Cassandra’s POV“Oh shit, I’m late!” I blurted, staring at the time on my phone. My heart sank. I was some minutes late for my dinner date, and tonight wasn’t just any date..it was special. I’d spent forever curling my hair, lining my lips, making sure the red dress hugged me in all the right places. And now? I was late. “But it’s worth it,” I muttered to myself, forcing a grin at my reflection in the mirror. “I look great.”And I did. The sleeveless red dress stopped just above my knees, my black stilettos adding a dangerous edge. A tiny purse dangled from my hand, and my makeup was just enough to glow without screaming try-hard. My auburn hair cascaded in loose waves down my back. For once, I felt flawless.Tonight was supposed to be everything. Nicholas, my boyfriend had invited me out, and I already knew what was coming. We’d been together since college, six years of ups, downs, late-night study sessions, cheap pizza dates, and stolen kisses in library corners. Today was our anni

Cassandra’s POV“Have you guys met before?” Nicholas asked casually, his eyes flicking between us.I shook my head too quickly. “No. First time seeing this… stranger. Nice meeting you mister.” My voice cracked on the word, and I hated it. Nicholas didn’t notice he was already pulling out a chair.We both sat down, though my eyes couldn’t stop darting around the room, searching for any hint of what I’d been expecting all night. A ring box hidden somewhere. Flowers. Champagne. Something. But there was nothing. No surprise. No anniversary. Just a stiff, suffocating business atmosphere.My stomach soured. Could it be that Nicholas really forgot? Six years together, and he forgot? Then why invite me at all?The men dove into conversation, their voices low and serious, and I was left to stew in my thoughts. My fingers twisted the strap of my purse until it cut into my skin. I should have been celebrating, not babysitting a meeting.Maybe it wasn’t Nicholas’s fault, I told myself. He ran a s

Cassandra’s POV“What? Suddenly not bold anymore?” he asked as his palm landed on my ass. The sharp sting made me shiver, and I shot up from his thigh.God. No matter how much my body reacted, this was wrong. I couldn’t just fall apart and jump on another man because Nicholas had sold me short. That wasn’t me. Or at least…it wasn’t supposed to be.“I’m sorry, Sir. I don’t mean to lead you on, but..” My words caught when I noticed his eyes fixed shamelessly on my breasts. Heat rushed to my cheeks as I scrambled for my dress.Pervert.“But I can’t go through with this,” I added, clutching the dress to my chest. I expected him to snap or force me, but instead he leaned back, lighting another cigar.“I know,” he said easily. “You look like the kind of girl who’d moan her ex’s name if we fucked. And I don’t want that.”His words sliced through me. So raw. So unfiltered. A part of me wanted to laugh, wasn’t he too old to be this blunt? But the joke was on me.Because he was right.If it wer

Dante’s POVI walked out of the hotel, and I couldn’t help but be amused by the mess of the last few hours. In all my forty-two years, I had never met someone who unsettled me the way she did. Most of my encounters with women were predictable—quick, ravenous, over in hours. But her? She was clumsy, feeble-minded in a way, yet oddly captivating. It was memorable, and I wasn’t used to remembering.“Boss,” Tyson greeted, bowing his head slightly. I only gave him a nod and slid into the back seat of the car. Still, I didn’t give the order to drive. Instead, I sat back, hands folded, eyes fixed on the hotel doors. She had rejected my offer earlier, but I wasn’t the kind of man to leave loose ends. I wanted to see her walk out, make sure she got home safely. Or maybe I just wanted to see her one more time.“Isn’t that the boyfriend?” I muttered when I noticed a man pacing outside, shoulders tense, jaw set.Tyson leaned forward. “You mean..”Before he could finish, she came out. Cassandra. H

Cassandra’s POV“Wait! Wait for me!” I screamed like a madwoman, my heels slapping the pavement as I chased after the bus. My lungs burned, my hair stuck to my face, and I almost collapsed with relief when the bus finally squealed to a stop. I pushed my way in with the rest of the crowd, panting like I’d just run a marathon.Life doesn’t stop for heartbreak. You could be going through the worst pain in the world and still have to fight your way onto a crowded bus just to survive. My weekend had been hell. Every time I thought of Nichols’s betrayal, I cried myself to sleep. By Monday morning, I looked like trash. But who cared?Work waited, and work didn’t care if my heart was in pieces.I plastered makeup under my eyes to hide the bags, smudged on some lipstick, and dragged myself into the office. Mondays were chaos, everyone too busy to notice that I was walking around with a broken soul. Or so I thought.Because the moment she arrived, the entire floor went silent.“Applaud!” a shar

