The First Encounter
Last Updated:
2021-08-29 07:57:13Cassie was immediately alert. She got up and reached into her drawer for her gun. Call her paranoid but there was a time she felt she was being watched she had gotten herself a gun then. She also attended a martial arts class because she felt she needed to know how to defend herself. She hid behind her door with the gun in her hands and listened. The intruder was taking rather noisy steps and it's either he thought she wasn't home or he was just really arrogant. Either way he would soon learn that he had picked the wrong person to mess with. After the count of three she immediately opened the door and pointed her gun at the intruder.
"Ahhhh", Sarah screamed
"What the hell?!", Cassie yelled
"Sarah what the hell are you doing here?!"
"And what the hell are you doing?!"
"I thought you were an intruder", Cassie replied putting her gun down
"How the hell did you get in here anyway?", she asked
"Um don't you remember that one night when you were really drunk and I had to bring you home? I saw your passcode that day when you were trying to open the door. Now for God's sake put that thing away. You nearly gave me a heart attack.", Sarah replied
"Fine whatever", Cassie replied going to keep her gun in her room
"You could have told me you were coming though", Cassie stated as she plopped lazily on the couch
Sarah Lee was her best friend. Her only friend. They had met in high school after she lost her mom. She attended a high school that was meant only for the elite. All the kids there were children of rich families. As a scholarship student they already treated her as invisible because of her status and that wasn't about to change just because she lost her mom.
So one day she was seating alone at lunch as usual, staring at the mac 'n' cheese in front of her as she remembered all those Sundays when she and her mom would prepare mac 'n' cheese together. The tears just came pouring down. And Sarah, she had come to seat with her. She looked up at her as she reached in and hugged her. She didn't say anything. She just hugged her as if she knew that was what she needed at that moment. Ever since that day Sarah had sat with her at lunch everyday. Apparently, Sarah had liked her for a while now and wanted to be her friend but was a bit too shy to come and talk to her.
From then on they became friends. Really close friends almost like sisters. She was there for her every step of the way. Even when she wanted to start Turner Enterprises Sarah had offered to help her with some money but she had declined as she didn't want her success to be attributed only to their friendship. Now Sarah's family company was one of their biggest partners.
"I did. I called you like 15 times but you weren't picking my calls so I got worried and decided to come check up on you", she replied
"Are you alright?", she asked
"Why are you asking? I'm fine as you can see.", Cassie replied looking away from her
"Really? Because it's past 10 am and the great Cassandra Turner is still at home. If that isn't a beacon that something is seriously wrong i don't know what it", Sarah replied. Cassie sighed she knew Sarah was right.
"So go on tell me what happened", Sarah said sitting on the couch beside her
"I met with my father yesterday.", she started
"You did?"
"Yeah.. Yeah I did"
"And what happened. Did it not go well?"
"I don't know. I just felt really sad and hurt"
"Well what did he say. Did he apologize"
"Yes he did. He even said he could explain. Sarah I think I just lost it at that point. I mean what could possibly explain him abandoning me like that?", Cassie said breaking down
"Awwn come on now he probably had a really good reason"
"I don't know Sarah. I couldn't really listen to him anymore at that point. I just walked out" Cassie continued crying.
Sarah immediately pulled her into a hug comforting her "Hey hush now.. It's okay....... It:s alright no more tears it's gonna be okay hm?"
Cassie finally calmed down a bit
"Feeling a bit better?", she asked
"Yeah a bit.. but I don't think I can go to the office today"
"And I wouldn't even want you to. Come on get dressed. Put some concealer on those puffy and swollen eyes. I'm taking you on a fun filled trip for the whole day something to clear your mind. And I'm not going to take no for an answer"
"Come on now", she continued as she pushed Cassie towards thw bathroom
Leo was sitting in his office when his secretary came to inform him that he still had an appointment in Kingston that day. He looked at tbe time. It was 10:30am and the appointment was by 1am. But seeing how it felt like he was going to drown from thw pile of work. He felt he needed some fresh air so he decided to head over to Kingston now by car. "Maybe he would walk around the city and enjoy the scenery a little before his appointment", he thought. He got up, took his car keys and told his secretary he was heading out. He wanted to be free today.
"So where are we going?", Cassie asked Sarah who was currently in the driver's seat
"To Kingston", she replied
"The city is absolutely beautiful this time of the year", she continued
"Alright", Cassie replied as she started humming a song. If any of her workers saw right now so relaxed and humming they would probably have a heart attack. She smiled at her own thought. When Sarah saw her smile she too broke into a smile. She just knew that this trip would be good for Cassie. She had a really good feeling about it.
After they checked in their hotel which was the Elite Star Hotel. They decided to explore the city a little bit after they had brunch. They hadn't eaten anything yet and it was a bit too late for breakfast so they decided to have brunch instead.
After they finished eating they decided to go to their rooms to freshen up a little bit. They decided to meet at the lobby in fifteen minutes. Cassie decided that although this trip wasn't planned she would try and make the best of it by trying to relax and loosen up a bit. So with that conviction she decided to wear a pair of denim shorts, a white long sleeved button up top and have her hair in two braids and matched it off with a pair of ankle boots. All in all the outfit made her look really young and youthful. When she was satisfied with the way she looked she headed downstairs to meet up with Sarah.
As she made her way downstairs, Cassie turned a lot of heads with her stunning looks but she ignores them all.
"So are you ready to go?, she asked Sarah as soon as she spotted her. Sarah too was also wearing something similar.
"Yes let's go", she replied
"So where do you wanna go?", Sarah asked Cassie
"The park", she replied
"The park? I'm sorry who are you and what have you done with my friend? The great Cassandra Turner wants to go to the park?", Sarah exclaimed
Cassie just looked at her and laughed then she replies "I just wanna feel happy today"
"Ok then girl you know I got you covered"
Leo had just arrived. He decided since he still got some time till the appointment he would walk around the park for a while and clear his head. As he was walking along the park he looked at the different rides and there in front of the line candy store stood the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She was dressed simply in a pair of denim shorts, a white long sleeved shirt half tucked in and had her hair in two braids. She wasn't wearing any make up and that made her look all the more beautiful and youthful. As he was staring at her she also turned to him and at that moment by pure accident their eyes locked and it was as if the world had stopped for both of them.

