Cassandra’s POV

Sinclair was a busy person. I thought there was no way he would agree to stay but he just had to make my already unpleasant day worse.

"My schedule is free today, so it wouldn't hurt to join you." He chimed and it felt like the walls just crumbled

The moment he made that declaration, it took everything in me not to stumble. To the others, Sinclair was staring at Theodore, but it felt more like he was staring at me.

Why did he want to stay? The thou

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   123 - mission accomplished

    Cassandra’s POV I gave him a smile, then quickly left the table after accomplishing my mission. I didn't want to see the expression on their faces. Something was off, and I couldn't tell exactly what, but the moment I got to my seat, it was like a little celebration. No one could actually believe this was happening, and Chris just looked dumbfounded and secretly elated. They heard the conversation from the recorder so there wasn't a need to explain. I just played it for them and Chris literally got on her feet holding my hand "Thank you Cassie. I knew you could do it..." Chris cried with actual tears in her eyes while Sally cheered. Blaire remained silent her thoughts were unreadable from her face She only casually commented. "I didn't know you had it in you," Blaire commented while Chris held my hand. The moment Chris finally let go of me, the table exploded.Sally whooped as we had just won the lottery to hug Cassandra. Cheers erupted. If not for the way

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   122 - Wingman 2

    Cassandra’s POV Halfway to his table I froze my hand curled around the recorder. Vera? What was she doing here? I also lost at the question like I forgot who she was to him?Vera.The name slid down my spine like cold water. The second I truly saw her, I hadn't seen her earlier, maybe because I wasn't expecting her to be there. Her long dark hair fell over one shoulder with a soft, melodic laugh getting more audible now that I was closer. My face scrunched up. What were they joking about? I didn't know why but my eyes twitched at the way she leaned just a little too close as she showed him something on her phone. Giggling sweetly. How annoying. I drew in a deep breath. I wasn't going to be worked up over a man, but my stomach still twisted with a bitter taste in my mouth. It was not jealousy, just… irritation. I convinced myself. Pure, reasonable irritation that Alaric had the nerve to sit there brooding at me from across the room earlier, those icy stares following my

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   121 - wingman

    Cassandra’s POV Things turned out of control too fast. I couldn't logically follow up on what was happening. "Just help me out, I will give you half of my salary," she begged, and I was stunned at how bizarre everything was. They were sending me to the devil's claws without knowing. They wanted me to play wingman to matchmake my husband.My brain froze, and everyone’s eyes lit up, including Blaire’s, while Jason was the only one who didn’t look fully entertained. Chris immediately grabbed my hand as she had just won the lottery.“Cassandra is very pretty, she has pretty privilege! If she goes over and acts as a wing woman, it might actually work!” she said, bouncing in her seat. Chris was kneeling before me, wailing dramatically, while Sally just laughed it off as nothing. My throat tightened so badly I almost coughed. This was completely hilarious. I wonder what face Alaric would make if I dared.“Just help me out,” Chris begged, clasping her hands together drama

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   he is here

    Cassandra’s POV What was he doing here?! My heart almost leapt out of my ribcage once I met those pair of obsidian eyes which looked like they could swallow all the light around them. For a moment, my brain froze, and my breath stuttered. My hands curled around the glass, and they started to sweat profusely. I wanted to look away but I couldn't Across the room, past the soft golden lights and the blurred reflections on the glass, his eyes locked onto mine. Everything else faded.The music downstairs, the chatter around the table, the clinking of glasses, it all dulled into a distant hum as if I had been shoved underwater. All that was left were those dark eyes that looked like an abyss. My lawfully wedded husband was here catching me red-handed drinking when I was pregnant. Alaric Von Duvall.. The realisation knocked into my mind a second before my heart started pounding so hard it hurt.I couldn’t move, couldn’t blink, couldn’t even breathe properly. His gaze was

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   119 - Being Watched

    Cassandra’s POV I felt like I was stuck in a mousetrap waiting for the owner to pick me up. I had to find a way out of this without arousing suspicion. I didn't have to make it obvious. After Sinclair’s announcement, the team was more than excited. I held my smile acting equally excited. I felt a light touch on my shoulder. I froze and slowly glanced up to see Jason's worried gaze. He said in a low caring tone. "You don't have to push yourself.." he said. My eyes went wide. He noticed my discomfort... Theodore was still talking to Sinclair. "Will you be joining us.." Theodore asked politely. "Not exactly..." Sinclair said. I didn't know what that meant but if he wasn't going to be there. It would be doing me a favour. On agreeing on the plans we started to move into the bus. Sinclair was standing by the entrance making some enquiries with Theodore, so I had no choice but to walk past him. His low voice whispered as I brushed past him. "You shouldn

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   118 - Blaire's suspicions 2

    Cassandra’s POV "It would be nice if Cassandra came along, she barely knows the team," she added. My lips pressed together. Why did it feel like this was a trap she laid out for me? My mind immediately went to the hot spring where she had run into Sinclair and me talking. Blaire must have overheard us, and like the little villain she was, she wanted to confirm her suspicions. My fingers curled. I shouldn't be drinking in my condition, but if I outright reject it, it would raise suspicions. The air shifted the moment Blaire said it.“It’s just a few drinks,” she added lightly, tilting her head at me. “It would be good for you to get to know the team better. You’ve been so… distant.”Every pair of eyes slowly turned in my direction. Some even nodded at her words. We had just arrived at the entrance where the bus was waiting. The other groups have already started to join us. Blaire’s gaze sharpened on me. She was watching me keenly, waiting for me to crack. If that wasn't en
