"Hey" I smile shyly at him, heat rising to my face.

He's smiling at me with his eyes, seeming to enjoy how awkward I feel about the situation.

"I went for a run at the beach and didn't see you when I came back." he smiles.

"I-I didn't think it would be good to still be sprawled on your bed till whenever, y-you know." I mumble, drawing circles with my fork on the table.

"I don't know" he smiles lazily, enjoying every moment of my mortification.

"Ughh, come on, it's not funny okay, people do this all the time, it's not a crime okay."

He just stays relaxed and very calm enjoying seeing me all worked up, somehow he looks even more handsome sitting so casually and lazily.

"I never said anything about last night or that it was a crime, you seem to be the only one thinking that way." he smiled tightly this time.

"Tell me, do you regret it?" he spoke in that sexy accent of his.

"No, do you?"

The edge of his lips tugs up into a smug grin and he winks knowingly. "What do you think?"

I can't help appreciating his good looks, this guy is a god among men and the rest of us are just faithful followers. Even in casual beach black patterned linen collar shirt, white shorts and just sandals, topped with his black sun shades that he slides up his hair, he looks amazingly hot. Is that even possible? Some people were just born lucky.

"So what are your plans for today?" he asks.

"Umm, none yet," I swallow,  "I guess I'll just go with the flow of the day." I utter lightly.

"Perf-" he goes rigid for a moment, his face unreadable.

"Hey, what's going on" I say.

He's looking ahead of me at something or someone, I try to turn around to see what has his attention but he pulls me by my hands.

"Follow me" he commands.

We are out of the restaurant area before I know what's happening and I tug me hands free from his.

"Err- no, you can't just pull me out like that, what or who are you hiding from, cause something or someone seemed to have you running from there just now." I snap.

He seem to debate telling me before he starts, "It's just an old acquaintance, she just can't seem to take a break."

"I wonder who would" I say to myself but he hears me and stalks toward me like a hunter to  it's prey."

"So are you saying you can't seem to take a break from me." a devilish smile is plastered all over his face.

I keep backing up till it's just the wall holding me in place, my heart's beating loud, I swear anyone could hear the sound of it.

"I didn't say that" I murmur.

"Not out loud but you implied it." I catch the flicker of amusement in his eyes.

He reaches for my face and holds my chin up, staring down at me again with that unreadable expression.

"How-" his phone rings interrupting the moment, he scowls at the screen before picking up, speaking to the other person in different language, It sounds Italian.

He puts it away about to continue but his phone blows up again, after checking the screen this time he doesn't pick it.

"How about we give you an adventurous vacation" he winks and pulls on my hand, I don't even get to have a say in the matter, leaving me to trail behind him.

We come to a stop at the sea side. Great maybe he'll just throw my body into the water, you know, cause he's so handsome and his only flaw maybe that he is a psychopath.

What if he is a serial killer too, waiting to kill me and dump my body somewhere but why was I obsessed with the idea of him being a serial killer. You know some killers could be really handsome that's why their victims don't suspect a thing, another thing was that other language he occasionally spoke to someone else on the phone sounding all mysterious, like he was trying to hide something.

What if he was in the mafia. Okay that's like a stretch but what if, I don't really know this guy.

"You know I'm still your tour guide, remember." he has that carefree look on his face now.

He makes a gesture with his head to the water and I see the jet ski.

"No way." I reply a look of horror on my face.

"Yes, way," he smiles, cupping my chin so I'm looking directly at him. "Come on, live a little, besides I'll be right with you all the time," he gives me an encouraging smile, "What do you say?"

"Umm, okay." 

He takes my hand and we go to one of the guards there, he's telling him something and I'm just in my own head riling with the fact that I'm actually going to do this.

I mean what's the point of having an adventurous vacation in a place where no one knows you if not for things like this, right?

He takes my hand and is putting the life jacket on me, "You know if you don't want to we could try out other stuff here." he says when he looks at me face.

"No, it's okay, it's just, I can't still believe I'm doing this, it's crazy but also exciting" I blurt.

"Hey, just relax and if you feel like you don't want to go on, just give me a sign and I'll stop."

"Okay" I smile and get onboard.

