Kayla pov

When Justin stepped out of the house I found it very suspicious that he's leaving at this time of the night and today Ella would be going live on her social media accounts. I have been following her for a while now so I know everything that she's doing on social media.

I picked up my phone and checked what the time was when Justin drove out of the house. The whole situation was becoming emotionally draining for me and I don't think I can take it anymore. At this point he keeps making promises that he can't even fulfill.

The only thing that bothered me about leaving is my mom, she is going to see me as a failure again because that's what she thinks of me, every time she finds a reason to criticize me instead of being there for me. And then there is going to be my baby who would be forced to live without a father. There was a lot going on in my head but in all of this I still couldn't get that image off my mind.

The genuine smile on Justin’s face when he kissed her is somet

  • The Price Of Betrayal: A Matter of Revenge    Chapter 154

    Writer's povThe day started quietly, without any sign that something important was about to happen. Zach and Kendrick were in the living room, going through old files again. The kidnap case had dragged on for weeks, and though Ella was still moving freely, there had always been a question mark over her. They just hadn’t been able to prove anything.Kayla and Sally were in the kitchen, making tea. The air felt lighter since they escaped, Everyone knew Ella wouldn’t stop until something finally happened.It was Kendrick who noticed the small envelope tucked inside one of the files the police had returned earlier. At first, he thought it was nothing, just another overlooked paper. But when he pulled it out and unfolded it, his eyes stopped.There, clear as day, was a printed copy of a message. It was an email Ella had sent to one of the hired men who had guarded Kayla and Sally during their abduction. The message was short and direct, arranging payment. It even included her name at the

    Writer's povKayla was seated in the room, thinking about her decision to go back to Zach, she knew Sally was happy to hear it but that does not mean that Zach would be happy about it, she stood up from the bed and headed downstairs so she could speak to Sally a little more.Sally sat comfortably on the couch using her phone, one leg tucked under the other. She got distracted by Kayla's presence and she stared at her for a while. She knew when something was weighing heavily on Kayla, even when Kayla tried to cover it with silence.“You’re still thinking about him,” Sally said simply, breaking the silence.Kayla glanced up, meeting her friend’s eyes for a brief moment before looking away again. “I don’t know how to go about it, I feel like I'm doing something wrong.”Sally gave a small laugh. “Please. You’ve been quiet for days, and every time Zach’s name comes up, you stiffen like someone just pulled a cord. I know you, Kay. You love him, can you stop being stubborn about it? I know y

    Writer's povSally and Kayla were very happy about everything that has happened so far because they have been very distant from both brothers, Kendrick and Sally also paused their relationship for a while because she doesn't know how to explain the situation to him so she just concluded that it's better she gives him distance which has been a very tough decision for both of them. I don't know why they are still pretending not to want each other.Kendrick used every means possible to tell her and what she didn't even careers about her but Sally isn't sure of having it because even though when she was missing she kept thinking about him, but she don't want to jump into the conclusion just because she thinks every time she says or say praise for him people seem more concerned.****””Kendrick decided to stop chasing after her so that she doesn't get to the stage of being irritated around him just because he chose to not give up. The whole thing was a total mess at this point and his marr

    Writer's povIt was already evening, the kind that makes every sound seem louder, sharper, more noticeable. Kayla sat in her small apartment, Sally asleep in her crib, the soft hum of the fan the only thing filling the room. She tried to focus on routine—checking messages, tidying the living room—but her mind kept drifting, haunted by thoughts of Zach and the uncertainty of their breakup.She had decided to step away for what she thought was the greater good, to protect Zach and Sally from Ella’s obsession. And yet, even in the quiet of her apartment, a small voice whispered that danger had not disappeared. She could feel it, a prickle at the back of her neck, the sense that someone was watching, waiting.Outside, Ella moved silently, shadows clinging to her as she surveyed the streets surrounding Kayla’s building. Her plan had been long in the making, and now the moment had arrived. Kayla had left Zach, but that didn’t matter—Ella wouldn’t allow the obstacle to remain.She cannot exi

    Writer's povThe day had begun quietly, the kind of ordinary morning that contrasted sharply with the tension lingering in Zach’s chest. He made coffee, half-listening to the news, staring out the kitchen window as if the world beyond could give him answers. But it wouldn’t. Not today. Not ever.Kayla had left. She had walked out of his life, supposedly for their safety, and yet Zach refused to believe it. He replayed every conversation, every glance, every word spoken between them, searching for signs, for hidden meanings. He couldn’t reconcile the reality of the breakup with the woman he knew—the woman who loved him.“She didn’t mean it,” he muttered to Kendrick, pacing the small living room. “She couldn’t mean it. Kayla… she wouldn’t just leave me like that.”Kendrick leaned against the doorframe, arms folded. “Zach… she said it. You heard her. She made her choice. We can’t ignore that. We have to accept it and move forward.”“I can’t,” Zach said sharply, frustration threading his

    Writer's povElla paced back and forth in her small apartment, the walls closing in around her. Her mind was a whirlwind of disbelief, anger, and obsession. The phone call she had intercepted earlier—or rather, the messages she had seen—had thrown her into a state she wasn’t used to: confusion.Kayla… she left him? She actually left him? The thought refused to settle. Ella stopped mid-step, hands pressed to her temples. No. That can’t be. They’re lying. They have to be lying. They’re trying to trick me, make me feel… foolish.Her eyes darted across the room, landing on the notepad where she had written down every step, every contingency. Her plans, meticulously crafted, had always assumed Zach’s attention and Kayla’s defiance. And now, the idea that Kayla had actually chosen to leave Zach was tearing through her like fire.Ella’s lips pressed into a thin line, her fists clenching. They’re playing with me. They have to be. Her heartbeat quickened. She could not tolerate deception. Not
