CASSANDRA'S POINT OF VIEW

It's crazy to think that my life would turn out this way, from an orphan to a gangster and an assassin. It would seem that nemesis has caught up with me after all, karma is a bitch but maybe I'm getting worried over nothing I could actually profit from all this.

I'm sorry for not introducing myself early, my name is Cassandra and I'm 23 years old and I'm sure you would be finding out more about me as we move on.

I took a deep breath as I knocked on the huge golden gate and watched it being opened by the gate keeper or at least the person I assumed to be the gate keeper. The man who opened the gate looked at me for a while before licking his lips lustfully and smirked before asking in a flirting tone, "what could a beauty like you be doing here this early? I don't think I recognize you as one of Damian's whores."

I've never been so disgusted in my life seeing an old man flirting with me but I just had to play it cool. I smirked and sexually cat walked to him, rubbed his chest and whispered in his ears, "actually I'm here to apply for the job as the personal bodyguard of Damian since I heard about the vacancy but I guess we can get to know each other more if I should get the job."

I made sure my hand roamed all over his body while saying this to him and when I finished talking to him I left him and just as I expected his dick was as hard as a rock and the idiot responded while licking his lips, "of course sweetheart do come in", men! Bunch of easy, gullible and stupid idiots.

I moved in going pass him and gasp when I felt my butt being spanked, I was so enraged but I turned my face back to him and smirked while he smiled lustfully and licked his lips again. Yep! This man is not going to live long when I eventually get employed, I thought.

From the corner of my eyes I saw the guards looking at me lustfully and smirking which really increased my anger but I kept a cool appearance on the outside. I was led inside the mansion by the man who opened the gate for me.

At the very entrance of the mansion I heard a loud shout of anger which shocked me, the man leading me inside the mansion just smiled and kicked the door open and my oh my, the sight before me was terrifying.

DAMIAN'S POINT OF VIEW

"Damn! Damn! Damn! How could she force me to put up a vacancy for a female guard! Not just any guard a personal bodyguard. My life just got more crazy", I shouted angrily. I'm Damian by the way, a 26years old billionaire with an asshole for a stepfather and an annoying but loving mom who has been singing about marriage to me and as a way of punishing me for not listening she's forcing me to open up vacancy to get a female personal bodyguard for me. Yep! My life just got more crazy.

I really lost my cool and shouted angrily destroying things in the living room, the guards knew better not to interfere when I'm in this mood. Then boom the door was kicked open by non other than my stupid whore stepfather, Sebastian. Yep! My life is fucked up. "Easy there boy", he said while displaying his stupid smirk.

"Sebastian don't annoy me unless you want to get your head separated from your body", I replied him still angry. "You'll separate my head from my body? What about your fucking whore of a mother, she won't get any dick as good as mine in that pussy of hers", Sebastian replied smirking as usual and that actually nailed it, in a moment Sebastian was already on the floor while I disfigure his face with punches from different angles.

His guards that were at the door tried to help but immediately all my guards brought out their guns pointing it directly at Sebastian's head. Sebastian's guards were helpless, it took me almost twenty minutes before I was satisfied with what I've done then I got off from Sebastian and it didn't take a second more before Sebastian's guards took him away.

I was about leaving when one of my guards spoke up, "what about her?" At that moment I realized that someone was at the door and realizing that it was a female, I got pissed off.

Everyone know how I hate females, except for my mother of course, females are just good for fucking up and ruining a man's life with that feeling called LOVE yet Sebastian had to bring his whore, "If she was indeed Sebastian's whore wouldn't she leave with his guards," my mind spoke to me and I kind of saw some atom of truth with that logic so I turned to have a better look at her and my oh my was I speechless, where on earth did Sebastian get this angelic creature from!

CASSANDRA'S POINT OF VIEW

Fear is the expression on my face right now, I can't believe after so many years of being fearless someone just turned me into a scared kitten. At least I got to know that the lustful idiot's name is Sebastian and from the research I made about Damian, his stepfather's name is Sebastian but why does he hate his stepfather so much and why does Sebastian disrespect his wife?

That will be a puzzle to be solved later. I was lost in thought until I heard, "what about her?" I jerked back to reality as Damian's eyes met mine and damn, this guy's face is the definition of sexy and handsome. "When you're done checking me out then you'll tell me who you are and what you want", Damian said to me unexpectedly and I must confess that I was more than embarrassed but I decided to keep a calm and serious face, masking my embarrassment.

