Cassie’s POV 

I 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

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   98. A surprise

    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

    The party was in its full swing but Enzo wasn’t anywhere around. I slowly slipped on my champagne glass, sitting alone in a room full of people. Mark and Emma were speaking to some other people on the opposite end of the room. I was watching them aimlessly when I heard someone’s voice from beside me. “Hello, Miss Harper.” A male voice called me. As I turned to my side, I found an elderly gentleman smiling at me. He had kind blue eyes, with a warm expression on his face. He looked to be in his sixties. I have never seen him, but I didn’t feel intimidated by his approach either. “Hello, sir. I’m sorry, but may I know your name?” He laughed, “My bad. Let me introduce myself to you, dear. I’m Tom Mathews. I’m a senior partner in this firm.” “Pleased to meet you, Mr Mathews.” “Likewise.” He said, “I just came here to congratulate the woman who is the reason for this fantastic celebration. The firm needed it more than you.” “I’m glad that Enzo.. I mean… the CEO has organized it. It’

    “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

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   179. A new project

    The morning of our Italy trip, Raymond called us for an emergency meeting. Enzo and I had already finished our packing for the trip, so we were able to find time to go to his office. I had an idea about what this meeting was going to be about, and my suspicion was proved right once we arrived there. “The bidding for our new project in the UK is just a week away,” Raymond announced, a tired look claiming his face. I could tell that he must have endured many sleepless nights over this. “I have a feeling that Calvin Anderson is going to win this one as well. Like he always does.” “That will be what, his third time in a row?” I asked. He nodded, “He bids the lowest amount for every government project that he wins. If you look at the numbers, it’s practically impossible to finish the project with that budget. Forget breakeven, you will run into losses with that amount. I don’t know how he’s making profits from it.” “Well, do you have the data of your last three biddings?” I said, “I ha

    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