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 49- Payback

    CASSIEMatt had texted me to know if I was free tonight, so we could hang out for a bit. It was a long time since we hung out though. It was past six already but I was still on my desk, I hadn't clocked out from his company, even though I was through with my work.He looked really tired during the meeting, I wondered if he was still in his office. Before, I could realize what I was doing, I was already on the last floor, a few steps away from his door. It's alright, I'm just checking if he's in that's all.I knock lightly on his door, no sound came from the inside and Pedro wasn't in his office. Maybe I should just turn around and leave but I do the opposite. I open the door and enter the office, I see him sprawled on the couch, eyes closed, collar undone, sleeves rolled up, his hair messy."What do you want?" he says without even opening his eyes.That was a great question, what was I doing here? Why did I come? I could have just gone home straight or had dinner with Matt."Uh, I jus

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 48- He Always pulls Away

    The meeting finally ended, thankfully. Scarlet walked up to me as every other person files out of the room."Wow! Cassie you really are amazing at what you do. I can see why Damian decided to keep you." she teased.I shrug lightly. "I'm just doing my job."I see Damian looking toward our direction from outside or better still looking at her. She looks at my line of sight, then smiles."You know, I've known Damian almost all my life," there was something in her voice, I couldn't really pin point what it was. "And I've seen people come and go, he doesn't let many people close." her eyes met mine.I nod in confirmation to that, "Yeah, I suppose that's true.""So don't take it personally if he pulls away, he always does." for the first time the smile on her face faltered but only slightly."Oh dear." she touched my arm lightly. "I didn't mean to make you worry. I'm sure everything is fine. Just thought to give you some heads up, know you, for the rainy day, where one day everything is fin

    "That's not true, I would never owe you fifty dollars." I retort.He shrugs lightly as he steps back. "How would you know? You said you don't remember." he states matter-of-factly."Yeah but what would I use the money to do?" I retort. "I won't know, you tell me?" he looks at me innocently.I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. Frustrated I close my mouth. He was really enjoying this. This was one hell of a situation I had gotten myself into and I was at my wits ends here.Just then Pedro knocks lightly, "Your two o'clock to close Mr Castillo." Then he turns to look at me for a second an unreadable expression on his face."I'll be with you shortly." he said dryly.How the hell did this blow up in my face? I head for the door, hoping to make a peaceful exit."I do hope to get my money back." he says with amusement in his voice.I exit the office without looking back. What was I supposed to do now. Maybe it wasn't too late to tell him that I remember everything from

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 46- A Debt

    I take her hand in mine, returning the handshake.Damian sighs. His voice drifting from inside his office. "Ignore half of what she says.""Only half?" Sofia gasped. "That's progress."I laughed before I could stop myself."See?" she turns around to look at her brother. "She already likes me."But I still didn't know how she knew my name? Did Damian tell her about me? But that would mean..."Uh, how do you know my name?" I couldn't help but ask."Seb told me about you." her smile broadens."Sebastian?" I utter gently, that would make sense, that guy, he was great but mischievous."What do you want Cassie?" Damian said huskily, appearing at the doorway.Right, what was I here for again."Pedro," I turn around but he was gone. "He dropped the file of the revised schedule for an upcoming investors reception in your office and I need to retrieve them."Come in, it should be on my desk." he deadpanned."So..." she turned towards Damian. "I'll just leave you two to do your work." she said w

  • The Voss's undoing   Chapter 45- Sofia meets Cassie

    DAMIANSofia had insisted I take her out during the weekend to different places in New York and it had been a stress reliever, just like old times but now I had a lot to work to review."Hello Pedro." I hear as she greets Pedro sweetly.I had just finished reviewing a contract when my office door burst open without so much as a knock."You know," I say without looking up, "Most people wait to be invited.""Well, most people aren't related to you." she walked straight in, stole the espresso sitting on my desk and took a sip. "Hmm."I exhale deeply and finally look up."Good morning Sofia." I rub the bridge of my nose slightly. "Aren't you supposed to be in London by now or some place else? I probe slightly raising a brow.She frowns dramatically. "Don't tell me you're already bored of me. Can't a girl decide to spend more time with her brother." she drawls."Yes, it would be nice, except I smell a hidden motive. What are you aiming for?" I arched a brow."Do you really think so little

    "Oh, he didn't." I say through gritted teeth."He told me just enough." Sofia grinned. "Well if I'm being honest here, mama was the first to tell me about it but she didn't have enough information, so I called Seb and sort of threatened him." she smiled cheekily feeling pleased with herself."He said and I quote, 'There's finally someone who makes your him smile without him realizing it.'"I rubbed a hand over my face, that guy was a traitor and my mum, Who told her? How did she know anything?"I'm calling mama." I reach out to pick up my phone on the island."You'll lose." she smiled mischievously. "You always lose against Mama.""I know." defeat evident in my voice.She smiled victoriously. "I inherited her stubbornness."She inherited everyone's stubbornness but that was a discussion for another time."Well you've already made yourself comfortable, I'll just go finish up some work." I start heading out of the kitchen."Hold up, that's it, just like that," she flaps hers hands drama
