“Marc, you have to go now.” Cassie shrieked.“What if–”“Damn the what ifs! She's fuckin' depressed and she needs help. Alert me if anything goes awry, okay? And please talk to her.”“Okay, love you.”“Love you too. Text me when she's calm.”In no time, he was at Lena's house. Her apartment was small but comfortable and well-furnished. He pushed the door open and went in, shocked to see the whole damage she had done in the living room.“Lena!” “Lena!!” He yelled the second time and dived into her room.He searched the room but still couldn't find any imprint of her. As he turned to leave, he heard a faint sound in the restroom.He followed suit and found her throwing up in the bathroom. “Lena!” He walked towards her and held up her hair immediately.“What the fuck is going on here! What are you up to?” He asked fetching her a glass of water after she was done throwing up.“Thank you for coming.” She replied lazily.“You do realize I don't stay in a messy environment right? Where's th

“Say it Cassie.”She blinked back a tear and undid the first three buttons of his shirt, grazing her soft fingers along his sculpted chest.She had shocked him, his head jerked back slightly.As their eyes met, the world seemed to fade away. She felt his hand gently caress her cheek, his fingers tracing a line down her jawline. Her heart raced as his lips met hers, soft and gentle at first, then with a growing intensity. A tingling sensation ran through her body. His hands gently cupped her face as he deepened the kiss, his lips moving against hers with a gentle urgency. In that moment, nothing else mattered - no worries, no fears, no past, no future. There was only the heat of the moment, the electricity between them, and the pure, carnal unbridled passion of their kiss. The kiss was full of hunger and passion, a dance of two hearts in perfect harmony. She felt his arms wrap around her, pulling her closer as they lost themselves in the moment.It lasted for what felt like an eterni

He knew Cassie didn't concur to the idea of spending the night at his pent house but after what happened at the tent, he didn't think it was wise to leave her alone at her apartment, especially when Marcus wasn't around. They had called the police to make a report to just to ensure everyone else there was safe. Maybe those guys weren't even after them. Who knows?He poured himself a glass of red wine and gulped down on it continuously, unable to focus on the work he was doing.“You're still awake?” Cassie peeped into his study. The only light illuminating the room was the light from his laptop. She could see his figure in the dark room leaning back on the chair. She turned on the lights and walked to where he was seated, took the glass from his hand and downed its contents.“That was a bit too strong for you.” He groaned.“I needed it. Why are you still awake?”“I'm having a hard time thinking straight here.” He rubbed his temples. “Stop thinking and let the police handle it. Which

“Are we safe in here?” Marcus whined, studying his mum and Nick.“You're always late, Marc. So much to counter an invitation. I pray you don't be late on your wedding.” Ava scolded.“Man's definitely gonna be late on his wedding day and the bridegroom will be forced to marry the best man.” Nick cut in.Everyone in the room laughed loudly, especially Lena. “Hi Nick, good to see you again.” She winked at him.“Good to see you too.” He replied casually. “Is she the one?” Ava asked Marcus when the laughter had obviously subsided.“Certainly.”“Come join us at the table. It's a pleasure meeting you.” She smiled at Lena.“More of my pleasure ma'am.” She hugged her and followed her to the table, saying hello to her husband.“You're most welcome, have a seat.” Nick's father said firmly.“Hello Cassie.” She extended her hand to her.“Hi Lena.” She took it without hesitating.“I was looking forward to the day I finally meet you and here we are.” Lena exclaimed.“Dhurr! Couldn't wait to see yo

Nick's father, Grey, woke up to a series of chatterings and arguments in his house. As soon as he stepped out of his room, his wife, Ava ran to him.“Darling, have you turned on the TV this morning? Look at what's in the media. Someone is setting my alpha son up.” He got the laptop she was holding immediately and scrolled through the pictures the media had of Nick. Evidence of all the company's funds he sent to his women were all over the space. A wild surge of pain pierced through his heart. For the past years he knew his son, he knew he had never used the company's funds for his own benefit.“Where is Nick?” He asked casually.“He left for an urgent meeting with the board of directors.”“Not my son! I trust him so well to believe this garbage. Take it away.”He returned back quickly to his room and sent a couple of emails to the board of directors.Nick was his complete heir to the company and fitted all round in all its affairs, except for his weakness for women which he believed
