Chapter 12:

Don't worry, darling

Playing With Fire


Cara woke up to find no Jason beside her on the bed so she got dressed and went downstairs. She saw Jason sitting at the dining table while a maid brought some coffee for both of them. 

"Hi, babe. Good morning," he said to Cara as he smiled. 

"Good morning," she blankly replied. 

"Everything ok?," Jason asked.

"Actually, I have to go to work tomorrow," Cara replied. 

"Which work?," he asked. 

"The work I already go to!," Cara replied, angrily as he was being an asshole asking her that question when he already knew what she was talking about. 

"Oh, that shithead Yuri's company?," Jason asked. 

"Yeah. And he's not a shithead!," Cara said. 

"Then who is he? Daddy?," Jason asked, raising a brow. 

"What?!," Cara asked, confused. 

"Yeah. Did you have sex with him, too?," Jason asked, angry now. 

"What? No! Who said that I did that with him?!," Cara said, fueled by rage. 

"Guess you didn't, then," Jason said as he smirked. 

"Of course I didn't! Not at all! It was my first time last night. I was a total virgin before that!" Cara explained. 

"Oh. Then, tell me something. Who do you love, Cara?," Jason asked. 

"What?," Cara asked. 

"You love that bastard, right?," Jason asked. 

"What? No! Why would I? I don't even love you! I don't love anybody!," Cara said. 

"That's a lie! Everybody loves somebody!," Jason said. 

"Yeah, everybody might but not me. Love is like playing with fire. I don't love anyone," Cara said.

"Don't trick me, bitch! You won't win," Jason angrily said. 

With that, he got up and left the mansion, ordering the servants to not let her leave the place at all costs and if she tried to do anything weird, they were to tie her up in the dark room on the chair. 


Cara later called Yuri. He wasn't picking up so she got worried. She wanted to go to church to relieve herself of all the stress she had so she changed her clothes and went downstairs only to be stopped by the maid. 

"You can't go anywhere, ma'am," she said. 

"But I just wanna go to church and I don't lie about going to church at all," Cara said. 

"I understand but the boss will tie you up and I don't want that!," she answered, sympathetically. 

"I don't need you to feel sorry for me. If I want to go somewhere, I will!," Cara said to the maid in a rude way. 

With that, she went towards the front door. There were guards outside. 

"Ma'am, please go inside! We don't wanna get violent with you," the tall guard said when he saw Cara. 

"Yes ma'am, please go back! The boss will be very angry. So, please go back inside!" the shorter guard said. 

"He'll be angry only if he found out I went away. Right? You two will help me!," Cara said as she smirked. 

"We can't, ma'am!," the taller guard said with a sorry look. 

"Well, I'm his wife to be and if you don't obey me, I'll get you fired!," Cara said, with a smug grin on her face. 

Cara was taking advantage of her circumstances right now though she didn't really care about being Jason's future wife. 

The guards dropped her off at church where Yuri picked her up and took her to his penthouse, where they were alone. 


Jason wasn't home for the entire evening and came back the next day. He didn't see Cara anywhere so he thought that she was in her room but little did he know that she had everyone from the staff wrapped around her fingers. 

He went to her room only to find out that she wasn't there. He checked all of the rooms and when he didn't find her anywhere, he lost his temper. 

"Cara! Cara! Where are you, bitch?!," he yelled. 

"Sir, she's not home!," a maid answered when she heard him shouting at the top of his lungs. 

"What?! Where did she go?," he asked. 

"I don't know, sir! The guards took her to church yesterday in the afternoon and then she wasn't with them when they came back," she answered. 

"What the fuck?! Guards!," he shouted. 

The guards ran inside. 

"Where is she?!," Jason asked, boiling with anger. 

"Sir, we didn't wanted to take her to church but she said that she was your wife to be and that we should obey her or else she'd get us fired!," the tall guard replied. 

"Did you wait for her outside the church?," Jason asked. 

"We did, sir! But she was gone after the service ended," the short guard answered. 

"Oh, what a bitch! I know where she is! She's with that son of a bitch, Yuri! Get my car ready. We're getting her back!," Jason announced. 


"Hey, Cara. Um, actually, this penthouse only has one bedroom so I'll sleep on the couch and you can sleep on the bed," Yuri said to Cara as it was getting late now. 

"No, it's fine. You should use the bed," Cara said. 

But he didn't wanted to so he slept on the couch and had to force Cara to sleep on the bed. 

Moments later, he walked into the bedroom. 

