Chapter 41- A Drunken Mistake

The event had long come to an end and the decoration team had taken out almost everything. The soft hues of dusk left the sky making way for the twilight as I just stood outside the hospital entrance, reminiscing about the event.Our team had wandered into the city to explore before dinner."The event is over. Don't you think?"I turned at the sound of that familiar voice. Damian stood a few steps away, one hand tucked into the pocket of the coat he was wearing."I didn't know you were still here." I exhale heavily, a bit startled by his voice."I had a brief meeting." he deadpanned."Shouldn't you be out there exploring the city with your team." he looked genuinely puzzled."I should and I would. I'm just trying to take everything in. What you established here is massive, it's renewed hope for a lot of people. I think this particular event is going to stick with me for a very long time." I exhale loudly.He just smiles and nods slightly. "Yeah me too."We stay in comfortable silence

Chapter 42- A Step Too Late

EVARain tapped softly against the windows of the Luther Medical Center. The neurosurgery floor was unusually quiet for a Friday afternoon, compared to how busy Matt always was during the weekends."He's in his office." Emily told me with a smile. At this point almost every staff in the hospital knew Cassie and I.I give a little laugh, "Thank you." I reply.Matt had just finished reviewing a patient's scan, when I snuck into his office but then decided to stay by the doorway."I was beginning to think you actually lived here." My voice startled him.He looked up from what he was doing and smile at me as I raise the two coffees in my hands."Visiting hours don't apply to you anymore, do they?" he shakes his head."They never did." I walk in and place one coffee on his desk. "I figured you hadn't eaten.He glanced at the untouched sandwich sitting beside a stack of patient files. "You know me too well.""I know you're hopeless." we both laugh at that, as I produce the burger I got for

Chapter 43- The Hurricane named Sofia

MATTEva was watching me carefully."What" I try sounding nonchalant."You always waited and by the time you decide to speak..." her eyes seemed to dim a bit. "It's too late."I nod my head and smile bitterly.She rests her elbow on the pavement. "Do you know what scares me?"I look at her, she continues gently."I'm afraid one day not far from now, she's going to fall in love with someone else."I look away. "What if she already has." my voice dropped to a whisper."You know about Damian?" her expression softened."Just bits and pieces." I mutter lightly. "The guy she was with in Ibiza, that's him right?"She just nods slightly. "She doesn't talk about him much.""She doesn't have to." I smile sadly. "I've known Cassie since we were teenagers." Silence settled between us.After a long moment, Eva reached over and squeezed my shoulder."If you love her, just tell her. Even if she doesn't choose you. At least let her know how you've always felt for her." her voice dropped to a whisper

Chapter 44- The Inevitable

"Oh, he didn't." I say through gritted teeth."He told me just enough." Sofia grinned. "Well if I'm being honest here, mama was the first to tell me about it but she didn't have enough information, so I called Seb and sort of threatened him." she smiled cheekily feeling pleased with herself."He said and I quote, 'There's finally someone who makes your him smile without him realizing it.'"I rubbed a hand over my face, that guy was a traitor and my mum, Who told her? How did she know anything?"I'm calling mama." I reach out to pick up my phone on the island."You'll lose." she smiled mischievously. "You always lose against Mama.""I know." defeat evident in my voice.She smiled victoriously. "I inherited her stubbornness."She inherited everyone's stubbornness but that was a discussion for another time."Well you've already made yourself comfortable, I'll just go finish up some work." I start heading out of the kitchen."Hold up, that's it, just like that," she flaps hers hands drama

