Carlos was not really surprised about the discovery. He has always known that Eros was bound to find out in one way or the other and he was ready to deny whatever accusations were thrown at him or he was going to accuse Dimitra of trying to seduce him. Since she was attacked by the mysterious woman that kills all of Eros' love interests, they have not been together, but she texted him that she wanted to see him at night. He would go and he would let her know about Eros' suspicion, but he came to the estate for another reason. The slave named Lucia had been wonderful to him the last time he was there and had left him wanting more. She had been so tight and wet that he had released in a matter of minutes. He has never felt like that fucking any woman before. She had promised him more if he made himself available again. Now he was available and he was going to a spot where she asked that they meet. He got up from the stool in the kitchen and walked out, looking around to make s
"Your sister?" Cassandra asked and Bully nodded. She found it baffling that he has a sister and yet he gave women this gruesome treatment with his master. "She is dead," he said slowly and dropped the towel in the bowl. That made Cassandra's heart fall. "Panda, I'm so sorry about that." Bully peeked at her and his face twitched up in a lopsided smile that didn't last. "Why do you keep calling me Panda?" "Because you are as cute as a panda." Bully reached into the first aid box to take out things he needed to treat her wound and she watched him. She was getting into him gradually and really wanted to hear about his sister and how she reminded him of her. "So, was your sister this hard-headed?" "Oh, so you know you are hard-headed. Alina was way too stubborn. But she was a strong girl who thought she could become a man." "Wow, she must be an interesting person." "Yes, she was. I loved her so much. We were the only children of our parents." Billy put the band-aid to her ch
Cassandra felt a jackhammer hitting her head, her head swayed from side to side and then her eyes flew open, but everything seemed so dark, and she wondered if she was still wallowing in unconsciousness. She whimpered and tried to shake her body. Someone removed the blindfold from her eyes, and it took a few seconds for her sight to register her surroundings. She was in a dimly lit room, on a bed and her legs were spread. She tried to close them, but she couldn't, they were tied and hung on the bedpost. She tried to stand and only realized her hands were also hanging off cuffs from the bedpost. A man walked up in front of her bare chest; it took her a few seconds to realize he was Eros. Her heart flew away. Why was he hanging her on the bed like that? Was he going to force himself on her? Has he already done that? She paid attention to her body to feel any pain or feel strange, but the only pain was in her head. She watched him as he moved closer to her and ran his finger down her t
Cassandra didn't believe her eyes and she blinked twice to make sure she was not hallucinating, but he was still there. Suddenly, her wetness that was throbbing stopped abruptly. "Apollo..." she whispered, but Apollo put his finger between his lips, motioning her to remain quiet. She nodded. She suddenly felt naked, her whole sense sipped back into her. Even behind the mask of beards on Apollo's face, she could still recognize him. She knew him too well to not recognize him. He walked up to her and started to untie her from the bed. Someone has to wake her up from this dream sooner because she didn't understand. "I have come to save you," he whispered in her ears after untying her hands. She had to grab his shoulders to make sure he was real, she needed to be assured that his solid form was there with her, her heart almost collapsed with relief when she felt him. He will have a better explanation for this. He slowly untied her legs too and she sat there for a while, looking
Eros walked into the room, unbuttoning his shirt and to his surprise, Cassandra was tied up in his bed. He doesn't bring his sexual escapades to his room. The only woman he'd had sex with, in his room was Dimitra and it was only once. Looking at Cassandra tied up there, naked, with her arms and legs spread out and inviting, he felt his manhood swell. But he wondered how she got there and who tied her up. To his surprise, she had a smile on her face, a sexy smile that sent electricity running through his veins and he felt desire surge into him like a flowing stream. He stood there looking at her and when he opened his mouth to say something, she interrupted him."Isn't this what you wanted?" she asked in a sultry voice that made his shaft stand and threatened to tear his pants. He could even feel it throbbing. The thought of filling her up debilitated him already. She smiled at him again as if she read his mind and led his gaze with her eyes from her face down to her supple breas
The car pulled up and Leo, Eros' assistant quickly went out of the driver's seat, went over to the back door and opened it for Eros, he stepped out and stood tall while Leo went over to the other side and opened the door for Dimitra. Eros waited for her to come to him, then he arched his elbow and she put her hand in. They walked hand in hand to the entrance of the tall building that had about eight-four floors. Two security men opened the door for them and bowed slightly as they walked into the reception.They were going to meet up with his business partners for a new project that requires a couple to handle. Eros didn't bring women to his business, so he had never thought of settling down, but the project at hand needed a married man or at least a committed man, he would have rejected the offer if it wasn't for the amount involved and the relationship he has with the clients. He didn't have anyone to go with, so he called up Dimitra since she was the only woman, he had close c
