Chapter 3: The Betrayal

Chapter 3: The Betrayal

Vishiea’s POV

“How could you do this to me?” I asked in disbelief and took a step back. The woman quickly pulled the blanket to cover her naked body. While he was on the other side, he just remained silent while looking at me.

Why he’s not talking? Isn’t he guilty at all? I closed my fist tightly, “Talk to me. Explain this shit! What are you doing, Darius? Really? On our anniversary?” The girl’s eyes widened in terror. I glared at her. Everyone knows about our relationship. That Darius and I were mates. But she still agreed to hook up with him!

I bit my bottom lips and tried to calm myself down. I didn’t think he could do this to me. I thought I was the only one he wanted to spend his life forever. I thought he would never hurt me.

The woman attempted to leave, but I stopped her, “Hang on there. Don’t you fucking dare to leave!” I warned. She looked down and hid in a corner.

I glared back at him. “Please, say something, Darius. Don’t make me upset like this,” Why am I the one who’s begging now? Shouldn’t he be the one to beg? To explain everything? Doesn’t he know that what he did is too much?

He thought I was not hurt? This fucking hurt me! He’s my damn mate, but he betrayed me! I can’t accept this madness. I just can’t. I shook my head furiously when he still didn’t talk. I walked closer in his direction and slapped him.

“Damn, Darius! Talk to me! You can’t just expect me to accept this betrayal because you’re my mate!” His face went sideways, but he looked at me again. He stood up and picked his shirt on the floor.

“I’m sorry,” he murmured casually. He what? Is he sorry? He’s saying that as if this is just nothing to him. That doesn’t bother him at all.

“No, you’re not sorry…” He looked at me. “That’s it. Even if I will say sorry now, it doesn’t change that you will never forgive me.” I close my mouth shut. “And one more thing. Don’t expect me to explain something because what you see is what you see. There’s no use of lying.”

This is ridiculous. He even looked proud of this nonsense he did today. I shook my head in pure disbelief, “You changed.” He chuckled dryly. He wore his shirt and pants, “You never know me at all.” He said that made my jaw drop. What? How could he say that?

“I know you…” He glanced at me. “Really? If you thought you knew me because we grew up together, you’re mistaken then. You don’t even know I cheated on you,” I closed my lips tightly. This is not the Darius I know.

How could I know? I trust him so much! I looked at him sharply and slapped his cheeks again. “Bastard. You’re even the prince. How could you make an action like this?” he grinned and shrugged his shoulder.

“It doesn’t matter if I’m the prince or not. Anyone can cheat,” he’s impossible. I closed my fist tightly and punched his face. He backed away several times. He wiped the blood in the corner of his lips.

“Anyone can cheat if they want to. And you chose to cheat,” He laughed sarcastically. “Yes, I did. And does it bother you?” Wow, a big wow.

I took a step back, “Does it bother me? Of course! Anyone who can see you in this state will be surprised. This is the best gift I ever get from you.”

He stared at me as if he had realised something. Don’t tell me he forgot that it is our anniversary today. “You forgot it, didn’t you?” He remained silent as he stared at me.

“You’re impossible. You managed to cheat on me on our anniversary,” I bit my lip and cried. I couldn’t hold my tears anymore. This fucking hurts me.

“I’m sorry…” I shook my head. “No, you said it. You’re not sorry after what you did. Let me ask you then, how long have you been fooling me?” He looked down. It pains me every time I demand an answer, but he keeps looking down.

“Two months ago. I slowly fell out of love,” he replied without looking at me. Two months? I laughed sarcastically, “Slowly fell out of love? How? How could you say that? I’m always giving you attention. I was there when you needed me the most. I was fucking there! We were still okay last week, and now you’re telling me you fell out of love and cheated two months ago!” I screamed.

He’s being unfair. Damn unfair! “I’m sorry---” I cut him off. I shook my head furiously, “NO, you’re not sorry! Stop saying you’re fucking sorry!” This can’t be true. Please tell me, this is just a nightmare.

“Vishiea---” I shoot him a glare. “Don’t. Please don’t call me my name. I’m disappointed and disgusted by your action. I love you more than myself, but… you hurt me,” I cried. I wiped the tears from my cheeks, “Even if I hate you, mad at you right now. I still love you,” he looked down again.

“I’m sorry, Vishiea, but we can’t do this anymore. We need to break up,” he said. Where did he get the courage to say that? He’s the one who cheated, not me!

“Break up? Okay then, if you broke up with me. We better end everything now, then? But I’m telling you, you will lose me forever. Is that what you want?” I warned. He looked up, “All right then…” What? Won’t he even think twice?

Before he could say something, someone suddenly entered. It is my family’s butler. What does he need? “My lady! I’ve been looking for you. You need to come home now!” He said breathlessly. Why? What happened?

“Why? Did something bad happen?” I ask worriedly. He looks like he wants to say something meaningful and crucial.

“Your mother and father,” My brow furrowed. “What happened to them?” he took a deep breath before answering.

“Your father was held for trial, and your mother… she died,” My world seems to crush. I fall to the ground.
