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
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’
I looked at Enzo’s proud grin as he took the trophy into his hands.“Wow.” he said, “This looks so great, Cassie.”“All thanks to you.”He frowned and looked up at me. “Me? I didn’t do anything. It’s all on you.”“No, not really.” I said, swallowing. “Whatever I did today was because of you. Because you gave me a chance.”“Oh, come on, Cassie. Don’t be so formal with me-”I stepped forward and threw my arms around his neck. I could sense him f
Cassie’s POVBy the time Enzo finished his call and walked back to me, I jumped from the desk. He gave me an absurd look, unable to understand my behaviour.“Cassie…” He began.But before he could stop me, I rushed out of that room. Shit! Shit! Shit! What the hell did I do?I could not face Enzo. I could not face anyone. I went to the elevator and clicked it open. Before he could get onto it, I pressed the close button and watched as the doors closed on him.“Cassie, wait!” He said, but it was too late. The elevator started moving.After a minute, I got down on the lou
Enzo’s POVWhen I woke up the next morning, Cassie was not beside me.I remembered that she fell asleep on my shoulder last night. When we finally reached home, she looked too peaceful. I couldn't wake her up. So instead, I scooped her arm into my arms in bridal style and went up. I made her sleep in my room, as sleeping beside me helped her with the nightmares. I hoped I could speak to her about what happened this morning, but obviously she escaped.She was being too childish. How long is she going to avoid me? I could always confront her in the office. And that’s what I planned to do.I reached the office and decided to get done with the important tasks of the day before I called Ca
Cassie’s POVTears poured down my cheek as I walked out of his office. His voice was calling me from behind, but I did not stop. Instead, I walked into the files room to escape from the scrutinizing glances of everyone.I could not believe what I just saw. Liza was Enzo’s girlfriend. Why was I not told this before? Why did Enzo keep this from me? If I knew about his past with my sister, I never would have made the mistake of kissing him.Much to my dismay, Enzo entered the room right after me. I groaned as I looked at him.“Enzo, please leave me alone!” I said as I covered my face.“Cassie. Listen to me!”&n
“Here you go.” Mr Lee handed me a cup of black coffee as per my wish.I gave him a grateful smile. Behind him, the morning sun was glaring into my eyes but it felt rather relieving to be basking in its rays.“You look tired, Miss Harper.” Mr Lee said, “Rough night?”Right then, Enzo placed his breakfast tray beside mine on the table and took a seat. My face reddened, and I meekly nodded.“I guess I’m just tired. Can’t wait to go back home.”“When is your flight?”“In four hours.”
A lump formed in my throat.Suddenly, I was scared to look into his eyes. And before I could stop them, tears rolled out of my eyes.I watched Enzo’s face twist with concern, and he quickly leaned toward me.“Cassie, why are you crying? Does it hurt?”I tightened my jaw in shame, holding back my sobs. Enzo quickly slipped out of me, and I suddenly felt empty. He took me into his arms and gently stroked my cheek.“Cassie, you’re scaring me. What’s the matter?”“I don’t know…” I admitted. “I guess&h
I felt my dress slip away from my body with ease at the mercy of his hands. I looked up at his hooded eyes, taken aback by the hunger in them. I never felt so desired by a man before. And oddly, it stirred a new confidence in me. I did not feel shy to finally get intimate with a man. Rather, I felt like I was meant to share this experience with him.“Having second thoughts yet?” He asked, rolling my hair into a thick bun behind my head. I felt a weird sensation travel down my entire body as he pulled at my roots.“No,” I said, “Just wondering why I resisted this all these days.”He raised his eyebrows up at me, “Because you’re an idiot.”H
Mr Lee's party did not fail to surprise me. I widened my eyes at what looked like a mini casino.“Damn,” I said, “Look over there. It looks like Mr Lee has just won a round of poker.”Enzo followed my gaze to look at Mr Lee holding a stack of notes in victory. His eyes fell on us then and he gestured for us to come over.“Come on, Mr DeLuca. Join us.” He said, pulling a chair beside him.“I don’t play poker, Mr Lee.” He said.“Ah, that’s too bad.” He clicked his tongue before looking at me. “Perhaps Miss Harper can join us?”
Mr Lee was not kidding.His beach property a few kilometres away from his residence was astounding. It was a member’s only resort, meaning only the wealthy had access to it. Mr Lee’s friends were also here for a small get-together, and we would be joining them to have some fun.“My staff will guide you to your villa, Mr De Luca.” Mr Lee said as we got out of his car. “This is mine. I’ll be heading in. See you in the evening for dinner. Don’t be late.”“Sure. Thank you, Mr Lee.”Only when we reached our villa did it occur to me that I would have to share it with Enzo. After all, in Mr Lee’s eyes, we were a couple.I humped
Warm rays of sunshine woke up the next morning.And as soon as I did, I realized that my body was pressed against Enzo's!I widened my eyes in surprise. Our legs were entangled, and our bodies were cuddling against each other.How did we end up like this?Somehow, I got out of his hold and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When I came back, Enzo was wide awake."Shit." I muttered to myself, holding the towel closer to my chest.Enzo's eyes lifted to steal a glance at me, and surprise was evident on his face. I watched as his jaw clenched. I knew too well that his gaze was not an innocent one. Grabbing my bag, I almost ran to the walk-in closet to change.After a while, we were on our way to meet our client.“It’s an unusual place to set up an office, isn’t it?” I asked once we got into the car.“Yes, which is why it's not here.” Enzo said, “It’s in Seoul. Just that Lee
By the time Enzo returned, I managed to regain some of my composure.I found a movie to watch and was about to play it when I heard someone giggle near the aisle. It was right outside mine, and it was two girls, possibly in their teens, who were gushing.The brunette said, “Oh, my god. Did you look at that man? He looks like a Greek god!”“I know right!” The blonde replied, “He’s like chiseled to perfection. I’m sure he’s european!”“Probably, but wow. He’s so hot. I wonder if he would be up for a quick snog in the washroom.”I widened my eyes in amusement. Who could be this handsome hunk they were talking about?
The weekend arrived sooner than anticipated.I barely had enough time amidst all of this to process that I was going on a business trip with Enzo. What the hell! How was I going to survive it?“You're carrying your passport, right?” Enzo asked as we arrived at the airport.“Yes.” I said and pointed to my shoulder bag, “Right here.”Nodding, he walked us to the private lounge area reserved for business class passengers. We took a seat by the couch, and instead of making conversation with me, Enzo opened his laptop and started working.Although he asked me to accompany him, Enzo barely made any effort to make things less aw
Cassie’s POVNext day at the office was rather awkward. Enzo and I ended up travelling in the same lift along with Emma, yet we didn’t exchange any words. As we got off on our floor, Emma asked me,“Is Enzo okay?”“Er… yes. Why do you ask?”“He seemed grim.” She said, “Didn’t you notice the circles under his eyes?”Well, I did. And it pained to know that I was the reason for it. I wish I could help him. But how? I was the reason he was suffering. How could I alleviate his pain?“Work stress, perhaps.” I said.
