Cassandra's POV

"I was just wondering out loud if you are fine in the right place because I couldn't get my head wrapped around the fact that you would desperately hold onto another man's child," Alistair said casually

His voice sliced through the air, bringing everything to a staggering halt. It was like he said something that had all been on their minds.

The air in the dining room was so thick I could almost taste it. I held my breath, not sure if I could breathe out loud. My hand secretly fist under the table..

I prayed and hoped for the ground to swallow me. I didn't ask for any of this. Okay yes it was part of my fault for acting like a chicken and getting entangled with Alaric but I have no intentions to be seen like a commodity that had to be tossed between men

I didn't even want this marriage or child, I just wanted to be free. I wanted to slam my hand on the table and point out what Sinclair did, the betrayal, but no matter how tempting that was, I coul

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    80 - The Jump

    Alaric's POV The study hadn’t changed in decades, it was the same way I remembered it. Dark wood panels covered the walls, soaking up most of the light. Tall bookshelves stood packed with old books nobody read anymore. Father’s big desk sat in the middle, scratched and worn from years of use. Two green lamps illuminated the desk, leaving the rest of the room in shadow. Outside was visible through the high windows, the night was black and moonless making the stars very prominent Father's voice rang in the room. He kept talking about his new initiative, and some random office matters; I got bored of hearing about it ages ago; reason being he was my father I haven't left. Father was behind the desk, fingers pressed together, watching us. Alistair sat beside me, arms folded, already impatient. I noticed he was doing that annoying tapping gesture he always does when he gets bored. I felt like scoffing. I wasn't the only one bored out of my mind. We’d just finish

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    80 - Suicide Threat

    Cassandra's POV Sinclair’s face went as pale as a sheet of paper, he looked helpless. All the anger and domineering aura around him earlier was gone. The air blew through my hair, giving me goosebumps. One leg was dangling over the air, the other was hooked awkwardly on the stone ledge to keep me from tipping forward. The wind whipped through my thin dress, tugging at the fabric like it wanted to pull me down with it. I glanced around, there was a concrete path with a pool not far away. One wrong move from here and I might fall to my death, and strangely, despite knowing I was playing with death, I wasn't scared as I should. An evil thought at the back of my mind told me to jump and end this madness and maybe just maybe I might. Sinclair stood frozen in the doorway, his face drained of colour, eyes wide in a way I’d never seen before. The predator was gone. In its place was pure panic.“Cassandra…” His voice cracked. He took one careful step forward, hands

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    79 - Don't Test Me

    Cassandra's POV Alaric might be infuriating, but Sinclair was on another level.The words hung in my head like a scream I couldn’t let out. His breath was hot against my face, too close, carrying the faint scent of wine from dinner. His palm was still flat against the wall beside my ear, caging me in. I could feel the heat radiating off him, the barely restrained violence in the way his shoulders tensed.My back pressed harder against the cold plaster, as if I could sink through it and disappear. I just stared at the bastard cussing my luckHis jaw was clenched so hard it could crack. "Are you really not going to say anything?" he asked, leaving dumbfounded. I laughed at him, I just couldn't help it. I have been avoiding an all-out confrontation all this time, and I never expected him to bring it up himself. My laugh infuriated him of course. He slammed his hand against the wall again and I jolted from fear. "What the hell is so funny?" He asked, leaning in closer, his

  • Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall    78 - Crazy psycho

    Cassandra's POV At one point, I had drifted to sleep thanks to the heavy meal I just had. By the time my eyes opened, it was completely dark. Tonight was a moonless night, and I glanced at the window, fluttering curtains before slowly sitting up on the bed. A sharp groan escaped my lips. My head was silently throbbing and it felt like hell. I tried to massage it for a while, but this was annoying. Why was my body aching? I hissed, irritated, I just had to get the short stick when it comes to annoying pregnancy symptoms. My mood worsened also remembering the fact that pregnancy symptoms were related to the quality of the sperm This was definitely the fault of one of those bastards. I reached out for my phone to check the time. 21:13 The phone screen lit. It was just past 9 pm. God I felt so sore I needed to walk around a while. Remembering Alaric’s warnings, it was better to stay indoors, but my throat suddenly went dry. Maybe I should just go out to

    Cassandra's POV The first meal continued and they chose lighter topics trying to ignore the ticking bomb in the room the entire time I felt his attention on me even when he seemed engrossed in the topic they were sharing Sinclair was the only one who was finding it had to keep expression, his every action was so rigid I could feel the tension rolling off him. Alaric of course noticed this but chose to ignore it By the time we got to the main meal. I was filling my plate while Regina was casually talking about some family event I could not even bother learning about. The meal looked palatable and I was eating for two. After filling my plate with some self-indulgent cravings I was about to dig in when my plate was snatched right before my eyes My head snapped to Alaric, who was talking to Regina. His hostility was pretty mild now that Eleanor and her husband had decided to bury the hatchet. My plate was immediately replaced by another plate that had a si
