He kissed her!
He was serious of his word is making her breathless, cus his lips moved wildly against hers. She gasped when he held her waist closer, only to give him a chance to thrust his tongue in.
Soft, addictive, inviting and sweet. He couldn’t get enough. He deepened kiss demanding for more, it was just like that night. A night he won’t forget.
He recalled how she barged into his room, drunk and just before he could speak, she crashed the same addictive lips on his. Cassius recalled how he couldn’t stop himself that night, devouring her as if he own her.
Now he is tasting the same lips again, fucking addictive. His tongue rolled against hers prompting her response, and when she moaned into his mouth, he gently grazed her lower lip with his teeth, earning another moan.
With every nerve he suppressed his urge, and broke the kiss. His eyes fixed on her lips, slightly swollen and wet, she had some tears prickling one side of her eyes as she tried to catch her breath.
She slowly opened her eyes, confusion swirling in them. Her chest heave, pressing breasts against his every moment and the thought of tearing the fabric covering them, made him take a step back.
He clinched his jaw, averting his gaze from her. “There are plenty of rooms here, ask bulter Conrad to escort you to anyone of you choice. Goodnight” He stepped away and left.
In a while, Tatiana found a room, it was a random one she picked since the thought of the intense moment with Cassius won’t let her think. The butler hand a comfortable nightwear to her.
“It’s Master’s, but he haven’t wear them. Please change immediately so you won’t catch cold ma’am” he said.
“Thank you Conrad” she appreciated. Immediately she shut the door, her eyes and lips widened in disbelief.
“Oh Gawd, what was I thinking? Why? Why Tatie?” She grumbled, slamming her head gently on the door. “He kissed you, you should have pushed him away Tatie. Why did I kiss him back, I must be so stupid to have forgotten he was engaged. Shit!”
In a few minutes, she had freshened up and dressed with the comfortable wear give to her. She checked her phone and met several missed calls from Catelyn.
“You’re still in Mr. Kings home, huh?” Catelyn’s voice sounded over the phone, sounding teasingly.
“Dylan request for his favourite and the rain started when I wanted to leave–”
“Awwn”
“Don’t make that sound nothing usual happened. I’m a guest room and I’ll leave first thing in the morning”
“How sad, he is engaged. You both are perfect for each other. Ready to tear the world down if they mess with you or your love ones” Catelyn said and Tatiana scoffed.
“That’s not true”
“Didn’t you see the news about about Dylan’s school. I’m sure Mr. King is behind it. Jojo didn’t tell you?”
Tatiana quickly checked the news about Dylan’s school and confirmed it was true. The school went bankrupt after an important investor withdraw. His name wasn’t mentioned but she knew Cassuis was behind it.

“I’ll talk to her” Hudson’s assured and knocked the door lightly.
“Dee,” he called lightly but got no reply. Hearing her light sobs, Hudson sighed and decided to open the door with an extra key.
His eyes met with Indigo, she was seated on the floor, her back rested on the bed behind her.
“Dee” He called lightly.
“Go away” Indigo voice croaked.
“How long are you going to be like this?”
“I said go away, I want to be alone” She demanded, her face still lowered.
Hudson sighed and sat beside her. “I understand your pain Dee, I know how badly you wanted Cassius you look at you the way you do, but what is done is done. You can’t force someone to like you back..”
Indigo raised her head, her eye swollen and red. “But I’ve tried Hudson. I’ve tried every single thing just for him to want me back”
“I know but you’ll find someone better–”
“If she hadn’t return then he’ll still want me. She ruin everything and you know about about it” Indigo almost raised her voice, her chest heaving slowly.
“She had nothing to do with this, it wasn’t intentional of her–”
“Oh yeah? Tatiana fucked her marriage up and threw herself to Cassius. Not just that, she bore him a child, do you think that’s also an accident. She had eyes for Cassius and she decided to act like a–”
“Dee! Don’t tell me you despise her because of that”
“It’s all her fault. And you’re taking her side because she’s your idol. She decided to be my friend even after knowing what she had done. She made a fool of me Hudson. She stole my life” Indigo retorted.
“Dee please drop this? Cassuis warned you he was only doing this to fulfill his mother wish. He told you a day like this might come. You’ll get to find a man who cherish you.. okay?” Immediately after his word, his phone buzz, reminding him of his work.
“I’ll come back, make sure you eat and stop making that poor maid worried” he ruffled his hair like he used too and stood. “Also, don’t let this destroy that good person in you. Cassius still care about you”
He left the room and Indigo starred into space. Her phone rang and she wiped off her tears, before picking it up.
“Babe! I’ve found the perfect wedding dress. It’s fucking awesome!” Her best friend’s voice boomed from the other side.
“Cassuis broke up with me” She announced.
“What?!”

“Five minutes ma’am” the cop in charge of watching over him informed and left.
Mason eyes opened and met with hers.
“What are you doing here, bitch?” He asked weakly as his brow furrowed. Of course he realized Tatiana was behind that evil scheme against him.
“Here to console you” Tatiana smiled and sat before him.
“I’ll kill you when I get my hands on you” His words dropped one after the other like an old drunk man.
Tatiana chuckled and took of his hand placing it on hers. She grinned. “I’m still breathing”
“Fuck you”
“You don’t have a dick”
Mason felt like his head was going to explode any moment.
“Do you wish you for freedom? I can give you if you want?” Tatiana sighed and sat well, crossing her legs on top of each other.
“Get out”
“Who’s Zero? And how can I find him?” Tatiana asked, her gaze turning serious.
“Go to hell”
“Can you please answer like a normal person. Oh sorry… I almost forgot you’re an animal” She pressed her fingers on her temples.
“Oh I’ll tell you where you can find Zero. So he’ll be the one to kill you cus the moment you’ll cross him, that would be the end for you” Mason sneered.
“That’s quite interesting, tell me more”
“He isn’t some mere men in the industry that you can just fuck him up the way you want. He had many dogs that can run any dirty thing for him. Go after him Tatiana, I can’t wait to see how you’ll end up dead like your sister, Isabella”
Tatiana grinned like she just heard something exciting.
“That Zero man, he runs dirty jobs for whosoever pays him, right?” She asked calmly.
“Connections you’ll never imagine, powerful you never imagine. The underground man has all of them and has been running for years. All you have to do is pay him and he’ll do the job. Your sister’s life was paid for and she got what came for her”
“Who paid?” Tatiana asked and Mason chuckled.
“And you think I’m going to tell you that?”
Tatiana exhaled deeply, Zero is definitely going to be a tough opponent. She haven’t dealt with someone like him and the way Mason decribe him.. this won’t be easy.

The woman was close to Tatiana already but his cold deep voice stopped her.
“Don’t you dare!” He sneered and she paused sighting the man, her eyes widened as if being caught in the act. The man eyes was enough to make her shiver.
Tatiana and Jolene also looked up. Both recognizing him instantly.. Cassius?
Seeing the frown on his face, Tatiana traced his gaze and found the woman behind her. Her eyes widened and she stood up giving the woman questioning look.
“Were you trying to dump those on me?” Tatiana asked. The woman hesitation gave her the answer.
