The entire ride back home was confusing.

The accident, the revelation and the pressure that came with it, it was all too much to handle at once. When I told Enzo about the same, he told me that I should not worry myself too much.

“That’s easy for you to say.” I mumbled. “You’re not in my shoes.”

“I get it.” He said, clasping my hand on my thigh. “Why don’t you come home, Cassie? Just for a few days. I want to be with you for a while. It will help you keep your mind off things.”

“But Enzo…”

“What, come on? Am I not allowed to take care of you when you need me?” He said, “Don’t be difficult, Cassie. Please.”

“What about my clothes? And my laptop? I need it for work.”

“I’ll send someone to your house to bring all of that.” He said, “And you can talk to Melissa about your situation. I’m sure she’ll grant you leave for a few days. You can’t work with a broken arm.”

He was right. I needed rest for at least a week. “Okay.” I said, “Help me write an email once we get home.”

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   279. His ray of hope

    Enzo’s POV Present time“Hey, baby.” Cassie’s sweet voice reached me as she walked toward me in her heels. She must be going to her office after this. “How are you doing today?” Quite the same, really.Her questions were getting annoying now. In the last one year, I never felt any different. I was awake, but not conscious enough. I could hear her but I couldn’t respond. How would I describe such a feeling? I felt her touch on my face then, softly grazing against my skin. “You know, I had such a hectic time this week. With the new promotion, things have gotten crazy at the office. And Emmy? Oh, god. Ever since she started walking, she’s been driving me nuts. Sometimes, I'm afraid to go home. And that’s why, visiting you, it's my safe escape. It's the best part of my day, Enzo.” Only Cassie was capable of saying something like that. Visiting your almost dead husband can’t be that exciting either. And Emmy.God, I missed her. Cassie stopped bringing her ever since Emmy climbed o

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   278. What kept me alive

    Enzo’s POV 11 months ago - one month after the surgeryI couldn’t see the calendar yet, but I knew that a month had passed since my surgery. Every day in the morning, the doctors would come to my room, reading out my case sheet like I’m a boring medical case they couldn’t wait to discard. And their history always started with the duration. "A thirty year old male patient with a gunshot wound in the scalp, with significant damage to the brainstem area, currently in a comatose state with…” And they would trail off. The doctors had no idea that I could hear them all too well. I’m sure that if they knew about it, they wouldn’t be so open to describe what was wrong with my body. Because no patient would want to live after knowing how much their health was fucked up. I was sure that this was a punishment for all the sins I’d made in this life and the past. Because nobody deserved to live a life like this. I was conscious, but I couldn't do anything. I couldn’t open my eyes, I couldn’t

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   277. Unprofessional

    No matter how often I do this, it’s never easy to say goodbye to him. Untangling my fingers from his, I gave him a soft, delicate peck on his cheekbone. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said, “And I’ll bring Emmy with me. She misses you.” I gave him one last glance before grabbing my bag and walking out. Once I was out of the room, I was in a completely different world. This was the real world, the one where I needed to put on a facade and go about life as though I wasn’t terrified of the future. So that’s what I did. I drove myself to my office and hurried up the elevator. The stay at Enzo extended per usual, and the traffic on the way didn’t help my case. I was running late. As I finally got off the elevator and rushed to the conference room, I stopped abruptly. Frowning, I looked at Mel as she took over the presentation. “What?” I mumbled to myself. Why was she doing it? It was my client. She spotted me waiting in the corridor and gave me a look that said she got this. Sighing, I

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   276. Deep down

    It had been a year since that day. The day that altered our lives forever. The day that took everything from me. Everytime I walk through the corridors of the hospital, the memories from that day haunt me. They haunt me at my place of work and they haunt me in my sleep. And yet, I find myself in front of the very hospital everyday at nine am. My eyes only look for that room on the sixth floor, the only room that has the bed against the window.I pulled my bag out of my car and locked it. And then, I made my way inside. The guard waved a hi toward me, and the reception muttered a quick hello as I passed her by. Over the course of one year, I had met some amazing people in this hospital, all of whom helped people like me. They keep our hope alive. They work every day and night just to ensure that when I come back again tomorrow, my husband is well and ready to see me. “Hello, Mary.” I said as I walked into the room, dropping my bag on the desk. “Hello, Mrs DeLuca,” Mark, the nurs

    I pulled away from her embrace, wiping away my tears. “I need to see him, Sara.” I said, “Please let me go.” And she did.As soon as her arms loosened from around me, I turned around and followed the doctor. She took me to the far end of the corridor where Enzo was resting. Each step I took toward that room felt progressively heavier. I could feel my heart thumping against my rib cage, preparing me to witness the inevitable. By the time we reached the door, I was not so sure if I wanted to step inside. All this time, I was eager to see him, but now? I wondered if I had the courage to see him like that. “Mrs DeLuca?” The doctor nudged me, “Are you going to come in?” “Y-yes.” I said, despite the uncertainty within my chest. The doctor opened the door for me and allowed me to walk in. Once inside, she closed the door behind, leaving me all alone with him.My breathing was getting shallow as I took slow steps towards his bed. Although it had been just eight hours since I last saw h

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   274. I know exactly what it feels like

    I stared at the woman in the white coat. She looked to be in her forties, or perhaps fifties, with immense experience in dealing with situations like this. As soon as we arrived at the hospital, I rushed toward the room Enzo was in, but she blocked my path. Instead, she redirected me to the room we were currently sitting in— the counselling room. “Doctor,” I mumbled, “How is my husband?”She gently placed her arms on the table in front of us, leaning closer so she could look into my eyes. “Mrs DeLuca.” She said, the name sounding way more sweeter in her voice than I would have liked. Every single time I heard that name, I felt a knot in my stomach. “When your husband came to the hospital, he did not have a pulse.” I reeled in a deep breath. I couldn’t picture what happened to him in the past eight hours. Ever since we arrived at the hospital to this moment, I did not catch as much as a glimpse of him. “We had to resuscitate him. Once we got a pulse, we had to immediately shift hi
