A Secret Affair With My Best Friend's Uncle 193
Cassandra’s POVI had guessed that it would be Dante and his men waiting for me, so I was completely unprepared for the shock that hit me when I saw Sergio, Carson, and Ryan, my four-year-old so standing there, smiling cheekily at me.They came for me.“Oh my goodness, what are you people doing here!” I shrieked, rushing forward to hug them, and the living room instantly erupted into cheers and laughter.“I missed you, mummy,” Ryan beamed when we finally disengaged from the hug, and my eyes welled up with tears at the sight of my little boy looking so healthy and full of life.I had missed him too.We had never been apart for this long ever since I gave birth to him, so a week away from him felt like someone had ripped a part of my soul away. It had nearly driven me insane.“I missed you too, pumpkin. How have you been?” I asked softly.“I’ve been good. Uncle Sergio and Uncle Carson take care of me,” Ryan replied proudly, and I lifted my gaze to the two men, gratitude flooding my ches

Cassandra’s POV“What’s going on?” Becky screamed after me as I ran to my hotel room, ready to pack my belongings and leave the country, because I couldn’t stay here any longer.I had thought it was safe as long as I didn’t bump into Dante anywhere. Who could have thought that even if I avoided him, he would still find a way to sneak up on me?After I escaped from his grip last night at the party, I decided to be extra careful. But Becky invited me out, saying there was an outdoor event happening, and she thought it would be nice if I participated. I wanted to decline, but I had no solid reason to. The offer wasn’t bad at all.But that turned out to be a dangerous decision, because I ran into Dante, and this time, I had nowhere to hide. I was standing across the street, staring directly at him.Our eyes locked. His misty eyes looked hollow… sad… almost broken. But I had no time to care about that. Panic surged through me, and before I could think, I jumped into my car and fled. I knew

Dante’s POVThe next morning came, just like every other night I hadn’t slept a wink the night because if I did it would result into a nightmare, that was my punishment for losing her. I was almost fully dressed for work when I remembered it was the weekend.“Good morning, boss,” I heard my assistant’s voice as he strolled into the living room while I was reading the newspaper.“Morning, Tys—I mean, Julius,” I replied.I noticed the brief flicker of awkwardness in his expression. It had been years since he started working for me, yet I still mistakenly called him Tyson.Julius was a capable man. I hired him after Tyson’s resignation, but I had never truly recovered from Tyson’s disappearance. He had been more than an employee, Tyson was my brother. And just as I was nursing Cassandra’s disappearance, I was nursing his too.“Are you ready?” Julius asked with a polite smile, masking his disappointment at my mistake.“Ready for what?”“The appointment you’re attending on behalf of the ch

Dante’s POV“That old man is really a lot of trouble,” I muttered as I stepped out of the car, straightening my cuffs while walking toward the hotel where the Prime Minister was hosting his ball.I had intended not to honor his invitation, but my old man begged me to attend immediately I got back from one of my business trips. I only agreed because there was nothing waiting for me at home except work.That had been my routine for the past five years. I buried myself in work after Cassandra’s disappearance, merging my company with the family group and driving it to greater heights became the result of that obsession.But despite all of it, I still felt empty.There was a void inside me that I knew only she could fill. That was why I had poured my resources into finding her over the years, but it was as if she had vanished without a trace. I tried tracking Sergio down too, but I found nothing.The only thing that kept me going was the certainty that when the right time came, I would mee

Cassandra's POVMy brain went on a break for a moment, but when I finally grasped my situation, I forced myself out of the shock and prepared to escape.“I'm asking if you are okay, miss.”I heard his voice again, closer this time, and I could feel, without even looking, that he had turned to face me.“No… yes…” I stuttered, attempting to deepen and distort my voice, but I was failing terribly. With his eyes boring into my back, my knees weakened beneath me. I didn’t know if I would survive this encounter.“Are you saying you’re okay or not?” he whispered, lowering his head toward mine.I stiffened as I felt his hot breath fan across the side of my face.He was close… too close. I couldn’t think straight with him this near.I thought I was over him. I truly believed I had broken free from Dante Blackwell’s spell, but it seemed that had been nothing more than a fragile illusion. The man still had a dangerous hold over me.But no matter what I was feeling in that moment, I forced myself

Cassandra's POVIt had been a week since I arrived in the country, and it had been filled with crazy schedules, site visits, and endless meetings. I couldn’t catch a break because I was working against a deadline. Even the team I was working with couldn’t help but whisper that I was a rigid boss.But they wouldn’t blame me if they knew what I was running from.And speaking of that, the previous week had been exhausting because I had to be extremely cautious about where I went in the city. I didn’t want to bump into Dante Blackwell at all. I even went as far as asking Becky, my assistant, to get her hands on his schedule so I could avoid any occasion he ought to be at.“Why are you so interested in Mr. Blackwell? Are you secretly a fan of him?” Those were Becky’s words, and I only brushed them off, not wanting to sound like a desperate woman.But after much pestering from her, I could only agree that Dante Blackwell was like a mentor to me since he was a brilliant businessman, which he
