The Price Of Betrayal: A Matter of Revenge
Two marriages. Four lives. One tangled web of betrayal, secrets, and revenge.
Justin and Kyla were once college sweethearts who had nothing but love and ambition. Together, they built everything from the ground up—a business, a home, a life that seemed unbreakable.
Ella and Zach, on the other hand, were forced into a loveless marriage to merge empires and protect family wealth. With money to burn but no affection between them, their union was a gilded cage.
One summer, a chance meeting between Justin and Ella at a luxury hotel ignites a reckless affair. What should have been a fleeting fling spirals into something darker—an obsession neither of them can walk away from.
But when Kyla and Zach cross paths—two wounded hearts bonded by betrayal—their cold business deal begins to spark with unexpected fire. They both want justice. They both want payback. But what if, in the process of destroying the people who broke them, they find something neither expected?
Something dangerously close to love. But could anything happen between these two?

Chapter: Chapter 90Writer’s povKayla and Sally already sorted out their misunderstanding, but Kayla was still a little worried about what she was keeping away from Sally. After hearing how Sally feels about her going into another relationship, she realized it would be better if she kept it to herself and not told Sally anything because it would only affect their relationship as friends.Both of them were having lunch together in the dining room, but Kayla was completely zoned out, which Sally also noticed.“Are you good?” Sally asked Kayla curiously. Kayla nodded her head, confirming that she’s fine. Sally could tell very well that Kayla was not fine even though she claims she is perfectly okay.“I am just a little worried about my gallery right now because it is growing too fast, and it’s making me overwhelmed by how fast it’s moving because I didn’t expect things to work very well for me like they are presently.” Kayla had to look for a story to tell Sally as to why she had been totally out of it, an

Chapter: Chapter 89Kayla’s povI really didn’t know where to start from, with my apologies, because I have not seen Sally this upset in a very long time, which is something I don’t even like to see. She folded her hands angrily while I was walking inside her room. I know that she wants both of us to have this conversation because that’s the only way she would allow me in the first place.“I am very sorry about what happened. I was very busy working all night, and I did not realize my phone was ringing. You know I will never intentionally ignore your calls, especially when there are so many calls and text messages.” I tried explaining bit by bit to her without trying to defend myself because I could clearly see that she was very mad at me, so defending myself right now would not be a good idea. Rather, it would be better to apologize.“I was very scared. I thought something bad must’ve happened to you, and I kept blaming myself because I didn’t do anything last night to find you. I thought maybe if I did

Chapter: Chapter 88Writer's povKayla was so upset seeing Justin in her house. She was fine with every other thing, but him trying to send Zach out of the house is unacceptable because he doesn’t have any right to do such a thing.“First of all, I want to understand what he is doing in my house.” Sally was not interested in that part of the story right now because all she cared about right now was why Kayla was not picking up her calls yesterday, and suddenly she returned looking perfectly okay.“I tried calling you several times yesterday, but you weren’t picking up your calls, nor were you returning any of them. You didn’t even read my message. What happened?”“I can’t say anything right now until he is out of here.”“You just don’t get it! I was literally going crazy a few hours ago, and I had no other option but to call everyone, and here you are not giving me any explanation. Instead you care so much about not wanting someone here, Kayla; everyone is here because they were worried about you.”Sally

Chapter: Chapter 87writer's povLucy finally called Justin, and he decided to involve the police immediately because he was scared that something bad might happen to her. He thought about it several times, and he couldn't think of anyone that Kayla has a misunderstanding with.Even when both of them were married, Kayla was usually a very peaceful person, so there is no one he could point his fingers at to be responsible for what is going on. He just decided to wait and see what the police had to say."I didn't call you because I want you to rekindle any relationship you have with Kayla. The only reason why I decided to inform you is because I want my friend home and safe. I don't want anything bad to happen to her, and you feel like the only one to help in that area. I am telling you this because I don't want you creating silly ideas in your head already.Lucy heard what Sally was saying to Justin; she couldn't blame Sally because she knows what Kayla has been through, and even if Justin didn't betray h

Chapter: Chapter 86writer's povWhen Sally got back to the house, she could not get over the conversation she had with Alicia and the way she spoke to Mr. Kendrick before leaving work. She thought it was kind of rude to him, especially the fact that he is her boss. Even though Sally was trying to prevent a situation where it would look like she was misusing the relationship she has with Mr. Kendrick, she just couldn't be nice today because it was too much for her already.Even though she has a huge crush on Mr. Kendrick, it still hurts. Everyone thinks both of them are in a relationship, and she has to be the one to face the consequences.Kayla was yet to return, which was totally unlike her because she's not the type to return home very late, especially without giving any heads up about how long she is going to spend outside for the day. Sally was a little worried, but at the same time she had other things to be worried about, so she couldn't let Kayla's lateness worry her too much, or else she might j

