All Chapters of A Secret Affair With My Best Friend's Uncle : Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

Cassandra’s POVI noticed Tyson enter the room, and I pretended to be asleep because I didn’t know where to even start explaining myself. Mira had taught me that little trick, though I wasn’t sure if it would actually work, but the man only sat beside the bed, gently caressing my face.“If we could go back in time, I would’ve chosen not to bump into you in the hotel lobby that night,” I heard him say after a long while. Then he left the room.My eyes fluttered open immediately.I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. It sounded like Dante regretted meeting me, and that realization hurt me to the bone. Was I the only one still trying to patch this sinking relationship?“What nonsense?” I muttered. “Does he think I’m some lost girl who can’t—”I stopped myself, biting my lip hard in frustration, refusing to dwell on it further.Anger simmered inside me as I turned back to sleep, crossing my heart to never speak a word to that man again until he apologized.*****************I woke up th

Cassandra’s POV “Mhmm…” I groaned in my sleep, a stifling headache setting in. I wanted to stretch, but I found my body rigid, unable to move. My eyes fluttered open immediately. I looked around the unfamiliar, abandoned building, trying to remember how I got there, but I gasped as the memories came crashing in. “I’ve been kidnapped!” I exclaimed in disbelief. I tried to untie myself from the chair, but it was impossible. My wrists were bound tightly. I looked around frantically to see if anyone was nearby, or if this was some sick prank. “Is anyone there? Somebody help me!” I screamed, but only my own voice echoed back at me. Anxiety clawed at my chest, but then I saw my bag lying on the floor. Realizing my phone might be inside, I tried to drag the chair toward it. If I could get my phone and call Dante, he might be able to save me in time. I started dragging the chair, the legs scraping against the floor with a loud creaking noise. Before I could reach my bag, I heard he

Mira's POVI was shocked to see that we were in one of the most dangerous ghettos in the city. Everyone on the streets looked dangerous and intimidating, and I didn't even realize when I subconsciously grabbed onto Tyson's hand. He looked completely unfazed despite the unfamiliar surroundings.“This place is dangerous. Are you sure Cassandra's phone was last seen here?” I blurted, and Tyson affirmed it.I decided to trust his judgment as we asked about Cassandra, wondering if anyone had seen her, but most people in that area were hostile towards us. I had almost given up on the search, believing there was no way Cassandra would have ended up in such a place, until I saw something shocking.“That's Cassandra’s phone,” I mumbled, patting Tyson as I pointed at a group of thugs drinking beside a small kiosk. They looked so dangerous that I didn't dare keep my gaze on them.“Are you sure?” Tyson asked.“Yes. Cassandra and I have identical phone pouches that I customized for her birthday, b

Dante's POVI barged into Margaret's apartment like a raving mad dog, screaming out her name.“Margaret Lancaster, come out right now!”My voice echoed through the living room, but only the maids in the house gathered, and after calming down a bit, one of them told me that Margaret wasn't home. My eyebrow furrowed in confusion, because I was told by her assistant that she was at home.So where could she have gone? Especially on a day like this.“Oh, Margaret, I oath to everything you believe in because...” I roared, ready to leave, but my steps halted when I saw Margaret at the entrance, just coming in from wherever she was.“Dante, you are here!” she shrieked, but my face darkened, seeing her performative act.I had found out that the pregnancy was just a collaborative act to actually fool me, but what hurt me most was that she decided not to spare Cassandra out of her schemes. How dare her plot against Cassandra?“Why are you not saying anything?” she rumbled, but my eyes trailed of

Cassandra’s POVI didn’t know how much time had passed, but it felt like an eternity trapped in this hellhole with these barbaric men hired by Margaret. I couldn’t reason with them at all, and ever since Margaret came earlier, she hadn’t shown up again. I had tried to save myself multiple times, but all my efforts came to no avail.I knew Dante would have noticed my disappearance by now, and he would have started looking for me, but I couldn’t just sit still and wait. That was why I tried to free myself from the chair, using the glass shard I had found on the floor earlier.I kept sawing at the rope with the broken glass, my hands trembling with desperation, but instead of loosening the knot, I kept hurting myself. Sharp pain shot through my fingers, and blood trickled down my skin, making me even more devastated.“Why is this not coming off? I hate my life so much!” I lamented, my eyes brimming with tears. My vision blurred, but I quickly blinked them back. I couldn’t afford to break
