All Chapters of Thrown To The Streets By One, Claimed by Another: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

He sighed, pulling her close enough to feel every inch of her. If anything, he needed her warmth now.“I couldn’t find my father for three days. I was outside, in the same clothes. Before leaving the house, I’d saved five dollars from the few cents she threw at me whenever she was kind enough to give me some money. I survived on five dollars for three days, just roaming the streets.”“Where did you sleep at night?” She asked, her voice trembling.“There was a neighborhood that was a bit far from my hood. A lot of hood boys occupied the building, but they also let us sleep there,” he smiled softly. “Young boys like me who had no home.”“And she never looked for you?”He shrugged, still smiling. “Guess she never did.”“How did you meet the Vale couple?”“I met them on the fourth day of looking for my father. I had set out that day, stinking. I hadn’t had a bath in three days.”Marina lifted her eyes to meet his gaze. He appreciated the fact that she didn’t look at him with pity. That wa

Roselyn noticed that her friend had been bubbling with unusual excitement since their meeting began. It wasn’t because Servalia's first launch broke the internet—it was an excuse —but Marina’s elation surpassed that. She had been all over the place since she walked into their workspace that morning.“We’re doing great things, best friend.” Marina squealed as she monitored the downloads and responses their app had received in the first 24 hours after launch. “Ten thousand downloads and a hundred reviews on the first day is a great start.”“Yes, it is.” Roselyn agreed with a nod. “Good way to go. Dominic assured me we would take over if we used his strategy. I’m glad it worked.”Marina turned to look at her friend. “Oh, thank you for meeting that man. We need to organize a dinner to thank him.” The words had dropped before she realized what she said. “I mean, you.” She smiled. “You should take him out on a date. We owe him big time.”“I’ll think about that.” Roselyn returned her eyes to

Marina opened her eyes to see Cassian staring at her. It was way past midnight, and he should be asleep, but his eyes were heavily fixated on her.“Are you alright?” She sat up, taking his hand.“Almost.” His voice was rough. “Almost alright. Why are you awake?”“I should ask you why you aren’t sleeping.” She retorted.They had retired to bed together after dinner, lost in conversation before she drifted off to sleep in his arms.Cassian slowly stroked her fingers. “The nightmares might come again today. They occurred last night, leaving you awake for most of the night. I don’t want that to happen again.”Marina’s heart sank at his reason for being awake. She remained mute, trying to process how much this man cared about her. It was so much that it melted her heart. Sometimes she wondered what she had done to deserve the things he did for her.“I’d have stayed out of the room if you hadn’t insisted that I stay back and share the bed with you.”“Cassian, if you’re going to stay awake, t

CHAPTER“I’d assume that was a joke,” Dominic said, turning to the servers to take his orders after Roselyn was done with hers. “I don’t even know her.”“You don’t have to know someone for them to crush on you, Mr. Chase.”Giving her his full attention, he let his lips curl into a sly smile. “Are you talking from experience?”Heat flooded Roselyn’s cheeks as she pretended to look away. “We came to eat.” She changed the topic of discussion. “And to tell you thank you for helping out with Servalia. The launch was a success.”“It’s all over the place, you know? A new Fintech company founded by a woman. The first in Morvane. I’m rooting for you to make waves, Roselyn.”They held each other’s gaze for a moment longer than necessary. None of them was ready to look away until the servers appeared with their orders.“Thank you.” Roselyn cleared the table for the food trays.Silence fell over them when they left, and Dominic was still watching her with those eyes that made her weak. She could b

CHAPTERMarina’s breath hitched as Cassian’s tongue tangled with hers. The kiss was everything, soft and consuming. Patient, yet carrying a heavy weight of their lustful desires. He kissed her like a man who had been drowning and finally found air.He cradled her face with utmost gentleness, thumbs brushing her flushed cheeks. She melted into him, her fingers threading through his dark hair, pulling him even closer.“Clara and Anne,” he reminded her as he walked her backward. “They are somewhere watching.”Marina gasped as her back hit the cold wall. “I do not care, Cassian. They should watch.” A moan escaped her when he parted her legs, his eyes dangerously staring into hers. He didn’t seem to mind too.“Tell me if it’s too much. I don’t want to hurt him.” He was careful enough to let her lean against the wall before he started his explorations on her body.“Yes, please.” She bobbed her head, absorbing pleasure. “Yes, right there.”Cassian gently took off her dress, fondling her full
