RUMORS AND REALITY 2
Apollo was seated on a chair, his head dipped on the headrest, his eyes closed, and a woman between his thighs. His eyes flared open when he heard the noise from the door and the blood drained out of his face when he saw Cassandra standing there. The girl that was giving him a blow job turned and scowled at Cassandra, but Apollo pushed her off and stood. Cassandra felt like her legs were glued to the ground. She fought to look as neutral as possible just to hide that they had anything going on. "I'm... I'm sorry... I came to... I will just come back later." She spun to leave but Apollo caught up with her and grabbed her arm. "Cassandra, wait." Cassandra looked at the girl who was staring at them in confusion and disgust, her arms folded across her chest. Apollo turned to the girl. "Leave now." "What?" "Leave!" Apollo yelled. "Are you fucking the same woman with Eros?" the girl scoffed. "This is not what it looks like. I...I came he

CLUB
When Eros entered his room, Cassandra wasn't there, and it gave him some time to think. He slumped down on the bed, ran his hands over his face, and looked around the room."What am I doing? What is going on with me?" he asked himself. He has been asking himself those questions since morning and had not been able to answer them. Cassandra was occupying his mind in an unhealthy way. It was no longer about sex; he was attracted to her in ways he couldn't even explain, and it was frustrating him because he can't keep on living like that. He tugged at his tie, dragged it away from his neck, and started to pull his shoes. During the interview, all he had thought about was Cassandra and the events of last night. He found himself smiling most of the time at the memories, making the reporter give him confused stares.He stood up, grabbed his cell phone from the nightstand, and dialed Javier. He had to put a stop to his before it gets out of hand. This was not him; this was not what his fathe

CLUB 2
Cassandra went into the restroom to freshen up and mellow down before Eros comes looking for her. She was going to let him handle things his way and if he failed, she would take it into her hands. She couldn't believe Eros Castillo was scared of anyone. She thought he was the most powerful man in the mafia or has she and everyone else overrated him?Two ladies walked into the restroom as she stood staring into the mirror. She wouldn't have noticed them if one of them had not snorted. When she turned, she found them eyeing her and muttering inaudible things to themselves, she smiled inwardly. It was funny, making enemies with people you have never even spoken to before because they thought you had something they couldn't have. What the ladies didn't know was that she would gladly trade places with them right now. They were free and did whatever they wanted to, they were free to go wherever they wanted to without being watched, they could decide to stay home and not leave their houses an

FIGHTING HIS FEELINGS
Cassandra and Eros didn't say a word to each other until they got home. Cassandra didn't wait for Leo to open the door for her, she got off the car and stormed into the building. Eros followed her immediately, getting pissed with her attitude. He was supposed to be the angry one here, he was the one humiliated, how dare she? He wanted to be so mad at her like he used to be but he couldn't, he was just so focused on finding out what was going on in her mind that he didn't get as mad as he should have. He followed her up the stairs and once they were in his room, he slammed the door shut, and in one quick motion, he strode over to her, grabbed her wrist, and turned her to face him.Her back was pressed against the dresser, and she looked away from him, avoiding his eyes. He stared at her for a while, the heat from her engulfing him and he restrained himself from hauling her against him and kissing her silly. Why was she so damn sexy? He began to speak immediately to blot that th

GAMES
A few minutes later, Eros was seated in his office, facing the woman Javier had introduced as Ms Peterson. They stared at each other without saying a word for a while and Eros had to clear his throat. Was she expecting him to say something first? Why was she staring at him like that? Was she not the therapist? She should start by asking questions.She inhaled and smiled at him. "Mr. Castillo, how do you feel now?" she asked.Eros wanted to get grumpy and ask her to get on with the therapy already, but he figured it might be part of the session. "I always feel better.""So, can you tell me about yourself?"Was she kidding right now? Was she not supposed to know who he was already? Javier should have filled her in on it, he didn't have time for all this. But when he was about to snap, he heard Javier in his head. 'Talk to her, it's the procedures...'"I run the Castillo Empire, it was an enterprise left to me by my father, Dominico Castillo before he died...""Er...Mr. Cas