"Well Sir, I got information online about the vacancy for a female personal bodyguard and so I decided to apply and the information I got led me to this address", I replied. "What makes you think that you are qualified for this job", Damian asked maintaining his professional tone. "I have worked with a security agency for four years before quitting sir", I said. "How old are you", asked Damian and I'll be damned if I said that didn't come as a surprise, "I'm 23years old", I replied.

"19years is quite a young age to join a security agency don't you think?" Damian said and damn I'll be a liar if I said this man is not smart, well it's time to disclose what I usually don't like disclosing.

"I'm an orphan, my parents died while I was still in highschool and I had further my education through the help of a scholarship so working at a security agency is the best thing to do I guess."

I looked away from him after I said that because I hated it when I see pity in a person's eyes anytime I tell them my story but I don't know what pushed me to look at him but when I did I saw nothing but surprise and admiration in his eyes which got me surprised and I won't deny the little excitement I felt for seeing someone giving me a different expression after hearing a part of my story.

"I admire you, not everyone can go through what you went through and end up the way you did. Anyway not to sound rude but where are the proof of your former occupation as a security agent", Damian requested and I hastily brought out the work identification card from my purse and gave it to him to scrutinize. I had nothing to fear since the proofs are all legit.

Wondering how a gangster got into a security agency and still didn't get caught well it's quite easy when the second in command at the investigation department is the head of the gang I'm in.

When Damian was through scrutinizing he gave the card back to me and asked, "I'm one of the most protected person in the country and all my guards are well trained and skilled why would my mother ask for a personal bodyguard, a female?"

This question is really tricky and I understand that Damian is trying to test my reasoning so I said, "well it's not new that you are not usually comfortable with so many guards since you always try to avoid their escort probably because you don't like being suffocated by so many people and probably some of your guards might probably be working with your enemies, just last month attempts were made on your life thrice.

My guess is your mom might reason similarly with me and decide to bring in someone competent enough to protect you and good enough to be trustworthy and also everyone know you dislike females since the time of your ex fiancee, Suzanna, so I'm guessing your mom also want you to get along with the females. I'm not saying I'm the one to fulfill this but I can try."

I ended up my speech and I can see that Damian and some of his guards are pleased with my reply while a few of his guards looked tensed probably because I brought out the fact that they might be betrayers among Damian's security personnels and this observation was also noticed by Damian as he scanned the facial expressions of his guards.

"You," Damian called upon one of his guards who has being looking at me badly since I started talking, "fight with her, I want to test her skills. If you win she'll leave and you'll get promoted but if she wins you'll lose your job and leave immediately."

Damian said to him while I just smirked and signalled the guard with my hands to come and this got him angry as he ran towards me and I knew that at the rate he was running he won't be able to stop easily and I've been standing a few feet from the door which was wide open so immediately the guard got close to me by a few feet I did a front flip and landed on his back and just as he turned my feet kissed his face making blood to pour out from his mouth, he was so shocked but I didn't let him regain composure as I knocked him off and punch him thrice on the face.

He quickly recovered and rushed to attack me angrily and when he got close enough I kicked him where the sun does not shine and he lost composure and with one swift move I raised him up and through him out through the opened door and shouted, "You're fired, find your way out of the mansion", and I closed the door.

As I turned round I saw the look of amazement and respect on the other guards face and I knew instantly that I've won their respect although some of them still had lust in their eyes but I'll deal with them later, my eyes finally connected with Damian's who smirked and walked up to me saying, "You haven't actually told me your name?" "Cassandra Dominic," I said while he replied, "You've proven yourself worthy after all, you've got the job", I was just lost staring at his handsome smirky face and unknowingly a smirk came into my face.

DAMIAN'S POINT OF VIEW

I've never been so stunned by anyone on earth! How can a sexy and beautiful figure like this be so deadly. She answered all my questions perfectly well and the fact that she's an orphan and has gone this far in life deserves nothing but respect and admiration.

I watched as she scanned the faces of all my guards then her eyes finally landed on my face, I walked up to her with a smirk and said, "You've proven yourself worthy after all, you've got the job." She was lost looking at me then a smirk formed on her lips and damn this is the first girl I'll be getting friendly with after the betrayal of my ex fiancee, Suzanna or Suzan as I used to call her.

I finally got myself after I remembered my ex fiancee and cleared my throat which seemed to bring her back to reality and then I asked her, "I'm sure you've read through the terms and conditions of this job online and you know that you'll be staying with me as my personal bodyguard."

"Yes, I know" came the reply, then she continued, "I'll be really grateful if you allow me to go and take my things from my apartment then I'll come back." "One of the drivers, Jefferson, will drive you to your apartment to get your things and will also take you to the mall to get what you lack," I said.

"Alright, thanks," came her reply. "Make yourself comfortable in what's left of the sitting room, I'll be back," she chuckled in response to what I said.

