The Cost of Betrayal Chapter 20
Kendra's eyes were filled with obsessive love and uncontrollable possessiveness.Conor stared at her in fear, retreating farther and farther away. "Kendra, stop this madness. It's impossible."Conor was completely fed up with her. Even knowing that his words might provoke her, he couldn't bring himself to placate her with lies.Sure enough, Kendra's hands stopped moving, and her gaze instantly sharpened. "It's okay. It's okay. Even if you don't want me now, once we're married again and you see how much I've changed, you'll come back to me. We can still start over. We really can."As she spoke, Kendra took her own identification documents out of the safe, then rummaged around for Conor's. She dragged him toward the door."We're getting married right now!"Conor clung desperately to the headboard. "Kendra, I don't love you anymore. What we had ended a long time ago. I'm not marrying you! Let go of me!"On the verge of a breakdown, Kendra dragged Conor into her arms. "I'm not letti
The Cost of Betrayal Chapter 19
Kendra didn't show up again for some time.According to Alana, her mother, Margaret Sterling, had taken her back home by force.Kendra was now pregnant with Damon's child. Even though she didn't want the baby, Margaret was determined to keep it. When Kendra went to get an abortion, Margaret brought people to stop her, and the procedure never happened.Damon was taken back with her as well.After all, Kendra had been married to Conor for years without having a child. The Sterling family had few heirs, and they needed a child to inherit the family fortune.Surrounded and closely watched, Kendra no longer had the time or energy to keep harassing Conor.With her constant interference gone, his life became much more peaceful.He and Alana got together. After Kendra left, he accepted Alana's confession.One evening, Alana drove Conor home after work. Along the way, he kept checking the cars behind them in the rearview mirror. Something about them felt strange.His instincts told him
The Cost of Betrayal Chapter 18
The museum's construction phase had begun, and Conor was so swamped with work that he practically lived there. He was constantly rushing from one task to the next, often forgetting to eat without even realizing it.Since he never had time to leave, Alana would come to the museum to drag him out for a meal. She kept this routine up for three months.When the first project finally wrapped up, the team decided to go out and unwind. They knocked on Conor's office door."Chief Curator, want to come with us? We're thinking of hitting a bar to relax.""Not tonight. Alana invited me to dinner." Conor turned them down without hesitation. "Go ahead and have fun. Whatever you spend, put it on my tab.""Mr. McCullough, she really does keep a close eye on you, huh? Coming by every day is one thing, but the moment you're done working, she comes and whisks you away.""Well, it makes sense. You still haven't accepted her confession, after all. She's probably getting impatient."That was true.

The next second, Kendra rose to her feet, her expression dark. The fury she had been unable to contain erupted all at once. She snatched up a glass ornament from the table, and smashed it against Damon's head.With a loud crash, glass shards flew everywhere, mixed with splashes of blood."Ah!" Damon let out a harrowing scream and fell to the floor. Kendra curled her lips into a sneer, then planted her foot on his leg and ground down hard.The sound of glass piercing flesh rang out clearly in the silent room."Ahhh!"With a fierce, unbridled malice etched across her features, Kendra ignored his screams, pressing her toe down on his leg without easing up even a little, as though this were the only way to release the hatred festering in her heart.Soon, blood had stained the white carpet bright crimson.Damon was in so much pain that he didn't dare move. He had no idea what had happened or why everything had suddenly turned against him. He was too weak to fight back and could only

The moment Kendra got out of prison, she went straight home.The first thing she did was rush into the study and open the files she'd asked her secretary to investigate.She couldn't understand what Conor had meant. What did he mean when he said he'd been framed? What did he mean when he said Damon had started the fire? And what had she helped Damon do?She flipped through the documents page by page. The more she read, the darker her expression grew. A sharp, pervasive ache—a mix of crushing regret and profound heartache—spread through her chest, fine and relentless as needles, stabbing into her heart until it felt utterly mangled.At one point, she could barely breathe, as though she were suffocating."What have I done?"Conor had been kidnapped and tortured for seventeen days.What had she been doing? What the hell had she been doing?She had believed Damon when he told her Conor had staged the whole thing himself, so she ignored it. Even when she received videos showing Cono

Conor nodded immediately."Call the police!"At his instruction, the smile in Alana's eyes grew even more pronounced. She immediately pressed the call button and gave the address in the local language.Kendra's face was filled with disbelief. She couldn't believe Conor could really be this heartless. Desperate to salvage the situation, she tried to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, the disgust in his eyes only deepened.Afraid that she would make things worse, she could only lower her hands, deeply unwilling to do so."Conor, I'll give you some more time to calm down. Think it over, then reconsider. I can explain everything about Damon to you. I never intended to marry him, and I didn't want the baby."I'll have the baby aborted as soon as I get back! You can contact me whenever you want. I'll stay here and wait for you during this time."After saying that, she turned toward Alana under Conor's cold gaze.The pain and ferocity on her face vanished completely,