EXPLOSION
Vote and comment if you love the story❤️ Shit, shit, shit, shit. Apollo quickly dropped her as Eros approached them. Her heart was hammering against her ribcage now and she thought of what to do to save Apollo from Eros' rage. Everyone went dead silent, and the only noise heard was Eros' footsteps. She was torn between explaining herself and watching to see what Eros had to say. Explaining would mean she was guilty, but keeping calm meant she didn't know what Eros could do to Apollo.Eros walked up to them and pushed Apollo on the chest. "Why were you carrying her?" he demanded. "Eros..." Cassandra began to speak, but Eros shot her a mean stare. "I didn't ask you the question." He turned back to Apollo who was now standing with his head bent. "What do you think you are doing with her?" "We were playing games and he lifted me like that because our team won, it means nothing!" Cassandra said, letting the words out of her mouth quickly so Eros won

A REQUEST FROM JAVIER
Vote|Comment ❤️ "The show is over, now, go back to your duty posts," Javier said, stepping into the kitchen. The staff and soldiers slowly left the kitchen, leaving Cassandra still seated on the floor, looking defeated. Carlos was still there on the floor, whimpering and clutching his face. Javier motioned for Bully and Apollo to take him to Grandma Adella's apartment to be fixed. She just returned from her trip.When the men led Carlos out of the kitchen, Javier turned to Cassandra and stretched out his hand. She took it hesitantly; he dragged her up from the floor and made her seat on a tall stool by the island. He filled a tall glass with water and handed it to her while sitting on the stool next to her. Cassandra stared at the glass. She didn't know what to think as so many thoughts swarm her mind at the moment. She didn't know if Eros was mad at her or not and she didn't understand the look Lucia gave her. "Have you eaten anything yet?" Javier

DRUNK
It was getting darker, but Eros was not bothered about going home. He sat in the lounge of one of his hostels drinking glass upon glass of alcohol, hoping no one finds him. Javier had called him severally, but he had refused to answer, all he wanted was to be alone. He didn't know why he felt this way and tried to convince himself that it was because of the memory that the therapy session he had earlier sprouted, but deep down in his most secret heart, he knew it was something that Cassandra said to him.Why was he letting it get to him? Why was he letting her mess around with his head? Was he angry? Was he sad? He couldn't differentiate what he was feeling right there. It was a feeling of frustration, a feeling of helplessness. What was he going to do to make her stop talking to him that way? Violence never solved the problem. His phone vibrated again, he stared at it, Javier flashed on the screen, and he ignored it. He planned to drink until he stopped thinking of the differen

BREAKFAST
Cassandra must have slept off sometime in the night because when she woke up, she was on the bed and the side which Eros slept on was empty. They had slept side by side with Eros clinging onto her like he was clinging to life. When she was done cleaning his wounds and got him to wear his pajamas the previous night, they had gone to the room and Eros had pleaded that she stay with him for a little while.She had never seen that part of him before and he looked like a scared child. She decided to stay by him and let him hold her until he was asleep, but she didn't know when she slept off herself and now it was morning. She sat up in bed, stretched herself, and yawned. "Where has he gone to?" she asked herself as she got out of bed and picked up a note on the nightstand. Come down for breakfast when you are awake. Eros.She looked around in surprise, her face crumpling in a scowl. Why was Eros being so gentlemanly? Honestly, she hadn't expected the task to be this simple, but

BETRAYAL
Going for two days without speaking with Apollo was getting heart-wrenching for Cassandra. The worst part was that she had no one to speak to about what she was passing through and how she felt. Her heart was heavy, and Apollo was the only person that could relate to her. Lucia has not even spoken to her after Carlos' incident, and she didn't know why. She has not even seen her friend since that day, so while Eros was at work the next day, she decided to go over to Lucia's room and talk vaguely about her predicament.The boy's quarters were quiet when she got there as everyone had left for their different duty posts. Some even went out with Eros and Cassandra was happy about that. It was almost evening and Lucia must have finished whatever chores she was doing, so it wasn't a bad time to catch up with her. Once she was at Lucia's door, she knocked once and went in but stopped abruptly at what she saw.They didn't even notice her come in or were simply ignoring her. Her feet were
