Semua Bab PREGNANT WITH MY FATHER-IN-LAW’S HEIR: Bab 21 - Bab 27

CHAPTER 22From the car ride to the looming, eerie building, Cassandra knew only silence. A heavy, suffocating silence.The vehicle rolled to a stop with a soft halt, and her heart stuttered. Her eyes were covered with the blindfold, robbing her of sight, but she tried desperately to rely on her other senses. The air outside was still. She could hear nothing but the soft hum of the wind, the distant sounds of crickets, and the croaking of frogs somewhere nearby. It was as though the world itself was tensed. A firm hand wrapped around her arm, guiding her forward. The touch was delicate, and though Cassandra couldn’t see her, she was almost certain it belonged to Matilda. That suspicion was confirmed when Matilda's breath brushed her ear, her voice soft and reassuring.“You’ll be fine,” she whispered.Her words hadn't fulfilled their purpose. Cassandra was still uneasy, her brows knitted with fear.And then, just as suddenly, the touch changed, a colder grip took over. Cassandra was

CHAPTER 24The second attack came faster than Cassandra had expected. Racheal's eyes had gone feral, her pace increasing with each step she took towards Cassandra.

CHAPTER 27 Dante's calm voice cut through their conversation “Cassandra,” he called to her attention, but ended up getting both Viktor's and Aaron's. Cassandra looked at him. He met her eyes and asked “Where do you want to go?” At first, she said nothing. The question forced her to ponder deeply. In her sense, she needed a break from everything; the house, Viktor, the vows she took, the guilt, and most of all…Dante. The only place she could think of was home— the Adler family house. No one can just burst in if they wanted to. Unlike at Kara's place. Her thoughts faltered when she felt Viktor’s hand tighten around hers. Viktor's heart hitched when he felt Cassandra's hand slowly slipping out of his. She looked at him wearily, though it hurt to let go. “I think I’ll just visit home,” she said softly.Viktor’s jaw twitched, but before he could respond, she hurried to add, “I’ll be back by the weekend. I’m not going forever.” She gave him a weak smile. “I’m married to you, remember?
