All Chapters of Forced Into a Fake Marriage? But Uncle, Your Best Friend Made It Real: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Sasha glanced at the sparse streetlights outside and said evenly, “You took a wrong turn.”Henry chuckled. “No, I didn’t. This way avoids traffic. You haven’t been back in years, so you wouldn’t know.”“Is that so?”She didn’t say another word.When they reached the end of the road, Henry turned off the engine.He put on an act. “Damn. I think I’m out of gas.”“What are we going to do?” Sasha played along.“No big deal. I’ll have someone bring some over. We’ll just have to wait a bit.”Sasha sat quietly.After pretending to send a message, Henry started getting handsy.“Hot in here? Let me help you with your clothes.”Sasha knocked his hand away. “I’m not feeling well.”“Hm?”“My stomach. It doesn’t feel right.”He grinned, sleazy. “Then let’s move to the back.”Henry got out and opened the rear door.The second he did, Sasha slid into the driver’s seat and twisted the key.“What the hell!” The smile froze on his face. He lunged in, trying to yank the key out.They st

Inside the car, Henry’s voice had already played three times. Chloe’s name came up over and over again.Sasha turned it off and quietly looked at Gabriel’s dark expression.“Uncle, did you hear it?” she asked. “This was all Chloe’s doing. She leaked my diary to Henry on purpose so I’d be humiliated right before SATs. Then she tricked me into going to a hotel, saying she’d help me find my ID, and handed me a drugged drink…”“Sasha, stop for a second.” Gabriel cut her off. “Let’s set aside whether what Henry said is even true. Are you saying that just because Chloe leaked your diary, she’s entirely in the wrong?”“Isn’t she?”“Sasha, you wrote that diary. No matter who exposed it, the person most responsible is still you.”The words lodged in Sasha’s throat.He was used to being in charge, used to delivering final judgments. There was no room in his tone for her to argue.When she didn’t respond, Gabriel assumed he’d hit the core of the issue. His expression softened.Seven year

Before this, the doctor had already told her that Marianne had undergone bypass surgery and couldn’t handle any more stress.So when Marianne asked her to apologize to Henry, Sasha finally understood what had felt off.This was all an act.Marianne was faking it to force her.But if she refused, the fake illness could very easily become real. Her heart really was weak.Sasha looked at the same gentle, kindly grandmother she had first met.And felt nothing.Maybe this was just human nature.When personal interests were involved, good people could turn cruel. And cruel people could turn monstrous.She had swallowed her pride again and again over the years.And now they were using “raising her” as leverage to force her to give up her dignity?It was almost laughable.They wanted her to apologize?Fine.She’d see whether they could handle that apology.She looked at Marianne, her expression unreadable, and gave a small nod.Only then did Marianne finally smile.“Sasha, I k

Henry shivered.Only then did it hit him.Sasha hadn’t been bluffing.She had actually called Sebastian.“Don’t open it—!”He barely got the words out before Sasha rushed to the door and yanked it open.A tall man stood there, backlit by the hallway light.For a split second, he looked almost unreal.Like something untouchable.Sasha froze.It felt like someone who’d been starving for days, hoping for a piece of bread… only to be handed a full banquet.The shock. The relief.It was overwhelming.Seeing her stand there in a daze, Sebastian gently nudged her aside and walked in.Two bodyguards stepped in behind him, taking their positions at the door, silent and unmoving.Sebastian walked over to the bed, hooked a chair toward himself with his foot, and sat down like he owned the place.He picked up a banana from the fruit tray and tapped it lightly against Henry’s face.“Go ahead,” he said lazily. “Ask.”Henry stared at him like he was looking at something monstrous. H

Gabriel frowned. “You’re really going to believe someone like him?”Sasha couldn’t help laughing. “Oh, I know. And yet you still wanted to set me up with him.”Gabriel’s face darkened instantly. “That’s not what I meant. I didn’t know it was him when this was arranged.”Sasha waved him off. She had no interest in hearing the rest. “What’s done is done. There’s no point talking about it now. Uncle, maybe he is that kind of person, but I still think some of what he says is worth hearing. Whether you believe it is up to you.”This time, Gabriel didn’t argue. He pushed the door open first.But what they saw inside stopped both of them cold.The room reeked.The bed was a mess, soaked and stained, and Henry was already unconscious.Sasha: …He got scared enough to end up like this?Gabriel shook his head, called for a doctor, and stepped back out.Then he turned to Sasha. “Go. I’ll handle this.”Sasha shook her head. “No need. With Uncle Sebastian involved, they won’t dare do an
