Chapter 5

Cassandra:

THREE MONTHS LATER

It's been three months since I left home. I cut all contact with Vincent and even deleted his number, of course my mum promised he would never tell him about my whereabouts and besides their marriage ended a few weeks ago so now I'm sure he'll never find me again.

It wasn't easy moving on and trying to forget someone you have a crazy attraction for but I did, he's not worth it not when he gambled with my life that's exactly where I drew the line.

The last time I spoke with my mother before she left the house she mentioned that Vincent has changed, he barely visit the gym, eats or even go to the office, she said he now does most of his work from home or else it's urgent. My mother was starting to get the delusion that maybe he liked me but of course I was fast to remind her that he's probably missing his ex wife.

His moods and whatever that is happening to him lately has nothing to do with me. He almost killed me because of her, of course I don't hate her, I would never hate a fellow woman over a man, never. 

Today is one of the days I just want to stay home all day, the weather is cozy and it's been raining non-stop these days, and since I hate cooking I've been surviving on takeout and ordering food but since this persistent rain started few days ago delivery have been so hard so I'm now surviving on noodles and scrambled egg for the time being, I cannot wait for all these to be over so I can get a proper food.

I was still in thought when I heard the sound of my doorbell which is weird cause I cannot remember ordering any food and I'm not expecting any package either.

I stood up from where I was cuddled up on the couch in a blanket and made my way through the door but as soon as I opened the door, my body stilled, eyes widened on the person standing right in front of me, 

“What are you doing here?” The words rolled out of my mouth even before I could stop myself. Instead of talking he was standing, drenched in rain and was staring at me like it's his first time seeing me. 

“Mr Vincent, why are you here? If you're here because of my mum I'm sorry to break it to you but she's..”

“Can I hug you?” He caught me off, shocking the hell out of my system. Taking a step backwards I shook my head. “I'm sorry but I don't hug people I'm not close to”

“Baby I”

“Mr Vincent if you don't have anything else to say then I'll take that as your time here is over and if you don't mind please excuse….” The words hung in my mouth when he lowered to his knees right in front of me.

“I've only kneeled to one woman in my life and that's you, not even my late wife” He slowly raised his head, his gaze meeting mine. “That day I lost myself for a moment and almost harmed you”

“Killed me” I corrected. “I know, and nothing can excuse my actions. I'm sorry I know that word is not enough so please allow me to spend the rest of my life proving that to you baby.”

“Hmph..” I scoffed, blinking back my tears as that day incident forced its way to resurface in my memory. “So you think you can just waltz your way back into my life say a few words to me and I'm supposed to jump right back into your arms?”

“Of course not.” He gulped, signing heavily. “After what happened at my office I never remained the same, I regretted my actions deeply, cause even though I try to lie to myself many times and keep my distance, I cannot deny the fact that I'm insanely attracted towards you, I fell first princess, the moment you walked into my mansion on that day with your mother I knew so damn well I was doomed and could not be saved”

“It's too late” I sniffed back my tears.

“But I haven't been doing nothing these past three months, I've been begging your mother but she refused to let me access to your location, I've been searching for you princess, I didn't just stay back and wait for three months before I could come to you”

“Let me guess, the sex was too good that you couldn't forget about it and now you're back for more”

“It's not ab…out the sex” He gritted out 

“Then what is it about, Mr Vincent Marcelo?”

“I….I….”

“Come back when you have an answer I slammed the door on his face and went upstairs to my room, but I could barely fall asleep, I hate to admit this I fucking hate to not I wouldn't say I didn't almost melt into his arms back there. Fuck this heart of mine I almost thought I've gotten over him turns out I was wrong, but still I cannot forget the ick feeling of what he did to me back then, no matter how I think about it I can't go back to Vincent.

Do I like him? Fuck yeah

Do I still fantasize about him? Hell yeah

But do I love myself more? Fuck Yes.

