“Jake offered to handle everything, of course.” Cora’s voice is soft as she looks up at me. “He said he'd make all of it go away, and I’d be free to start over.”

“Why didn’t you take him up on that? He can more than afford to pay off the debt for you.”

She nods, biting her bottom lip. I put my thumb on her lip, pulling it out between her teeth. Cora looks out at the water as we head further from the marina.

“Jake is used to using money to solve his problems, but there’s always a price to pay when you never actually have to deal with anything. I decided that a couple of years of hard work would be better than taking the easy way out. It was my fault for trusting the man to begin with.”

It’s painful to watch her blame herself for a mess that wasn’t her fault.

I squeeze her hand. “It wouldn’t be taking the easy way out. You shouldn’t be the only one dealing with the bills.”

“Getting money from Victor is as hard as milking a rock. He isn’t going to give me any money to deal with any of it

  • Secret Marriage To My Brother's Best friend    Book 4: chapter 16

    Cassandra“You know, I’ve missed you.”Steven turned to her and said that it hadn’t been that long since they’d seen each other. He was preoccupied with making her coffee and Cassandra couldn’t see his face, though she was just amazed that he was making her coffee to begin with. Steven was so different than any man she had been with in a long time. Most men were so worried about showing off, that they didn’t do anything to take care of her, just to impress her. Cassandra wasn’t so young and naïve anymore; care and effort were what impressed her now. It wasn’t Steven’s millions and what it bought that made her look twice, it was the humble cup of coffee that he made her that really got to her. Cassandra didn’t want to think about Steven like that, but watching him, she felt something that she shouldn’t.“You said that you would be around if I needed you, but you don’t actually answer your phone. Maybe I should go see you in your ivory tower? It’s not far, right?”Steven’s ears turned r

    StevenLuke’s girlfriend took Steven’s date home, and the two guys were on the porch of Cassandra’s new place, and Luke wanted to thank him for helping his sister. He had already said something before, so it felt awkward to Steven, like there was more to what he was saying than what was initially said. He was trying to read through the lines, but he had no idea what his friend was getting at.“Like I said, don’t worry about it. She is my friend too.”Luke agreed, and then said something that had Steven wondering where it was going. The conversation felt like it was taking a turn, especially when he asked what it was all about. “You want her to be more than just your friend though, don’t you? The whole time I was worried about Nelson, it was you just as badly wanting my sister. I can see it now, and I don’t know what to say. Even when you brought a date, it was still my sister that got your attention. She is my sister, Steven!”Steven hadn’t seen it coming, and he tried to calm his fri

    CassandraShe was nervous to have the guys over again. It wasn’t her brother that she was worried about, but his friend, her old friend. Things had gotten strange between them, and Cassandra blamed herself. She knew that it had to do with how she felt about Steven. It also had to do with the fact that it had been so long since a man touched her. Cassandra hadn’t been with Nelson in years, and it was all starting to take a toll on her. Cassandra needed something and at the moment, it was Steven that was the one she wanted all of the attention from.Both her brother and his friend had brought someone with them. Cassandra hadn’t been expecting the two of them to bring a date, and she especially didn’t like that Steven had someone by his side. How could he say and promise the things that he did to her, only to have some other woman in the waiting a few weeks later? It hurt her feelings and Cassandra tried not to let it bother her. They weren’t together, couldn’t be together, then why was

    StevenSteven saw Aaliyah leaving as they got to her door. Aaliyah waved at Luke, but she winked when she saw Steven. He took that as a sign that they had been talking about him. What had they said? What was Cassandra thinking when it came to the two of them? He was sure that he was going to lose himself with her, but now he had Luke to keep him straight. Why couldn’t it have just been the two of them?His friend commented on the place, and he told him about the extra furniture that he had found ‘lying around’ and hooked his sister up with. Steven could see that Luke knew something was going on, but he didn’t want to get into it too much. He let it go and Steven was ever so grateful for that. There was nothing else that he could do.Cassandra was stunning, wearing a light summer dress that showed off her curves. She wasn’t dressed to impress though, more to be comfortable, and it had been a while since she’d had that look on her face. Steven felt like she was getting back to her old s

    Cassandra“I am telling you, Cassandra, there is something going on with Steven.”Cassandra shook her head. She had heard it more than once from Aaliyah, that Steven was doing it for one reason or another, but she couldn’t see it that way. He had gone out of his way to help her, true enough, but that was because the two of them had history, as he was her brother’s best friend. They’d known each other a while and Steven was helping her out, likely because her brother wanted him to do it. He was just helping out his friend’s sister. Cassandra was grateful for it, but it was hard not to see it for what it was. Aaliyah wanted to look at it another way, more sinister and sexier. It wasn’t that way. He was just a nice guy.She reiterated it for her friend, but Aaliyah pushed her long blond hair out of her face and ignored Cassandra’s reasoning. “Honey, I don’t know what marriage did to you, but you should know better than that. I mean, really. You are cute, he is trying to get into your pan

    Steven’s mind filled with scenes of need and desire, sounds of her moaning underneath him. His face turned red, and he had to look away, somehow convinced that his eyes would give away the scenes playing in his head that made his heart race.“Anything you want.”His eyes conveyed too much. Cassandra’s neck started to carry its own pink creep of flush. Did she know what he was thinking about?***Luke told Steven that Cassandra was ready for them to come over. Luke had been a bit put off finding out that he wasn’t allowed to come by when she first moved in. Steven tried to assure him that he wasn’t either, but that had just been met with more confusion. Why would it matter if he was allowed to be let in? Steven really needed to watch himself when it came to dealing with Cassandra and Luke. It was getting complicated, and it was just getting started. He hadn’t done anything subjective yet.“I have to ask, Steven. What is going on?”Steven panicked that his friend knew his intention towa
