CASSIUS VALE POV“Feels like I haven’t worked for months…” I muttered and sipped my steamy hot cappuccino, I was seated on my little work space at the balcony, the cool morning breeze was refreshing and exactly what I needed to get some work done.I scrolled through my emails, and the roll was unending. I had a lot of proposals to approve, a lot of investment opportunities to review… buying properties is my favorite thing to do.Annelise was still deeply asleep, this was my only opportunity to get some work done.I sighed and turned my work phone on, I had put my phone on do not disturb, and had my P.A do most of the jobs, very important jobs too, which was unlike me, but I had to do it for Annelise. I needed to spend more time with her so that I wouldn’t feel like she would slip off my finger when I get too busy… That was exactly why I enrolled her in uni.Might sound selfish, but I never really wanted her out my sight. Yes, the p

His first girlfriend

ANNELISE POVThe drive to Cassius friends house was fun, Cassius was carpool karaok-ing ‘This is the day by The The’ while I had my eyes fixated on Paris civilization, the city was really pretty and it made me look forward to times like this.I turned to look at Cassius as he sang along the music on the car stereo system and he looked back at me, giving me the perfect wink.We were getting along so well and it was so relieving.“What should I expect from your friends?” I asked him as he tuned down the music, I like preparing my mind before I meet new people, I don’t like awkward conversations or situations.I met Cassius best friend in the art auction event, but we didn’t actually talk so I can’t say much, Women can be bitchy though, so my main concern is his wife… But Cassius concluded that I would love her, so I’m literally counting on his words.“Oh, Sweetness. I can smell your Anxiety, but really, Dashiell and Isolde are

Elevator guy

ANNELISE POVI woke up quite late the next morning after a very eventful day yesterday with Cassius, Isolde and Dashiell. I remember getting so wine drunk and sleeping off on their couch, but I don’t remember getting back home.I hated days like this, I’m a nightmare when I’m drunk. I mean, I don’t have the habit of always getting drunk, but when I do, I wake up to embarrassing stories.I sighed and turned to the other side of the bed. Cassius wasn’t lying next to me as expected, but there was a note and a pill with a glass of water next to it on the bedside cabinet. I grabbed the note.‘Good morning, Sweetness. I had an urgent meeting to attend. I couldn’t bring myself to wake you up after the night we had, I gave you a kiss though, take the pill, it would help with the hangover. I will be back before noon.’I pulled myself up and sat mutely on the bed imagining all that might have happened last night, what I might have said and what he might actually think of me right now.“Oh no! A

Circle of blood stain

ANNELISE POV For the fourth time this week I have woken up to Cassius’ side of the bed empty, and I was starting to get worried that it might become a routine. I know he had a life before we met and he had been too available for me, hell, I knew this day would come, when Cassius would be too busy managing his wealth, but now that the time was here, I couldn’t handle it. Cassius had promised to make time for me, he had even made sure that I got my admission approved faster after the vice chancellor got sick and took a break, but when the admission letter was sent two days ago, he wasn’t home to see how happy and grateful I was, My mom still hadn’t called back and this time her Skype wasn’t reachable. I wasn’t really worried about Mom because she had a habit of leaving her phone low and mostly charging it when she needed me. I woke up this morning feeling a bit exc

27 years ago …

CASSIUS VALES POVIt’s been about three days since I last spent quality time with Anne, and it’s been affecting me more than she believes.I hated missing her first day of school, I knew that she would hate me for sending a stranger to take her to school and missing her big day which was a once in a lifetime experience, but I had no choice!I was protecting her… From me.It was that time of the year again, the last quarter of my werewolf shift… The last full moon of the year, I needed to leave home because my wolf starts reacting days before the actual full moon, and for the first time since my first shift, my wolf started reacting a week before the full moon with an aggressiveness I had never experienced before, like he was trying to tear off my skin before due date.It was disturbing and strange, I tried controlling it for Anne’s sake, but the more I stayed close to her the more the feeling worsened. I was suddenly seeing myself