"So that's what happened," I said to myself when I finished watching the footage of how Cassandra came to the mansion, I saw she was angry, annoyed, and disgusted at the treatment Sebastian gave her but she played along perfectly well and I kind of felt more fulfilled on remembering what I did to Sebastian, and as if on cue my phone rang and I knew it was my mom calling due to the ringtone.

I dismissed the call, navigated to my phone settings and changed the profile from General to Silent before keeping my phone back in my pocket.

"Make sure Sebastian doesn't set foot on this mansion again," I instructed them, they are in charge of scrutinizing who comes into the mansion, "Yes sir," came the reply.

"Do not allow the guard that left to come back to this mansion cause he's fired," and as expected they were shocked with what I said but I guess it's due to them not having access to the CCTV cameras inside the mansion, only those outside but nevertheless they still complied to my instructions.

"Get someone to come take care of the mess in the sitting room," I instructed before leaving their quarter. I also called Jefferson to follow me to sitting room.

CASSANDRA'S POINT OF VIEW

When Damian left me that's when I really got to realize that I was surrounded by handsome men that could probably make a normal girl to drool, if not for the fact that I hate gangbang I'm sure I'll be horny thinking of that right now.

"Jefferson, you'll be giving her a ride to her apartment and to the mall and you'll be escorted by two other cars that would assist in bringing her belongings here. She'll be working as my new personal bodyguard."

I jerked back to reality and faced the direction the voice came from and yep! It's Damian and another handsome devil but some how, just some how, Damian manages to beat the men in the mansion in terms of sexiness and I'd say he has a tie with most of them in terms of being handsome.

"I'm Jefferson," the man besides Damian introduced himself with a small smile while I replied by saying my name, "Cassandra." "Alright Jefferson do as instructed and come back before it gets dark," Damian said.

"Alright sir," Jefferson replied then faced me and said, "Do come with me please." I just nodded and followed him.

DAMIAN'S POINT OF VIEW

"How could you! Tell me how could you do that to your father," "He is not my father! Never say that again," I replied in a calm but threatening tone before dismissing the call even when I knew she wanted to say something.

That was me and my mom exchanging words all because of that bastard stepfather of mine, Sebastian. I really don't know what mom sees in that man. He pretends to be a saint when he's with her but call her defaming names when she's not around, bastard! I navigated to the settings of my phone and switch the profile from Silent to General

CASSANDRA'S POINT OF VIEW

"Hahaha," I was crying due to too much laughter, all thanks to Jefferson, he has proven to be a comedian. "Due to the scream I heard, I knew immediately that it was sugar I added to the rice instead of salt," he said.

"Why didn't you just taste it to know the difference?" I asked. "Well, earlier before the sugar and salt incident. My tongue kind of got numb because I hurriedly drank hot tea that was meant for my dad," he said while smiling probably remembering the memory of his childhood.

"I can see you were quite a naughty child but you never said anything about your mom," I said and watched instantly as his mood turned sour, and a pained expression appeared on his face although he tries not to show it, then after awhile he said painfully.

"Hmm...Well...You see my mom actually eloped with a man she dimmed to be more worthy for her than my father, that happened when I was seven years old, I hid at the back of the door while listening to dad pleading with mom to give him a little time to prove himself to her while mom just tongue lashed my dad.

Even when dad begged her not to leave because of me she said, "You and that bad luck you call a son should go to hell," it was sad to hear my mom say that about me.

She left the next day and I've never seen her again, as for dad, he fell sick when mom left. He was bedridden for about a month or two before regaining himself, since then it has been me and him against the world." Jefferson finished and my once happy and cheerful face became sad instantly, just when I thought my life is messed up.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ask you that question," I said regretfully while he just looked at me and smiled a little.

"It's okay. What about you? Tell me about yourself," he said to me which caught me by surprise but I didn't let my surprise show. Luckily just at that moment we arrived at the mansion while I secretly thanked my stars.

I came out of the car. "Maybe later," I told Jefferson before going inside the mansion and I saw the handsome devil, Damian supervising the renovation of the once wrecked sitting room.

"Hey," I said and he replied saying the same thing and I think that kind of surprised those renovating the sitting room cause the stopped working for some time, yeah, Damian hates talking to women except he has the motive of wanting to fuck them, at least that's one of the "nice" evaluation the public has about him.

"Do I pay you to listen to my conversations or to work," Damian yelled at them which seemed to do the trick as they started working right away. "You has just been set up, so follow me," he said to me while I followed although I noticed the bewildered faces of the men who were renovating the sitting room and I really don't blame them.