Cassandra’s POV I took several shaky breaths as I tried to calm my racing nerves, but I couldn’t relax, especially not with that man in the same room as me.How could he do it? One minute he was flirting with me, and the next, he was back to being cold and professional.“Erm… we’re going to give you…” I stuttered as I tried to explain my proposal, looking like a complete fool because nothing I said made sense.“Thanks for the presentation, Ms. Monroe,” he said, voice cool and clipped, “but it looks like you’ll need to come back with another proposal. Make sure you’re better prepared.”“No!” I blurted, cutting him off. “We need to have this meeting now. I can convince you..you won’t regret partnering with us.”“Really? Humor me,” he rumbled, that husky voice crawling under my skin. I rolled my eyes, wondering why the man seemed determined to make my life hell. I continued my presentation, but my mind faltered every time his piercing gaze met mine.Get a grip, Sandra! What the hell are

Cassandra’s POVMy palms grew sweaty as I looked at him, praying he wouldn’t say anything to my best friend. How would I even tell her that I almost fucked her uncle?“What’s this awkwardness? Have you guys met before?” Mira asked, but before her uncle could respond, I blurted, “No! Of course not!”He looked slightly taken aback by my denial, but that wasn’t my concern. I didn’t want Mira to think I was some loose girl, so it was better that way.“I know, he just got back to the country. But do you know why he’s called Casanova?” Mira teased, laughing, but she didn’t need to tell me I already knew better than anyone.“Seriously, Mirabella? Are we doing this right now?” he asked with a light chuckle, but I didn’t care. I just wanted to leave.“Mir, I think..” I began, but Mira excused herself, leaving me alone with her uncle.“So, we haven’t met before?” he said with a knowing smirk as he stepped closer, cigar in hand. The faint smoke didn’t overpower his manly scent, it only mixed wit

Cassandra’s POVThe wind blew gently, but my body was on fire as he roamed his large palms over me, our lips intertwined as we explored each other’s mouths with hungry tongues. Time blurred, the world hushed, and for a moment, nothing existed but the way he held me firm and desperate like he’d been waiting a lifetime for this. His mouth moved over mine with slow fire, tasting, claiming, leaving me dizzy and aching for more. Then, after what felt like forever, he broke the kiss.“Ahh!” I panted heavily as he pulled back, our noses brushing as we caught our breaths. That was when reality slammed back in.I had just kissed a man almost twice my age, my best friend’s uncle outside my apartment. And the craziest part? I loved it. I wanted more. I must have lost my damn mind.“Fuck!” I cursed, staring at the man whose eyes burned with lust. His expression was so raw I could’ve sworn I was already naked under that gaze.“Should we go in? I don’t mind your room being messy,” he rasped, voice

Cassandra’s POV“What!” Miss Claire screamed, throwing a stack of files at my face. I froze, stunned, unable to believe what just happened.I’d barely gotten to the office that morning when my supervisor summoned me, her face red with fury. She was fuming about DM Corporation dropping us from their project after learning that I wouldn’t be participating anymore.That man was screwing over. “Are you trying to screw us over, Cassandra? Do you want this company to collapse and leave us all jobless?” Claire shouted, her voice sharp enough to slice through glass.She hurled insult after insult, completely disregarding my attempts to explain why I couldn’t continue with the project.“Ma’am, I’m just..” I stammered, but she cut me off with a glare.“I don’t care how you do it, but you’re going back to DM Group and getting us back on that project. Otherwise, you can kiss your job goodbye!”What! Would she really fire me? Panic struck deep. I knew pulling out of the project might cause damage

Dante’s POV“Yes, Daddy,” I heard her whisper, and I smirked, seeing that I had her trapped. But my satisfaction was short-lived when she suddenly pushed me off, as if she had just realized something.Her face flushed as she stepped away, mumbling incoherently, blaming herself for acting so loosely, but her reaction only made her more intriguing to me. I knew dragging her to the gala with me, was the best thing. “Why are you so worked up? Didn’t I ask you to call me that?” I teased, voice low. “It’ll be more exciting if you say it when you’re pinned under me and..”She cut me off by covering my mouth, horror flashing in her eyes.“This shouldn’t be happening! What are you doing, Mr. Blackwell? It’s unprofessional, and considering our history, it’s unethical!” she rasped, trying to catch her breath.“What’s unethical? We aren’t talking business now,” I murmured. “We can flirt. And you aren’t my niece, which means I can have you if I want.”My words came out raw, stripped of restraint.