Chapter: Chapter 85Sally’s povI could not believe my ears when I heard Alicia’s voice. She clearly dropped her resignation letter and said she would never return to the company again, so I really don’t understand why she is here all of a sudden.Both of us stood in front of each other, staring at each other dead in the eyes. I needed to understand her reason for being here. She betrayed me in a way that I never expected her to, so there's no way I’m going to forgive her even if she’s here to beg for my forgiveness.“Are you not pleased to see your work, best friend?”“Our friendship died the moment you chose to treat me the way you did.” I responded immediately. I just could not understand the reason why she came in the first place because both of us clearly don’t have any unfinished business.“You know I kept asking you what I did wrong to you, but you never had any explanation to give me.”“That’s because I have nothing to tell you.”“Alicia! I really don’t get you. Both of us confided in each other

Chapter: Chapter 159Writer's pov“So you actually think that everyday of my life I live a happy and perfect life? Do you know how tough it was trying to please them every single time and my effort was thrown away? Do you even know how sad it is watching the people that you call your biological parents treat a stranger better than the way they treat you? Well then I wasn't smart enough to understand that you were their biological daughter but what I know is that they always treated you better than me. I had to do everything to please them but they never were pleased with whatever I did to make them proud. They always commended even your little efforts but they never commend my hard work because they believe that I wasn't their biological daughter. So what happiness are you talking about? What I always wanted was what you got easily but I didn't try to forcefully take anything away from you, I knew that in the end I can't have it all.” Tears was welling down her eyes as she was talking because she had to

Chapter: Chapter 157Writer's povBefore Shirley made the phone call she was hoping that they are going to listen to her and accept what she says because this is the only alternative she has to help the little way she can, she knows the kind of person sharon is and how pestering sharon can be but she was hoping that this time they try to reason from her own perspective too and see reasons why she cannot give her blood.Amelia was totally against the idea because it's only going to ruin her plan and she was scared that her parents might accept the idea from Shirley.“Okay.” Amelia opened her eyes wider than normal the moment she realized that her mother had already accepted the idea that Shirley brought.Just when she was close to achieving her biggest dream which is killing Shirley it had to end this way, Amelia was so upset that she wanted to get up from the bed and leave but it will only ruin her chances even more, all she has to do right now is think of a way to end this blood topic and find another th

Chapter: Chapter 156Writer's povAmelia was very happy to hear what her mom and dad said. She has been waiting for the moment when both of them will decide to take it by force. Obviously she is not willing to give her blood no matter how much they try to beg.“Mom, dad, I really do not think that is a good idea because you know very well that she is only trying to act stubborn, with time she will finally be able to submit to us and give us whatever it is that we want.” Amelia said to her mom and dad trying to pretend to be a good person, Sharon was not buying what Amelia was saying because she felt time was not on their side and anything can happen. With the way the nurses were looking it seemed like everything had gotten even worse, and she guessed they couldn't see the truth which is why they kept saying it will be better if the doctor speaks to them by himself. “Amelia, as much as I am trying to make peace between myself and Shirley, I am still going to do whatever it takes to make sure that my daugh

She was hoping that blood transfer would be done before the truth comes out, but right now she is making everything hard because both parents already agreed so she's wondering why Shirley hasn't agreed to give her the blood that She wants. Amelia was pacing around the room looking very worried because things weren't going well at all. She was hoping that her father's visit to Shirley's house would make things easier for them. Amelia snapped out of her thoughts and realized that her position is risky and it will be easy for them to find out that she is healthy if they find her pacing around the room. “I'm not going to let her ruin what I worked hard to plan, I'm not going to let her destroy my work. “Amelia said to herself as she sat on the bed thinking about the next plan.She realized it's better to pester her parents even more, because it’s only when she disturbed them ver

Chapter: Chapter 154Shirley povI was shocked to see Jackson back home earlier than planned. When he returned he didn't look exactly happy which was a little worrying to me, I hate seeing Jackson like this, I was wondering why he looked really upset but then again it might be business that is bothering him.“Hey, are you okay?” I asked him the moment he walked into the house. I could tell from the look on his face that there was something wrong but I didn't want to pressure him too much, “I'm good.” Jackson said to me without hesitating, I could tell from the way he was behaving when he first got back but he wouldn't tell me what is bothering him.I didn't bother disturbing him anymore. I just took the little boy upstairs so that both of us can give Jackson some time alone to think. I couldn't stop worrying about him but I just had to give him some moments to clear his head and I am sure he's going to feel better in some minutes. It's not like he’s going to be moody the whole day.*******After spending

I became a little worked up about it and I panicked a little.When I was done transferring the file I was about to shutdown the system so that Paul wouldn't trace that I used it. I had already placed the drive in my pocket. “Who is that?” A firm feminine voice asked in a soft and anxious tone. I raised my head to see who it was and behold it was Hope. I panicked a little, I didn't know what to do or say at that moment I just stared at her eyes. Suddenly her face changed and she looked so furious. As she was getting closer I began to panic more. “What should I do next? what should I say to her?” I asked myself.Hope was very ruthless.