Damian really really dislike females and on different occasions humiliated those who tried to get too close for comfort. They are two occasions that stood out though, that was when Damian took a cake and used it to decorate the face of one of the bridesmaids at a marriage he attended.

There was also a time when a girl posted a video of her confessing that Damian loves her but decided to keep their relationship a secret and to this Damian replied in the comment section of the video, "At first when I saw this video I didn't even recognize you but when I forced myself to remember all I saw is the whore I fucked whose pussy was too big." That reply got viral within just a few hours.

The video was deleted, of course by the girl but some people actually got a hold of a copy of the video and the girl became popular overnight, but in a nasty way. So till date, it became a well known fact that girls who wanted a stable and serious relationship avoided Damian while those who want sex, pleasure and money looked for him.

"So, starting from tomorrow you'll be working for me as my personal bodyguard and you'll probably have to get accustomed with places I usually visit but before that let's finalize your contract with me as my bodyguard," he said as he handed me a document containing our work agreement.

I read through it for about 20 minutes even though it was short and straightforward, and I eventually signed it, my salary is huge but what do I expect from a billionaire.

After signing the document, I gave it to him and he signalled me to follow him again, that's when I actually looked at my surroundings and was surprised to I'm in a beautiful garden and I don't even remember how I got here, I should pay attention to my surroundings a little bit more, I've not started my duty yet and I'm already being unfocused!

I followed him and he took me to a room, "This is your room from now on," he said and I'm happy I actually memorize the way to my room but sad I didn't do the same to the garden. "Goodnight," he said while leaving and I was shocked, I turned to look at his retreating figure while mumbling a respond, "Goodnight."

I went into the room and almost immediately my phone started ringing and from the ringtone I knew it was boss, I hastily answered the call, "Boss," I said respectfully. "How was it?" He asked.

"It went well boss, I'm his new personal bodyguard now." I replied while he said sternly, "Good but never get too comfortable and remember your mission." "Yes boss, I'll always remember my mission." I said with anger when I remember what Rufus, Damian's father, did to my parents. Oh well, since he's dead his son will pay for his sin.

CASSANDRA'S POINT OF VIEW

I woke up filling fulfilled, I mean this bed is just too soft and comfortable, I didn't even feel like waking up but oh well, today is the first day I'll be working as Damian's personal bodyguard so I just got to show a good working attitude on my first day of work although I doubt that I need to impress anyone since I've proven myself by passing all of Damian's test but as the saying goes, "Better safe than sorry."

I got off from the bed, which was so hard cause this bed is just too comfy, I wonder how soft Damian's own bed would be. Thinking of Damian's bedroom awoke a strange feeling to explore this paradise of a mansion and I do hope that Damian or anyone else capable of stopping me isn't awake yet.

Quickly, I showered or rather almost slept in the shower, don't blame me, everything in my room felt just too perfect to be true, I left the bathroom and opened the wardrobe and was surprised how everything was arranged perfectly even without me doing anything.

This place has an heavenly feeling attached to it, I swear it! Anyway I wore my clothes giving it a professional touch and then off I went hoping silently that Damian isn't awake so I can explore the mansion but curse my luck, I didn't see Damian but I saw the guards. I thought they don't stay in the mansion except those in charge of the CCTV cameras outside the mansion? I asked myself silently or did Jefferson lie to me? No of course not.

"Hey! You, what are you doing here at this early hours of the morning?" A guard asked me. "Oh... Well I got lost looking for Damian's room since I'm his new personal bodyguard and today is my first day of work I would like to get accustomed to my work environment starting with where my boss usually stays just in case of emergency," I stated.

"I must say you are really smart but isn't it a little bit too early for that? It's not even up to six in the morning," he asked suspiciously while I replied sternly, "Will you show me his room or get out of my sight, isn't it also too early for you to be here? I thought guards don't stay in the mansion except his personal bodyguard and the last time I checked that's me." Oh well, I guess if you can't win then do what you can to make your loss seem like a win.

"I see you're fierce, anyway guards resume their duty as early as four in the morning and follow me I'll show you his room," he said and walked pass me while I followed. My eyes caught sight of the once damaged sitting room and I was shocked how quickly it got renovated. It now looks like a wonderful work of art.

"When anything gets destroyed in this mansion it usually gets replaced, most times replaced with a better version," the guard said answering my unspoken question. "That's nice but this fast?" I asked not hiding the fact that I am surprised at the renovation that happened at a short period of time while hiding the fact that it sounded quite weird the way he talked about wreckages happening in the mansion as if it was a normal occurrence.