Eros was restless and paced up and down his balcony, Cassandra was driving him crazy. Thoughts of her were imprinted deep in his memory, never had he seen anyone so adamant and strong-willed as she was. He was tired of tormenting her to bend her to his will. The torments don't seem to bend her, rather they seem to strengthen her the more and he was furious about it. He didn't know why he was so fascinated by her anyway. She was just like every other woman he had slept with, there were no differences in their cunts, but he still wanted her.Maybe Javier was right, he should loosen up a little, she might come begging, but how would he loosen up to a mere woman? He bore a grudge against women, a grudge birthed by his mother, and these women keeps proving him right, maybe except Cassandra, she was a whole different species of her own and she sure hit him like a meteorite. He ran his fingers through his messy hair and walked into his bedroom. He shouldn't be wasting his time thinking
Cassandra was caught between two men whom she didn't want to provoke. She was sure that Apollo would retaliate if Eros did something to her and that would be the end of everything. Apollo was no match for Eros when it comes to violence. If he ever finds out that Apollo was there in disguise, he will kill both of them and rip their flesh from their bones, so she was going to keep it cool with Eros, at least now, she has something to live for. At least she was sure of one thing now, Eros won't force himself on her if she didn't want anything, Lucia was right about that.They followed Bully to the dining where the table was set for two, Eros was already there seated, stalking her with his grey eyes that reminded her of the sky. She didn't hide the surprise on her face, and she looked at Apollo, his face was expressionless, she hopes he doesn't make a fuss about this later."Sit," Eros said with authority, waving her to the chair opposite him.Cassandra obeyed without hesitation. Sh
Hurray! Book one has finally ended and I am so excited. However, I am sorry to break your heart about the suspense. I know I left you hanging, but you can still find out what happened in BOOK TWO titled HEART OF THE HEARTLESS. It will come soon, and I will announce the date soon.For now, I need to focus and write my final exams and I promise you it's going to get better in book two. However, I did not end BOOK ONE because of the exams or school. This is how I wanted to end it to make up for a better BOOK TWO.I want to thank God Almighty, who kept me alive and safe despite all the crises in Nigeria. I travel and come back in peace, and nothing happens to me. He kept me alive and strong through the year and even led me through surgery and other things. He is the reason I could still type out this story.I also want to use this opportunity to thank each one of you that followed me through this journey. The journey of Eros and Cassandra has not ended yet, but the first part of it ha
ABOUT TO WED The day of the wedding finally arrived, and Eros could not contain himself. He was nervous and excited at the same time. He had been asked not to see his bride before the wedding, something about a bad omen, but he itched to see Cassandra before they walked down the aisle. He was in the room with Javier and Pedro as his best men and had assigned security in every corner of the hotel. He wanted to make sure nothing would go wrong. It was a small private wedding, just as Cassandra had requested and he bought the idea because he did not want to risk anything happening.He paced around his room like a cock in heat while Javier and Pedro watched him."Why are you pacing about?" Javier inquired.Eros stopped and sat down on the bed; his legs quivered on reflexes. "Can't I just hear her voice for only a few minutes? The wedding starts in an hour; we still have time.""You can call her if you want to hear her vo
It had been a week since Eros' proposal, and he was so elated. He never failed to tell anyone who cared to listen that he was engaged and never failed to present Cassandra to them, even though Cassandra warned him against it, he was just so happy and in love to listen. His proposal stirred mixed reactions in the mafia world, especially among the girls. They did not believe Eros could settle down with a woman, especially not a woman like Cassandra.Eros and Cassandra fixed their wedding date and were preparing for it together. Cassandra's father had been discharged from the hospital and Cassandra knew he was not a huge fan of Eros, but she needed his blessings, so Eros had decided to visit him and tell him about their plans, although they doubted, he had not heard yet. The news of their engagement spread like a wide fire."Are you nervous?" Cassandra asked him while making his tie. He wore a dark, tailored tuxedo that looked nice on him."Shouldn't I be?" he replied.Cassandra smiled
