Semua Bab My heart surrendered to the Boss: Bab 71 - Bab 80

I didn't see Cassian again after that day, but we kept in touch by messages every day. He would ask me simple things about my day and what I planned to do on my day off. Even when I told him everything, I knew he was being constantly informed, because his men never stopped following me, and Harry drove me to college and to the club."We could go out to dinner," Cass wrote, sending a little winking face. I laughed at how he sounded like a gentleman in his messages, but in person, he was such an intense man.I stared at my phone screen, wondering how many sides of Cassian I had already seen. A cruel and merciless man, a hot and dominating lover, a cold and relentless boss, a gentle and affectionate brother."Which one of them are you, really?" I whispered, dragging my fingers across the screen. "What a stupid question. He's already made clear who he is; I can't just let myself be manipulated by him like that."I left the phone on the living room table and went to the kitchen looking for

I was in complete shock. That situation was more serious than I had imagined. It was no longer about catching an ex-boyfriend cheating, but about an heir of the London mafia in a deplorable state. I leaned against the building wall, taking deep breaths with my eyes closed as I thought about what I should do."You're thinking of leaving," Harry said, taking another drag of his cigarette."What should I do?" I said, discouraged, feeling weak. "If he's really an heir of such a big family, if I do anything against him, it will be pointless. He will simply erase everything, including me.""Indeed, if you were any other woman, he'd find a way to make you disappear." Harry's tone made clear there was something much bigger behind all this. I crossed my arms and looked straight into the lieutenant's eyes."Are you using me as bait, Mr. Clarke?" I asked in a cold, irritated tone. Harry dropped his cigarette to the ground, stamping out the glowing tip with the toe of his shoe."Not necessarily.

There were many injured men, some more seriously than others. The furniture had been moved aside, turning the large living room into a temporary infirmary. Doctors rushed back and forth, and I helped within my limitations. The men with light injuries were quickly treated and then sent to assist with the care of the more serious cases."Miss, where should I put this?" one of Cassian’s soldiers approached, his arms full of blankets soaked with blood."Everything must be taken to be incinerated. Please, let everyone know," I instructed, my voice firm even though my body trembled. The man nodded in agreement and quickly left.Day soon turned into night, and I still hadn’t had time to see how Cassian was. He had been isolated in his room; only the doctors went in and out. Not even Harry, who had already been

Cassian's arms tightened even more, every curve of my body molding to his with a perfect fit. However, his body tensed, and a low growl escaped his lips, putting me on full alert. I pulled away, noticing the small blood stain on his bandages."Get back to bed immediately! You strained your body, and the wound might have opened. I need to control the bleeding and check if the stitches have torn." Cassian narrowed his eyes at me, dissatisfied with my instructions. "Now, Mr. Moore."A growl vibrated in his chest as he insisted on disobeying my orders."How long does it take for this shit to get back to normal?" he questioned, still not moving. I pointed to the bed with my chin, without answering him. "I'll go when you answer me." I sighed, knowing I wouldn't win against that man's stubbornness."It will all depend on you. If you follow the doctors' recommendations correctly, you'll be able to return to your normal activities very soon."With a suspicious look, Cassian observed me for a l

With care, Cassian set me down on the floor, then grabbed his shirt and put it on. I stood still, watching his abrupt movements. With a long breath, he ran his hand through his hair and turned to look at me. His eyes slowly wandered over my body, making me so embarrassed that I covered myself with my arms."That which will pay dearly." Cassian approached, touching my face. "Wait for me here, and don't leave this room under any circumstances. Was I clear?" I nodded in agreement.Alone in the bathroom, I took the opportunity to fix myself up and wash my face. I still felt warm, my body tingling, as I wondered if Cassian and I would continue when he returned. My face was so flushed that the faint freckles on my cheeks seemed to have disappeared."Calm down, Emily." I lowered my head, taking a few deep breaths, then heard the sound of something breaking outside the room.I immediately thought something might have happened to Cassian, that his internal injuries hadn't healed properly, and