"Umm, I'm sorry but I wanna talk to you a little more," Yuri said to Cara, who was awake. 

"Oh no, it's ok. Don't be sorry. Make yourself comfortable," she said. 

She moved a little to the side and he climbed onto the bed and lied down next to her. Their faces were away from each other and they were facing opposite sides. 

"What if he comes to get you?," Yuri said. 

"Jason?," Cara asked. 

"Yeah. I do have a gun and I know how to use it but I don't think I'll be of any help," Yuri said, disappointed in himself. 

"I dunno. Guess I'll just go, then. It might be my fate," Cara softly said as she smiled. 

When Cara said that, Yuri turned around and turned Cara's face at him so that she could see him. 

"You'll leave?! Just like that?!," Yuri asked, angry. 

"What do you mean?," Cara asked, confused. 

"I mean, don't you have your own will?! Your dad's a former mafia. Get his help!," Yuri said. 

"He won't help me. He disowned me and I don't wanna talk about this thing right now. Change the topic," Cara sadly said. 

There was an awkward silence in the room. 

Then, Yuri and Cara turned back to their sides. But then Yuri turned back. Cara's back was facing his front now. 

"Wanna come even closer?" Yuri asked, as he blushed. 

He wanted to be close to her. 

Cara turned around as he unbuttoned his shirt and gestured her to move inside. But she hesitated so he gently pulled her towards him. 

"Looks like you'll have to take off your shirt, too. Should I?," Yuri asked. 

She nodded as she blushed so he took it off. She was wearing her bra underneath her shirt. She moved closer and he buttoned his shirt back. Their faces were so close to each other's now. She could feel his breath on her face. And gosh, he was so beautiful to her! So, so beautiful! 

"You're so beautiful, Cara," Yuri whispered. 

The way he said it did things to her. She didn't know what to say. He was so beautiful and was telling her that she was too. She couldn't take it anymore. She had to say it. 

"I love you, Yuri!," Cara said as she blushed her heart out. 

He was startled by the sudden confession. But he smiled. 

"I love you even more, Cara. Will you be my girlfriend?," he softly said, blushing. 

"Unfortunately, no. I mean, I want to but I can't! I was engaged to Jason in my childhood," Cara sadly said. 

"But you love me. Right?! And love always wins in the end," Yuri said. 

"I don't think so, Yuri. My parents were lovers but my dad shot her with his own hands. I'm so worried, Yuri! I don't wanna get married to Jason!," Cara said. 

"Don't worry, darling," Yuri said, as he stroked her back. 


After a while, he got on top of her and put his hand on her bra and down between her legs. 

"No! Don't do it!," Cara said, feeling guilty. 

"I'm sorry," Yuri said as he thought Cara was scared of him. 

He then unbuttoned the shirt, too so she didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. 

"It's not like I don't wanna do it! I did it forcefully the first time but now I wanna do it when I feel like it! You know what I mean, right?," Cara said, trying to explain things. 

"You say you love me but you don't wanna take it one step ahead with me right now?," Yuri asked. 

Cara nodded. 

"I see. It's fine," Yuri said, apologetically. 

He lied down again with his back facing her's. 

They stayed silent for a little while. 

Suddenly, they turned around at the same time. 

"I love you!," Cara exclaimed. 

"I love you, too!," Yuri said. 

Then, they kissed and took it deeper and deeper as the night grew darker and darker, making them dive into each other's body more and more. 



She couldn't believe it! She was a blushing mess because she had sex with him. Meanwhile, he was making breakfast downstairs, deep in his thoughts. 

She went downstairs. He served her a plate of bacon and eggs. She smiled at him and he blushed like an idiot. 


"Hey, Yuri. What about the collaboration?," Cara asked, in the evening. 

"Well, it's done! Tomorrow's the last day. We just need to go visit the place tomorrow," he answered. 

"I can't believe a month went by so fast!," Cara said, sighing. 

"It sure does when you have a lot of things going on in your life," Yuri said. 

She chuckled at the statement. He didn't know why she found it to be so funny but he smiled a little, too. 

"Let's leave this country the day after tomorrow," Yuri said. 

"Really?," Cara asked. 

"Yeah. Let's go away from everything," Yuri said. 

"But your company?," Cara asked. 

"Don't worry, darling. I've got it all under control," Yuri said, smiling. 



The next morning, Yuri turned around on the bed, his hands looking for Cara but they couldn't feel her. She wasn't there. She was gone!
