The Betrayed Billionaire
It's hard to tell who has your back, from who has it long enough just to stab you in it....
"Why are you making it so difficult?" I screeched on top of my lungs. God, why does he have to make everything so difficult?
"I'm your boss and you're responsible to follow my orders. You have no authority to defy me." He snarled, his hands balled into fists.
"Are you even listening to your baseless blabbering?"
"Shut the up!" He roared with pure antagonism and fisted his hand on the glass painting that hung by the wall. I gasped at the sight of glasses shattered into tiny pieces, droplets of blood oozing down his knuckles. His jaw was clenched as he shot daggers to my eyes, not because of the pain that was inflicted from the quick punch, but the remembrance of my betrayal.

Chapter: Becoming OneNever Again 🌷 “I fell in love with his soul, before I could even touch his skin.” ~•~ •E V E L Y N• -TWO YEARS LATER- It had been two years after that horrified day, two years for Marcus' wedding, two years being mother to three amazing kids, two years since Xavier started acting like him and me as hus, to win my trust back. And in these two years, he never touched me without my permission. I still get scared remembering the day when I thought I lost my kid, my son, my happiness, Alexander. Yes, Savannah did pull the trigger, but Xavier pushed the gun away from Alex and he missed it by an inch, or else… Breathing out, I suddenly remembered the day when Alex asked me if I could be his mother too, if he could call me Mom too. That day was the best day of my life, we both had tears in our eyes. Of course, I wanted him to call me Mom, but when he wanted to. His face held so much emotion, and Xavier actually shed some tears when he heard Alex calling me Mom, he was finally reli

Chapter: Did Alex die?Never Again 🌷 Xavier and Mason immediately contacted their detective and the Hawaii police. Evelyn texted the cottage's address to Xavier, according to which they reached the cottage. The detective had asked for a backup which was secretly following them at a distance of a kilometre. Xavier was about to break the door using his foot, when Mason grabbed his arm and pulled him behind, "Don't be a fool Xavier, they can't know our arrival." Nodding his head, they both let the detective and Hawaii police enter the abandoned cottage. There were numerous narrow passages and it was really hard to know where they kept Alexander and Evelyn, until, "Stay away from my son!" Yelled Evelyn. Following the voice, the police increased their pace as they made their presence known to the criminals, warning: "FREEZE! THIS IS HAWAII POLICE." Savannah's eyes widened as she exclaimed in disbelief whilst looking at Evelyn, "You played us!" "You are a criminal." Spat Chris. "I'm not gonna let you

Chapter: RevelationNever Again 🌷 E V E L Y N• I was being dragged, again. The bulky man held my forearm really tight and continued tracking me out of the cell and through the narrow passage I was pretty sure my blood circulation had stopped by now. "Rose!" Alex screamed when a man slapped him hard on the face. It made my blood at another level. "Leave him the fuck alone out of this!" I yelled to the top of my voice as I pushed my nails in the wrist of my captor. The man dragging me, pushed open the metal door before we entered. He shoved me, not so gently on a wooden chair and tied my arms and legs, they did the same with Alex and he was crying uncontrollably. It made my heart break again and again. Screaming in my head, 'Where the fuck are you Blake?!' Trying to wriggle out of the ropes. I tried hard but all the energy was drained from my body. I didn't have the energy to lift my finger, I just threw my head back and closed my eyes tightly. Looking sideways, "Alex," I called him as he looke

Chapter: Did Evelyn got her memories back?Never Again 🌷 •EVELYN / ROSE• That was probably the longest drive of my life, in these twenty-four hours my life had turned upside down. First my kids got hospitalized and my daughter's condition was critical when a guy with eyes familiar to my kids, declared his claim on my kids. He thought I was a fool or he was mistaken that I was weak. I could be anything but that, in these five years I've learned to cope with my unknown past, I know how to connect dots. And after connecting everything that happened in these past few weeks after Mr. Knight entered my life, it led to a conclusion. Xavier Knight is indeed related to my past, but to what extent, I didn't know until tonight. How could I be so foolish to not acknowledge the feelings, his look, that unknown connection to his son and the familiarity between my kids and him. I knew, I was afraid to voice out the truth, but somewhere back in my mind, I know who he is to my kids. But, for now I don't know what he is to me. Ther

