I recoiled backwards, growing acutely aware of how hard my heart was thumping against my ribs. The look on his face devastated me. I suddenly worried, what if it was all a waste? What if he didn’t like it? Oh, my God. What would I do then?

The worst part was that I couldn’t read his expression well. Was he thinking I overspent? Was he regretting giving me the chance to redo his apartment? Shit! He gave me one job, one freaking job, and I ruined it! This was the least I could have done for him, and somehow I ruined that too.

“Do you not like it?” I asked in a low voice, embracing myself for his response.

“Like it?” He scoffed in astonishment, “Cassie! This is amazing! I love it!”

The biggest sigh of relief rushed out of my lungs, “Oh, my God. Really?”

“Yes!” He said, throwing his hands up in the air as he gestured around, “I can’t believe you did all of this by yourself, in under two days. Like, what are you made of? How did you pull this off?”

I shook my head, “You scared me ther

  • 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

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   273. Let's go, Cassie

    Cassie’s POV I was pacing around in my room, frantically dialling every number I knew. I wanted to do something, anything to help the situation, but I didn’t know how. Enzo had long stopped receiving my calls and now Grandpa and Franco were also not taking them. I had no idea what everybody was up to, and I hated being kept in the dark .The worst part was I couldn’t tell this to anybody. What would they do? For all I knew, I could be putting them under risk too.A heavy storm broke out outside, pouring down heavily and that could only mean bad news. “Bloody hell.” I muttered to myself, taking a seat on the edge of the bed. Right then, I heard a sound from outside. It was the sound of something breaking. I sat up straight on reflex. Who could it be? Was it Enzo? Hopeful, I got up from the bed and walked to the door. I was just about to open it when I heard footsteps approaching. Slow, soft steps. As though they didn’t want me to hear their sound. And that was when I found myse

  • Lost And Found By The Billionaire   272. Just the same way

    This time, Kent asked me to meet in an abandoned cafe in the peripheries of the city. That demand should have alerted me, but the nature of his business was such that he could not choose places that were easily accessible to the police. The next command was to come alone, unarmed. To obey his orders, I did drive there alone myself, but I wasn’t foolish enough to go there unarmed. I had my gun on me. And thirdly, I got those damn files he asked for. I watched as Kent scrutinized them closely, reading every damn word as though he didn’t trust me. Good. Because the feeling was mutual. “That’s good work, DeLuca.” He said, surprising me. Smirking, he closed the files, “I knew I could trust you to save my ass.” I swirled the whiskey in my glass as I gazed up at him, “Wish I could say the same about you.”His brows cocked up, “That’s not very nice of you to say, Enzo.” He said, “You know I’m helping you.” “Are you?” I asked, “Because so far, you haven’t gotten me a single lead to dest

    Just like that, I let him go.Nothing about his association with Kent seemed right to me. When I sold the studio to him, I was glad that I was losing an enemy. It was supposed to be a one-time deal and he would be out of our lives forever. But meeting him in Switzerland was unexpected. Him approaching us didn’t seem altruistic, and he had a hidden motive, but I was glad that Enzo steered me away from him.But now, it was surprising that Enzo was working with him himself. It was the last thing I wanted in the world, and if what Grandpa said was right, then I would be much more comfortable trusting his men than Kent Rover. After all, we knew nothing about him.Enzo left an hour ago. He hasn’t answered my texts or called me back since then. I knew that he was going on some sort of operation that was too dangerous for me to know. He had a gun, for God’s sake, and I didn’t know what he would use it for. I hated to be in a position where I would need a gun to defend myself if things got out
