Riccardo POV:I never knew that Cassandra could be so scary until she threatened to kick my balls. It was quite funny actually, the fact that this tiny woman dared to threaten me. She didn't even know who I truly am. My true identity was still unknown to her. I still couldn't figure out how I should open up with her. But sooner or later, I ought to tell her about it. She deserved to know the real reason why I chose to give up on her seven years ago. It was not because I didn't love her enough. It was because I loved her so much, that I didn't want to risk her safety by being with me.Cassandra entered her apartment building and I followed her from behind, distancing myself about five meters away. She disappeared into the elevator and I deliberately waited until that thing moved up. Then I took the next trip and reached level seven. Cassie was very superstitious about the number seven, it was her lucky number, so she ended up buying an apartment unit on that level.Since I already knew

Riccardo POV: She was scared. I could feel it. I wasn't that clueless to not notice the change in her attitude after I took out my gun. I didn't really mean to scare her. The gun really messed with my posture when I sat. It was pinching my back. Initially, I had no intention to show it to her. But then again, she would see it anyway if I am to take a shower later. She would freak out even more if she saw it without me around. She probably would think that I might try to kill her. The last thing I want was to come out of the bathroom and get hit by some object from her. So, it was better that she knew it this way. Save me a lot of unnecessary trouble and she too looked more obedient now. Cassandra told me to go take a shower. Well, I guessed that was her hint that I'm allowed to stay for the night. I left her alone in the kitchen and went to her bedroom, using her personal bathroom. Certainly, there was another bathroom in that apartment. It was a three-bedroom and two-bathroom reside

Riccardo POV:Cassandra refused to talk to me. We were just silent inside the car, heading to the restaurant. I texted my men to clear the management in Rosette Apartment and changed our people to work there. Cassie kept peeking at me when I was texting, maybe thinking that I might contact other women again. That was the only thing inside her thought whenever she saw me using my phone. Like I would have that much time to waste entertaining other women. I was barely able to entertain her properly, let alone other women. Trust me, I won't have a chance to do such a thing. My schedule was very tight with a lot of important stuff to do.We arrived at a fine dining restaurant and the hostess brought us into a private dining room where Sergio was already waiting for my arrival."The missus looked mad," Sergio remarked while giving me a handshake. He glanced a bit at Cassie who was behind me, wearing a sulky face."She agreed to share the apartment," I deliberately announced the reason why s

Cassandra POV:I ran to the door and opened it quickly. After having a heartfelt conversation with Dome inside the car before, I sort of trusted him now. So, I did not felt hesitated at all to open the front door when he called me out."What happened?" I asked while my hand clenched on the cardigan right in front of my chest to cover my revealing collarbone.Well, technically the sleeping gown that I wore before was like a thin singlet. It was not see-through but still too sexy to go out like that. Before Dome could answer me, the PA system of the building made a baffling announcement."Attention! Attention to all residents of Rosette Apartment. Please leave your units immediately within fifteen minutes. I repeat! Leave your units immediately in fifteen minutes! We received a lethal threat that there's a bomb inside the building. It might blow out any moment now. Leave the building immediately and use the stairs!"What? A bomb? My eye widened as I stared at Dome in disbelief. He notic

Cassandra POV:Ricky gave no response to my question. He was just keeping his mouth shut and a moment later, he looked away from me. Slowly, I released his arm and pretended to run back to the apartment building."Wait! Where are you going?!" The man got annoyed. I expected him to chase after me, and he did.My steps were probably too tiny, it only took seconds for him to grab my body again. Without words, he just dragged me and shoved me into the black car that sent me home before. One of his men entered the driver's seat without being told and started the engine. Ricky told him to drive a bit far away from the scene, so the driver drove about two buildings away from Rosette Apartment. Initially, the car was parked right in front of the apartment building."Get out. I need some privacy," Ricky told the driver when the car halted by the roadside, leaving only me and him inside."Who's Carina? Why were your men all around the apartment? What's with the bomb? Was that meant for you? Is
