Lahat ng Kabanata ng Betrayed By My Ex: I Married His Uncle: Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Alaric’s POV It felt like the heavens wanted to collapse. I had never seen such a heavy downpour in ages. The rain hit the car like a relentless drum, each drop echoing with chaos in my head. The city blurred past in streaks of light and shadow as we sped through the empty roads. I held Cassandra tightly against me in the back seat, her body was limp, her head resting against my chest.Her breathing was too slow. Each slow breath she struggled to take was like a hand squeezing my chest.“Drive faster,” I snapped at the driver. The car was moving too slowly. Time wasn't on our hands.“I already am, sir,” the driver replied, his hands tightening on the wheel..It was not enough.I had called Vera the moment I realised what she had taken. Her voice had been calm, almost detached in a way that made everything worse.“The drugs dissolve quickly,” she had said. “Inducing vomiting will not work. If she took enough, you need to get her to a hospital immediately. Do not waste time.

Alaric’s POV It felt like a cruel joke, Cassandra was really dead. My obsession pushed her to the brink. I keep on replaying that night over and over again in my head. The accusations, yes I stalked her, yes I took her away to get the company, yes I always knew the baby was Sinclair but how was I going to explain it was all for her good.. My reason wouldn't have made sense. I did it so you wouldn't die but in the end, you died. How was I going to say that to her? No explanation matters again. The dead can't listen anymore.. It was raining heavily, just like the night she jumped off the bridge. I sat in front of the congregation, everything blurred around me as I stared at the casket watching people pay their respect one after the other... Somewhere behind me someone was sobbing I couldn’t bother to check who. I just stared at that casket. I could not bring myself to see the body lying peacefully in it. She was wearing a lovely white dress, eyes closed surr

Alaric’s heart ached. Seeing that Cassandra clung to her perfect reality there was no way an outsider like him could bring up his suspicions. He didn't have any evidence to back it either. Unfortunately, Alaric couldn't stay long; he had to return abroad to his life. In the blink of an eye, a year had passed and the next time he saw Cassandra again was at her daughter's birthday banquet. The baby girl was named Sienna Von Duvall. The event was very grand, exactly what was expected for the heiress of the Von Duvall dynasty. The banquet door opened and the family of 3 came in. Cassandra, Sinclair and the little princess. At one glance it was obvious Sienna was Cassandra’s daughter They shared an uncanny resemblance aside from dark brown hair Sienna had and her obviously light brow eyes. Sinclair’s present had changed too, he wasn't the Sinclair, Alaric knew again. Sinclair was capable and immediately he daughter was born the agreement Alaric and Sinclair sig

. "It's not my bloody fault..where were you, Sinclair?" She screamed at the top of her lungs, unable to endure the injustice. Cassandra’s chest rose unevenly as she struggled to steady her breathing, her fingers gripping the sheets so tightly her knuckles turned pale. She had just woken up and couldn't believe her ears. Her head was still heavy, her body weak, her heart barely holding itself together after hearing about Sienna’s condition. She had not even been given time to process it before he walked in and tore everything open again. Sinclair didn't reply to her and went straight to talking down to her.“You were supposed to be watching her,” Sinclair continued, barely holding back his fury, “What exactly is your role in this house if you cannot even do that?”The words struck where it hurts. Cassandra let out a shaky breath, her lips trembling. “I just lost our unborn child,” she said, keeping her voice low but breaking at the edges. “Sienna almost died… and this i

Alaric didn't see Cassandra for months. He was awfully busy and tried to keep in contact with Cassandra but every time he called she always gave the same answer. She was fine but Cassandra was far from fine. Over time she contacted Alaric less and less but he still kept an eye on her. Turns out that an old friend of Cassandra's, Rhys had a major fight with Sinclair over Cassandra, which led to a major issue. Sinclair accused Cassandra of having an affair with Rhys because Cassandra and Rhys had been talking recently. Rhys had an idea of Cassandra’s situation and tried to get her divorce but she refused because of her daughter. That's what led to the confrontation between Rhys and Sinclair. The outcome to protect her marriage Cassandra being the love-sick fool cut off ties with Rhys and reduced contact with Sinclair. Alaric just couldn't understand why she loved him so much. Sinclair got busier with time and barely showed up at their home. When he was at home he a