Emergency Room

ANNELISE POV My eyes slowly tore open from perceiving a soothing familiar scent, my first sight after waking up was a blurry view of the ceiling then a masculine silhouette at the periphery of my eyes, my heart skipped as I quickly turned in shock, and there he was, seated on the couch staring at me with a small smile and eyes filled with guilt, He held a bouquet of pink Tulip flower’s with both hands, they are my favorite but I never mentioned that to him. “Good morning, Sweetness.” He said with a gentle tone as he stood from the couch and sat on the bed. “Where have you been, why didn’t you answer my calls?” The guilt in his eyes were too obvious to ignore, I had never seen him look so culpable, so vulnerable. He dropped the flower on the bedside cabinet and took a deep breath then turned to me. “Anne… Sweetness, your Mom…” Once he mentioned ‘Mom’ my heart sank, I didn’t n

Moaned the ‘L’ word

CASSIUS VALES POV One week later… I stood by the kitchen counter, watching Annelise who was standing at the balcony, with the glass partition closed separating me from her. She looked hollow, lost… Confused, she’s been standing there for hours watching the Eiffel Tower with a glass of brown wine. She hadn’t said a word to me since the Surgeons announced her mother’s demise, when we got the news, her reaction wasn’t what I expected, I had prepared myself to console her as much as she needed even if I didn’t know how to do that, but her reaction was… Blank, her eyes were vacant, she received the news like she had already been expecting the worst. These were moments I wished I could control, I felt emasculated knowing that I could do nothing but to watch her get lost in grief. She had requested that I helped her cremate her Mom’s body and k

Unsaved number

CASSIUS VALE POVAfter about four rounds of sex, we lay on the bed panting for breath, I turned to Annelise and she was staring at the chandelier dropping down the ceiling, smiling with satisfaction.“That was amazing…” she said and turned, staring into my eyes with so much… Need? Then she pecked my lips. “Should we make it five?” She uttered, biting her lower lip sexily as she sat on my waist.“Sweetness…” I muttered, sitting up. “How about we talk, why are you avoiding talking about your feelings?” She tumbled off the bed and walked towards the bathroom.“Maybe there is nothing to talk about, my Mom is dead, her body has been cremated… let’s move on and be happy.” She said and shut the bathroom door.“You are clearly not happy, Sweetness. I can take you to where I kept her ashes.” I said as I followed her to the bathroom. “Annelise, you can talk to me, you know that right?” I said as she gave an obvious fake smile and slid the shower screen shut.“I have to prepare for school, I can

Derealization

By 12:46 Cassius was already parked outside the school building waiting for Annelise, cars were trooping in and out as some students came out of the building.Cassius checked his wrist watch for the time, five minutes had passed since he arrived, he sighed and rested his back on the chair as his eyes went to the reflection at the mirror of the paper shopping bags branded with ‘Léa Atelier’ at the back seat.He had spent over an hour trying to make a clothing choice for Annelise, but ended up going with Léa’s choices. Annelise was in a delicate position, and he couldn’t risk making her unhappy by his ‘insecure’ choices as Annelise had referred to him.Soon he spotted Annelise, she was laughing and discussing with a girl in baggy clothes, her hair packed up in a high ponytail. Cassius could tell at first glance that the girl was French, but what he really wanted to know was if the girl was good enough to be hanging around Annelise, Annelise looked happy though, her smile didn’t look con

She was scared for him… Sloan

Cassius’ hand rested at Annelise’ lower back as they walked through the crowded red carpet, camera flashes flying around. Annelise let out a small smile with her head lowered from the lights, she clung tightly to her bag as they walked into the event hall.“Can I get your name please?” A valet on black suit and white neatly knotted tie asked specifically to Cassius, there were other attendees on glamorous outfits dressed to impress lined up behind them.“Cassius Vale and Annelise Moore…” Cassius replied, his expression stern and his eyes wondering around the hall, his hand still clung to Annelise’ waist.“Oh, right on time, we have been expecting you, please come with me…” the man said as he walked ahead, leading them to the main entrance as another Valet replaced him at curb.The sits in the main event hall were almost all occupied, as they walked through the aisle, the silent comparisons, measuring look, head to toe gaze from the women and a few men didn’t go unnoticed by Annelise,
