No Matter What — CHAPTER 41

CASSIE'S POV:-

I was sitting in the cafeteria of the office. I was not allowed to leave the office without Mr Hunt. He strictly ordered that ever if I had to go shopping with Iris, we would have to go with either Mr Hunt, Chris, Scott or my dad. They were all extra cautious about me and my safety. I did not mind at all. Even though Iris tried to talk me through to get me to go shopping alone, I declined. Because I knew it was better to sit home than asking for trouble with Mr Hunt.

Scott came in and took his seat. I called the waiter and ordered lunch for both of us. I had informed Mr Hunt that I had some things to discuss with Scott about the case. He allowed me to go to the office cafeteria. And Iris promised me that she would take care of my work until I would come back. To be honest, they were all a great support for me to fight that battle. It was a great relief knowing that I was not alone into this fight.

Scott: So tell me, Mrs Hunt. What is bothering you?

Scott asked me and chuckled. I pulled my phone out of my purse and unlocked the screen. I showed him the reason I called him to meet me.

Cassie: I have been receiving all these threatening messages from an unknown number. It has been a week since we came back home. Everything was fine by now. But yesterday, I received the first text. Since then I have counted, I have received fifty six threatening messages in twenty four hours. I thought it would be better to tell someone other than my dad or Chris. I really want all this to be over so I can live my life peacefully with my family.

I told him everything while he read each and every text that was inside my phone. His facial expressions changed from humorous to worried as he was done by the last text.

Scott: You did right to tell me everything. I will take care of it. Keep your phone but don't open these texts. I will find out who is behind this and why. You need to be ready for the session tomorrow. You have started a war, Cassie. The accused ones throw stones on the innocent ones to scare them away. But you don't have to be worried about it at all. We all are standing with you.

He said and handed my phone back to me. I nodded my head and we enjoyed our lunch together. He told me everything I should keep in mind while the session would be going on. He also told me that all proofs are straight against Hendrick Black and the kidnappers also testified. That means happens but in the end, I would win this fight. It was a relief to know that I would soon be free from the cage Hendrick had caged me in.

I hopped into the car, ready to go back home. I was excited to see Chris. It was a long day and I went through it as well. Mr Hunt also stepped into the car and asked the driver to take us home. He wrapped his arm around me as I started feeling sleepy.

Mr Hunt: Are you okay, dear?

He asked me and I nodded my head with a cheeky smile.

Cassie: I am fine. I'm just tired.

I replied and he hummed. I closed my eyes and the rest of the ride went silent. Or maybe because I was into my dreamland. Mr Hunt woke me up as we reached home. He helped me out and took me into the mansion. As always, Stella had cookies and chocolate milk ready for me. I squealed in excitement and went to her. I was about to grab a cookie when she cleared her throat. I looked at her and she angrily signalled me to wash my hands. I stomped my foot on the floor and went to the kitchen to wash my hands.

I went back to the living room where Chris was sitting on one of the couches. I went to him and sat beside him. He quickly wrapped his arms around me and pulled me in a bone cracking hug.

Cassie: Chris, I can't breathe…

I said while gasping for air. He chuckled and let me go. His one arm was still wrapped around my shoulders and with the other one, he fed me the cookies Stella had made for me.

As we stepped into the bedroom, Chris pinned me with the wall as he locked the door. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the bed. He sat on the bed and I sat on his lap. He got rid of his tux jacket and I loosened up his tie.

He grabbed me by my hips and threw me on the bed. He hovered upon me and leaned in. He teased me with his hot breaths. He was rubbing his lips over mine. I cupped the back of his head with my hands and slammed my lips on his.

He smirked and pushed his tongue inside my mouth. I enjoyed the way his tongue caressed my tongue. His mouth tasted like mint ice cream. I broke the kiss and raised a brow at him. He rolled his eyes and laid down beside me.

Cassie: You had ice cream and that too without me?

I asked him as he sneaked an arm around my waist. He pulled me on top of him.

Chris: Yeah! I had ice cream. Why should I keep you in mind every time I would have ice cream?

He asked me and I huffed in anger. He pulled me even closer and pecked my cheek.

Chris: Your ice cream is in the fridge. You can have it whenever you want. But right now, I want to have my ice cream.

He replied and licked my cheek. I bit my lower lip and he sat up on the bed. He peeled his clothes off of his body and started peppering kisses all over my body.

Cassie: I want you, Chris.

I moaned as he bit my neck.

Chris: I am all your, my lovely wife.

He replied in a seductive tone and the next thing I knew, was another dress of mine being torn off of my body. He pinned my wrists above my head and kissed me hard.