He just chuckled as he replied, "What do you expect from a billionaire like Damian?" Yep! I forgot that Mr grumpy is a billionaire. The guard suddenly busted out laughing, "Mr grumpy?" He asked.

"Oops, did I say that out loud?" I asked innocently while smirking. "Well I'm Ace by the way and follow that stairs over there, the last room is the room Damian stays in," the guard who I now know as Ace said.

"Cassandra," I said while smiling, "That's my name, thanks for helping me locate Mr grumpy's room," I said while he just chuckled. I followed the direction Ace gave me and found my way to his room, I knocked but got no response. This happened thrice before I tried opening the door but I was surprised to see that it needed a password.

I tried all I could think of, his date of birth, his mother's name even his stepfather's name, Sebastian which obviously didn't work. Wait a minute, why don't I try Rufus, that's the name of Damian's biological father who is dead and Yep! The door opened up, seems someone loves his dad.

When the door opened a little the first thing I heard was loud music, like really really really loud music, I had to shut the door back out of shock then open it again with the password and I went in and shut the door, that's when I figured that maybe his room is sound proof, no sound from inside the room comes out but sound from outside can be heard inside.

The music was too loud and I had to cover my ears, I looked at his bed and saw an headphone probably that will do, I placed it on my ears and it concealed the sound a little while I try to look for the speaker that's making all this noise called music!

That's when I had a chance to look around his room and damn who on earth puts a fucking swimming pool in his room, I thought my room was big but this room is like bigger than mine times five. I then remembered that I was trying to imaging how comfortable Damian's bed would be earlier on and so with all thought of Damian catching me wiped off from my head, I jumped on his bed and HALLELUJAH!

I can't just describe it, my hand mistakenly pressed a button on the bed and the bed started vibrating and I was already dozing off. This is just too good.

"Enjoying yourself?" In a way, i heard that voice that I started hearing yesterday even though it was loud inside the room, I jerked off from the bed, my eyes searching for him and I found him.

"Holy hotness!" My mind screamed and I couldn't help but agree with my mind this time around. Indeed what I'm looking at is worthy of making me drool, wouldn't mind doing some crazy this with him. Damn you for being so hot!

DAMIAN'S POINT OF VIEW

I just came out of the bathroom after I took my bath and the sight I saw was crazy, Cassandra was almost dozing off on my bed and the way her body vibrated with my bed kind of brought some sexual thought in my head, I just had to do something before I jump on top of her and do a whole lot of crazy stuff.

"Enjoying yourself?" Those words that left my mouth were powerful enough to make her jerk off from the bed and that caused her breast to shake earning attention from my dick even though I didn't permit it to react but it just got a mind of its own.

I studied Cassandra for a while and saw the look on her face, she looked like a sex starve woman, I wanted to laugh at that thought cause I'm happy I was able to bring a reaction like this from her and to tease her a little bit, I walked pass her and turned off the music while she removed my headphone from her ears.

The purpose of this was for her to notice my hardness and of course that's exactly what she did cause I saw her swallow her saliva while I just smirk although there is a question bothering me to ask and I asked, "How did you know my password?" "I...I...I... You see... Well..." Okay that did it, I laughed. I can't believe this fearless girl of yesterday is a shy kitten all of a sudden.

My laughter kind of added to her predicament as she blushed hard probably due to embarrassment then she told me how she came in. "How do you know so much about me?" I asked, she looked at me as if I've grown another head and said, "Why on earth won't I know about the person I want to work for as a personal bodyguard?" I just kept quiet and after a few moment of awkward silence I realized I'm still putting on nothing but my towel.

I got an idea and smirked before saying, "I'm about to get dressed, you want to leave or probably just watch?" She looked at me embarrassed and I'm sure she was about to say something but her eyes caught the smirk on my lips then she just paused looking at my lips. In an instant I pulled her close to me and whispered in her ears sensually, "Why are you looking at my lips like that? You want to taste?"

She gasp and shivered a little and boy I'm I glad that I'm having this kind of effect on her, at least I can be sure I didn't loose my charm. She was still close to me and was probably lost so she didn't feel when my hands started to roam over her body or so I thought as she jerked up immediately and I felt at that moment that she wanted to push me away but she controlled herself while stammering, "I'll... I'll just wait downstairs for you," and she left.

I smirked while watching her retreating figure. Oh well, it's time to get ready for work. If there's one thing I'm very proud of is the fact that I'm quite time conscience, so I guess I just got to get ready extra fast I wasted enough time already. Although, I don't really consider the event of few moments ago a waste of time, and to think it's just the second day of knowing her or is it? For some reason, seeing Cassandra so close, she kind of seem familiar but where have I seen her before?