Chapter: DangerNever Again 🌷 I moved my eyes to see Mason and Marcus, but they weren't there, "They went to fulfill the requirements." Answered Evelyn for me. She walked out of the room as I trailed behind her, once we were in a quiet isolated zone, seeing the rise of the sun. No words were exchanged and it was uncomfortable, I looked at her through my peripheral vision, my brows drawn together slowly as I gazed upon her pretty face. Even with the light scar on her forehead she still looked as beautiful as the day I saw her walking down the aisle. "I'm going to ask you something and please be truthful." She said, turning her body towards me to which I nodded. "Have we met before?" "Yes, we have." I answered absent-mindedly and mentally cussed myself, "At your office." "Before the office I mean." She cleared. "Not that I remember of, why did you ask?" I questioned. Stop it, Xavier. She knows you're lying. "You eyes," looking into my eyes, her gaze was like she was finding something in my

Chapter: I have a matter to attend!Never Again 🌷 X A V I E R• After the doctor checked my blood pressure, he went to see the status of my daughter. When I declared the relation of being the father to the kids, Evelyn's hard eyes weren't easy to ignore. They had questions, numerous questions in those dark browns. She looked like she was going to explode and burn me alive. Although, she did utter a single word, asking, "Why?" It wasn't just a word, it was the whole train of questions. I knew she wouldn't back down until I answered the question, so to my stupidity, I said, "It wouldn't take much time now considering the donor is her father." I very well knew it was a stupid reason, but I had to give one. Descending down the corridor, I made my way toward the room that the doctor had asked me to come to. I halted in front of OT-07, the room allotted to my daughter, my heart was racing at another level and I did not want to break down here. "I know," someone said beside me that broke the train of my thoughts. Te

Chapter: What I Swore Never to Speak- II“I said… My mother told me Valkyrie would protect me,” I repeated, slower this time. “So when the sun rose, I crawled out of the den. There was nothing left. No bodies... No blood. Just... silence. I thought… maybe Valkyrie was a person. So I went to the nearest pack.”My nails dug crescent moons into my wrist, sharp enough to pierce. Pain was better than drowning in memory. Pain meant I was still here.“When I reached Oceana Pack, I asked. I begged. I searched for anyone who could tell me who Valkyrie was. The guards found me, and they didn’t answer. They just dragged me to their dungeon before I could finish the sentence.”Silence clawed at the room. No one dared breathe. Maybe they already knew the punchline. “They whipped me. They whipped an eleven-year-old kid for speaking one word—‘Valkyrie.’”My throat closed. Still, I pushed.“I didn’t even know what it meant. I thought it was my aunt’s name. That was the funny part. I smiled when I said it, like a fool. I thought they’d reco

Chapter: What I Swore Never to Speak- II should’ve lied. I should’ve told him nothing. But when his eyes pinned me like knives, I found myself bleeding memories I swore I’d buried.“Everything?” I repeated, voice scraping my throat like glass.The bastard said it like he owned me. Like my past was some archive he could leaf through, page by page, whenever it suited him.My fingers twitched, desperate to hurl the nearest chair at his perfectly carved face. But I didn’t. Not because I was afraid. Because part of me—traitorous, stupid—wanted him to choke on the truth.I sucked in air, sharp enough to stab. “Fine.”I tore my gaze away, nails digging into the wood beneath my palm. “I grew up with two people. Solene and Andrew. And my grandmother, Jocelyn…” Her name shredded something in my chest. My throat tried to close around it. “She smelled like cloves and smoke. Crooked smile, always crooked, but never cruel. She taught me to fight before she taught me to read. She made me believe I was stronger than I ever was.”The roo

