PAST:

Shefali's POV:

Unlike my head that was so chaotic and loud with all those thoughts, confusions, assumptions, fear, paranoia, anxiety, anger — The corridor was silent as I stepped into it, the soft click of my heels echoing faintly through the empty hallway. But this time, the solitude didn’t feel suffocating— it felt oddly calm, like the eye of a storm. It helped me clear my head, but the truth was I missed the comforting chaos of everyone together, but a thrill of anticipation, a premonition of something extraordinary, hummed beneath my skin.

I pushed open the door to my room, and the world seemed to hold its breath. My gaze swept across the familiar space, then snagged, caught, on a vibrant splash of color on my bed. My breath hitched.

Five exquisitely wrapped gift boxes, each a masterpiece in itself, sat nestled amidst a cascade of tissue paper. A joyful shriek escaped my lips, echoing the sudden surge of elation that flooded my veins. Beside the gifts, a pristine white lily

  • KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL   CHAPTER 97: Fractured Night

    It was almost midnight when Annaida slipped into Damon’s room. She moved with deliberate seduction, draped in flimsy nightwear that left little to the imagination. The room was dim, lit only by the bedside lamp. Damon lay on the bed, leaning against the headboard, his forearm pressed across his forehead, eyes closed as though trying to block out the world.“Willy, don’t worry,” Annaida cooed, her voice syrupy.“I’ll handle everything. Poor Ryan… I feel so bad for him. His sexuality exposed like that. Did you know he was gay? At least now aunt and uncle can finally kick that bitch out. I’m sure those kids aren’t even Ryan’s. That cheap slut, just like her so‑called friend…”Her words dripped with venom as she reached for Damon, fingers trailing along his arm, sliding down toward his waist. She toyed with the drawstring of his sweatpants, her smile widening as though she believed she could soothe him, distract him, claim him.Damon’s jaw tightened. He tried to suppress the annoyance boi

  • 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

    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
