“I need to let you in on something.”“What's that?” Nick's brow furrowed on impulse.“I'm taking Cassie's properties to your penthouse. Lena is moving in with me.”“You afraid of fucking Lena in the same roof with Cassie?” Nick buckled up with laughter. “I hope she doesn't freak out.”“Only if you keep your dick down.” Marcus retorted. “Inform your guards.” He yelled.His body soon heated up from the thought of Cassie moving in to stay with him. On the contrary, he wasn't sure she would agree to it but even if she didn't, getting her an apartment of her own wasn't a big deal either. Whichever way, he knew he got her covered.His mom texted a few minutes later with an invitation for lunch the following day so they could talk things through, regarding the decision of the board members and he confirmed it immediately without needing to think about it.He noticed the sad expression of his workers, especially Miss Lance, his secretary. She had come to deliver his usual cup of coffee and so

His heart raced in response. She was hell bent on seducing him right from when she rubbed her body against him, making sure he felt her full boobs on his torso. And when he yanked her up, she imagined herself snuggled up on his body, exploring every inch of him.And then he carried her all the way down to his room, dropped her on the bed and planted a soft kiss on her lip. She wanted to kiss him back but he pulled away, promising to check on her later.What the fuck!She shuddered in a breath and whispered, “Don't leave me here alone.” She could swear the shock on his face was inevitable. She reached forward and cupped his chiseled jaw, pressing her lips gently against his. She moved down and planted warm kisses along his neckline, rubbing the stubble of beards that ran across his cheeks. She heard him suck in a breath from sheer need.“Cass if you keep doing this, I promise you my self-control will be gone.” His voice was hoarse and needy as he locked eyes with her.“You know how muc

Nick had informed his driver, Zach, to follow Cassie to the grocery store just in case anything went south. He obliged and practically teased her before she left. When she pulled out of the house, he climbed into a black Lamborghini and followed her, keeping a reasonable distance.He followed her as she drove across the highway almost approaching the grocery store. Since she was just a few kilometres away from the store, he decided to stop by his favourite Pie Express, to get some burgers for his lunch. When he got back into the car, he accelerated for a few minutes and then pulled over again when he saw her parked along the highway. He wondered what could have gone wrong and drove a bit past her, peeping into the car before halting and coming down.His heart beat raced faster when he saw her head bent over the steering wheel with what looked like blood stained on the light blue shirt she wore.“No..No..No..God please let it be my eyes.” He tried to compose himself and ran out of the

Nick fumbled with the keys in his hand as he stared at the door in front of him. Despite the fact that he had rushed out of the house, he knew he didn't leave the front door hanging. He fell under suspicion of burglary and took out his phone, setting it on the recorder . As he strolled further into the hallway, the lights went off, increasing his anxiety.He made to turn on the lights when a hand grabbed his neck from behind.“Don't you dare touch me.” He tried to fight back instantly but felt the cold metal of a gun pressed against the side of his head as he was being led to one of his rooms.“Sit!” The voice ordered, standing behind him.“Marcus?” He called out in shock, recognising his voice.“Don't fucking call that name.” A resounding slap stung his cheek and he gasped, unable to move because he had his hands tied behind the chair.“What the fuck do you think you're doing!” Nick yelled menacingly as he shot daggers at him in the dimly lit room.“Trying to put your shits right!”

“Oh my God, you're awake?” He sprang up and attempted to give her a hug but realizing the state she was in, he pulled back instantly.“Baby..I'm glad you're awake.” He stroked her hair and kissed her forehead lightly.“Why have you been crying?” She stared at his flushed face and reddened eyes. Where are we?”“We are.. We are in the hospital.” He stuttered.“Why? What am I doing here?” She tried to sit up but the pains on her shoulder came back piercing causing her to scream.“Hey, I'm sorry. Just lay back sweetheart, I promise you that you'll be fine.”“What is going on?” She struggled to speak but her voice came out more as a whisper.“We're just spending some time together.” He tried to fake a smile but it disappeared as soon as he saw the look on her face. “Fuck! I'm sorry. You passed out.”“For..how..long?” “It doesn't matter how long baby, what matters now is that you're awake.”“How are you feeling?”“Weak and tired. Can I..have.. a glass..of water.. please? I'm damn thirsty.”
