Dumped by the Heir, Claimed by his Brother CHAPTER SIXTY
CHAPTER SIXTY Cassie wanted to tell him he was being paranoid and that bad things just happened randomly and there was no pattern and no purpose. But there was a surety in his face that told her he wasn't going to back down on this, and honestly, the idea of someone deliberately hitting them was almost less frightening than the idea that the universe was just this randomly cruel."Okay," she said finally. "Look into it. But Leo, if you're right and someone actually did this on purpose, then we need to figure out who. And why… right?."" And we will.”He'd been checking his phone every few minutes, and Cassie could see the tension building in his shoulders. He was a good friend, but he was also a businessman with responsibilities, and the world didn't stop moving just because someone got hit by a car. "I have to head back to the office," he said around five, already standing and collecting his jacket. "The early investors are pushing for updates on the third location and I can't put

CHAPTER FIFTY NINEThey finally let her see him around four. A nurse named Patricia with kind eyes led her down a quiet corridor to the private ward they had moved him too. The room was too white and machines were beeping nonstop but and there, on a bed that was half the size of his real bed, Dom was propped slightly on the hospital bed. His left leg was elevated and wrapped in heavy white bandaging. A monitor was attached to his head, small wires disappearing into his dark hair and his face looked badly bruised, purple and yellow blooming across his skin. The gash on his forehead had been cleaned but it was stitched tightly and the sight of it made her skin crawl. He looked smaller than she remembered and she stood in the doorway for a moment, just looking at him. She tried to reconcile the man in the bed with the man she knew but they looked completely different and guilt tore I her chest again.Taking a deep breath, Cassie walked across the room to his bed side and sat down bes

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

"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.
