All Chapters of Collared by the Valentino twins: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Matteo Valentino~•~Her jaw fell open like she couldn't believe I would punish her, but I was serious about it.When I came to the office and didn't see her inside already, my brain was immediately transported to the last time she said she wouldn't be coming in.My first thought was that something bad had happened to her. When I called her phone and she didn't pick up, I got more worried.I told Rowan about it and he told me that she was probably going to be late because of the party they had last night. That was when I found out they threw a party. He showed me Jules' story because I barely used Instagram and I saw a few clips of Cassandra, who was already slightly drunk.Thanking him for the information, I left his office and went back to mine. Then, I called Lauretta and she confirmed that Cass was alive and well, just slightly hungover."You're right," I told Cassie. "I was very worried at first. Then, I saw what you had been up to and I was downright disappointed."I saw her swa

Cassandra Salvatore~•~My alarm rang and I stopped it immediately. I had been awake for hours because I couldn't sleep well.I didn't have the will to leave my bed nor did I want to go to work.Don't get me wrong, I loved my job. I really did but the week had consisted of other employees talking behind my back, and for the ones who were brave enough, they talked when I was present.It was maddening.When I came home on Monday, I'd told Jules all about it and she had told me to ignore them. If only it was that easy.I wished I was able to block out their words. I wish I didn't take every little comment to heart."Is this another day where I have to drag you out of bed so you won't make your boss mad by going late to work?"I groaned when I heard Jules' voice and pulled the comforter over my head. Jules was not a morning person but there she was, waking up early to make sure I got out of bed early."I will eventually," I told her and it was the truth. I had to make breakfast for my sib

Cassandra Salvatore~•~"I am never going to work ever again." I groaned for the umpteenth time.Jules chuckled beside me. "Why are you freaking out? I'm sure it's not that bad.""Not that bad?" I repeated, grabbing a jar of milk. "I turned into an awkward mess immediately after confessing. They were amused.""But did they look repulsed by the fact that you were in love with them?""No.""Then, that's all that matters." She patted my shoulders, rushing off to go find whatever junk she liked to snack on whenever she was busy writing.Immediately after I'd told the Valentino twins that I loved them, I pulled away from the little hug and asked for the shirt he wanted to give me. He had opened his mouth to say something but I wasn't ready to hear it, insisting on having the shirt instead.His tongue poked the inside of his mouth as he walked away to retrieve the shirt while I stood, my back facing Rowan."Princess? Are you good?" He had asked.My cheeks were burning with embarrassment so

Matteo Valentino~•~Cassandra came in with a lot more makeup than usual today. Her makeup was usually light or non-existent which made me wonder if anything happened to her the previous day.As far as I knew, we had put the real threat to her behind bars. I didn't know what else could be the problem and I didn't ask. If something was wrong, I needed her to be able to come to me and say it so I didn't press.She was still acting awkward after her little confession yesterday. I could tell it slipped out unintentionally and I didn't know how to deal with the fact that she hadn't been willing to admit it with the way she ran off immediately after.A knock on the door to my office caught my and Cassandra's attention.I straightened in my seat, already knowing who was behind the door. "Come in."The door opened slowly and a brunette peaked her head in. Her eyes darted to Cassandra's desk and she immediately scowled.It brought a frown to my face. "When I said come in, I didn't mean to hand

Cassandra Salvatore~•~Rowan and Matteo took me to a very expensive restaurant. They had booked a private room, not because they were ashamed of me, but because people were bound to look at us and judge me for being with two men.I admired the fact that they always felt the need to protect me. It was sweet.It was a restaurant I never knew existed because of how expensive it was. I'd taken a look at the menu while ordering and the prices of the food had my eyebrows in surprise.Rowan had told me not to worry about it and while I stopped worrying, I didn't know what to order. I could barely pronounce the names of the dishes on the menu which led to Matteo ordering for me, assuring me that I would like it. The food finally came and after confirming with Matteo that I did like it, we all started eating in silence.I didn't like silence.I cleared my throat, making both of them raise their gazes at me. I bit my lip, not knowing how to start the conversation, knowing I would sound eager
