Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Deal with Betrayal: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

I waited close to three hours for the rain to stop. When it finally did, I drove home at the speed of a snail.By the time I reached home, it was close to 3:00 am.Aaron was fast asleep in the living room, hugging a huge plush toy Rachel gave him last year.I finally lost my temper and shook him awake.Aaron woke up and instantly started shouting at me."What the hell? Why did you wake me up so late at night?"I took a deep breath and stared at his handsome face. Still, I decided to speak my thoughts with determination."Aaron, let's get a divorce."He still looked sleepy before I spoke, but now, he stared at me with wide eyes and in disbelief, as if he'd just thought of something. He continued staring at me with some sort of guilt in his eyes."You found out, didn't you, Katrina? Fine. I'll cut all ties with her."He hurriedly went to grab his phone and started tapping on some buttons, blacklisting Rachel's number. Then, he carefully looked up at me."Kat, I've already blac

As soon as I'd gotten off the plane, I saw that Aaron called me dozens of times. When he called me again, I planned to hang up on him, but I accidentally answered the call because the weather was too cold.Aaron's anxious voice was heard."Kat, where are you? Are you really mad? Read your WhatsApp. I've just sent you a photo. I ordered 99 roses for you."I know that it had been a humiliating thing for you, so I felt remorseful as soon as I was done. I've already chased Rachel out and ordered the roses for you. That should fix the humiliation problem for you at the company. Right?"Everyone at the company had already witnessed the joke with their own eyes. What was the whole point of doing such an outlandish thing anymore?I immediately hung up on him. Then, I went to a warmer place, composed a long message, and sent it to the company's main WhatsApp group."I, Katrina Sanders, have already sold off all of my shares and I am no longer your boss. Before leaving this group, I'd just

In the interrogation room, the police questioned me repeatedly whether I'd pushed Rachel to the ground. It was because they'd received news from the hospital that Rachel had miscarried.I just kept repeating my answer, again and again, as I watched the hours tick by on the clock on the wall. It was well over an hour, and I was getting very anxious. I was worried sick about Mom's condition.Finally, two hours later, the police looked at the security footage frame by frame and noticed that Rachel had been the one who grabbed my hand and pushed herself in the stomach.When I finally left the police station, I immediately called Mom, but it was Aaron's driver who picked up instead.He told me that Aaron gave him 50,000 dollars to see if my mother needed help with anything.Seeing that Aaron probably wasn't as cold-hearted as Rachel was, I sent him the frame-by-frame video of Rachel pushing me to the ground.While waiting for my flight, my good friend also sent me information on Carso

I laughed. I bet Aaron had already forgotten just how much I used to love him. I loved him and longed for him so much I could have carved his name into my bones if that was possible. He was well aware of it, but he chose not to acknowledge it. He even refused to lay a finger on me.Aaron seemed to have also remembered this. He looked at me with embarrassment and let out a self-mocking chuckle after stepping back."I deserved it. I'm sorry, Katrina."I couldn't be bothered with him anymore and went back into my rented apartment.Half a year later, I finally came to terms with Mom's death. I left with what money I had and opened up a travel company in Nevington.Mom used to live here. I used to tell her that I would come home and start a travel business here once she and Dad had both retired.But now, I was the only one left.Two weeks after I started the company, Aaron opened up a café right next to me. It was the brand of coffee that I liked the most.However, he wasn't the