……….I ended up sleeping off and by the time I opened my eyes, the sun from the window was piercing my eyes, the rain had already stopped and finally I could step out of the house and go eat in my favorite restaurant which was a few blocks away. I rubbed my belly and damn I can't believe I literally survived on noodles and junks.

I climbed down from the bed, made my way into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I washed my face and did my morning routine after which I settled for a casual outfit and left my room, I made it downstairs. On opening my door I flinched backwards when I saw him sitting outside.

He was looking so tired and pale. 

I suck in a sharp breath, closing my eyes tightly and slowly opening them. He stood on his feet, closed the distance between us, I didn't move I was rooted to the spot, watching him

“What are you….”

I didn't finish my words when he fell right into my arms, “Vincent?” 

“Vincent?” I called shaking him, afraid he passed out on me

“Please, please just let me love you again” He slurred and whimpered

I sighed, dragged him inside and laid him on the couch, I covered him with a thick blanket and turned on the heater. After which I went to the kitchen and made him a cup of herbal tea to warm him up.

I sat down on the couch watching him and slowly I drifted to sleep. The fresh aroma of beef stew simmered through my nose and woke me up, I opened my eyes and saw I was not lying on the couch, covered with a blanket. I searched around for him but he was nowhere inside, but then the aroma of food from the kitchen, I looked at the table and saw half of my living room was covered in flowers, 

What's going on?

I stood up made my way to the kitchen and halted on the door, swallowing so hard when I saw a shirtless Vincent cooking in my kitchen, looking so irresistible and fucking sexy. 

I unintentionally licked my lips, and grabbed onto the door so I won't wobble,I clasped my mouth shut to avoid saliva dripping down, 

Shit! Did I just say I'm over him? 

Ain't no way, 

“Are you here to seduce me?”

He turned, and I swear his messy hair was supposed to make him look less attractive but why is this old man taking my damn breath away, 

“Did I succeed?”

“In what?” I asked

“Seducing you” He folded his hands

“It almost worked” I shrugged

“That means I have a chance then”

“A chance of what?” 

“Baby” He called, stepping forward a little and stopped.

“I'm not fucking good with words so allow me to prove myself worthy of you again, even the worse sinner deserves a second chance”

Fuck it I can't hold it anymore

“Why are you standing there?” 

“Standing?” He repeated in confusion 

“Shut up and come kiss me already”

Epilogue 

Cassandra

I yawned, opening my eyes “Shit!” I held my chest flinching back in fear. 

“You fucking scared me” I said to Vincent who has been staring at me, “Sorry baby” He chuckled. “How long have you been awake and staring at me?

“Since midnight”

“Midnight?” My eyes widened, “Hmm” He gently held my hand and kissed the back of my palm. “I still cannot believe you're here with me, it still feel like a dream so I had to make sure I don't sleep so I don't wake up and release it's all a dream”

Fuck! I've always craved being loved in the best way but now that I'm finally getting it, I don't know how to react especially when it's someone you've wanted for the longest time. If only he knows how much of a simp I am for him, I fucking love and dream about this man all day and night and he thinks he likes me more?

“Fuck me” I don't know why that damn world was the only thing that could come out of my mouth. His eyes glinted with excitement , corners of his lips lifting in a grin, “Seriously baby? You're such a slut” 

“It's not my fault” I shrugged, “Blame it on your dick for fucking me so well now I can't stop thinking about it” 

“Come here” He forcefully pulled me as I hopped on him

“Now fucking rock your hips like my own fucking whore, I want to fuck you fully clothed” 

Shit? Why am I suddenly excited 

“Now!” He ordered and just like an obedient little dog I began rocking him. Fuck…this is all I want, fucking all I want and I don't mind waking up like this all day all night 

I'll never get tired of it

Throwing my head backwards while I bounce up and down on him.

“I love your dick baby”

“I love your pussy too, my slutty little whore, bounce for Daddy, harder and faster”
