CASSANDRA'S POV

My stomach still felt weird after I threw up. The mourning pills Rebecca prescribed weren't working to ease my mourning sickness. I pouted, finding this baby troublesome.

I opened the door and I paused, struck by the cute scene before me.. A soft meow echoed in the hallway. A large cat sat a few steps away, staring at me like it had been waiting. It meowed again and my heart literally melted. The fur was so tempting to touch.

Its fur was long and silky, a pale cream with faint grey shading along its ears and tail. I recognised the breed instantly, a ragdoll. My eyes sparkled with excitement, they were usually calm, floppy, sweet-natured things.

This one had round blue eyes that looked almost glassy, like it carried secrets.

My chest warmed. I have always loved animals, especially kittens. They were simple but proud animals who could easily love you or hate your guts, but ragdolls were the clumsy, cute babies among cats.

“You’re adorable,” I murmur

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   94 - what is good for me

    Cassandra's POV I didn't believe it at first until I saw the email. Alaric really got me a spot at a production house capable of getting me a slot at the international fellowship. It wasn't just any production house, it was Ivory Gate Productions. A very popular production house which handles multiple campaigns and high-end events coverage, including award ceremonies. I was so excited I was practically squealing, working here was going to be way more exciting than the old gallery selling photographs and barely having any practicals Not that I didn't like my new job. This one was novel and exciting. It was like going on a grand new adventure. According to the mail, I was free to start whenever I wanted as Alaric had explained, but if I wanted to start today, I had to report in by 10 am. As soon as I saw the message, I was practically vibrating with excitement. I quickly sent them a reply that I would be reporting today before having my shower and started g

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   93 - Richer Than she thought

    Cassandra's POV I forced a polite smile. We just stared at each other for a while. He probably noticed that I wasn't comfortable with the entire situation. "What if this only makes things worse between us?" I asked with a small voice he understood what I meant and there was no way he hadn't thought of it "It had to be done, sunshine." He said he took a step closer, closing the distance between us. He reached for my shoulders. "Priscilla is a teenager, and they can be particularly stubborn, but with time, she will come around." He explained. I didn't say anything in response, and he continued, "Just give her time. If I hadn't put her down like that, none of the staff would understand your importance in this household." I was taken aback. He had used her as an example for everyone. His message was simple: if Priscilla couldn't stand against me, none of the staff would think of doing anything stupid like taking Priscilla's words over mine. Despite understanding this fact the g

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   92 - He chose her

    Cassandra’s POV“From today, she handles everything, including your allowance and any other thing that requires a guardian’s permission,” Alaric explained, leaving both Priscilla and me taken aback. It was like a bomb being detonated right before us.“What?” we both chorused, unable to believe what he had just said. Clearly, Priscilla did not respect me and could never see herself being in such a position. And honestly, I did not want anything to do with his bratty ward. Ninety percent of my problems here were caused by Priscilla and that damn cat.I stared at Alaric, dumbfounded. I did not expect him to pull such a move.My mouth opened, but no sound came out. I stared at Alaric like he had just flipped the board in a game I did not even know I was playing. Guardian permission? Allowance? Since when was I suddenly promoted to whatever this was?Before I could gather my thoughts or protest, Priscilla beat me to it.“That’s ridiculous,” she snapped, her voice sharp, and she visibly tre

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   91 - Official Introduction

    Cassandra's POV Alaric was once again focused on his work. The main light was switched off, with just the bed lamp by his side left on. I sighed, then walked towards the bed. My curious gaze remained on him. I didn't know why it bothered me. I really couldn't stop thinking about this first love of his. What was she truly like? The question lingered in the back of my head. Alaric's gaze shifted to me, a small frown knitting between his brows. "If you keep on staring at me that way, I will assume you have no plans of sleeping, Sunshine." That nickname once again. I was starting to get used to it. He had no intention of stopping. My face went pale. I quickly shook my head and shuffled under the covers, ready to go to sleep. "No, I'm tired," I muttered, forcing my eyes closed, snuggling under the covers. He clicked his tongue at me. "Then go to bed," he muttered before the clicking sounds continued. I relaxed a bit, stealing a glance at him from under the covers. Since we wer

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   90 - a love that could change fate

    Cassandra's POV I blinked at him like he’d grown a second head. Why was he being nice, especially after what happened earlier? "You want to…" I blurted, unable to believe my ears. He sighed. As if that wasn't enough, “You’ll… dry it?” I muttered, staring straight into his dark eyes, then asked, “Why?” Alaric didn't answer and shot me a glare instead. I didn't say anything wrong, did I? He was already moving, like I hadn’t just asked the dumbest question of my life. "I really hate repeating myself," he grumbled, then pulled out the chair in front of the dressing mirror. His gaze snapped at me as if asking why the hell I wasn't moving. He couldn't blame me. He wasn't a nice guy, plainly speaking. He was creative with punishments, and who knows if this was one of his creative punishments. I stayed rooted to the spot, arms crossed over my chest. I wasn't moving a single foot from here. “Don’t you have work, Mr ‘I am so busy I might not have another chance for you to threate

  • Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle   89 - Act like you are pregnant

    Cassandra’s POVI had to find a way to get immune to his extremely direct flirtation. It would not have been bad if he flirted like a regular person, but when it came to Alaric, everything was so twisted.I scoffed at myself, trying my best not to choke on a laugh. What did I expect from a man who willingly got married to a drunk lady who threatened him with suicide?He was enjoying this in some sick way. The more I got to know him, the clearer his so called great qualities became. He was controlling, calculative, unpredictable, psychotic, and a bit unhinged.Who the hell let someone hold their…?My face went red, unable to complete the sentence.Of course he was that crazy. He did jump after me without batting an eye. Even though he might have calculated everything, the jump, without a doubt, was still very dangerous, but he still took the risk.I should be grateful he saved me without hesitation, but everything left me unsettled. Why did he go that far for a woman he clearly did not
