Semua Bab His Regret: I'm with his uncle now : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Arden was sipping on his coffee when his secretary told him Cassie was in. He watched her walk through the floor, to and fro gathering documents, filling, shredding. Cassie had multiple cups of coffee delivered to her office. When he was done taking everything in, Arden knocked on her door. "Cassie? Can I come in?" Cassie waved her hand, ushering him in but never taking her eyes off her screen. She adjusted her glasses, once. Arden's throat tightened. There was no coming back this time. "Cassie, can you look at me?" "I hear with my ears, not my eyes Arden." "Please, I want to talk to you. I need us to talk." "I'm talking to you Arden," she brought her glasses lower, taking her eyes of the screen of her laptop for a moment. Cassie takes her glasses off, pushes away from her desk and then stands up. She walks towards Arden. So close that her face is somewhere between his chest and shoulders cause of the heels of her feet. Cassie's hand finds his belt, then she stretches a lit

After the anticipated, but unexpected rejection from the Rhinelander CEO, Cassie had to work more hours to pull her weight. She never wanted it to look like she was receiving favors from the CEO just because the two of them were fucking. She already got the job in an unconventional way. They thought she didn't see it but they were wrong. Cassie saw the way people whispered in the office when she passed. And given the fact that she and her boss were having loud no-strings-attached sex in the office, she was now looking like a skank. Cassie didn't want that. So she did what any self respecting company executing fucking their boss during work hours would do. She stopped. And Arden noticed. That was why he was still in the building as late as 10pm, tidying up some work he could have given to a subordinate. When Cassie heard the knock on her office door, she knew who is was. "Come in," she said making her desk look messier than it already was. She wanted him to know she was working

THE PREVIOUS DAY. Trent was posting another of the unaware photos he had of Cassie when he heard Misty drive her car into the Silverwood estate, speeding recklessly down the driveway. He watched her from the window and sighed. He could tell by the way she was driving that she was extremely angry. Trent thought to himself that Misty was definitely going to yell at him about something, but he had no idea what it could be. He sat down in his chair and waited for her to come inside. Misty came into the room, and Trent could see that she was even angrier than he had thought. She was also hurt, and Trent was shocked when he saw her face. Her skin was red and swollen, and she had blisters on her cheeks and forehead. Trent asked Misty what had happened to her, but he could tell she was too angry to talk. Misty started talking rapidly, her words tumbling out in a furious stream. "Cassie, that video, my career. Can you imagine she told me to fix my... the launch, those women, they w

Every year, the Silverwood and Murphy families would traditionally gather at the Make Way Speedclub for a day of racing and socializing with the other heirs and heiress in and out of LA. They were usually joined by other influential families with whom they had business and social ties. The network was large, ranging from Arabic billionaire's to Mexican underbosses. No matter what, they always happened to clear their social calendars. It was a chance to relax and enjoy each other's company in a high-octane setting. It was a day that everyone looked forward to, a chance to unwind and strengthen the bonds between the families. Not to forget a chance to show us their wealth through cars and fancy outfits. Even if it seemed like everyone was laid-back, it wasn't so. Everyone wanted to win, by all means possible. That's what made it so exciting. Today was one of those special days, and Cassie had made it a priority to invite herself. That was if Cassie could make it out of the ho

Cassie pushed Trent away, practically screaming she was scared. This version of Trent was the one that could hurt her. "Get off me, Trent. You're too close." Trent's eyes narrowed, but he took a step back, giving Cassie some space. Cassie turned and walked back into the main area, where she was met with a shocking scene. Ross was pulling Ivy who was frantically screaming, away from Arden. Harris had managed to throw the knife onto the floor. "This isn't what you promised, Rossie!" Ivy cried, as her words were dissolving into incoherent sobs. Cassie's eyes widened as she took in the scene. She was confused and curious at the same time. What was going on? As she watched, Cassie's mind began to wander back to the day Arden saved her from permanent humiliation. Cassie stepped forward. "I think we've all said enough for now. Why don't we take a break and reconvene when emotions have cooled down?" She looked at Ross and Ivy. "Ross, can you act like an adult and take care of your