Cassie and Sarah had arrived at the park earlier. Sarah immediately started drooling as soon as she saw the candy stores. Sarah has a sweet tooth so she's a sucker for sweets. She dragged Cassie to the candy store and stood there trying all the different flavor of candy trying to decide which one she would by. Cassie just stood there watching Sarah melt over the candies laughing. Sarah was always so hilarious when it came to sweets and right now she was stuffing her mouth with them making her look really funny. With a big smile plastered on her face, she realized that for the first time in a while she actually felt genuinely happy. Looking around the park, she locked eyes with someone else and for that moment as they stared deeply into each other's eyes, Cassie was mesmerized. Only one word came to her mind at that moment; "handsome". Yes the stranger in front of her, staring at her right now was so freaking handsome. His well sculpted face and those deep brown e

Earlier that day, Leo had attended his appointment. He was supposed to meet a business partner that afternoon then meet a representative from another mafia gang later that night. But he had been caught off guard. He didn't know that it was a trap set for him by the Santinos. They had obviously had help from an insider for them to have had him fooled so well.What happened was Leo had showed up on time for his appointment with the representative from the other mafia gang on time. But when he got there the other had not yet arrived so he waited. He didn't know that outside the Santinos were already putting their men in position. He waited for 30 minutes and by then he had already started getting really impatient. He called out to the man who he thought was a "muscle" from the other mafia gang and asked in a cold and domineering voice that would give anyone chills, "When is your boss getting here?" Soon the man had replied him stating that his boss had

The first thing Leo thought was that he had been captured by the men running after him the previous night. But then he faintly remembered escaping last night. So what happened? Where was he? He looked round the room. He was currently on a King sized bed. It looked like he was in a hotel room. There was a vanity table next to the bed and it's content led him to believe that the occupant was a woman. There was a make up set on the table, some hairbrushes and fragrance. But why would he be in a woman's hotel room? Then it hit him; he was kissing someone last night! He remembered running towards a club's back door entrance and seeing a woman standing there. She had clear blur eyes and looked so much like the lady he had seen at the park earlier that day. In a bid to escape from his pursuers he had grabbed her and kissed her. He also remembered she seemed really angry and had slapped just before he passed out. So was that where he was now? That woman's hotel room? Bu

As he stood so close to her that Cassie could feel his breath on her skin. It tingled and it was like something inside of her awoke. She looked back up at him with the same fierce eyes trying to conceal what she was actually feeling inside. She replied, "You can consider it however you want. If you want to consider it a threat go ahead". Cassie slowly moved away from him and walked back into the living room. "Although I would consider it a friendly reminder", she continued. Leo was stunned. Never had a woman or anyone ever challenged him like that. He swiftly turned back to look at her and asked, "You don't know who I am, do you?". Cassie looked a little bit surprised as she turned back to him and replied, "No, should I?" "Well you should considering I am........", Leo was going to introduce himself when she suddenly interrupted him "Oh wait I just realized I have no interest in the identity of a perver

