The car pulled up and Leo, Eros' assistant quickly went out of the driver's seat, went over to the back door and opened it for Eros, he stepped out and stood tall while Leo went over to the other side and opened the door for Dimitra. Eros waited for her to come to him, then he arched his elbow and she put her hand in. They walked hand in hand to the entrance of the tall building that had about eight-four floors. Two security men opened the door for them and bowed slightly as they walked into the reception.They were going to meet up with his business partners for a new project that requires a couple to handle. Eros didn't bring women to his business, so he had never thought of settling down, but the project at hand needed a married man or at least a committed man, he would have rejected the offer if it wasn't for the amount involved and the relationship he has with the clients. He didn't have anyone to go with, so he called up Dimitra since she was the only woman, he had close c

Cassandra was caught between two men whom she didn't want to provoke. She was sure that Apollo would retaliate if Eros did something to her and that would be the end of everything. Apollo was no match for Eros when it comes to violence. If he ever finds out that Apollo was there in disguise, he will kill both of them and rip their flesh from their bones, so she was going to keep it cool with Eros, at least now, she has something to live for. At least she was sure of one thing now, Eros won't force himself on her if she didn't want anything, Lucia was right about that.They followed Bully to the dining where the table was set for two, Eros was already there seated, stalking her with his grey eyes that reminded her of the sky. She didn't hide the surprise on her face, and she looked at Apollo, his face was expressionless, she hopes he doesn't make a fuss about this later."Sit," Eros said with authority, waving her to the chair opposite him.Cassandra obeyed without hesitation. Sh

Cassandra agreed to do what Apollo said but loving a man like Eros was going to be a difficult thing to do. She couldn't bring herself to love him or even pretend to love him, but whatever she has to do for their escape. What she didn't bargain for was his charms and the way he was easily claiming her, even though she refused to reconcile with the feeling that he was slowly crawling into her soul. When he grabbed her hand in his living room, she felt a grab on her heart, not what she had bargained for. He said he was not going to take what she was not prepared to give. What was she prepared to give? Not her body certainly nor her heart. But why does her heart spark whenever he touched her? She was surprised at his attitude towards her since morning. He was no longer that grumpy, arrogant, heartless man she knew, but seeing him opening doors for her and being all gentle seemed strangely creepy to her. Whatever he does will not make her forgive him. He killed her father. She kept

Somewhere on the way, Cassandra had stirred in her unconsciousness, and it had pacified Eros. He has never been this out of his mind seeing someone hurt before. When they got to the mansion, he got out of the car, took Cassandra out of the car with Leo's help, and carried her bridal style toward the house. He kept looking at the perfection that was her face as he approached the front door. The cut on her forehead didn't mar the beauty and it drew him in more. The pronounced lines of her eyebrows, her lush eyelashes, her straight, small nose, the beautiful contour of her cheekbones, and her slightly parted lips, she was all shades of beauty and mystery to him. Bully and Apollo came running out to get Cassandra from him, but he restricted them, shoving Cassandra away from their outstretched arms. "What happened to her?" the guy Apollo asked concerned. Eros ignored him, but something shifted in him, something was not sitting right with the concern in the guy's voi

Lucia dragged Carlos up the stairs as quickly as possible. He followed her sheepishly like a sheep being led to the slaughter. It's been a while since they did their little rumble. Since Dimitra woke up, Carlos has not been steady. When they got to the restroom, Carlos started to pull at her blouse but she slapped his hand off and folded her arms across her chest. With his face creased into a frown, he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Is everything alright?" "No, everything is not alright. You said you will buy my freedom, but you haven't done anything about it since." Carlos had promised to buy her freedom. He had said he would pay Eros to own her, he didn't like that he had to come over to Eros' to have sex with her. He was beginning to like her and he wanted her to be his, but he just haven't found the time to speak to Eros about it. He sighed and held her shoulders with both hands, turning her to face him. The pout on her lips made her look cute. "I w
