Semua Bab KISS OF HIS BETRAYAL: Bab 51 - Bab 60

PAST: Shefali's POV:My head snapped towards the sound. A figure emerged from the shadows, bathed in the soft, revealing light of the room. She was breathtakingly beautiful, elegantly dressed in a golden & maroon sequin tight short dress that clung to every curve of her voluptuous body. Her long, blonde hair, styled to perfection, cascaded down her back, reaching her waist. She walked with an almost predatory grace, as if on a runway, but her expression was anything but serene. Her eyes, narrowed and blazing with an unholy fire, were fixed on me, promising absolute annihilation.“…you bloody bitch…. how….who do you think you are…. to enter here…. and ruin my surprise…. I know people like you…. I don't even understand who even let such a low-class person like you inside our hotel….” Her words, a torrent of vitriol, continued to pour out, each one a sharp, stinging blow.Tears, hot and sudden, blurred my vision. The dream, the magic, the overwhelming sense of being special – it all shat

PAST: Shefali's POV:My mind was still reeling, trying to process the sudden shift in atmosphere.I felt overwhelmed, the bizarre confrontation and the chilling realisation that this man was the one from the club. He had just admitted that in the most intimidating way.I felt foolish for even entertaining the thought.'Was he really the same person? Had I been wrong all along?The stranger from the club spoke with a clear, unmistakable American accent—bold, unfiltered. But this man… his voice held the refined sharpness of a British cadence. Similar, yes—but not as deep. Not as husky. Not quite him.'His gaze had an amused glint in his deep eyes.He sighed, caressing my left cheek softly.“Didn’t I just help you from her? Don't that count?” he asked, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, dangerously charming.“Then why on earth are you still pissed at me, baby girl?” He sighed.“I apologised for the mess she made and for what I did before this moment.”, he said, his voice a smooth, ca

PAST: Shefali's POV:I had been walking, lost in the chaotic symphony of my thoughts, when I unexpectedly encountered Eva. A tiny gasp escaped my lips –“Shifu, where were you. Come on, we are already late for the party.”I hadn’t known she was attending, and truthfully, I hadn’t bothered to ask. Her eyes sparkled as they raked over my attire, and a warm smile graced her lips. “Wow, you look absolutely stunning! Such a pretty dress.” she exclaimed, her voice a cheerful melody.A nervous tremor ran through me, quickly blossoming into a full-blown panic. I managed a weak smile in response, my mind a whirlwind of anxieties.Stunning?The word echoed mockingly in my head, amplifying the cacophony of my inner turmoil. I took a shaky breath, hoping she wouldn’t ask any more questions, trying to steady myself, as we continued our slow procession towards the venue. Every step felt like a march towards an unknown fate, each one heavier than the last.Then, like a beacon in the storm, I spotte

PAST:Shefali's POV: “A word of advice, Shef,” Alex began, his voice a playful murmur, close enough for me to hear over the din of the banquet hall. “For a person who ought to stay out of D’s radar, all you’re doing is poking and provoking him. He already seems obsessed with you, and to add to that obsession, you’re just challenging him with your every action. And let me remind you, he loves a good challenge. Consider these words of wisdom your birthday gift, darling.” I scoffed, my blood starting to simmer. “WHAT RUBBISH! Can’t you see he has a girlfriend? Why would he be obsessed with me? He’s just trying to mess with me, to satisfy his ego. I know that.” Alex simply shook his head, his gaze unwavering, making me squirm under his intense scrutiny. It was unnerving, this silent understanding he seemed to possess. “You know, for someone who despises D, you’re almost like him,” he continued, a hint of something unreadable in his eyes. “No wonder he’s fascinated by you. In our

PAST: Shefali's POV:I couldn't comprehend how he even noticed me among so many people, especially since Alex and I had moved from where we had stood earlier. I had been battling my inner turmoil, making Alex believe I was simply feeling sick from the alcohol. Honestly, Alex wasn’t all bad; he was kind and helpful. He held my hand and comforted me when I felt overwhelmed with all those fears and guilt that consumed me. He side-hugged me like a true friend when I needed assurance, and at that moment, I melted in his embrace, trying my best not to cry. He didn't bother me with questions, but was comforting me. Damon’s intense gaze met mine, and for a long moment, our eyes were locked, a silent, charged exchange. His gaze brought a shiver down my spine, and I straightened myself. But then, his facial expression shifted, and that familiar, evil smirk, the one I so desperately wished to wipe off his face, reappeared. I assumed Alex might have noticed our intense exchange. He gently p
