LOGIN“Alright. Let's get going, it's getting late” Cassia said to Carter.They played and had enough fun for one day.~Secret warehouse~“Boss, I sent you some pictures just now,” the shadow said to the person on the call.“Alright. Will check them out” the voice came on the other side and hung up the call almost immediately.“Why is this whole thing getting really interesting?” The shadow muttered, bringing out a stick of cigarette from the packet laying on the table and lit it, putting it between his lips and puffing out black smoke.~Back at the clan~ “I'm so tired,” Cassia grunted as they came down from the car heading inside, then she turned, taking a look at Carter“Thank you for today, Carter” she said, with a light smile“It's a pleasure. I hope you had fun?” He asked with his hands in his pocket.“Yes, I did. Can't remember the last time I had this much fun” she said, chuckling.“That's fine. We're friends now. So expect more of it. If you don't mind” Carter said, staring intentl
Author's POVFrom the corner of a scattered warehouse stood a shadow, standing by the corner of the broken door, a phone held to his hand.“I want you to check in on everything that goes on at the clan and report to me. Do not miss out on any single detail” the hoarse, deep voice came from the other side of the call“Alright boss. I got this” the shadow said, and ended the call abruptly.Taking some steps forward, he brought out a stick of cigarette from the side of his pocket, and lit it, putting it between his lips and puffing out dark smoke.The mission is far from finished. It has only just begun.Cassia’s POV The sun shone brightly on my face, making me wake up.It is a beautiful day. But what's more beautiful is the fact that I have to play my violin. Can't believe I missed it this much.I stood up from the bed, rushed to the window to open it and have a clearer view of nature. I miss my life, my world. This place isn't for me. Not at all. David. My mind flashed back to the n
Cassia’s POV*Knock Knock*I heard a faint knock on the door. So I came down from the bed and went to get the door.Opening the door, I was an unfamiliar face wondering who he was.“Good day, Mrs Valez. Boss Carter said I should give this to you” the mobster said, handing over the violin to me.“Ohh, thank you” I said, taking the violin from him and thanking him with a light smile.I still can't believe Carter would go this far to get me the violin just because he wants us to be friends. I really feel like there's something up his sleeves, but I can't just place what it is.Opening the violin case felt like my heart was being handed back to me.The moment the latch clicked, a soft breath of warm, resin-scented air rose to my face- familiar, comforting, almost like the violin itself was exhaling after a long sleep. The burgundy velvet inside hugged the instrument so snugly it felt like I was intruding on something precious.Then I saw it.My breath caught.The violin wasn’t just beaut
Cassia’s POV Finding out about Lucian's past was definitely not going to be easy. I was prepared for her reaction, so when I asked her that question and she changed the topic, I knew I'll just have to wait till whenever Lucian came back.“Yeah, sure. Remember, we have to meet Carter concerning the violin” I said, stealing a glance at her because I had already ruined the mood with my questions.“Sure Miss Cassia. Just let me know when you want to meet him, and I'll take you to him” she said while still avoiding eye contact with me.Moving back inside, we headed to Carter's office, I've never been here before, and surprisingly, it looked so arranged and organized. I'm sure the maids were the ones that cleaned it. Carter can’t be that clean, considering his nature as a person.But like they say, don't judge a book by its cover, so for this one time, i’ll give him a benefit of doubt.The office had a glass window that you can easily see anything far and wide, it has such a beautiful view
Carter's POV “Yes boss” I picked the call“How is everything going?” The deep, hoarse voice came from the other side.“Everything is in order” I replied to him“And her?” He asked calmly and I knew instantly who he was referring to.“She's okay” I gritted my teeth as I replied.“How is the search for Elena going? Any progress?” I continued, changing the topic.“My men are working hard to find her. I won't be back until we make progress with the search. Until then, take care of the clan and take care of her. I'm hanging up now” he said and hung up immediately.What exactly does he see in Cassie? How exactly has she trapped him? I guess I have to find out for myself then.Game on.Cassia's POV I woke up to the sun shining brightly on my face. I was so tired and just wanted to lay in bed all day. But who am I kidding? I'm just a captive here. I don't have that right to be free around here. ‘Knock knock’I heard a knock from the door.“Come on in” I groaned, pulling the covers over my
Cassia’s POVSomething in me, just something told me Carter was up to no good. Why the sudden change of character? I just couldn't help but to be very careful around him.I heard the door open, it was Miriam, she looked somewhat awkward like something happened out there.“Are you okay?” I asked with genuine concern. She nodded, still awkward around me. “I brought you lunch” she said as she dropped the tray on the table beside the bedstand. “I’ll come take the plates once you're done” she said and immediately hurried out of the room shutting the door behind her.Strange, really strange. Just when I thought things were getting better between us. I hope she's okay though. I stood up from the bed and strode to the bathroom to have my shower recalling back to how I had the panic attack at the garden. The last time I had a panic attack was when I was 12.*Flashback, 11 years ago*The house was too quiet that afternoon. The kind of silence that made my skin crawl, heavy and thick, like the
