Before he could see her, she pressed herself behind the door, her trembling fingers gripping the edge like her life depended on it. Tears streamed silently down her cheeks. She hadn’t expected this moment to be so agonizing… so soul-shattering.

She cursed herself— how could she be so reckless? So blind?

“I have layers, baby. Different layers… names and identities for different purposes.”

His words came back like a haunting echo from a forgotten nightmare.

‘Is he here because of Eva but……’

Naina mentioned he is from the Williams Group.

“Williams”

That name.

The realization struck her like a thunderbolt.

“Wasn’t William his middle name?

They even called him Willy, which he used to hate.

Yes, I remember him telling me his maternal grandfather had named him William after his father Williamson.

Dami had a special place in his grandfather’s heart.

Does that mean the Williams group belongs to his grandfather?

No way. But then Naina..... said

Was that the reason Dami was always so untouchable,

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 96: Echoes of Ruin

    Jenny’s voice carried through the room, sharp and animated as she spoke into her phone. Davina sat nearby, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, her mind far away.A gnawing unease had taken root in her gut, one she couldn’t shake no matter how hard she tried. She told herself it was nerves, that the approaching gala was the reason for her dread. But the feeling refused to subside.Her thoughts spiraled. Every plan she had made to vanquish Damon felt flimsy now, like a child’s play compared to the monstrous power he wielded. The idea of facing the world overwhelmed her. She still feared large crowds, and at the gala every eye would be on her.Worst of all, Damon already knew she was Davina Parker. He might have already prepared his strike. What if he released those videos from five years ago — the ones that had chained her to humiliation — right there at the gala? What if he used them to control her again, to capture her in front of everyone?The fear pressed down on her chest, suffoc

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 95: The Reckoning Begins

    Davina sat frozen on the couch, her eyes locked on the television screen. The entertainment channels were flooded with images of Ryan Wills and Chris Hopkins — scandalous, damning, relentless. But the worst wasn’t the news itself. It was the storm raging across social media.Every feed, every trending tag, every viral post carried elaborated details of what had unraveled inside the Knight Mansion. Eva’s reaction was dissected frame by frame, her devastation turned into spectacle. And now, the truth about Ryan had spilled out in full: he was married, a father of two, and all this time he had hidden his wife while indulging in affairs with other women. The status of his wife was questioned cruelly, her dignity shredded by speculation.It was a disaster.Overnight, Ryan’s entire career had collapsed. No sensible director or producer would cast him now. No studio would risk its reputation. His name had become synonymous with betrayal and humiliation.What cut deeper was Chris Hopkins. A g

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 94: The Stage of Shadows - Part 2

    Jenny moved like a shadow through the grand hall, her disguise intact, her posture timid, her eyes sharp. Every step was calculated, every glance rehearsed. She had learned to invade spaces without being noticed, to slip past prying eyes and vanish into corners where no one thought to look. Tonight, the Knight Mansion was a stage, and she was both actor and director.She pressed her fingers lightly against the thick frames of her glasses. To the guests, they looked clumsy, unfashionable, a mark of her supposed awkwardness. But inside the lenses, encrypted overlays flickered to life. The AI‑integrated system hummed silently — a secure channel opened, and she whispered into the hidden mic.“Naina, listen. You got the images of Damon and Annaida, right? The plan up until now is set in motion. But I’m nervous about the next part… for so many reasons.”Naina’s voice came through, steady, reassuring, carried by bone‑conducted audio that no one else could hear.“Relax, Jenny. It will be fine

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 94: The Stage of Shadows - Part 1

    Jenny had calculated everything down to the smallest detail. With a subtle maneuver, she strategically swapped her duty from serving wine to pouring rose water and applying scent to the guests at the entrance of the hallway. It was the perfect cover — close enough to brush against the most important figures, yet invisible enough to avoid suspicion.She smiled, flashing her teeth at the guests as they walked in, unbothered by the glares and disgusted looks thrown her way. Every man and woman who entered looked their best — elegant gowns, tailored suits, dripping jewels, and polished confidence. The hall shimmered with wealth and vanity.Then Annaida arrived like a queen.She looked different — slimmer, more refined, her elegance sharpened to perfection. Heads turned instantly, conversations paused, and eyes followed her every step. She was radiant, magnetic, the kind of beauty that demanded attention. But her eyes, cold and disdainful, locked on Jenny. She glared with disgust, looking

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 93: The Silent Conspirator – The Party Begins

    The Knight Mansion was no longer a home; it had transformed into a stage. Chandeliers blazed like fire, scattering fractured light across polished marble floors. The banquet hall gleamed in opulence — velvet drapes cascading like rivers of blood, gilded mirrors reflecting fractured truths, and arrangements of white lilies masking the stench of schemes. Servants moved briskly, adjusting silverware, pouring wine, rehearsing perfection as if the night itself demanded flawlessness.Guests began to arrive, their laughter echoing through the corridors, unaware they were stepping into Damon’s carefully laid trap. Family members, business partners, old allies — all summoned under the guise of celebration. Yet beneath the glittering surface, tension pulsed like a hidden current, ready to erupt.From the balcony above, Damon watched, his silhouette sharp against the glow. Every detail was deliberate: the timing, the guest list, the decorations. This wasn’t a welcome‑home party. In a way, it was

    Davina’s voice cracked, her fury spilling into despair.“You think chaining me through legal jargon makes me his? He’s delusional!”Mr. Mehra’s tone softened, but his words carried weight.“Delusional or not, Damon has created a structure where the beneficial ownership rests with you only if you acknowledge the marital designation. Without that, you remain a nominal shareholder with no enforceable rights. He’s turned your parents’ empire into leverage for his obsession.”Davina’s eyes burned, fury and despair colliding. Davina’s fists clenched, her voice rising.“So he’s betting I’ll cave. That I’ll accept being Mrs. Knight just to reclaim my parents’ empire.”Claire Whitmore, added with precision.“And that’s the trap. As I mentioned earlier, Damon structured this as a dual‑jurisdiction contract. Even if you challenge it in India, the New York filings will hold. He’s weaponized corporate governance. But remember — the fact that your marriage was never registered, and that he is unawa