"Yes a contract", Cassie replied"And what would this contract state if I may ask?", Leo asked clearly getting more and more intrigued by this woman."That you would help me whenever I need your help",she replied "As I said earlier I am a business woman and as a business woman I'm about to dabble into business people around me believe I shouldn't because I am a woman", she continued"Well if it is what I'm thinking it is, then I'd suggest you listen to them. A woman like you has no business dabbling in matters like that", he replied"Oh but I beg to disagree", she started with a glint in her eyes "I don't see why my gender should matter in business like this. If I remember correctly in business like this it is power that speaks, no?", she continued"And you think you have that kind of power?", Leo asked half amused"And what if I say I do", Cassie replied"I'd say you are definitely delusional", Leo stated with a smirk"Y

**WARNING: SOME SLIGHT SMUT SCENES TOWARDS THE END. PLEASE FREE FEEL TO SKIP THAT PART IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE**"And after yesterday I think I'm going to steer clear off drinking for a while", Sarah finished"Hm hm", Cassie absentmindedly replied. Sarah stopped talking and looked at her"Cassie", she called "Cassie, Earth to Cassandra!""What?! Why are you yelling?", Cassie asked startled"Probably because you've been spacing out and not been listening to anything I have to say.", Sarah replied"What are you thinking about?", she asked"Nothing", she replied"Oh really?", she asked suspiciously"Yes", Cassie affirmed"Ok forget that. Maybe now you can tell me exactly what happened last night", Sarah said"What do you mean? Nothing happened with me last night.", Cassie replied rather uneasily"Really?""Yeah I wasn't feeling great so I decided to come back early, took some meds and then I wen

Leo's face fell as the person at the other side of the door immediately jumped on him and hugged him. Leo immediately pushed the person off. He then tried to slam the door shut but the person was quicker than him and immediately squeezed into the room. Leo sighed as he locked the door and walked back into the living room."Uh bro is that how you are going to treat me""Why are you here Edgar?", Leo asked as he sat on the couch"Why am I here? I heard you got into a bit of a situation with the Santinos. How are you? Are you okay? You didn't break a nail did you? Have a fracture? Break your spleen?", Edgar rambled on as he started fussing over Leo checking him if he was alright."What do you think you are doing? Get off me!", Leo bellowed"How could you say that to me? Do you know how worried I was?", Edgar replied feigning hurt"I thought I'd loose my best friend before he even had a chance to sleep with a woman", h

Edgar stopped walking as soon as he noticed Leo had. He looked up at him and saw that he was staring at somewhere and looked over to see who he was staring at. He looked over and saw Lucian Santino; Leo's archenemy. The Santinos were another really powerful mafia family. Some even said they were on par with the Minettis. The only difference was that the Santinos was a relatively older family. Edgar didn't know why but apparently some bad blood had been going on between the two families for decades now. And Lucian Santino was the heir to the Santino family. He was about the same age as Leo. But he was the exact opposite of him. Although he was smart and very handsome that one could easily mistake him for a model, he also had a rather easygoing and friendly personality to hide his devilish side. He was cunning as he was ruthless but only when he needed to be. He was also the pride of the Santino family. He ran their company and so far he had been very successful with that

48 Hours before"Hey bro, what's up?", Edgar asked a very tired looking Leo."Hm", Leo acknowledged his presence without even looking at him."Woah. You look like quite stressed out", Edgar noted."You can't even begin to imagine. With dad away settling the investors overseas and also working on something secret I don't know about, I have to take care of everything here and many other major issues. It's taxing", Leo replied."Too bad dude. See this is why I would never want to be you.""Of course. You are better off just being irresponsible and childish", Leo fired"Hey! That hurt you know?", Edgar said pretending to look hurt."Whatever. What do you want this time? Why did you come?""Heol! Are you trying to say I can't come to see you without wanting something?", Edgar asked pitifully"Yes", Leo replied blankly. "What did you do?", he asked"Nothing! Ah you really don't have much fate in me. Well for your
Vengeance: Her Ultimate Puzzle Second Meeting
Knock knock. "Enter" "Miss Turner, the interview will begin shortly." "Alright. You may leave.", Cassie responded. She sighed before trying to call Sarah again. Beep Beep. The sound of the line being disconnected came through on her phone. "Once again there was no reply", she sighed again before putting down her phone. She couldn't really blame Sarah, she was a bit too harsh to her last time. Cassie sighed again before standing up from her chair. She put herself together and headed towards the room where the interview was going to take place. Today they were holding an interview for the post of Assistant to the Marketing Manager. The last one was fired due to his incompetence. And to prevent that from happening again she wanted to oversee this interview herself. She wouldn't be the one conducting the interview. She would just sit on the sidelines and watch the procedure noting down some important things or anyone who pa

