As he stood so close to her that Cassie could feel his breath on her skin. It tingled and it was like something inside of her awoke. She looked back up at him with the same fierce eyes trying to conceal what she was actually feeling inside. She replied, "You can consider it however you want. If you want to consider it a threat go ahead". Cassie slowly moved away from him and walked back into the living room.
"Although I would consider it a friendly reminder", she continued.
Leo was stunned. Never had a woman or anyone ever challenged him like that. He swiftly turned back to look at her and asked,
"You don't know who I am, do you?".
Cassie looked a little bit surprised as she turned back to him and replied,
"No, should I?"
"Well you should considering I am........", Leo was going to introduce himself when she suddenly interrupted him
"Oh wait I just realized I have no interest in the identity of a perver
Sorry this one is coming late🥺
"Yes a contract", Cassie replied"And what would this contract state if I may ask?", Leo asked clearly getting more and more intrigued by this woman."That you would help me whenever I need your help",she replied "As I said earlier I am a business woman and as a business woman I'm about to dabble into business people around me believe I shouldn't because I am a woman", she continued"Well if it is what I'm thinking it is, then I'd suggest you listen to them. A woman like you has no business dabbling in matters like that", he replied"Oh but I beg to disagree", she started with a glint in her eyes "I don't see why my gender should matter in business like this. If I remember correctly in business like this it is power that speaks, no?", she continued"And you think you have that kind of power?", Leo asked half amused"And what if I say I do", Cassie replied"I'd say you are definitely delusional", Leo stated with a smirk"Y
**WARNING: SOME SLIGHT SMUT SCENES TOWARDS THE END. PLEASE FREE FEEL TO SKIP THAT PART IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE**"And after yesterday I think I'm going to steer clear off drinking for a while", Sarah finished"Hm hm", Cassie absentmindedly replied. Sarah stopped talking and looked at her"Cassie", she called "Cassie, Earth to Cassandra!""What?! Why are you yelling?", Cassie asked startled"Probably because you've been spacing out and not been listening to anything I have to say.", Sarah replied"What are you thinking about?", she asked"Nothing", she replied"Oh really?", she asked suspiciously"Yes", Cassie affirmed"Ok forget that. Maybe now you can tell me exactly what happened last night", Sarah said"What do you mean? Nothing happened with me last night.", Cassie replied rather uneasily"Really?""Yeah I wasn't feeling great so I decided to come back early, took some meds and then I wen
Leo's face fell as the person at the other side of the door immediately jumped on him and hugged him. Leo immediately pushed the person off. He then tried to slam the door shut but the person was quicker than him and immediately squeezed into the room. Leo sighed as he locked the door and walked back into the living room."Uh bro is that how you are going to treat me""Why are you here Edgar?", Leo asked as he sat on the couch"Why am I here? I heard you got into a bit of a situation with the Santinos. How are you? Are you okay? You didn't break a nail did you? Have a fracture? Break your spleen?", Edgar rambled on as he started fussing over Leo checking him if he was alright."What do you think you are doing? Get off me!", Leo bellowed"How could you say that to me? Do you know how worried I was?", Edgar replied feigning hurt"I thought I'd loose my best friend before he even had a chance to sleep with a woman", h
Edgar stopped walking as soon as he noticed Leo had. He looked up at him and saw that he was staring at somewhere and looked over to see who he was staring at. He looked over and saw Lucian Santino; Leo's archenemy. The Santinos were another really powerful mafia family. Some even said they were on par with the Minettis. The only difference was that the Santinos was a relatively older family. Edgar didn't know why but apparently some bad blood had been going on between the two families for decades now. And Lucian Santino was the heir to the Santino family. He was about the same age as Leo. But he was the exact opposite of him. Although he was smart and very handsome that one could easily mistake him for a model, he also had a rather easygoing and friendly personality to hide his devilish side. He was cunning as he was ruthless but only when he needed to be. He was also the pride of the Santino family. He ran their company and so far he had been very successful with that
Cassie sat at the breakfast table with Sarah, who was chirping away next to her. Not that she was actually paying attention to her. Oh no, Cassie was definitely not paying attention to her friend, rather she was staring at the table across her at the other end of the hall. When the stranger had left her room this morning after refusing her offer, she had thought it would be very difficult to find him again but she certainly didn't expect to bump into him merely hours later and find out his name too. "Leo, what a nice name", she thought as she kept her gaze on him. "And he certainly has a nice face to go with it", she smirked as she turned back to Sarah who was currently making passes at the waiter who was serving them.Leo sat at his table, doing everything possible to avoid looking at that particular table where she sat. He knew she was there and he also knew that she had been staring at him for a while now. He could feel her gaze but he had done e
Leo sat at his study desk, a file in his hands. He sighed. No matter how many times he looked at the file he just couldn't understand it. Uncle Sanchez had sent him the results of their investigations on Cassandra Turner. And he just couldn't quite get it. There was lots of information about her and it was quite easy to get them which was understandable as she was the public figure for her company. Unlike him who used his connections to keep most of his information and his past in the dark as he didn't want to blow his cover.The file Sanchez had sent him had all the basic information like her acquaintances both from her past and now, her business partners and so on. But they couldn't find much about her family. All they found was that her mom had passed away when she was 15 and her dad had abandoned them long before that and had died a while back. But the funny thing was they couldn't find her father's death certificate. They said it was a hit and run case and h
The woman looked different today. She was putting on some loose pants and a loose shirt. Her hair was in a messy ponytail. She looked like she wasn't too up to dressing up. Although she still looked very beautiful and some men in the room still turned to get a second glance at her. Edgar looked back to Leo and saw that it was on this woman he was so fixated on. There was no doubt about it now Leo was definitely interested in this woman. He was happy for the first time his best friend was actually showing some interest in a woman. And at that moment he made a pledge to help his friend with his "love quest". So as the woman walked towards their direction he immediately called out to her shocking her and even Leo.Cassie was on her way to take a table when someone immediately called out to her. She turned and found Leo and his friend from yesterday. She had seen them immediately she entered the room but she decided to just ignore them only for Leo's fr
"What the hell had he done?!", Leo asked himself as he ran in the rain through the alleyways without destination, confused."No.... no there was no way he could have killed her.... no it couldn't have been him", he tried to reassure himself. He tried calming himself as he took several deep breaths and slowed down his steps."No... mom please don't leave me... please don't leave me", the cries of the young girl who leaned over her dying mother crying. The cries of the girl broke his resolve as he broke down once more holding his head in his hands, he cried."What exactly had he done?"Present Day"I'm roping you know into taking responsibility for me"Those words rang in Leo's head. He couldn't help but loose himself in those fierce blue eyes which seemed determined as she made that declaration."He wanted to take responsibility for her". He wanted to yell out to her that he was willing to take responsibility for h
