작가: Peachie Mia
last update 게시일: 2024-11-11 19:36:07

Ava lay in bed, tossing and turning all night, her mind too restless to let her sleep. The thought of going to her father’s house for Grace’s birthday party—or skipping it altogether—kept running through her mind, refusing to settle.

What if that party is my chance? she wondered, recalling that there was a CCTV camera on the balcony of her father’s home office. Maybe it had recorded something from the night that changed everything. The possibility kept her pulse racing.

Finally, she glanced

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 104: The rescue

    **Ethan’s POV**My phone rang. It was Detective Miller, one of the men Liam had assigned to the case.“What?” I asked, answering the call.“We have movement at the Brooks estate,” he said, his voice tight with urgency.“What house? Be specific!” I demanded, my patience gone.“Your fiancée’s father’s house. The one you insisted we maintain surveillance on.”A cold wave of understanding washed over me. “It’s them,” I murmured.“How many?”“Three individuals. They’ve been searching the property suspiciously since their car arrived. Wait… a fourth person just got out of the car. Female. From the description, we’re eighty percent certain it’s Ms. Brooks.”“Yes!” Thank God I made them keep a team on that house.I ended the call and turned. Liam and Noah were staring, their faces etched with identical dread.“They have her,” I said, the simple sentence feeling like a declaration of war. “At her father’s house.” I was already grabbing my keys and sprinting for the door.“Ethan, wait!” Noah sh

  • The Betrayal's kiss    chapter 103: The documents

    **Ava’s POV**The door creaked open. “How are you feeling?” Phillip asked as he walked into the room, his voice calm, smooth, and unconvincingly gentle.I didn’t bother to look at him. “Fine.”He approached the bed, his fingers working at the knot on the rope around my wrist, the touch making my skin crawl. “We need to leave within the half-hour,” he murmured, his breath too close to my ear. “Grace’s patience is wearing thin. We can’t have them suspecting our little arrangement.” He paused, letting the lie hang in the air. “I know this is difficult, Ava. But you’re doing this for your father’s memory. For justice.”I sighed deeply, playing my part. “I know. I will do exactly as you planned. I will get the justice I deserve.”“Yes, you will. Gather your strength. I’ll be back in twenty minutes.” He left, and the silence he left behind was filled with the low murmur of voices from the next room. I could hear them arguing but couldn’t make out the words. My body ached, and the smell of b

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 102: Favorite uncle

    **Ava’s POV**I knew if I didn’t respond, or if I pretended not to know, he would shoot me again. Dizziness was already clouding my vision.“It’s… it’s at the house,” I stuttered, my voice weak.“Liar!” Grace yelled. “There was nothing in your father’s safe when we unlocked it!”I took a deep, shuddering breath. The pain in my arm was overwhelming. “I swear it’s at the house.”“Where?” Phillip’s voice was soft, almost gentle, which was more terrifying than any shout.“At… at the…” I paused, struggling to draw air into my lungs. “I kept it in my room,” I finally gasped.“Now she’s lying!” Sophie snapped. “I cleared your room—it’s mine now, you lying bitch!”“I swear, Philip, they’re hidden in my room. I am not lying!” I cried, the tears mixing with the sweat on my face.“Since you insist on lying, I might as well kill you now,” he said, the gun still leveled at my head.*I can’t die. No… no, I can’t die.*“I’m telling you the truth! I know where the documents are! Please don’t kill me!

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 101: Gunshot

    Ava's POV “If she won't talk, we'll make her,” Grace said as she advanced, a heavy stick in her hand. Hell no. I've taken enough beating for one day. I guess I'm meeting my father today. “Haven’t you done enough?” The words were a ragged whisper, all the strength I had left. Grace’s answer was a hateful smile. “Not until you talk, you bitch.” The stick whistled through the air and cracked against my thigh—directly on the fresh wound Sophie’s knife had opened. A blinding pain erupted **in** me. My scream was torn from a place so raw I didn’t recognize my own voice. And through the tears blurring my vision, I saw her—smiling. Enjoying it. That was it. A raw, desperate need to fight back, to make her feel even a fraction of my pain, surged through me. “Open your eyes, you fool!” I shrieked, my body straining against the ropes. “Can’t you see you’re hitting **an** open wound? Or are you truly that blind?” “The audacity!” Grace shrieked, and she began hitting the same spot over and

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 100: The torture

    Sophie's POV“Are you insane? You could have killed her, Grace!” Philip’s voice cut through the stale air of the room. He was already kneeling beside Ava’s motionless form, his fingers pressing against her throat to find a pulse. “We need her conscious to talk, not dead in a chair.”“Why the fuck did you hit her so hard?” he continued, his voice now deceptively calm as he placed a finger under her nose. “She could have died, and we’d be left with nothing.”“She’s still alive,” I murmured.“I know, just checking,” Philip said, giving me a dumb smile that irritated me even more.I couldn’t wait anymore; I was done waiting for her to regain consciousness. I strode outside, the slam of the door echoing my fury, and returned a moment later with a bucket of water sloshing in my grip.“What are you doing?” Philip asked, stepping in my path.“I can’t wait anymore,” I hissed. I sidestepped him and hurled the water directly into Ava’s face. “Wake up, bitch!”The effect was instant. She jolted a

  • The Betrayal's kiss    Chapter 99: No clue

    **Ethan’s POV**“What did you just say?” I screamed at the officer standing in front of me.“Calm down, Ethan. They’re trying their best to find her,” Noah said, for what felt like the hundredth time.“Calm down?” I yelled. “I swear, the only reason I am calm is that the next thing I do, you’ll all regret it! I told you they were useless. I could have handled this myself. It’s been almost 24 hours since she disappeared, and you’re telling me to be calm?”I turned my rage back on the police. “I swear, if anything happens to her, I will burn your careers to the ground,” I said, pointing a trembling finger at the officers. “Do you understand me?”“Mr. Wilson, I understand your frustration. We’re sorry we haven’t found a solid clue yet, but we promise we’ll have something by tomorrow morning,” said the lead officer, a man named Briggs with tired eyes.“Sorry isn’t good enough! You had one job. One job to do for me, and you failed.” I ran my hands through my hair in sheer frustration. “I d

    Ava's POV After a long, hot shower, I flopped onto my bed and covered my face with my hands. Why do I keep embarrassing myself around Ethan? It was like my body had its own plans every time he was near. I rolled onto my side, trying to distract myself, when my eyes landed on the file I’d been plann

    “Grace killed him,” Ava said, her voice trembling as she moved closer to Ethan. Ethan’s brows furrowed, his eyes fixed on her. “How sure are you?” he asked, his tone calm but probing. “Because I was there…” Ava whispered, her voice breaking. She swallowed hard, trying to hold back her emotions. “I

    Good morning,” Ava mumbled as she stepped through the front door, hoping to make her exit quick.“Good morning, cupcake,” Noah replied, glancing up with a grin. “You look so… sexy today.”A loud, deliberate throat-clearing echoed from across the room, causing Noah to shift his gaze and quickly change

    Ava's POV I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Why does the thought of Ethan kissing Victoria bother me so much? I asked myself, rubbing my temples. I’m not anything to him, am I?But then, my thoughts drifted back to the park. He kissed me too. My fingers brushed over my lips, remembering that soft pe
