All Chapters of A Secret Affair With My Best Friend's Uncle : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Cassandra’s POVMargaret’s words got to me so deeply that it took a long while to drag myself out of my reverie. My mind was drowning in the wildest thoughts, spiraling endlessly. Even though I knew Dante was obsessed with Margaret, I still couldn’t help but think that whatever she was planning wouldn’t be in my favor at all.“Are you still sulking about that?” I heard Margaret’s voice say, and it jerked me out of my thoughts. I realized that the men had already set up a whole new background, and Margaret was no longer tied to a chair.I was shocked by the entire preparation. I couldn’t believe Margaret was truly ready to go down this path just because she hated me so much. I hadn’t even done anything to her.“You don’t have to do this. You know I can disappear from your lives if you ask, so please…” I rasped, hoping my words would reach whatever humanity she had left. Hoping she would let me go. But who was I kidding?“That was my intent at first, but guess who didn’t heed my warning

Dante’s POVI ran toward the building, my heart slamming violently in my chest, praying that nothing bad would happen. But before I could reach the entrance, a deafening sound ripped through the air.Boom!The explosion came without warning, a violent roar that tore through the building and sent me flying backward as a wall of heat slammed into my face. When I lifted my head, the building was already engulfed in flames.“What just happened?” I whispered under my breath, my heart hammering painfully against my ribcage as I stared at the burning structure.Fear seized me. My mind refused to process what I was seeing as I forced myself back onto my feet, but the frantic screams of my men jolted me back to reality.The building was burning, the very building where Cassandra was allegedly being held. It had exploded right in front of me, moments after I had received a picture of her strapped into a bomb vest.That was a coincidence… right?“Boss, I already called the fire service departmen

Cassandra's POVSilence ensued in the room, and when I saw that Sergio didn’t reply, I decided to take back the offer.“But you don’t have to—” I began, but he cut me off.“Say it again,” he said, raising his phone, and I lifted an eyebrow in confusion.“What’s that for?”“To record your voice and make sure you won’t take it back,” he blurted, and I chuckled despite myself.“So you mean you’ll go with me?”“Definitely. I’m happy you chose me. I won’t let you down,” he rambled, his excitement barely contained, but something about it didn’t sit right with me.I chose him because I was running away, not eloping with him.“I’m not agreeing to go because of—” I started to clarify, but Sergio cut me off by placing his tapered fingers on my lips, silencing me.“Don’t ruin this for me. I don’t care why you’re going. I’m just happy you’re going with me,” he said, standing up with a boyish smile that made him look almost reckless.The man had really lost his mind, hadn’t he?“Okay then… when do

Dante's POV“You are all fired!” I rasped as I looked at the doctors, who had their heads bowed, but Mira quickly ushered them away.My face darkened with anger as I watched them leave. I couldn’t believe they had been so unprofessional as to sedate me without my consent. After Tyson knocked me out yesterday, the doctors suggested sedating me because my body needed a lot of rest, and that led to me sleeping for half the day. But it resulted in a terrible nightmare, one filled with Cassandra begging for my help.Her beautiful smile haunted my dreams so viciously that I couldn’t even rest while sedated. The terror clung to me and forced me awake. I couldn’t keep wasting time here when Cassandra was still out there with those monsters.I would make sure everyone involved in her disappearance paid with their lives.My eyes trailed to Mira and Tyson because they had also contributed to this misery. Maybe I would have found Cassandra already if they hadn’t forced me to sleep.“I know you ar

Dante's POVMargaret's hands clenched tightly as she avoided my gaze, as if she were so sure that I would find her out. What she didn’t know was that I already had all the information I needed. She wasn’t talking her way out of this. I would make sure she regretted ever messing with me, and dragging Cassandra into this mess.“I don't know what this is about, Dante, but did I not say I don't know where Cassandra is?” she breathed, her nose flaring in anger like she was the one offended by all of this.“Are you really playing this game right now?” I roared, punching the air because if I got any closer, I might actually lose it, and hurt her.“I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't kidnap anyone, and I don't want to see you at my place anytime you feel like losing your mind. This is not the place for that.”“Margaret, do you know what? I trusted you. No, I lived for you. To me, there was nothing you could ever do wrong in my eyes. But recently…” I mumbled, my voice breaking as
