The Betrayal Within Chapter 39
Olivia staggered back a step, her hands trembling as she clutched at her chest.“I– I’m sorry,” she choked out. “I didn’t mean to bump into you. I was just… I was—”Her voice broke completely.The words refused to come. Her breath hitched, sharp and uneven, as though her lungs had forgotten how to work. Tears spilled freely now, blurring everything in front of her. Her knees weakened without warning, and she swayed.“Hey—”The man dropped his bag instantly and reached out, steadying her before she could collapse.“Easy,” he said, his voice softer now, lined with concern. “Are you okay?”She shook her head, unable to answer. Her body betrayed her, folding inward as she struggled to breathe. One hand pressed tightly to her chest as if holding herself together.“I’m sorry,” she whispered again, almost incoherent. “I’m really sorry… I didn’t mean to—”He frowned, clearly alarmed. “No, no. I shouldn’t have shouted at you earlier. That was my fault.” He hesitated, then added gently, “Is thi
The Betrayal Within Chapter 38
Olivia woke with a sharp inhale. Her jaw clenched immediately.Anger was the first thing she felt, refusing to fade even with daylight creeping through the curtains. The image of the night before flashed in her mind: Maddie’s silhouette disappearing into the crowd, Julian’s grip on her arm, his voice telling her to stop, to think.Her fingers curled into the sheets. She was so close.Her phone vibrated beside her pillow. She didn’t even need to look to know who it was.Julian.She snatched the phone and glanced at the screen.'I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have grabbed you like that. I was just worried. Please talk to me.'Her lips twisted.“Fuck you,” she hissed, tossing the phone onto the bed like it had burned her fingers.Another vibration followed almost immediately—this time a call.Her temper snapped.“I said leave me the fuck alone, man!” she shouted, grabbing the phone and pressing it to her ear without checking.There was a pause on the other end.Then—“Madam Olivia?” Matilda’s ca
The Betrayal Within Chapter 37
*********************The car door slammed shut behind Maddie. She laughed breathlessly as she fumbled with her seatbelt, her movements clumsy, her fingers missing the latch twice before finally clicking it in place.“God,” she muttered, pushing her hair out of her face. “Why does everything feel like it’s spinning?”The man beside her didn’t laugh. Instead, he checked the side mirror. Then the rearview. Once more, slower this time.Maddie noticed.“Shuga,” she said suddenly, squinting through the windshield. “I felt like someone was following us.”He paused. Then smiled easy and dismissive.“You’re imagining things,” he said. “You had too much to drink.”Maddie frowned, leaning forward slightly, peering down the street as the car rolled off.“No,” she insisted. “I swear. I felt eyes on me. Like—” She snapped her fingers. “—like someone was right there.”He exhaled. “No one was there.”She leaned back in her seat, studying his face. The streetlights slid across his features, lighting h
The Betrayal Within Chapter 36
The sun had barely dipped beneath the skyline when Olivia walked briskly into the parking lot, high heels clicking with purpose. Her mind spun from what she had just seen on Maddie’s phone. At first, the message had seemed like a desperate, almost romantic plea. But something nagged at her now. As she stood beside her car, Olivia unlocked her own phone and opened the screenshot again. Her eyes scanned the message again and again, and there it was. A small line of text beneath the main message that she’d completely overlooked in the heat of the moment. “Bei Interesse treffen wir uns um 19:30 Uhr auf dem Delancey Rooftop” She frowned. German? Her brows furrowed as she copied the text into a translator. Her blood ran cold. “If you are interested, we will meet at 7:30 pm on the Delancey Rooftop.” She quickly searched for The Delancey Rooftop, and within seconds, images of a stylish club-bar with dim lighting, loud music, and panoramic views of the city skyline filled her sc

The message was still glowing on Maddie’s screen when Olivia stared down at it again. No. No way Lucas wrote this. She knew him. For all his charm, arrogance, and haunting mystery, Lucas wasn’t… this. He was calculated. Careful. Always five steps ahead. He would never be this direct. Not this sloppy. Not when he had so much to lose. Which could only mean one thing. She’s cheating on him. The thought made Olivia’s stomach twist with disbelief, and something darker. A whole Maddie, Lucas’s wife, sneaking around like some desperate side piece? “Oh, how the tables have turned,” Olivia whispered, eyes narrowing. She reached for her phone with lightning reflexes and snapped a quick picture of the screen. The moment the screenshot was saved, she locked Maddie’s phone and gently placed it back on the bench like nothing had happened. She exhaled through her nose and straightened her spine just as the studio door creaked open. Right on cue, the bathroom door creaked open. O
The Betrayal Within Chapter 34
The moment Maddie hit the floor, time froze. A sharp gasp cut through the studio like a blade. Her palms slapped against the polished wood, her knee grazing slightly as she caught herself, but the fall wasn’t what made everyone go still. It was Clara’s expression, her eyes widened and her lips parted, voice bubbling over with apologies. “Oh my God! Maddie, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to! Are you okay?” Clara rushed forward, hands fluttering near Maddie’s shoulders but not quite touching. Maddie scowled, brushing her off. “I’m fine.” “No, seriously, I didn’t even see you there,my turn was too fast…” “You pushed me,” Maddie snapped. Clara blinked, letting her voice crack just enough. “No! No, I, God, it must’ve looked like that, but I swear it wasn’t intentional!” Olivia stayed back, arms crossed. Her face was unreadable, but her eyes flicked toward Clara in secret amusement. Maddie pushed up to stand, her movements tense. “Just keep your hands to yourself next time.”
