon.” Mr Ashford boomed. “Boy, why are we discussing that now? We’re not here for that.” Axon’s jaw was tightened as he continued glaring at me. And then, he looked at Mrs Ashford, his face softening, “I’m sorry, Grandma. I was just… taken aback seeing him there.” “Well, he is soon going to be your family.” Mr Ashford said, “What’s in the past better stay in the past. He might have been your business rival then, but now, he’s the man marrying your cousin. Don’t you forget that.” “I know.” He said, “As long as he doesn’t come after me, I’m fine with having him around.” “Well, it was part of his profession.” I said, “I’m sure things will be different now. Why don’t we just forget what happened and make a fresh start?” “Of course, that must come easy to you, right, dear? Making a fresh start everytime life gets inconvenient.” Alfred chimed in, “Just like your mother. What a dear soul she was.” Although his words were intended to be kind, nobody missed the hidden undertone of it.

We were having breakfast in their backyard this morning, and my eyes were just wandering around as Enzo conversed with my grandparents. The Ashford’s estate back in the states was one thing and here in Sicily was completely another. To say it was magnificent would be an understatement. It was a huge property amidst which lay the house that we were staying at that could easily house 250 guests I think. It was built in a true European style with no compromise on the size and the quality.“Cassie?” I heard Enzo's voice, and when I turned toward him, he was already giving me an amused smile. I guess it was not the first time he was calling me. “I’m sorry, yes?” “Mr Ashford has some good news to share with you.” “Is it?” I said, turning toward him. “Yes, dear.” He said, “Turns out, your mother and mother-in-law are not going to make it to the engagement.” I widened my eyes at that, “What? How did you manage that?” “Well, all thanks to your father, I must say.” He said, “He learned

The meeting went on for another half hour before we decided to call it a day. Enzo and I were about to head out when Raymond called my name. “Yes?” I said, turning around. “That software you used…” He started, “Is that your company’s?” “Nope. It’s mine. It was my project in college.”“I see.” He mused, scratching his jaw. “Well… I think we would benefit from it. Do you have any plans of selling it?” I smiled, “Sell? Raymond, I’d give it to you for free.” His brows went up, “Seriously?” “Of course.” I said, surprised that he even thought I would accept his money. “How about I rent it then?”I scoffed, “No, I’m not accepting any money from you. I never created this to make money off of it. Use it for as long as you want. I’d be glad that it is of some use to someone.” “Well. I don’t know what to say.” He said, giving me a grateful smile. “Thank you so much, Cassie.” “As long as you don’t regret hiring me, I’m happy.” He laughed, “Never.” Wearing a smile I got into the elevato