Chapter 45- Sofia meets Cassie

DAMIANSofia had insisted I take her out during the weekend to different places in New York and it had been a stress reliever, just like old times but now I had a lot to work to review."Hello Pedro." I hear as she greets Pedro sweetly.I had just finished reviewing a contract when my office door burst open without so much as a knock."You know," I say without looking up, "Most people wait to be invited.""Well, most people aren't related to you." she walked straight in, stole the espresso sitting on my desk and took a sip. "Hmm."I exhale deeply and finally look up."Good morning Sofia." I rub the bridge of my nose slightly. "Aren't you supposed to be in London by now or some place else? I probe slightly raising a brow.She frowns dramatically. "Don't tell me you're already bored of me. Can't a girl decide to spend more time with her brother." she drawls."Yes, it would be nice, except I smell a hidden motive. What are you aiming for?" I arched a brow."Do you really think so little

Chapter 46- A Debt

I take her hand in mine, returning the handshake.Damian sighs. His voice drifting from inside his office. "Ignore half of what she says.""Only half?" Sofia gasped. "That's progress."I laughed before I could stop myself."See?" she turns around to look at her brother. "She already likes me."But I still didn't know how she knew my name? Did Damian tell her about me? But that would mean..."Uh, how do you know my name?" I couldn't help but ask."Seb told me about you." her smile broadens."Sebastian?" I utter gently, that would make sense, that guy, he was great but mischievous."What do you want Cassie?" Damian said huskily, appearing at the doorway.Right, what was I here for again."Pedro," I turn around but he was gone. "He dropped the file of the revised schedule for an upcoming investors reception in your office and I need to retrieve them."Come in, it should be on my desk." he deadpanned."So..." she turned towards Damian. "I'll just leave you two to do your work." she said w

Chapter 47- Uninvited

"That's not true, I would never owe you fifty dollars." I retort.He shrugs lightly as he steps back. "How would you know? You said you don't remember." he states matter-of-factly."Yeah but what would I use the money to do?" I retort. "I won't know, you tell me?" he looks at me innocently.I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. Frustrated I close my mouth. He was really enjoying this. This was one hell of a situation I had gotten myself into and I was at my wits ends here.Just then Pedro knocks lightly, "Your two o'clock to close Mr Castillo." Then he turns to look at me for a second an unreadable expression on his face."I'll be with you shortly." he said dryly.How the hell did this blow up in my face? I head for the door, hoping to make a peaceful exit."I do hope to get my money back." he says with amusement in his voice.I exit the office without looking back. What was I supposed to do now. Maybe it wasn't too late to tell him that I remember everything from

Chapter 48- He Always pulls Away

The meeting finally ended, thankfully. Scarlet walked up to me as every other person files out of the room."Wow! Cassie you really are amazing at what you do. I can see why Damian decided to keep you." she teased.I shrug lightly. "I'm just doing my job."I see Damian looking toward our direction from outside or better still looking at her. She looks at my line of sight, then smiles."You know, I've known Damian almost all my life," there was something in her voice, I couldn't really pin point what it was. "And I've seen people come and go, he doesn't let many people close." her eyes met mine.I nod in confirmation to that, "Yeah, I suppose that's true.""So don't take it personally if he pulls away, he always does." for the first time the smile on her face faltered but only slightly."Oh dear." she touched my arm lightly. "I didn't mean to make you worry. I'm sure everything is fine. Just thought to give you some heads up, know you, for the rainy day, where one day everything is fin

Chapter 49- Payback

CASSIEMatt had texted me to know if I was free tonight, so we could hang out for a bit. It was a long time since we hung out though. It was past six already but I was still on my desk, I hadn't clocked out from his company, even though I was through with my work.He looked really tired during the meeting, I wondered if he was still in his office. Before, I could realize what I was doing, I was already on the last floor, a few steps away from his door. It's alright, I'm just checking if he's in that's all.I knock lightly on his door, no sound came from the inside and Pedro wasn't in his office. Maybe I should just turn around and leave but I do the opposite. I open the door and enter the office, I see him sprawled on the couch, eyes closed, collar undone, sleeves rolled up, his hair messy."What do you want?" he says without even opening his eyes.That was a great question, what was I doing here? Why did I come? I could have just gone home straight or had dinner with Matt."Uh, I jus