"Who came to see you?", Leo asked with his brows raised."Miss Lee, Miss Turner's friend I believe", Edgar replied nonchalantly"Oh? And what did she want?", he asked relaxing on his chair."She wanted you.""What?!", Leo nearly choked on his saliva."Oh?", Edgar raised his eyes to him"I didn't mean it that way. She came asking about you.""Asking about me?""Yeah. She wanted to know your information."Leo thought about it for a while before he slowly asked in a low voice,"Well.... was she asking for herself or did she say someone sent her?"Edgar eyed his friend for a long time. Looks like Leo's feelings for Cassie ran deep. He clearly wanted to know if she was looking for him. Could this actually be a good thing?"She said she was there for a friend." Leo's eyes sparked"But I don't exactly think Miss Turner actually sent her, if that's what you wanted to know"Leo raised his eyes.

Minetti MansionLeo sat in front of his father. His father had been silent since he arrived and honestly it was beginning to get on his nerves. He was not in the mood for whatever mind games his father wanted to play with him, he thought as he sighed wearily. He glanced at his father again.Growing up, Leo couldn't exactly his father was the best father. Heck! His father wasn't even a normal father much less the best. At a very young age Leo was already being trained for when he would take over his father's position in the Mafia. At age 7, he was already being trained in martial arts. Age 10, and his father already thought he was old enough to use a gun. He remembered on his 12th birthday his father had gifted him a gun as a present. "Definitely not a normal father", Leo smirked. But then again his family wasn't a normal one anyway. But regardless of how weird Leo's father might have been, he had loved his mother. And that was one thing Leo respected about him. He had
Vengeance: Her Ultimate Puzzle The Right Thing
"Nothing?", Cassie asked as she looked at Sarah. "Yes nothing. I couldn't find a record of any Leo around either Lucian Santino; which was quite understandable at first because it seemed they weren't too close but with Edgar Monroe? I was expecting to find something since they seemed really close but I couldn't find anything. It's almost as if such a person doesn't exist around them.", she replied. Cassie fell into deep thought. It's either Leo was no one significant which seemed very unlikely because they should at least be able to find something about him if he was ordinary or he wasn't an ordinary person at all. Then who was he? He was acquaintances with two very powerful people and now they couldn't find anything about him. "Anyways I think maybe I didn't dig deep enough. Maybe I should try...." "No don't", Cassie said "What? Why?", Sarah asked her dumbfounded. "No need. I shouldn't focus myself on finding some man anyway. It's not my way.

"He's here! Everyone to your stations!". These were the shouts that rang through the precinct as the police officers readied themselves for the arrival of one of the most important figure in their entire State Security Department.He walked in with a powerful aura. Calm yet powerfully he headed straight for the Chief's office ignoring all the people who had lined to greet him."Woah. Who is he?", one of the younger policemen asked an older one."Sealey", the older one replied."Detective James Sealey. One of the most brilliant detective in our entire State Department if not the entire country", he continued in awe."Woah", the younger one responded surprised."Then what is he doing here?", another young officer asked."I heard he was recently transferred to our District on Special assignment", the elder one replied."Really?", the officer responded as he looked towards the Chief's office where the man was currently shaking hand

The Minettis are currently invested in finding out the people behind it as they lost a lot""And the information?""We made sure they only got the information we purposefully released to them""Good.

"So I think I know a way to find him", Sarah announced as she barged into Cassie's office. Cassie sighed,"Sarah what do you think you are doing? This is my office you can't just barge in here like that. And who are you talking about?""Your mystery romance of course""Ah", Cassie signed once again. She was beginning to regret telling Sarah what happened. Because as you can see, she gets a little over excited when it come to things like this. Now she was talking about looking for him."Sarah, please just leave it okay? I really don't want to", Cassie attempted to make her drop the topic."What do you mean you don't want to? You have to find him then punch him in the face for ever leaving like that. Like seriously how could he just leave like that?""Aish I swear if I was you and I get my hands on him I'll wack him on that nice smooth butt of his", Sarah said."What?! Sarah!""What?

"He already checked out ma'am", the receptionist told Cassie. Cassie looked at the woman and calming herself down she asked, "Really?", she still couldn't believe it. "Yes, this morning he checked out. He looked like he was in a hurry to catch a flight", the receptionist replied politely. No, Cassie wouldn't believe it. He had actually left. He had left without saying goodbye. After everything yesterday he had left just like that. Since Cassie was drunk last night she couldn't remember much, but she remembered her had carried her to her room and she had said somethings. What she said exactly? She couldn't remember but she didn't think she had said something that would make him leave just like that so why? Why had he just left her like that? She had woken up this morning with a headache only to see that he was gone. She had searched her room and had rushed down to the reception desk not minding how she looked only to find out that her fears were actually true.
