"But all my stuff is..." She stopped, his words slowly registering with her.His cell phone rang, and he finally looked at her. "I will ensure that Rosa packs up your stuff with the utmost care."Rosa was going to pack her stuff; she was going to leave for New York...Kassandra stared at the empty space he left behind for a few seconds. The shock gradually faded, leaving nothing but panic in its wake.Throat dangerously close to tears, she found him in the study that offered a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower.He was on the phone, listening, but his gaze stayed on her face. And that’s when Kassandra noticed the white pallor on his skin.She would have welcomed his blistering contempt, or even his lacerating fury. But the resignation in his gaze... as if he had lost something precious. as if he had finally given up.The minute he disconnected the call, she stepped inside."If he comes for me, he has to get through you, doesn’t he?" She demanded, anger coming to her rescue. She wou

Her collection at the Independent Fashion Week in New York had gone better than Kassandra could have imagined in her wildest dreams. Her designs had been called modern, colorful, yet sophisticated. Just last week, with Helene’s advice, she had invested a load of money into creating a lookbook that incorporated line sheets, one that gave buyers and fashion magazine editors a view into her brand.After a crazily hectic two weeks, she had returned to Athens. When she had knocked at Mrs. Kovlakis’s door and requested the keys to her old flat and the dragon had simply handed them over, she had been both shocked and relieved. One look at the news and she found Kal and Darian and herself at the front and center of it.Hiding and barely eating, she had slept for a week. All of a sudden, she would find herself awake and looking at her phone, before she realized she was waiting for his call.Had he so thoroughly washed his hands of her? Had she truly meant nothing to him?She had cried until sh

She ran shaking fingers over his brow, pushing back his hair. "When I’m with you, I’m unafraid. All I want is to take risk upon risk, all I want is to live and love you.""Then let’s do it."Burying her face in his neck, Kassandra nodded, her head dizzy with euphoria, fear beating a tattoo. He pushed them both off the bed and brought her to the edge of it. While she shivered all over from the intent on his face, he knelt in front of her.Looked at her with such love in his eyes that fresh tears fell on her cheeks."Will you marry me again, Kassandra?" he asked against her lips. "Will you...choose to spend the rest of your life with me?"Kassandra buried her mouth in his throat, swallowed the tightness in hers. "Yes, Darian. I’ll marry you... Tomorrow, if you can arrange it.""No, not tomorrow," he said, tugging her face up to his."Why not? Are you having second thoughts already?"The ache in his eyes undid her. "I...want you to have the wedding you’ve always wanted. I want to take yo

"And she has been dealing with guests?""Yes," Dylan croaked. "Well, she’s been closely supervised, of course.""She has been bringing up details for paying guests."‘Er, yes…’ Dylan nodded. "But, as I said, only with supervision." which wasn’t strictly true—Dylan had been out for more smoke breaks than Brianna could count. Still, she was hardly going to tell Elmo that."If she is good enough for my guests," Elmo responded, with the martyrdom only the truly pompous could muster, "then she is good enough for me."If he called her again, Brianna decided, then she’d jolly well give him a piece of her mind.As his black eyes fell on her, Brianna recanted.Well, maybe she wouldn’t actually say anything. Still, she could think it—divine he might be to look at, but he was a loathsome, arrogant, chauvinist brute. Blushing with a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment, she furiously backspaced as she spectacularly mistyped. After an exceedingly long moment, Raymond Phillip’s details finally fl

"You’re either very late leaving or arriving incredibly early.""I’m waiting for a taxi," Brianna mumbled."You’ll be waiting a while—the night match at the tennis just wrapped up."‘I heard.’"Would you like a lift?"Just like that, he said it—just like any normal person would say it. Only he wasn’t just a normal person, and Brianna had difficulty coming up with a normal answer. She just stood there mute for a moment as a few hundred thousand dollars’ worth of sleek silver sports car pulled up and the valet handed him the keys."I was expecting the limousine!" She put on a plummy voice and raised her nose in distaste at his stunning car—then panicked that he wouldn’t get her rather offbeat humor.Sorry about that... You’ll just have to slum it in this... He didn’t just get it, he topped it! As Giovanni opened the passenger door for her, Elmo peered inside at the immaculate leather upholstery. "I can look in the boot for a newspaper or something for you to sit on, so you don’t mess up
