All Chapters of A Secret Affair With My Best Friend's Uncle : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Margaret's POV“Did he not want to get back together?” I mumbled, as I remembered the conversation I had with Dante earlier.I couldn't believe he would reject the idea of getting engaged again, because the man I knew was obsessed with me, but that slight hesitation was enough to tell me that something was wrong. He wasn’t under my influence anymore.But I needed to get married to him quickly; the only way I could save myself was to have him marry me.“Or have him sleep with me… I need to have him sleep with me,” I mumbled, as my hands subconsciously went to my stomach, and I sighed heavily.If I had known things would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have made the mistake I did that year, and maybe old man Blackwell wouldn’t have forced me out.“This is no time for regrets. I need to regain my control,” I said, as I dialed the number of the man I paid to tail Dante.I needed to be certain he wasn’t meeting that little girl. He had kept off for days, but he might want to derail after th

Dante's POV “Why do you want to be with an old man, kitten?” I mumbled as I patted her head while she slept fully sprawled on the bed, exhausted from the hot, reckless nights we had. I couldn’t sleep all night as I remembered the resolution I made about breaking things off with Cassandra, only to find myself in her bed. It got me thinking about what I was doing. I had thought my flings with her were strictly no-strings-attached, only to realize I had been wrapped in the web of deception I created for myself. I wanted more, and that scared me. I had never been a believer in rules, but I knew it wouldn’t be easy being in a relationship with a girl younger than me, and I wouldn’t be the one to bear it too. People would attack her even more, and I wouldn’t forgive myself if she was subjected to such bullying because of me. But what could I do? I didn’t even want to leave, because I was comfortable with this. I didn’t want whatever I had with her to end. It would be such a shame.

Cassandra’s POV Heartbreak? I think I’ve had enough of it.I mean, having two heartbreaks in the space of three months should be legendary. Or… could this even count as a breakup?I had been happy to receive a text message from Dante after he left in a hurry that morning. But when I saw the content, I froze. It was as if I was stuck in a loop, reading the message again and again, unable to make sense of the words.It had to be a joke.“Compensate me for the time wasted?” I breathed, tears streaming down my face as their salty taste spread across my lips.I couldn’t believe I was actually receiving a breakup message, and through a text message of all things. But I did. Dante Blackwell broke up with me over the phone. I couldn’t process it because after that hot, wild night we had, I had been so sure I had him wrapped around my fingers.How could he change his mind and break up with me just like that?“I won’t say it’s a breakup. I mean… we just fucked and… damn that old man!” I shriek

Cassandra's POVHe dragged me into the hospital hallway and ordered the guards stationed there to leave. I still hadn't gotten over the words he said earlier, so I just stared at him blankly.“What are you up to, Cassandra? Why are you here?” he asked, frustrated, running his hand through his hair, an action I found far too tempting, but I shook the thought out of my head.It wasn’t the time to ogle over such things.“What do you mean? Isn’t this a hospital? Why can’t I be here?” I retorted, and he groaned angrily at that.“Stop teasing me, Cassandra. You know exactly what I’m talking about,” he rambled, and I scoffed.He really had the nerve to get angry after what he did.“Don’t blame me. I couldn’t help but come see you after I got that disturbing text, but it seems you aren’t the one who sent it. So I’m going home, and you can come explain everything to me when you’re done,” I said, ready to leave because I didn’t want to push this man any further.“What part of the text do you no

Dante's POV“Margaret!” I called softly as I tried to pry her hands wrapped around me, but she didn’t budge. She held onto me tightly, as if letting go meant I would run away from her forever.“No… I don’t want to. I want us to stay like this forever. Is that too much to ask?” she whispered, but I convinced her to let me go only after telling her there was an emergency at work I needed to handle.“Are you sure? Don't you dare lie to me, Dante, you know I will always find out if you do,” she said, and it sounded like a warning.Her words rubbed on me badly, but I brushed it off thinking she was just being paranoid after what happened this morning, she must think that I haven't broken it off with Cassandra. But even though Cassandra was out of the picture I didn't think I would stop lying to her, because my feelings had changed without me realising it. “Of course, I won't lie to you.”That was a lie, but it wasn’t like she would know. I knew I didn’t have to lie, yet I couldn’t curb t
