Lahat ng Kabanata ng I AM BETRAYED BY THE MOON: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

Author’s POV Mira stood quietly among the others, her hands trembling slightly but her eyes were sharper than ever. The offer Elara had made—a chance to walk free and walk away with a hundred thousand dollars—was tempting beyond measure. Was this real or just a mere trap? She contemplated. But then the Luna wouldn't make such empty offers while swearing with the name of the Moon Goddess. She longed to speak, to confess, to unburden herself of the crushing guilt. But as the moments stretched, doubt crept in like a shadow. What if the portion Lyra had given her... wasn't poison like she thought? Besides Lyra couldn't have given her poison without telling, could she? What if she had spoken and it was poison? She might walk away freely but the news would spread across the kingdom and things would never remain the same. The humiliation. The stain on her image. The silence around her felt like a cage. Others shifted nervously, but no one dared break the unspoken code of silence. Mira’s

Author’s POV Two days later Lyra paced her chambers, her mind a mess of spiraling thoughts and rising dread. She hadn’t been able to sleep a wink since it happened. Elara’s words replayed in her head like a cursed chant—“One of the kitchen staff has already confessed…” Could it be Mira? Or someone else? Did Elara already know the full truth? If Mira already confesses that her food was poisoned, then it's only a matter of time before she spilled the whole truth about who handed it over to her. By then, she had to be ready for a counterattack. She can't go down just like that. Frustrated and unable to keep calm, Lyra grabbed her phone from the bedstand and called Kael. He didn’t answer the first time. Or the second. On the third ring, he finally picked up, his voice calm as ever. “You’re not supposed to call me,” he said sharply. Not supposed to call him? She couldn't believe her ears. He had handed the poison over to her and now left her to deal with the situation alone. “I don

Damian’s POV I stood frozen at the same spot long after Elara left, her words echoing in my ears like a prayer chant I couldn't stop. “You brought that woman into our lives. This is your fault… I will never forgive you for this, Damian.” My heart clenched in a way it never had before. I’d seen Elara cry once—just once since she lost the baby, and then she tried to hide it. But this time she didn’t even try. She let the pain pour from her eyes and didn’t bother if I heard it as she stormed into the hallway. And it was because of me. And it was because of the mistake I made. I brought Lyra into our lives. I thought I loved her. I thought she was the woman who would stay by my side when I take the throne. But soon enough, I realised I never loved Lyra. Maybe I just pitied her because we grew up in the Rogue Kingdom together. And I was just grateful for those times she was there for me. Soon, I realised no woman could replace Elara in my life. She was the best woman I could ever as

Author’s POV “Oh… oh God… help!” Damian's legs stopped on their own the moment Lyra’s screams echoed off the dungeon walls. His first instinct was to turn away—to harden his heart and leave her to sort herself out. A heartless woman like her doesn't deserve his mercy. But then her voice came again, piercing through his thoughts, frantic and trembling that it was so difficult to ignore. “DAMIAN! It hurts—our baby! Help me!” His fists clenched at his side, and for a moment, his legs refused to move. For the briefest moment he suspected that she might be faking it. He didn't want to fall for her games like always. But what if it wasn’t a game this time? What if the baby was truly in danger? If something bad happens to her, he won't be able to forgive himself. He let out a heavy grunt of frustration, turned around and ran back to the cell. He flung the door open and found her curled on the ground, clutching her stomach, her face contorted in pain. She wasn't faking it. "What happen

Elara’s POV "I lost my baby, Gomez," I finally had the courage to break the news to him. Since it happened I have not told him because I know how much it'd break him. He had looked forward to performing his godfather duties more than anyone else. "What?" He screamed, his voice almost ripping my ears apart. "How the hell did that happen?" I sighed, explaining everything to him in detail including Lyra's involvement. "I swear I'm going to kill her," his voice rose with anger and I knew just how much he'd be seething even without seeing him. "Hope she's been punished?" I didn't answer immediately. Was she being punished? I do not know for now but I know Damian would punish her. If she comes back from the hospital, we would continue from where we stopped, right? "Yes," I finally answered. "She's still in the holding cell for now," I lied. "Please don't tell, mom," I added before ending the call and he promised not to. I couldn't sit still. I was curious on the reason why Lyra had
