Dumped by the Heir, Claimed by his Brother CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT
FIFTY EIGHT Gregory was still there.She knew he would be but still, she had had a faint and naive hope that by the time they got back he would have left. But no….He was standing at the far end of the waiting room near the windows, he and Dr Osei. And whatever they were discussing, Gregory was asking the questions and Dr. Osei was answering them with the patience of someone who had to deal with men like Gregory every other day. Elena stood a few feet away from them, not quite part of the conversation but not separate from it either. Cassie took one look at her face and thought, without being entirely sure, that what she was looking at was someone who was frightened and had run out of the energy it took to hide it completely.The room had fewer people now. Nobody looked up as they came in, and Cassie had just enough time to catch a breath before grasping everything he was saying. "What's the long-term implications of this kind of injury," Gregory was saying. "I want to understand t

FIFTY-SEVEN Leo let a few minutes pass, which she appreciated more than she could have said, before he spoke."Have you actually had yourself checked?" He finally said. He said it casually as if nothing major had just happened here minutes ago. "The paramedics cleared me at the scene.""That's not what I asked."She turned her head to look at him and he was looking back at her with the same steadiness he seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of."Leo…""The impact was hard and we can't be too sure," he said. "Internal bleeding doesn't announce itself and injuries don't always hurt right away, sometimes they don't hurt at all until you've totally forgotten and by then you've lost a window. I'm not trying to make you panic or anything but I am just trying to be practical and I know you're someone who responds well to logic.""What I respond well to," Cassie said, "is people listening when I tell them I'm fine.""And what I respond well to," Leo said, "is verification. I'm a facts pe

FIFTY-SIXGregory's eyes found Cassie in under three seconds and the hardness in it made her want to crawl away. She got up on her feet unsure why exactly. Maybe it was the instinct about not being caught sitting down in front of this man or the awareness that whatever was about to happen she needed to be upright for it. The hospital blanket slid from her shoulders and she let it fall on the chair because there wasn't time to think about the blanket. Gregory Hale was crossing the room toward her and whatever was to come was the only thing that mattered.He stopped at her front, close enough that she had to make a conscious effort not to take a step back."Why," he said, "didn't you call us?"Cassie opened her mouth. She had a reasonable answer ready, several of them actually. She'd been assembling them in the back of her mind since the paramedics had first loaded Dom into the ambulance and she'd stood on the shoulder of that highway knowing at some point she was going to have to ma

FIFTY FIVELeo walked in through the hospital doors at a near run.Cassie saw him before he saw her, and she crossed the waiting room without thinking. One moment she was standing by a wall and the next she had walked straight into his chest, and his arms wrapping around her automatically. Once again, she broke down.She barely had any tears left. All along she had cried for Dom and cried for her lonely self but now, with Leo's arms around her and the antiseptic smell of the hospital and the unbearable silence in the waiting room, the tears somehow found a way. "Hey," Leo said quietly, holding her tighter. "I've got you… I've got you."She couldn't speak. She just stood there and cried against his shoulder until the worst of it passed and the sobs slowed down into more exhausted gasps and eventually, her breathing came back to her in jagged pieces.Finally, she pulled back. She wiped her face with the back of her hand and looked up at him.“I am so sorry.” She managed to say. "Thank

FIFTY FOURFinally, the cars appeared. The police arrived first, then a fire truck and an ambulance right behind. Dom's door was stuck and the firefighters had to cut the door open. They moved carefully around Dom, cutting off the metal they could off his leg and assessing the damage even as Cassie screamed at them to hurry."We need to move him," one of the paramedics said, and suddenly there were more hands, more equipments… more urgency.They got him onto a stretcher and cut away his pants to reveal the damage. Everything looked like something from a horror movie. His calf was nearly laid open and that was when she noticed that his thigh had a gash so deep she could even see into it."How long has he been unconscious?" someone asked her."I don't know, five minutes? Ten?" Cassie followed them to the ambulance, a police officer holding her arm like she might run into traffic. "Is he going to be okay? He's going to be okay, right?"Nobody answered her. They loaded him into the ambul

FIFTY THREECassie groaned as she stirred in bed. It felt like she had just closed her eyes for a minute and it was day break. Dom was already doing some push ups on the yoga mat at the extreme end of the room. She couldn't take her eyes off his beautifully sculptured body. Even his scars looked beautiful under the morning light. But the sight of the scars reminded her of what was waiting ahead of them and once again, she was consumed with nothing but sheer hatred for Marcus. Dom turned around and caught her staring. She tried to close her eyes swiftly, pressing too much but it was too late he had seen her. “Had enough time drooling?” She didn't respond, willing for him to just go ahead and ignore her. “I know you're awake. Maybe if you reduce the pressure in your eyes and slow your breathing pace a little more, your story will be more believeable.”Cassie still didn't bulge and she wasn't prepared for what Dom did next. One minute, she was trying so hard to slow her breathing a

"Didn't you hear me, I said I need everything taken down in the next one hour," Dom yelled. "Every post on every blog. I don't care what it costs. Buy the ads if you have to, threaten legal action, call in every favor I'm owed. I want this story dead by noon."He paused for a moment and Cassie ass

Cassie turned slowly and walked back to the table. She sat down stiffly, arms crossed, glaring at him. Dom set the roses down carefully and took the seat across from her. For a moment, he just looked at her, his expression open and vulnerable in a way she'd never seen before."What Marcus said is tr
Dumped by the Heir, Claimed by his Brother CHAPTER NINETEEN
Cassie lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling of her childhood bedroom. The events of the past week playing on repeat in her mind like a movie she couldn't turn off when her phone lit up on the nightstand. Dom's name flashed across the screen and Cassie turned away, pulling a pillow over her head.
