Semua Bab Accidentally Married To The Right Von Duvall : Bab 81 - Bab 89

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 finished going over t

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“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.

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

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
