Taken by the Heartless {Book One} AFTER THE NIGHT
Cassandra snuggled closer to Eros, fitting perfectly into his arms. They lay there without speaking for a while, each thinking about what had just gone down between them. "So... what was your dream? What would you have become if you weren't in the mafia?" Cassandra asked after a while, rubbing a scar on his chest. "Well, I didn't have any. I was born for the mafia; my path was chosen when I started existing in my mother's womb." "Growing up, you didn't like any other thing? Didn't you get interested in something?" Eros clicked his tongue. "I was busy growing sad to like anything else. What about you? What was your dream?" Cassandra smiled at the sudden way he turned the tables on her. There was something about his childhood days that he didn't want to talk about, and she was only getting curious about it. But she wasn't going to push him to say them. If he trusted her enough, he would tell her. "I have always dreamt of becoming a dermatologist, but some dreams don't come true, r
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} DISTRACTION
Cassandra stared at Grandma Adella in bewilderment. “H... how did you know about that?”Grandma Adella sighed and sat beside her. “Lucia reported you to me. She said you were planning to kill Eros with Apollo.”“Grandma Adella, that’s not true. I... I wanted to escape quite alright, but I never planned to kill Eros. Apollo was my fiancé, and he came here to save me.”Grandma Adella took in a deep breath. “Have you heard about Apollo’s escape?” Cassandra slowly nodded her head. “He killed a man because the man found out what he was doing. He has been communicating with someone outside this mansion. You might smite Eros, but his anger isn’t still at bay, he could do anything when he is blinded by rage.”“So, what do I do?”“You have to tell him. He should hear it from you than find out from someone else. Lucia wouldn’t present it mildly. I never liked that girl anyway.”“She slept with Apollo. I don’t know how she learned about Apollo and me, but she saw it as an opportunity to tak
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} TRYING
Cassandra beat Grandma Adella to preparing breakfast that morning. She enjoyed the older woman’s meals but wanted to prepare something for Eros. She had never made a meal for him before. Also, she wanted it as a bribe to see her father. She was whisking the eggs when Eros came bounding into the kitchen. He was shirtless, and the sight of his biceps distracted Cassandra a little. He had been flaunting his chest lately, and Cassandra didn’t understand why. Was he trying to seduce her, or was he trying to remind her of how much sex appeal he has?He sat by the island behind her, and she felt his gaze all over her, but she ignored the feeling. They had not had sex after the first day, and the tension was there. It was growing on them, but something was keeping them at bay. Cassandra didn’t know if it was right for her to keep sleeping with Eros since she was not sure she was entirely over Apollo. It felt like she was using him, and she didn’t want that. She enjoyed sex with Eros, and it
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} YEARNING FOR ME
“Why are we at the bank?” Cassandra inquired once Eros pulled into the parking lot. Eros smiled lopsidedly.“We came here to get you an account.” He turned off the engine.“What? No...” she scoffed when Eros shot her a sharp stare. “Is not as if I will put money there anyway.”“Don’t worry, money will come.” Eros got out of the car and opened the door for Cassandra.She stepped out, looking around the place. Eros stretched out his hand for her to take. She stared at his hand for a while without accepting it. “Eros, I don’t want to take things from you when I am not contributing anything.”“I am not complaining, Cassie. Your presence in my life is enough contribution. Please, don’t fight me on this. You need an account to get money when you are in school...”“S... school? What school?” Cassandra stared at him with dilated eyes.Eros grabbed her hand and started leading her toward the entrance. “I will enroll you into the best private institution to get your degree in dermatology. I a
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} HOTEL LAUNCHING
Eros helped Cassandra out of the car, kissing the back of her palm as she took his hand. Some people were loitering outside, mostly bodyguards and security and a few bouncers who bowed their heads as Eros and Cassandra walked past them. The room was crawling with people of different calibre and classes. It was brightly lit with live piano music in the background, champagne, and appetisers served by waiters on trays.Everyone was busy chattering with one person or the other, but heads turned when Eros and Cassandra walked into the place. This was the first time Eros brought a woman to such an event, so everyone wanted to get a good look at Cassandra and know whose daughter she was. The girls in the room glared in disbelief as he walked with his fingers interlaced with Cassandra. The attention made Cassandra nervous, and when Eros noticed, he squeezed her hand.Cassandra really felt out of place in the room. This was not the kind of gathering she was used to, the calibre of peopl
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} THE TRUTH WILL OUT
"Are you alright, tesoro?"Eros' voice jerked Cassandra out of her thoughts. She looked up and smiled at him. "Oh, yes." Eros smiled at her and returned his gaze to the man he was conversing with. Cassandra looked at the screen of the phone again and reread the message. Hello, Cassie, how are you enjoying your ride with him? You are hurting me Cassie, but I promise to kill that man and get you out of there. I will fulfil that promise, so enjoy it while it lasts because you are still mine. Your Love, Apollo. She exhaled deeply and tears stung her eyes. What was wrong with him? How did he know her number? As she turned to tug Eros' arm, her phone rang, and the unknown number flashed on her screen. She stared at it for a while and looked at Eros, he seemed engrossed in the conversation, so she excused herself and headed to the restroom. Once she was there, she almost answe
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} I'M SORRY
Cassandra felt goosebumps blanketing her skin. She knew what Eros was capable of when he was angry. She knew he had never overcome his anger issues yet and the memories of the torture he mated out on her before flashed in her eyes. She wasn't ready to go through that pain anymore. Eros' jaw was so sharp that it could slice an apple in two. She became more scared when she saw the revolver lying casually on the surface beside his large arm. Was he going to shoot her again? Was Dimitra right about his rage knowing no one? Was it true he killed Elena?When she didn't answer, Eros reached for a glass, poured in tequila, and pushed it towards her. "Drink."She was confused. She has never been this scared of him, even when she was just his hostage. His calmness was frightening the shit out of her, and she felt fear rippling through her. Why was he offering her a glass of tequila? Does he want to get her drunk and kill her, so she won't put up a fight? When she didn't make a move to get th
Taken by the Heartless {Book One} GOODBYE
The tension between Eros and Cassandra was not ignorable. Cassandra stayed with Grandma Adella, but she refused to tell the woman what went wrong, and Grandma Adella let her be. Eros too refused to speak to anyone about it, not even Javier. He was always by himself, either slugging down glasses of alcohol or staring at something on his phone. They remained like that until the morning of his birthday. Cassandra woke up that morning, with her mind made up. Eros made it clear that he didn't want to see her, and she respected that. She couldn't bare staying in the same house with him and not speaking with him. She didn't know what was going on in his mind and he was ignoring her. They had bumped into each other in the kitchen last night when she had gone to take water he had behaved as if she wasn't there. It hurt her even more than it would have hurt if he was punishing her. He wasn't punishing her; he wasn't ready to talk either and she was dying of heartbreak. She decided to stay for
