Taken by the Heartless {Book One} DRUNK
It was getting darker, but Eros was not bothered about going home. He sat in the lounge of one of his hostels drinking glass upon glass of alcohol, hoping no one finds him. Javier had called him severally, but he had refused to answer, all he wanted was to be alone. He didn't know why he felt this way and tried to convince himself that it was because of the memory that the therapy session he had earlier sprouted, but deep down in his most secret heart, he knew it was something that Cassandra said to him.Why was he letting it get to him? Why was he letting her mess around with his head? Was he angry? Was he sad? He couldn't differentiate what he was feeling right there. It was a feeling of frustration, a feeling of helplessness. What was he going to do to make her stop talking to him that way? Violence never solved the problem. His phone vibrated again, he stared at it, Javier flashed on the screen, and he ignored it. He planned to drink until he stopped thinking of the differen
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} BREAKFAST
Cassandra must have slept off sometime in the night because when she woke up, she was on the bed and the side which Eros slept on was empty. They had slept side by side with Eros clinging onto her like he was clinging to life. When she was done cleaning his wounds and got him to wear his pajamas the previous night, they had gone to the room and Eros had pleaded that she stay with him for a little while.She had never seen that part of him before and he looked like a scared child. She decided to stay by him and let him hold her until he was asleep, but she didn't know when she slept off herself and now it was morning. She sat up in bed, stretched herself, and yawned. "Where has he gone to?" she asked herself as she got out of bed and picked up a note on the nightstand. Come down for breakfast when you are awake. Eros.She looked around in surprise, her face crumpling in a scowl. Why was Eros being so gentlemanly? Honestly, she hadn't expected the task to be this simple, but
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} BETRAYAL
Going for two days without speaking with Apollo was getting heart-wrenching for Cassandra. The worst part was that she had no one to speak to about what she was passing through and how she felt. Her heart was heavy, and Apollo was the only person that could relate to her. Lucia has not even spoken to her after Carlos' incident, and she didn't know why. She has not even seen her friend since that day, so while Eros was at work the next day, she decided to go over to Lucia's room and talk vaguely about her predicament.The boy's quarters were quiet when she got there as everyone had left for their different duty posts. Some even went out with Eros and Cassandra was happy about that. It was almost evening and Lucia must have finished whatever chores she was doing, so it wasn't a bad time to catch up with her. Once she was at Lucia's door, she knocked once and went in but stopped abruptly at what she saw.They didn't even notice her come in or were simply ignoring her. Her feet were
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} FORGIVENESS
When Cassandra opened her eyes again, it was morning. The room was still dark, but the sun rays streamed in from the dark curtains, she turned to the other part of the bed and found it empty. The memory of last night replayed in her head again. She hadn't meant to burst out like that in front of Eros last night, but the whole feeling had overwhelmed her, and she couldn't control herself. Eros had surprised her when he had wrapped his arm securely around her and held her tightly, rocking her to sleep.She was half asleep when she heard him on the phone telling someone he won't be able to go to the dinner party and she felt really bad about that. She felt when he slowly laid her on the bed and when he drew the blanket up to her chin, she had surprised both of them by grabbing his wrist and pleading with him to stay with her. He had looked uncertain for a moment, but he had climbed in behind her. Having Eros lie behind her with his arm wrapped securely around her was a slight relie
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} GOING FOR A SURPRISE
Cassandra watched Eros as he controlled the steering, his eyes focused on the road. She has not been in a car with Eros before and had never seen him drive. She never knew that the sight would dazzle her so much. She could tell he was still furious from the information he received about Marco selling them out to the police, but he was just calm because of her and now, he was taking her somewhere, to show her something, he had tagged as a surprise. She didn’t want to get ahead of herself thinking Eros was changing because of her, but she was excited that he at least listens to her.She watched Eros’ sturdy arms as he maneuvered the steering, and she felt her heart manoeuvring toward him. He was an embodiment of sexiness, and sexual sin and she has never failed to notice it, just that she wasn’t a fan of his temper. Eros was temptation in every way, in the way he carried himself when he walked, not like he owned the world, but like he didn’t care who owns the world. His smirk that
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} COULD BE LOVE
“Dad?” Cassandra called. Her father was seated at a table with Javier. Orion stood up from the seat, looking at his daughter with surprise and a bittersweet smile. “Dad,” Cassandra called again with tears in her eyes and flew into his arms. Her father held her tightly.“Oh, my precious, you are alive,” her father whispered against her ears.“Dad, thank you for being alive,” Cassandra sobbed. ‘No, thank you for being alive,” her father said. Cassandra pulled away from her father and turned to Eros who was watching them with a smile. She flew into his arms, it even surprised Eros. She held him tightly. Slowly his arms wrapped around her, and he felt a warmth inside that hadn’t been there an instant earlier. He couldn’t remember the last time anyone had hugged him like this. He has been with a lot of women but Cassandra was his first in many ways. She was the first woman to make his heart flutter, the first woman he wanted to see smiling because of him, the first woman he wanted
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} SANITY CAN WAIT
Cassandra was quiet throughout their journey back to the mansion. Eros let her be, only casting occasionally glances her way and wondering what must have gone wrong. When they got to the mansion, Cassandra went into the kitchen to get a glass of water while Eros went to his room. She was surprised to see Grandma Adella in the kitchen setting the table.“You are back,” the old woman said excitedly when Cassandra entered the kitchen. Cassandra didn’t say anything, she just walked over and hugged the woman, who was shocked at first but slowly wrapped her arms around Cassandra.“Grandma Adella, I am confused,” Cassandra said slowly, pulling away from the woman.Grandma Adella looked at her and smiled, grabbed her hand, and led her to a stool by the island. “What is troubling your beautiful mind?”Cassandra took in a deep breath, and her look became distant. “Eros...Eros apologized to me.”Grandma Adella clutched her hands together with a bright smile. “He did?” Cassandra nodded. “That’s a
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} AFTER THE NIGHT
Cassandra snuggled closer to Eros, fitting perfectly into his arms. They lay there without speaking for a while, each thinking about what had just gone down between them. "So... what was your dream? What would you have become if you weren't in the mafia?" Cassandra asked after a while, rubbing a scar on his chest. "Well, I didn't have any. I was born for the mafia; my path was chosen when I started existing in my mother's womb." "Growing up, you didn't like any other thing? Didn't you get interested in something?" Eros clicked his tongue. "I was busy growing sad to like anything else. What about you? What was your dream?" Cassandra smiled at the sudden way he turned the tables on her. There was something about his childhood days that he didn't want to talk about, and she was only getting curious about it. But she wasn't going to push him to say them. If he trusted her enough, he would tell her. "I have always dreamt of becoming a dermatologist, but some dreams don't come true, r
