KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL CHAPTER 43: A Bitter Taste of Reality - Part 2
“Hey, D, she is Shefali, my best friend, the birthday girl I mentioned earlier.” she said, side-hugging him.A wave of pity washed over me as I saw the sheer respect and adoration in her eyes for him. I glanced at him again. He seemed to have changed his suit, but it was still a black, three-piece ensemble, impeccably tailored.“Oh! You’re the birthday girl, huh? Happy birthday, love,” Damon said, extending his hand for a handshake. I didn’t take it. Instead, I placed a hand on my chest, offering a curt nod and a mocking smile. He didn’t react, his expression unreadable. Anyone, however, could have seen the concern etched across my face, though I couldn't tell if it was because I had hurt him or because of what he might do to me next.“Where is Ryan? Did you see him?” Damon asked, and I looked at Eva, who promptly explained, “Fu, he is Ryan’s cousin, but more like best friend and brother.” I just stared at Eva, irked by the sheer adoration in her eyes for him. I wanted to scream, t

I looked at him one last time, a swirl of conflicting emotions tightening in my chest, and then turned sharply, needing to escape his overpowering presence. A dull ache settled in my heart, a hurt I couldn't quite articulate. Even I, shielded as I often was, had heard whispers about him. My mother, in hushed tones with my father, sometimes spoke of his ruthless business acumen, his crooked and cunning ways, how he manipulated people to bend to his will. Yet, the public knew him as a renowned boxer and a philanthropist. I was indeed an ignorant fool who after knowing the facts still couldn’t piece shit. I truly believed I am too smart and sharp but looking at the trouble I have landed myself in is making me rethink everything. Everything was right in front of me still I didn’t care to acknowledge. I felt a bitter laugh bubble up, choked by the sheer irony of my pathetic situation, the inescapable trouble I found myself in. The title of "philanthropist" felt like a cruel joke, a
KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL CHAPTER 42: Whispers of Destiny and a Fateful Reveal
“A word of advice, Shef,” Alex began, his voice a playful murmur, close enough for me to hear over the din of the banquet hall. “For a person who ought to stay out of D’s radar, all you’re doing is poking and provoking him. He already seems obsessed with you, and to add to that obsession, you’re just challenging him with your every action. And let me remind you, he loves a good challenge. Consider these words of wisdom your birthday gift, darling.”I scoffed, my blood starting to simmer. “WHAT RUBBISH! Can’t you see he has a girlfriend? Why would he be obsessed with me? He’s just trying to mess with me, to satisfy his ego. I know that.”Alex simply shook his head, his gaze unwavering, making me squirm under his intense scrutiny. It was unnerving, this silent understanding he seemed to possess.“You know, for someone who despises D, you’re almost like him,” he continued, a hint of something unreadable in his eyes. “No wonder he’s fascinated by you. In our friends’ circle, we used to
KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL CHAPTER 41: A Whirlwind Welcome and a Fiery Gaze
I had been walking, lost in the chaotic symphony of my thoughts, when I unexpectedly encountered Eva. A tiny gasp escaped my lips –“Shifu, where were you. Come on, we are already late for the party.”I hadn’t known she was attending, and truthfully, I hadn’t bothered to ask. Her eyes sparkled as they raked over my attire, and a warm smile graced her lips. “Wow, you look absolutely stunning! Such a pretty dress.” she exclaimed, her voice a cheerful melody.A nervous tremor ran through me, quickly blossoming into a full-blown panic. I managed a weak smile in response, my mind a whirlwind of anxieties. Stunning? The word echoed mockingly in my head, amplifying the cacophony of my inner turmoil. I took a shaky breath, hoping she wouldn’t ask any more questions, trying to steady myself, as we continued our slow procession towards the venue. Every step felt like a march towards an unknown fate, each one heavier than the last.Then, like a beacon in the storm, I spotted them – my parents,
KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL CHAPTER 40: The Poison Beneath His Words
“I get it, we started off on the wrong foot,” he said, his voice a low, seductive rumble that seemed to wrap around me.He walked towards the cake and cut a small piece. Well, the cake was so tempting I couldn’t move my head, and he fed me. Still stunned at the way he responded to my slap….. by feeding a piece of cake.Was that a peace offering?“Let’s just forget the past and start fresh, okay? I’m Damon. Damon Knight.”Damon Knight. The name echoed in my mind, a sudden, chilling recognition.I am so doomed. Bran’s frantic warnings, his frantic blabbering that night, flooded my memory. Damon Knight, the name synonymous with danger, with power, with a reputation that preceded him in the most notorious circles. It couldn’t be. This man, the one who had just assaulted me, the one who had orchestrated this elaborate, confusing night, was the Damon Kn
KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL CHAPTER 39: Tangled In His Web
My mind was still reeling, trying to process the sudden shift in atmosphere, the bizarre confrontation, and the chilling realization that this man was the one from the club. Was he truly the same person? Was I wrong? The stranger from the club had an American accent, distinct and pronounced. This man… his voice carried the sophisticated, clipped tones of a British accent and his voice was similar but not as deep and husky like Mr. Stranger. The discrepancy, though minor, only added to the bewildering chaos in my mind.His gaze, which had momentarily drifted to Ana, snapped back to me, an amused glint in his deep eyes.“Didn’t I just help you?” he asked, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, dangerously charming. “Then why on earth would you lash out at me, baby girl?” He sighed.“I apologize for the mess she made,” he said, his voice a smooth, captivating baritone.
