Cassandra's POV

Damn it....at times I even get marvelled at how dumb I was. I could not believe I actually said all that before him and in the presence of the driver.

As much as I was embarrassed I was also just tired. I stared at Alaric, waiting for an equal outburst or anything. His gaze was cold and he just stared back.

Something flickered across his gaze. I was expecting a taunt or maybe his anger flaring up, but he was still calm. He laughed then sat back at his seat, turning his gaze to the window

His voice slithered out and wrapped around me in a way that gave me chills. "Madness.." he scoffed at the words. His tone was controlled but it still crawled up on me as the fear grew up

"You think this is madness.." he repeated with a silent beat for a moment before my lips parted to reply with a more controlled tone

"Alaric..." I called his name and was cut off by him. "You are right this is indeed madness from the very start...I must have lost my mind." My brows furr

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    87 - Wet seduction

    Cassandra's POV The door creaked open, with the lights from the hallway illuminating the room, falling on the bed. I remembered the contract clause that we were to share the same room and bed, non-negotiable. Basically, the terms said that I was to fulfil the role of being his wife during this period without complaints. My stomach squirmed at the thought. "This isn't that bad," I muttered, then sucked in a deep breath before walking into the room, shutting the door behind me. The lights were turned off, so the entire room was dark. The only lights filling the room were from the security lights streaking into the room from the glass windows and the bathroom. The door was left slightly ajar with lighting spilling into the bedroom. Yet the room was still dark. I roamed around the wall trying to find the light switch. The switch clicked on and the room was lit. I needed to use a shower, since Alaric was using our bathroom, so I planned to use one of the guest rooms

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    86 - Done Deal

    Cassandra's POV“I have one condition,” I forced the words out. Rubbing my butt on the seat to find a more comfortable spot that makes it easier to ignore the heat that lingered between us.The air was tense from an unspoken tension between us. The calmer he looked the more annoying it was for me.He raised a brow. “Do you really think you are in a position to bargain, Sunshine?” I was stunned by his reply for a moment. I almost forgot about the erotic tension between us. He was truly infuriating, and I did my bloody best not to flip. I wondered what my body found attractive in a man this annoying. His only good physical point was his body. I wanted to flip the damn table in the end my impulses won.“Damn right I am,” I snapped, leaning in so he could see I wasn’t backing down. “You want your kid to have some fake stable mommy for a year? You want the whole world drooling over our perfect little family photos? Then yeah, I’m bargaining, you controlling prick. It only works if

    Cassandra's POV“Then you will have to be Mrs Von Duvall for a very long time, Sunshine.” He chimed with a soft smile after having me cornered. The words rang in my ears. He was not going to let me go this easily.I stared at the title again, the words blurring for a second before they started to sink in.POST-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN PARTY A AND PARTY B.I wondered if this was the same terms as the prenuptial agreement Priscilla found. It meant one thing. I did not sign the prenuptial agreement. That gave me a sense of relief. At least I was now fully aware of what I was getting into.My fingers tightened around the edges until the paper crinkled. Alaric sat across from me. His legs were crossed, fingers lazily twirling the drink in his hand. He was watching me like this was just another Tuesday negotiation. His eyes remained calculative and calm the entire time.I gritted my teeth. “Why are you so stubborn about keeping me in this marriage? You do not have to keep a contract wife.

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    84 - Post Nuptial AGREEMENT

    Cassandra's POVAlaric had his assistant, Nathan, come down to the hospital to handle all the discharge information. The process was fast, and soon we were out of the hospital.By the time we walked into the car to leave the hospital, it was already close to midnight. “I am sorry the procedure took longer than necessary, sir,” Nathan apologised when we were both seated in the back seat. I felt bad for Nathan. He was working overtime because of me.Alaric seemed like the kind of boss who drained the life force from staff.“It is fine,” Alaric muttered, then his gaze drifted towards me. I was currently having a battle with the seat belt. He let out a scoff and then leaned towards me.His breath fanned my face as he broke into my personal space. I held my breath, staring at him. “You are doing it wrong,” he muttered, then pulled the seat belt from my hand. His cologne wafted around me.He always smells so good and tempting. I had the urge to bury my nose in his neck and just drink in his

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    83 - His Condition

    Cassandra's POV Everything happened in a blur the moment panic hit. I never knew I was this tied to the baby, but the moment I saw the blood dripping down my legs, real fear struck. After running on adrenaline for over an hour I found myself lying face up on a hospital bed in the middle of the night. The hospital room was silent aside from the sound of the air conditioning unit humming. The air smelled like sterile disinfectant and antiseptic. I always hated the smell of drugs, and if it were left to me, I wouldn’t want to stay in this hospital any longer, but I didn't have a say in this matter. This was my fault. I was the one who pulled up that crazy stunt that led to the haemorrhage. The door was pushed open, followed by a chatter, my gaze immediately shifted to Alaric, who just stepped in with Vera. Their voices faded as soon as they entered the room. Vera's gaze settled on me, "How are you feeling now?" She asked me with a polite smile which wasn

    Cassandra's POV The saying that when death is near, life turns into slow motion was true. At the moment death truly came knocking before me, and my life flashed before me. Everything slowed to a crawl, and I noticed every little detail at that moment. My body stumbled the wrong way and I slippedThe wind screamed past my body, its blades were cold and sharp like knives slicing through my dress. The late crisp autumn air was biting on my skin. It carried the faint smell of dead leaves from the gardens below. My body tumbled with my hair lashing my face, the thin fabric of my nightgown twisting around my legs like it wanted to drag me down faster.I was really falling The balcony shrank above me looking like shrinking square of light against the black sky.Then I saw him. Alaric didn’t hesitate. He vaulted over the rail after me, coat flaring out behind him like dark wings. His face was lit for a split second by the balcony light. At that moment her heart gave a wrong beat
