Later that evening, after Enzo was done with work, he walked in on me laying in the bathtub.

His shoulder slumped, an exhausted sigh leaping out of him. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think you were here.”

“You want to join?” I proposed, knowing very well that he was dying for a bath. “I don’t mind.”

Although he was still giving me attitude, he could not refuse the tempting offer I gave him. Without a word, he stripped naked in front of me and descended into the tub across from me.

I couldn’t help but give him a disappointed smirk, “How long are you going to continue this?”

“Continue what?”

“This.” I said, motioning toward the distance between us. “Giving me the cold shoulder. Ignoring my calls. Throwing me unnecessary shade.”

A hint of a smile touched his lips. “I like the peace it's bringing to my life. I might continue with this for a bit.”

My mouth fell open. The bastard.

Right then, Enzo grabbed my right foot from the edge of the tub and pulled it toward him, lathering it with som

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   283. I hope they do

    Cassie’s POV “Your husband is doing well, Mrs. DeLuca. At this rate, we could discharge him in a couple of days.” I glanced at Sara, who wore a similar ear splitting sign as me. Ever since Enzo woke up, everyone was eager to get him back home. Visiting him in the hospital for the past one year had traumatized everyone enough, and now we could no longer bear coming back here. Enzo also wanted to be out of this place too. “Can I tell Enzo?” I asked, hopefully. “I don’t want to bring up his hopes unnecessarily.” “Oh, no. Please tell me. Anything to improve his spirits.” the doctor said, closing the file. I gave her a knowing nod, letting out a sigh. While Enzo’s physical health improved drastically over the last one week, the same couldn’t be said about his mental health. As was normal for any patient, Enzo was requiring time to adapt to his new life. All the constant chatter of visitors had made him quiet and reserved. These days, he preferred to spend time by himself. “I’ll te

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   282. You heard me?

    I ceased to breathe at that moment. I could not believe him. All these days, he heard me? The doctors told me there was very little chance he had any auditory function. But I didn’t want to give up. I spoke to him everyday so he knew that we were waiting for him. So he knew that he had to come back. And he did. “You heard me?” I croaked out, my lips trembling“Yes.” he said, “Your voice… it went and came like a dream. I think I remember parts of it. I know you used to come every morning to talk to me. Tell me about your day, what was happening in your life.” I scoffed in surprise, “I thought you couldn’t…” Tears flowed past my cheek, “I thought I’d never see you again like this.” “Trust me, I didn’t want to wake up, Cassie.” he said, “For the longest time… I hated that someone was pulling me back. They weren’t letting me go. And then I realized that it was you. Your voice… it was like tethering me.” Letting out a sob, I gave him a painful look. My tears just wouldn’t stop. “A

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   281. I made it in time

    Cassie’s POV Everything that was running through my mind in the past one hour vanished from my head. Every qualm. Every doubt. Every fear. They were all put to rest. For I was hearing what I almost deemed impossible. “Enzo woke up.” Raymond said as he stepped toward me, his arms shaking me alive. His face revealed nothing. No happiness. No sadness. Perhaps some shock, or even concern. It made me wonder if I heard him right at all. “What?” I said. “Enzo is awake, Cassie.” He said, “Or that’s what the doctors are telling me.” “He… he woke up?” I said, “As in… he opened his eyes? He can talk? He can-” “I don’t know.” he said, impatient. “They just asked us to come to the hospital at the earliest. I think we-” That was it. That was all I needed to hear. Leaving Raymond in my office, I walked out. No, I ran. I ran down the steps, and outside the office. In the hurry, I realized that I forgot my car keys upstairs. But I didn't have time to go for them. I had to get to the hosp

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   280. Nothing more, nothing less

    Cassie’s POV I froze in my place, utterly paralyzed. I did not see that one coming. I did not anticipate that he would do something like that. And I felt disgusted. Without any further adieu, I jumped away from him while simultaneously pushing him away. Before Raymond could go from confused to shocked, my palm slapped across his cheek. He lost balance due to the impact and almost stumbled to the ground. “How dare you?” I cried, getting up from my seat. I could not believe him. The fucking nerve he had to think he could kiss me like that, out of the blue. What even gave him the idea that I would be okay with it?He looked up at me then, stunned. The astonishment in her face irked me further. What else did he expect? He was rubbing his cheek as he got up to meet my eyes, “Cassie…” “What the hell were you thinking, Raymond?” I demanded, “I am your best friend's wife! Are you fucking high or something?” “Cassie, keep it low,” he said, eyeing the door as he approached me. He was r

  • 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