"Yes," Cassandra said. "But why do you keep proposing without a ring?"Eros' head snapped up from her neck, his face clouded with surprise. "Did you just say yes?"Cassandra nodded before answering. "Yes. I will marry you, but you must propose properly with—""Of course, of course," Eros interjected and surprised Cassandra when he ran out of the bath naked and returned with a shirt, fumbling inside the pocket. He looked hilarious with desperation. He finally fished out a little blue box, tossed his shirt away, and almost slipped when he was rushing to Cassandra. She burst into laughter, and he joined her."Please, do not fall and injure yourself," she cautioned. Eros went over to her and kissed her lips gently."I won't, tesoro." He lowered to his knees, looking up at her. He could not believe he was finally about to spend the rest of his life with her. He opened the box and the diamond glimmered in the light. "Cassandra Marie Lopez..." He chuckled, and so did Cassandra. "I am not
Eros removed the cloth covering the woman's face and stared at her. She glared back at him, not even looking scared. He had never seen this woman before. Why does she attack women he had something to do with? His eyes scanned her body. He had asked his men to strip her to her underwear, and they did. She didn't have any tattoos, no marks, no scars. Was she working for someone? They didn't torture her because Cassandra wouldn't like it. She had begged him to hand the woman over to the police once he caught her. He would hand her over, but not without trying to pry out information from her. She nearly killed his woman."Who are you?" he asked in a gruff voice."Fuck you," the woman retorted.His hands folded into fists, and his jaw clenched. He would have tortured her in the worst possible ways if it were his old self. This woman had the gut to curse at him. He stretched his hand and Javier handed him the gun. He moved closer and bent so that his face was on the same level as the woman'
It's been a week since they attacked Cassandra. Her injuries were healing pretty fast, and she left the hospital once she regained consciousness. Eros has been nothing but a sweetheart. At first, he wouldn't even let her feet touch the ground, and she had everything she wanted right there in bed. He would hold her and lead her to the bathroom, get her dressed, sing hilarious lullabies for her to fall asleep, and wake up early to make the cooks prepare breakfast and bring them to bed. All that caring made Cassandra heal even faster. Eros had also taken tighter security measures and Cassandra had remembered Apollo mentioning hidden cameras in the house. Eros had called a bug team that swept the entire house, taking away all the devices. They increased security around the mansion by ten and he was extra careful, letting nothing pass him. They were still tracking the woman and Eros told Cassandra that he would get the woman that next day.Since Cassandra was strong enough, she felt s
"Fuck!" Eros cussed for the hundredth time, biting back tears as he paced up and down the hallway. His whole shirt was drenched in Cassandra's blood, but he cared less. Javier, Pedro, and Vikky stood behind him silently. "How did I let this happen? I swear, I will kill that bastard!" "Eros, you have to calm down," Javier said. Eros turned sharply to look at him. "Calm down, you say? Cassie is in there fighting for her life, and you say I should calm down?" "What do you plan to do? Breathe life into her or something? Cassie needs you now. She would not want you to be like this. We must be calm and think about the next step." Eros' eyes were red and glassy. "It's all my fault," his voice broke with emotions. "I should have protected her." Javier walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Eros, listen to me. This is not the time to apportion blame or linger on emotions. This is the time to think and act fast." Eros knew he was right. He needed to pull himself together a
It was over a week since Eros and Cassandra got back together. Things moved smoothly, and they were happy. Eros was a sweet man, and as days passed, Cassandra realized the young man was loved-starved. He just needed someone to love him, and she showed him as much love and care as she could. His childhood story wasn't completed yet, but she knew most parts of why he was the way he was and was determined to help him overcome that trauma. Eros managed to convince her to go to the private college he found. It was a few minutes drive from the mansion. She was thrilled by it; her dreams were finally coming true.Her father was still in the hospital. He was recovering well, but the doctor recommended bedrest, and Eros decided he stayed in the hospital and had all his needs taken care of. She knew her father was not optimistic about Eros, and she understood him. Still, she was so in love with the mafia man and was ready to prove to her father that Eros was a good man and, beyond his gruff
Once Eros dropped Cassandra in the mansion, he jumped back into the car and headed for Marco. Even with all the tactics Cassandra devised to stop him from going, he didn’t yield this time. The bastard had beaten more than he could chew, and he was ready to end Marco’s bullshit.He turned off the engine once he was at the site and got out, taking in his surroundings. Marco was a sly bastard; he needed to ensure the whole place was secure. Not that they weren’t careful enough, there were men in the control room, watching every cranny around the warehouse, even the surroundings. If any danger were lurking, they would find out. He stalked into the warehouse where Javier and the others waited, blowing smoke from his fat cigar.Marco was strapped to a chair in the centre of the room. His face was bruised, and his head hung, he was so motionless that Eros thought he was already dead. There was a deep cut on his temple where a lone blood trekked down to his cheek, his lips were swollen, a