Chapter: The Truth That BurnsKEIRAI shouldn’t feel it. Not from him. Not from the man who stole my freedom and carved his name into my nightmares. But the second he spoke, his voice detonated through me—low, deep, vibrating at the base of my spine like it owned me. I felt it in my throat. In my fingertips. In the delicious pit of me that should’ve been curdling with bile. Instead, it hollowed, a cavern begging to be filled.I hated him more for it.“I believe you’d like to know why I brought you here,” he leaned back in that throne of his like a king who knew kingdoms would burn just to kneel at his boots.“Wow.” My lips curled before my mind caught up. “Thanks for stating the obvious. You kidnapped me, stuck needles in me like some… I don’t know, lab rat? But sure. Let’s pretend I’m dying to know what’s going on in that monster brain of yours.”Behind me, Yelena sighed like she was watching a toddler toss knives.Nikolai didn’t blink. “Then shut your mouth and listen.”And I did.

Chapter: The Wolf That Shouldn’t ExistNIKOLAIWe did it again. And again. And AGAIN.By the time dawn dragged its pink light across the frost-laced sky, my body was ruined. Unmarked, bruises gone, skin whole, but the ghost of his mouth lingered everywhere.The bed was shredded, sheets clinging with sweat, blood, and everything else we spent through the night. My thighs stuck together, tacky with the mess of us.He didn’t take lightly. He never did.I was still hard, still thrumming with the kind of hunger that didn’t burn out, not even after hours of drowning in it. His seed still hot inside me, his taste still on my tongue, but it wasn’t enough. With him, it never was.He cleaned me like he always had, with that same quiet devotion that never fit the monster he was.Reverent hands, slow and steady, as if the destruction hadn’t come from him.I lay there, watching him through half-lidded eyes as he wiped the blood from my ribs, traced his lips along my jaw as though he could erase the proof he’d carved there.

Chapter: His Breaking Point- IIBlood tasted like sin.That’s the first thought that hit me as Zaqriel’s fangs sank deep into Nikolai’s throat. It wasn't soft or... or tender.No.He tore into his artery, ruptured it like he had been starved for a long... long time.And the sound that followed... fuck, that was anything but mundane. It was a guttural groan, broken and raw, spilling out of Nikolai like prayer and punishment in one breath.And he didn’t resist.He clutched Zaqriel’s bicep, nails biting into flesh, instantly healing... his chest heaving against Zaqriel's. His body arched, straining closer even as blood welled hot down his collar.Zaqriel shoved him harder against the pillar. His jaw worked savage, his grip fisting Nikolai’s hair like he couldn’t decide whether to tear him closer or tear him apart. His crimson eyes burned, his lips smeared in blood, and still... he drank.Nikolai’s hand wrapped around Zaqriel’s waist, and in one pull, their pelvis slammed together... groans tearing from both of them.My

Chapter: His Breaking Point- IKEIRAThe blade didn’t fall.It stopped.Just... stopped.Right at the curve of Nikolai's throat. Just barely nicking it, just enough to draw blood. A single, jagged line of blood bloomed red, stark against the pale sweep of his neck, like a rose pressed into winter snow. And yet… he didn’t blink.Not a twitch.Not a flinch.Not when the prince's jaw clenched, not when his knuckles turned white from how tight he gripped the hilt. The blade trembled. His hand shook like he was trying to stop it from ending everything.My chest squeezed. My fists clenched so tight my nails bit into my palms. And Nikolai?He just stood there, firelight catching on the edges of his eyes. “What’s the matter? You finally have the chance, and still, you can’t do it? Is that all your grief amounts to? Shaking hands and half-hearted threats?”I stepped closer, my pulse hammering. I could see the blood tracing a thin, crimson line down his throat.And still... no fear.“Do it.
