By now, how could I not understand?In front of the convoy, the moment I sent a message, he had turned and looked straight at me.The last-minute staff outing.A table full of dishes only puppy and I would have known about.Then there was the contact name on his phone: my real name, saved there long ago.Cassian had known all along.He had known from the start that the woman who owed him fifty million dollars and bumbled through maid work at his estate was the same Mistress who had bossed him around like a puppy online for two years.Only me.Like an idiot, I had thought my disguise was airtight.By day, the Don punished me by making me redo the wine cellar inventory.By night, I ordered my puppy to put on a collar and kneel.By day, the Don warned me not to even think about seducing him.I turned right around and tattled to puppy, ranting about how my creditor was violent and cruel.And he had the audacity to defend himself with a straight face!The more I thought about it, the angrie

After the vineyard incident, I took an entire month's leave from the estate.That same evening, a friend suddenly texted me."Lia!""Turn on the news!"A face I thought I'd never see again appeared on the TV screen.My father, Daniel Bennett, stood in a conference hall on the West Coast.He had lost a lot of weight.Behind him stood lawyers and independent auditors, with a full row of bank statements and investment documents on display."I never misappropriated the charitable project funds."I bolted upright.My father explained that the real problem was the partner organization behind the school.He had trusted them, using his personal assets and the Bennett family's holdings as collateral.The collateral covered the fifty million dollars the Vitale Family had invested in the project.When the project collapsed, the partner had already secretly transferred its assets.My father hadn't run off with the money.He had taken his last unfrozen personal funds to the West Coast to close a me

Messages from seventeen unfamiliar accounts bombarded my phone.[Mistress, look outside your window!]Outside, Cassian Vitale stood in the rain.No bodyguards.No driver.No gun at his waist.Even the Don's ring that never left his hand was gone.He stood there in a rain-soaked black shirt, wearing the black leather collar I'd once ordered him to put on.Tied to the collar was an oversized pink bow.When the wind blew, two pink ribbons fluttered against his sharp jawline in a picture of utter misery.More absurd still, behind him sat a package nearly half his height.A pink ribbon, tied in a bow.To say it clashed with the Don of the East Coast's image would be an understatement.It looked like something one of his enemies had gift-wrapped specifically to humiliate him.When Cassian saw me open the curtain, he immediately stepped back.He didn't come closer.He simply lowered his head and took out his phone.A moment later, my screen lit up.[Mistress, there are mosquitoes out here.][

One month later.The Bennett Foundation's charity gala was held once again at the Vitale Family's vineyard.My father used his investment returns to restart the collapsed project.The first grant went, once again, to the same school for troubled teens from two years ago.This time, every account belonging to the school, the partner organization, and the foundation was overseen from start to finish by an independent audit team.And I had finally returned to the life I was meant to have as Miss Bennett.The stylist curled my hair.The maid helped me into a custom-made red dress and black stockings.My father personally opened the jewelry box and selected a pair of ruby earrings that suited me best.Before we left, he handed me the guest list."Sweetheart, would you like to check it over yourself?"I read three lines and my head started to throb."No.""Why isn't this handled by a professional secretary?"My father blinked, then immediately took the list back."Right.""My daughter doesn'
