His Dirty Little Secret The Hour Before Eight
Cassidy’s POVThe rest of the afternoon fractured into strategy.Not panic.Not chaos.Something sharper.Controlled violence wearing expensive clothes and speaking in measured tones.Adrian Kessler was taken downstairs to a secure holding room two floors beneath legal, where Reynolds’ people could keep him contained until Dante decided whether he was more useful breathing comfortably or sweating. Lucas’s note was photographed, bagged, analyzed, and then returned to Dante’s inside pocket like it belonged there—like the threat itself had become part of the architecture of his body.The studio sat between us all now.A location.A trap.A wound.A promise.By five o’clock, the executive floor had emptied enough to feel haunted. The storm outside had deepened into something darker, rain striking the windows with a steady, punishing rhythm that blurred the city into ghost-light and steel. The building no longer felt like a headquarters.It felt like a command center.Mia had relocated to
His Dirty Little Secret You’d be exposed.
Cassidy’s POV I looked up at him over my shoulder, his hand still curled around the back of my chair, his body a solid wall of heat and control behind me.“No.”The word came out sharper than I intended, but not sharp enough to be regret.Dante’s brows lowered slightly. “No?”“If we change everything now, whoever’s feeding him notices immediately.” I turned in the chair so I could face him fully, one hand still resting on the tablet balanced across my lap. “He’s studying patterns, yes—but that means he’s also watching for disruption. If my routine changes too fast, too cleanly, too obviously, then the person giving him access knows we’ve seen the line he’s drawing.”His jaw flexed once.I could see him following it already. The logic. The danger. The necessity.I pushed on before he could answer.“We don’t slam every door at once,” I said. “We let one stay open long enough to see who’s standing behind it.”Across the desk, Mia looked up from her laptop, eyes flicking between us. Reyn
His Dirty Little Secret The First Countermove
Cassidy's POV An hour later, the office no longer felt frozen. It felt armed. Quietly. Systematically. Security presence increased, but subtly. New faces appeared near the elevator banks in tailored civilian clothes instead of obvious uniforms. Temporary access was paused under the pretense of a routine systems recalibration. Vendor appointments were “rescheduled.” The service corridor Lucas had used was suddenly inaccessible due to a fabricated plumbing issue. No alarms. No spectacle. Just pressure applied inward. From my desk, I built patterns. Mia fed me visitor records. Reynolds’ team sent corridor access logs. IT sent metadata from delivery notifications and internal routing permissions. I lined it all up, stripping away noise until shapes began to emerge. Every move Lucas had made touched one common thread. Not Dante’s calendar. Mine. Flower delivery window aligned with my morning coffee run. The black box appeared in the six-minute interval betwee
His Dirty Little Secret What did he say?
Cassidy's POV Dante reached for my hand then, pulling me closer—not possessive, not controlling. Anchoring. “Then we handle it,” he said. “How?” I asked. His expression shifted. Sharp. Predatory. Certain. “The way we handle everything.” A pause. Then— “Together. And smarter than him.” I let out a slow breath. “Okay.” That single word carried more than agreement. It was consent to the next phase of this. To the fact that peace, at least the easy kind, was over. Outside the windows, the rain hadn’t stopped. It streaked down the glass in relentless silver lines, blurring the city beyond into something distant and unreachable. But now it didn’t feel distant anymore. It felt like a barrier. Like something watching from the other side. Waiting. Planning. Smiling. I glanced once more at the lilies, still visible through the glass wall of his office where they’d been left sitting on my desk like a grave marker. At the card. At the message hid
His Dirty Little Secret He’s trying to break you.
Cassidy's POV I picked the card up again, studying the handwriting more closely. Precise. Elegant. Controlled. No jagged pressure marks. No hesitation in the strokes. No rushed endings. Whoever had written this—Lucas himself or someone working under him—hadn’t been angry. Hadn’t been shaking. Hadn’t been improvising. This was deliberate from the first pen stroke. And that told me more than any threat could. “He’s not emotional,” I said slowly, tracing the air just above the ink without touching it. “This isn’t reactive. It’s staged.” Dante moved to lean against the edge of his desk, arms crossed, watching me instead of the card. He always did that when he wanted the full shape of my thinking. “Walk me through it.” I nodded, grounding myself in the thing I knew best outside of him: order. Logic. Sequence. Control. “The key yesterday,” I started. “The lilies today. He’s building a pattern.” “Escalation,” Dante said. “Yes. But measured escalation.” I tapped the card
His Dirty Little Secret It was to close the gap.
Cassidy’s POV No one moved.Not at first.The entire executive floor—usually a symphony of quiet efficiency, clipped voices, hushed phone calls, the faint clatter of keyboards, and the expensive, carefully orchestrated hum of power—had fallen into something unnatural.Stillness.Not silence exactly. Silence can feel clean. This didn’t.This felt held.Suspended.Like the building itself was drawing in a breath and refusing to let it go.I could feel their eyes on me.On the card.On the lilies.Waiting.That was the part no one ever said out loud in places like this: people always waited for the moment the woman would break.Especially when she had survived too much already.Especially when the threat was this deliberate.This elegant.This personal.They wanted the crack in the glass. The trembling hand. The swallowed panic. The loss of composure that would let them recategorize everything they thought they knew about me.Not because they were cruel—though some of them were—but beca
His Dirty Little Secret Trying to distract me already?
Dante’s POV The machine hummed to life with a familiar whir, the rich aroma of freshly ground beans filling the air, chasing away the last cobwebs of sleep. Sunlight streamed through the kitchen windows in golden beams, casting a warm glow over the marble counters and the scattered remnants of las

Dante’s POV Heat built slowly at first, her lips yielding under mine, the kiss a spark that ignited the embers we'd kept banked all day. Cassidy's hands fisted in my shirt, pulling me closer as if to fuse us together, her body arching into me on the couch, soft curves pressing against the hard lin

Dante’s POV Pasta. Normalcy. Home. The words echoed in my mind like a lifeline, pulling me back from the precipice the day had dragged me to. I pocketed the phone with a faint smile, the glow of Cassidy's message cutting through the lingering haze of tension that clung to the boardroom air. The c

Cassidy’s POV "Feeling better?" he murmured, lips brushing my ear, voice husky, sending a thrill straight to my core. "Much," I whispered, my voice breathy as I turned fully toward him, our faces inches apart, the heat from his body seeping through the blanket like an invitation. The rom-com's d
