Chosen to be Betrayed CHAPTER 57: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THALISSIA!
Orvyn holds my hand, but I still can’t bring myself to look at him. My eyes drift toward the calm lake, while my mind circles around his regrets about choosing me over Victoria, and my photo with his note, where he judged my emotional and physical insecurities. “To be honest,” he begins, his voice cracking as though it hurts him to speak, “I really don’t know what I should tell you. I’m ashamed to have said those words. But… choosing you and loving you is something I don’t and will never regret. I was just upset at myself for letting so many get hurt, including you. I felt like I failed.” “You failed the moment you started to love me. That’s a good reason to be regretful,” I counter. “No. I’m happy to love you. I’m even happier to build a family with you,” he argues, his words firm, yet pleading. I want to confront him about the photo too, about his cruel note, but I pull back. Whatever alibi he gives, I doubt I’ll trust it anyway. So I’d rather not hear him speak about it.Orv
Chosen to be Betrayed CHAPTER 56: WHO'S PROFESSOR ADELAIDE?
My chest feels tight, and my stomach churns.I can’t concentrate all throughout the lessons as the thought that I may be learning from my r.apist’s mother, who’s pretending to be someone else, keeps haunting me. Why does no one in the palace recognize her and even allow her entrance? The hours drag on painfully slow. When the lessons finally end, I thank her, trying to keep calm and unsuspicious. But the little smirk on her painted lips tells me that she's already noticed my anxiety and is possibly amused by it.Outside the study room, I stop in my tracks when I see Orvyn waiting and smiling warmly at me. He looks so much stronger and finer than before.“How’s your lessons?” he asks.I open my mouth to tell him what I saw when Lady Olivia’s look-alike steps out of the room.“It’s nice to meet you again, Your Majesty,” she says, politely.Orvyn’s soft expression hardens instantly. His jaw clenches, and his eyes grow dark. Yet, her smile doesn’t falter. “It seems like you’re not aw
Chosen to be Betrayed CHAPTER 55: DISTANCE
I continue to refuse speaking to Orvyn coz the emotions are still too raw and too fresh to shake off. He spends a few moments with me, trying to start up a conversation, but I give him no reply or reaction. When it’s time to leave the palace, he has no choice but to give up and go with the Bloodbane wolves. Great! Now, I’ll have the bedroom for myself! I need space and silence to clear my head and relax my emotions.Unfortunately,...His words, “If only I can turn back time, I would’ve chosen you to be my queen,” while caressing Victoria’s cold face, keep echoing in my head. I try to think of something else for distraction, but the memory won’t leave me. Even after a few hours, when Orvyn finally returns, that same scene is still all I can think about. I don’t even notice him at first until his voice breaks my thoughts.“Hey, my love, this is for you,” he says, holding out a bouquet of red roses to me.My heart says to take it, just to avoid an argument. But my brain screams “N
Chosen to be Betrayed CHAPTER 54: REGRETS
THALISSIA’S POV: I run as fast as I can, my heart aching like it did before. All of Orvyn’s lies and vile plans against me come back all at once. They suffocate me to the point I lose track of my surroundings. I knew it! Our relationship that begins with lies will never end well, no matter how much the two of us try to fix it! I partly blame myself for exposing Victoria’s fake pregnancy. But hearing Orvyn admit how much he regrets choosing me over her is too much to bear. I didn’t want him to choose me so he could betray me. I begged him for a divorce, but he refused. By the time he finally became open about it, our mate-bond was already too strong for me to let go. How can I cure him, if we don’t equally share a strong mate-bond? How can I cure him, if he’s wounding me like this? Drops of rain begin to fall from the gray sky, which washes the tears on my face and snaps me out of my thoughts. I find myself almost at the slippery edge of the lake where one wrong step could make
Chosen to be Betrayed CHAPTER 53: THE SEVERED MATE BOND
ORVYN’S POV: My heart splinters into pieces and my tears fall hard as I listen to Victoria’s gut-wrenching words. She’s right. I’m a horrible and undeserving fated mate. I asked her to trust me when I said I wouldn’t choose her as my queen in the King’s Selection Ball. I promised that once the Frostveil Pack is destroyed, that’s when I make her my queen. She agreed even though she was skeptical and hurt. But then, I betrayed our bond, and pushed for her death. But what can I do? Save her and let everyone know that it’s fine to attempt murder as long as they have some emotional attachment with the king?How about the justice Thalissia deserves? Should I just dismiss it and pretend it doesn’t matter?If only she didn’t become desperate, she wouldn’t be in that guillotine.You made her desperate when you started fancying your wife, and ignoring her: My conscience echoes through my head, amplifying the guilt I’m already struggling to contain.My entire body freezes when Victoria brave
Chosen to be Betrayed CHAPTER 52: AT THE GUILLOTINE
VICTORIA’S POV:I wake up, my body is heavy and weak and my mind is a broken fragment of thoughts. My vision blurs for a while until slowly, human silhouettes appear clear: Queen Aurora with a couple of royal guards behind her.“What brings you here? You never dared visit me before,” I say, frustrated.Queen Aurora’s lips tremble as she answers with a broken voice, “I never intend to visit you here. I was only forced to, to let you know how sorry I was… for not being able to flip your situation around.”My brow furrows in confusion. Then,...Memories strike back, sharp and heavy: Dr. Marlene came earlier, forcing me to take a test to see how my pregnancy was going. I refused, telling her that I trusted only my pack’s ob-gyn. But then everything turned violent. The guards grabbed me when she ordered them to restrain me. I fought back, and she injected me with something that caused me to pass out.I gasp, quickly clutching my stomach as my heart beats dangerously wild. “D-did she fi
