Chapter 47: From Revenge to Admiration
تاريخ النشر:
2025-12-18 05:00:21I saw shock and hurt flashed across her face. For a moment, I regretted speaking to her that way and I couldn’t explain why. But then I reminded myself: she’s an opportunist, only after my family’s wealth. She deserved it. She’s nothing but a social climber, an exploiter just like the rest of her family.
The only reason I agreed to t

My Deceptive Heart Chapter 88: Friendship Rekindled
"At first, he was really mean to me. He even blamed me for Jake's death." I confessed quietly as memories of those difficult days slowly resurfaced in my mind."At that time, I had no idea what was going on. I was only trying my best to pretend to be Alexa because I had no choice. I just went along with everything for my family's sake but eventually, he became suspicious of me and had me investigated." Kyle's expression immediately hardened with concern."What did he do after finding out the truth? Did he hurt you?" he asked seriously. I slowly shook my head.There was genuine worry in his eyes, and somehow, seeing that affected me more than I expected. It comforted me to realize that despite everything that happened between us before, Kyle still cared about me."No. Actually, his attitude toward me changed after that. Instead of exposing the deception my family and I committed, he chose to accept everything. Ever since then, he's been good to me."
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 87: Unseen Favorite
"Just a little while," he replied simply.There was an awkwardness between us at first, so we decided to order our food before talking about anything serious. Honestly, it worked out well for me because I had not eaten breakfast earlier that morning.Aside from waking up late, Mommy's unexpected call had completely ruined my appetite. At my request, we ate first before discussing anything. I subtly mentioned that I had skipped breakfast, and Kyle seemed to understand immediately. He quietly allowed me to eat in peace and did not bring up the topic we both knew we would eventually have to discuss.The silence between us was calm, but it carried an unspoken heaviness. And when we finally finished eating, I was the first one to break it."My parents already know that you're back in the country," I began carefully.The moment I said that, I noticed a slight tension appear on Kyle's face. Unable to hold his gaze for long, I instinctively looked away.
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 86: Unfair Comparison
Because of our fight the night before, Zeke left for the office early the next morning without even taking breakfast. The silence he left behind inside the house felt unusually heavy.It was obvious he was still upset with me. Honestly, I could not blame him. Even after he left, the tension from our argument still lingered in my chest, making it difficult for me to focus properly. But instead of dwelling on it, I tried to continue with my usual routine for the day.I planned to finish the painting I had been working on for days and later call Sybil to check how things were going at the gallery. I thought immersing myself in work would help distract me from the uncomfortable thoughts clouding my mind but before I could even begin painting, my phone suddenly rang. It was my Mom so I answered immediately."Andra darling, the investigators your father hired reported that Kyle is in the country," she announced without preamble.Her voice carried both surprise
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 85: Fire and Ice
I didn’t even think about the fact that he was right behind me. Not until I felt his presence closer than before. I paused for a fraction of a second. By then, I had already taken off my bra. The fabric was gone, leaving my skin exposed to the cool air. I was only wearing my thong, my back partially turned to him. I didn’t need to look to know he was watching.But I did anyway, just for a moment. And I saw it. The way his eyes lingered on me. The way they darkened slightly. The unmistakable flicker of desire that passed through them. It caught me off guard, even though it shouldn’t have.He had seen me like this countless times before because we had been so intimate so many times and even had sex multiple times. There was nothing new about it. So why did it feel different now?I forced myself not to react. There was no point in acting shy, no reason to pretend. Instead, I simply turned my back fully to him and faced the closet, pretending to search through my cl
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 84: Cold War
“I want to be angry at you,” I continued, my voice firm but not raised. “At both of you. Do you even realize how selfish you were?”“I’m sorry,” he said immediately. “I’m really, really sorry.”“Let me finish,” I said, taking a breath.“I want to hate you. I really do. But seeing you like this… seeing how unhappy you are after everything…” I shook my head slightly. “I guess it’s true. You can’t build happiness by hurting other people.” My voice softened despite myself.“I did love you once. You were my best friend and that is exactly why this pain cuts so deep… And yet… despite everything, I still find myself trying to forgive you, trying to forgive both of you because at the end of the day, she is still my sister, and in some way, you will always be a friend to me too.” I lowered my gaze for a moment before looking back into his eyes.“Thank you,” he whispered, his voice thick with relief. I could see the overwhelming gratitude shining clearly in
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 83: Truth Unfolded
"I knew she was ambitious," he continued, his gaze hardening slightly, "but I never thought she would go that far. I never thought she would use her beauty and her body just to get what she wants." The words felt wrong the moment I heard them.They did not fit the version of Alexa I knew. The sister I grew up with who always seemed so confident in everything she did. The one who had loved fiercely, at least from what I had seen. But doubt crept in anyway.How well did I really know her now? It had been years since we last lived under the same roof. I had spent so much time in France, building a life far from home, far from her. People change. Circumstances change them, ambitions shape them, and sometimes they become someone you no longer recognize. Maybe I had been holding on to a memory instead of the truth."It hurts. To think that she did that to me again." Kyle said, his voice tightening, pulling me back to the present. I frowned slightly, confusion replacin
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 70: Quite Shame
That weekend, we decided to spend it at Hacienda Saldivar because it was Anika's birthday, and Zeke's family wanted to celebrate with an intimate dinner. We arrived at the mansion around 6 PM. We had stopped at the mall first to buy Anika a gift. The drive had been quiet but comfortable. When we arr

He couldn't hold back and asked me that night, as we were about to sleep. I'd just taken a bath and was brushing my hair in front of the mirror. Suddenly, he wrapped his arms around me from behind and gently kissed the top of my head."You were quiet at dinner. Is something wrong?" he asked, his voi
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 69: Truth About Jake
The following days were so peaceful they felt like heaven to me. We decided to talk and clear things up between us, and I woke up that morning to find him watching me sleep. He'd made breakfast in bed, and we cuddled for a while before eating."I'm sorry about last night," he said. "I just
My Deceptive Heart Chapter 68: Old Agreements, New Hunger
The drive home was silent, so quiet I could hear the hum of the engine and the distant city lights passing by outside. Even when we pulled up to the penthouse, he said nothing, his jaw still tight with anger. He opened the car door for me like he always did, but his movements were stiff, his fore
