Cassidy's POV

By eleven, the building was humming with tension, even if no one could name it.

News traveled differently in places like this—not through facts, but through temperature changes. A canceled meeting here. Extra security at the elevators there. Dante leaving his office door open but his expression closed. Me bypassing pleasantries and moving like I was racing a fire.

People noticed.

Of course they did.

Mia appeared at my desk with two folders and a look that was trying very hard to

  • 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    I’m not calling the company.

    Cassidy's POV Dante didn’t speak right away.He moved instead.Deliberate. Controlled. Dangerous in the quietest way.He crossed the office in three long strides, grabbed a glass from the sideboard, and poured water with steady hands that didn’t quite match the storm gathering behind his eyes. The soft clink of glass against the marble counter sounded unnaturally loud in the silence.Then he turned back to me.Pressed the glass into my hand.Not asking.Not explaining.Just knowing.“Drink,” he said quietly.It wasn’t a command.It wasn’t soft either.It was… grounding.Anchoring.Like he could see the exact second my mind was about to spiral and decided to catch it before it did.I took a sip.Cool.Real.Something to hold onto.Because my thoughts were already racing—fast, sharp, connecting dots I didn’t even want to see.Dante watched me the entire time.Not my face.My eyes.Measuring.Waiting.Making sure I stayed here—with him—and not lost somewhere in fear.I swallowed slowly,

  • His Dirty Little Secret    Tell me exactly what happened.

    Cassidy's POV His office door shut behind us with a soft, final click. For a second neither of us spoke. The city stretched beyond the windows, gray and immense and uncaring. Rain tracked down the glass in long diagonal lines, distorting the skyline into something blurred and unreal. Dante loosened his tie just once, then turned to face me fully. “Tell me exactly what happened.” “I came in, checked the desk, saw the box, didn’t touch it. Mia saw me react. That’s it.” “You’re sure it wasn’t here last night?” “Yes.” “Any unknown calls? Messages? Deliveries yesterday?” I thought back fast. “No calls. One vendor confirmation, one gallery email, one no-caller voicemail that hung up without speaking. I flagged it but didn’t prioritize it because of the access report.” Dante’s jaw flexed. “Forward me everything.” “Already did.” That got the faintest flicker of grim approval from him. I crossed my arms, less for defense than to hold myself steady. “How does he know ab

  • His Dirty Little Secret    What's the protocol?

    Cassidy’s POV By the time we left the studio, rain had settled over the city in a fine, steady sheet—soft enough to look harmless, heavy enough to soak through if you stood in it too long.It matched my mood perfectly.Quiet on the surface.Danger underneath.The drive back was tense in that intimate, familiar way Dante and I had perfected over the years—no wasted words, just the hum of the engine, the rhythm of windshield wipers, and the weight of everything unsaid pressing against the glass. He’d told me the outline of his plan halfway home: bait Lucas. Feed him a controlled vulnerability. Leak the appearance of a weak point and wait to see where he struck.It was smart.Cold.Exactly the kind of move that had built Dante’s empire in the first place.And exactly the kind of move that made me understand, all over again, why men like Lucas Voss and Dante Damiani recognized each other as natural enemies.I was still turning it over in my head the next morning when I stepped out of the

    Cassidy's POV By eleven, the building was humming with tension, even if no one could name it.News traveled differently in places like this—not through facts, but through temperature changes. A canceled meeting here. Extra security at the elevators there. Dante leaving his office door open but his expression closed. Me bypassing pleasantries and moving like I was racing a fire.People noticed.Of course they did.Mia appeared at my desk with two folders and a look that was trying very hard to be casual. “Everything okay?”“No.”She blinked. “Oh.”I softened by a fraction. “Sorry. That came out harsher than I meant.”Her mouth tightened. “No, it didn’t. What do you need?”I glanced at her, reassessing. Mia had been with the company long enough to know when not to ask questions.“Pull me the temporary access logs for the last two months,” I said. “And don’t mention it to anyone.”She nodded once. “Done.”Thirty minutes later, I had three names circled.One cleaning contractor who’d bee

  • His Dirty Little Secret    Beautiful things break easiest.

    Cassidy’s POV Next day the city felt different after the lake.Sharper.Less forgiving.By the time Dante’s car pulled into the underground garage beneath Voss-Damiani Holdings, the sky was a hard sheet of gray, and the knot in my stomach had only tightened. Lake air and children’s laughter had been replaced by concrete, steel, and the cold efficiency of a building that ran on money, secrets, and whoever could keep their nerve longest.Usually, stepping into the office clicked something into place for me.It was muscle memory now—my heels against polished stone, my coffee balanced in one hand, tablet in the other, Dante at my side radiating command before we even reached the private elevator. Usually, this building made sense to me. I knew its rhythms. Its politics. Its whispers.Today, it felt like enemy territory.Not because it had changed.Because now I knew Lucas had surfaced.And men like Lucas Voss never stayed at the edge of the water for long.Dante came around the car and o

    Cassidy's POV The drive to the club was tense, crammed in the back of Victor's luxury SUV, Mom prattling about society gossip while Dante's pinky brushed mine on the seat between us, a secret link that kept the fire simmering. At the club, brunch unfolded on the sun-drenched terrace, overlooking m

    Cassidy's POV My heart raced with a mix of nerves and excitement as I obeyed, stretching my arms toward the headboard. He looped the silk around my wrists, tying them securely but not too tight—enough to restrain, but with room to tug if needed. The fabric was cool and smooth against my skin, the
