Lines of goosebumps spread across her skin, a greater percentage of it forming from his touch, and had absolutely nothing to do with the cold weather.

“We’re outside.” She reminded him when he brought his fingers up to part her lips.

The city was quiet, but there could be people watching them, waiting to take private photos. She didn’t trust those paparazzi not to be lurking around.

“What does it matter?” His hand tightened around her as he drew her closer.

“Someone might—” she felt his lips on

    The kiss hit hard. Fierce and desperate. Days of being apart and thoughts of losing the one who meant more were poured into the moment as tongues lapped aggressively in a teasing kiss that only deepened their hunger for each other. Cassian cupped her face between his palms, his thumbs carefully tracing every curve of her cheeks as if she were the most fragile thing in the world. He pulled back to look at her, but Marina didn’t have all the patience in the world. She dragged him back to herself, crashing her lips back on his.“You have no patience, Marina.”“No.” She agreed unashamedly. “Not when I want you this mad.”Something about the honesty in her voice prompted him to catch her hand. He shoved it down his slacks so she could feel him.Her eyes widened. “Are you sure?” She asked, worry coloring her tone. He gave a nod of approval, but the moment she reached for his manhood, it fell flat. She stared at him, shaking her head. “Maybe not now.” She quickly masked her disappointment w

    Anne and Clara rushed towards Marina as Cassian led her into the living room. “What happened?” Genuine concern dripped in the older woman’s voice. “You left the house in good condition.”“Just a small accident, but I’m fine now.”“Leave us,” Cassian commanded them. The two women hurried into the kitchen, leaving Marina with Cassian. “I asked my security team to look up what happened at the event.” He almost caught how she tensed. “Two women were with you and Roselyn before the accident. Who were they?”“Cassian.” She called softly. “I’m good.”“I want to know who they are. They deserve to be punished for hurting a pregnant woman.” His woman.“I hit her first,” because she insulted her, but that part remained silent.“I know you, Marina. You wouldn’t raise your hands to hit a woman if she didn’t ask for it.” He looked at her. The fear in his eyes earlier was still clearly evident. After hearing how shaky Roselyn was on the phone, he had thought something bad had happened to Marina. Mo

    Roselyn has had a few encounters with Cassian, but he has never been this furious in the few times she has seen him.“She followed me to a boot camp and got into an accident.” She explained briefly, not certain she wanted to spill more information.Dominic recognized Cassian. He stood beside Roselyn, as if trying to steady her as she struggled to give Cassian details of everything that had happened.“How did the accident occur?” Cassian’s face carried a serious expression, almost scaring her into speaking more. “Did someone hurt her?” “She’s awake,” the doctor’s voice cut through the room.Cassian dashed towards her. “Can I see her?”“Who are you to her?” The doctor asked him.“Her man,” he admitted firmly. “Can I see her now?”The doctor shared a glance with Roselyn, as if to ask if he was right. When she nodded, she said to Cassian. “Please, come with me.”Marina was sitting on the bed when they entered. Roselyn and Cassian hurried towards her while Dominic found a space in the cor

    Leila Carter knew she had no business here in this boot camp. She had never fancied Fintech, but it was also a perfect opportunity to see and reintroduce herself to Dominic Chase, the man she had been secretly crushing on and the CEO of CipherNova, the man in charge of this program.Despite Ivy’s quarrel with her brother, she had managed to convince her to tag along. They sat there in the room, their pretty faces holding soft smiles even though they had no clue of what was happening at the event.All Leila cared about was the elegantly suited man in front of them, who was advising individuals willing to start a career in Fintech. Dark, stylish hair. Blue eyes that squinted easily. Perfect six feet three height. A devilishly handsome face and a body she had admired from afar were all displayed to her freely.“And that wraps things up for this year. See you all next year.” A loud round of applause erupted throughout the room, praising him for the knowledge he had shared. A hand shot hig

    “You’ve changed so much since that night, Collin. You no longer make me happy.” Ivy’s voice carried a deep edge of sadness, but Collin didn’t seem to care.He reached for his glass of wine, his eyes back on his phone, checking for updates on their business deal.“You don’t even look at me anymore.” She continued. Her unending whining was pissing him off, but he maintained a composed expression, his attention still on the screen. “Collin, I’m talking to you.”He cast a brief look. “Did you come here to nag about my inability to make you happy and look at you?”“Collin.” She glared at him. “I know you’ve been acting strangely because of that woman.” When he didn’t deny her assumption, she went on. “She’s gone to leech on another man, and you’re still obsessed with her?” An unbelievable scoff left her.“You and I,” he threw a finger between them. “We’re never meant to be together. This was never meant to be.” Something like regret crossed his face.“You chose me over me, you picked me.”

    “The woman in this picture. Do you know who she is?” She tapped her fingers against the table, waiting.Clara stared at the screen, blinking her eyes rapidly. “My eyesight failed sometimes. I might need to fetch my glasses to see her clearly. Give me a minute,” she hurried into her room, coming out with her glasses on her face—a pair of pink glasses with stylish frames.Marina shook her head. That old woman would never admit that she was above all of this.“She looks familiar,” Clara said as she zoomed the screen.Marina nodded, her heart racing. She knew it. Cassian was involved in an affair with that woman.“She comes here sometimes.” Clara returned the phone to Marina. “I do know her.”“What did she come for, and what do you know about her?”“She’s Lily Miles, Mr. Vale’s childhood friend and therapist,” she paused, looking around to make sure everywhere was safe before she talked again.“Do you know that the boss struggles with nightmares? Oh, you should. You sleep on the same bed
