“He missed you terribly.” Clara’s words cut the air, breaking the silence.

Marina hadn’t expected to run into her so early that morning. She’d been avoiding a conversation because she didn’t want Clara to bring up what she saw yesterday.

“He was turning into something else during your absence. I’m glad you’re back for him.”

Marina brought the cup closer to her mouth and gently sipped from the coffee, allowing the words to sink in without guilt.

“How terrible was it?” She asked Clara.

  • Thrown To The Streets By One, Claimed by Another   107. Selfish

    Cassian hadn’t returned any of her calls. She had contemplated visiting him several times, but she kept holding back. He probably didn’t want to see her right now. She’d spoken with Clara over the phone, and from what the older woman told her, Cassian hadn’t been at home for three days.She was greatly worried about him, but it killed her more that she couldn’t see him.Roselyn sat next to her, offering her a glass of juice, but she didn’t take it. “I hate that you keep going over the same thing over and over again, Marina. This whole thing would have been avoided if you had told him the truth from the beginning.”“You know I had my reason for keeping it a secret from him.”Now that she thought of it, she might as well be wrong. Cassian always supported everything she did. He could have asked her to go easy because she was carrying a baby, but he’d never deter her from achieving her dreams.“Same reason that’s causing you to wallow in regret now.” Roselyn rolled her eyes. “What do you

  • Thrown To The Streets By One, Claimed by Another   106. Your little girlfriend

    TWO MONTHS LATERCassian’s and Marina’s relationship was blossoming again, more beautifully than it’d ever been this time. Though she’d yet to move back into his house, she visited him frequently, sleeping over most times.His life seemed good now that she was back with him. The handover at the Vale Empire would take place in three months, and the board has scheduled the final meeting to finalize the votes before preparations commence.As expected, Adam won the round. After losing his ticket, Daniel had suggested a vote round and bribed more men to stay on his side, but Adam’s promises seemed greater. Daniel shot Cassian a look, angry that he didn’t care so much about losing to his uncle.After the meeting, they vacated the hall, but Daniel stayed back. Fury burned in his eyes. “There is still time to consider the idea I told you about, Cassian. He won the vote round with just 4% of the vote. Imagine, we have more men on our side too, we just need a more solid backup until we have our

    Roselyn was breathing hard by the time she broke the kiss. Her lips were so swollen, they hurt. She never intended to have her first kiss with Dominic today, but it felt good.“I didn’t. We shouldn’t.” She sighed, not meeting his eyes. “Oh, goodness. This wasn’t my intention when I kissed you, Dominic.” She was saying too much at once. The kiss had messed up her system. “We should return to the kitchen.”He laughed softly. “Relax.” He held her hand. “We kissed, and it was beautiful.”Roselyn’s eyes widened. How was he still composed when she was literally losing her mind? “I just wanted her to stay away from you, I promise.”“But why?” He asked as he led the way into the kitchen.“Why what?” She asked, confused.“Why do you want her to stay away from me? Do you like me?”“Oh, goodness.” She shook her head. “You’re misunderstanding the whole point here, Dominic.” She settled into the tall chair in the kitchen, grabbing an apple. She bit into it to calm her nerves.“I’d like an explanat

  • Thrown To The Streets By One, Claimed by Another   104. Prove a point

    Roselyn’s eyes scoured the living room of Dominic’s penthouse in a quick glance. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed the skyline. Expensive, carefully curated furniture. Every detail was intentional, but it lacked the kind of warmth that made it feel like a real home.“Welcome to my house, Roselyn.” Smiling, he gestured around, observing how she carefully surveyed the house. “Have a seat.”“Thank you,” she sighed. “You live here alone?”“Yes, had to get a smaller space after my divorce.”Her eyes widened. Did he just call this place? If this was small, then her apartment was minute.“It’s huge and very decent.” If Cassian hadn’t bought her a house after getting together with Marina, this kind of building would be strange to her. All thanks to Cassian, she had tasted luxury too, and wasn’t overly impressed as she would have been eight months ago. “It’s nice.”“Thanks. Make yourself comfortable while I get you something to drink. Water or soda?”“Water is just fine, Dominic.”After serving

She’d been avoiding a conversation because she didn’t want Clara to bring up what she saw yesterday.“He was turning into something else during your absence. I’m glad you’re back for him.”Marina brought the cup closer to her mouth and gently sipped from the coffee, allowing the words to sink in without guilt.“How terrible was it?” She asked Clara.“So bad Lily had to step in because he was drinking all the time, almost losing himself.” Clara walked down to where Marina was sitting in the kitchen. She held her hand and looked at her with a pleading gaze. “Please, don’t leave him anymore. I’ve never seen him in such a devastating state. Anne and I were genuinely scared for him.”Marina’s thundered. She wasn’t planning to leave Cassian again after everything that happened. She would stay with him, but no matter how much she concluded that she would s

    “Hey,” he stroked her hair gently.“Hey,” she responded, clutching their fingers. “I think Clara saw us. Now, how do I face her?”A nasty chuckle left Cassian. “We’re adults.” He reminded her in case she’d forgotten that they weren’t committing a crime by sleeping with each other. “And we had sex.”Marina covered her face with her palms. “That woman is going to tease me until she has the last of it. I'd better not run into her when I’m leaving.”Cassian pondered on her words for a moment. The thought of leaving made him feel uneasy, but as Lily had advised, he didn’t have to do it all at once. They would start all over, slowly, at her pace, until she was ready to come back to him.“She has a boyfriend, Marina.”She lifted her body from his chest. “You think that old woman is still having sex at this age?”Cassian shrugged, not saying a word.“No way.” She smiled in disbelief. “She’s way too old for that.”“You never can tell, dear Marina.” His lips were curved into a sly smile. “She’s

    Dominic was seated at one of the tables at the venue Roselyn had picked for this date, which she had invited him to. His eyes rested on his watch briefly to check the time. A few minutes had passed since she fixed the time, but she had yet to show up.He sighed, wondering how she would invite him t

    The candles flickering on the table made the room cozy for Roselyn. She loved the simplicity the restaurant carried. Dim lights and large windows overlooking the city, Dominic chose a perfect spot for this date.“Why Fintech?” Dominic asked, cutting into his steak with practiced ease. One eye was o
