All Chapters of Betrayed on the wedding day : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The crashing waves echoed against the yacht’s hull, creating a rhythm that was steady yet piercing to the heart. That night, the sky was littered with stars. The ship’s lights flickered, weaving an illusion of warmth. Yet beneath it all, Leviana’s heart was cold, lonely, and deeply wounded.She lay on the luxurious cabin bed, her frail body wrapped in a white blanket. Beside her, Adrian slept peacefully, his face calm as though life’s burdens had been lifted from him. Leviana turned her head, gazing at her husband with a storm of emotions—love, longing, and anger.At first, she wanted to smile, grateful that she could still share the same bed with him. But that smile vanished the moment a faint murmur slipped from Adrian’s lips.“De…viana…”That name. The name that stabbed her ears, striking her heart like a twisting blade.Leviana froze, her eyes wide in shock. The hand she had been about to place gently on Adrian’s cheek stopped mid-air.“Deviana… again. Even in his sleep, her shado

The soft hum of the engines grew louder as the luxury cruise ship slowly approached the vast harbor. The heavy ropes dropped with a thud, and a long horn echoed across the bay, announcing the ship’s arrival to land. From the balcony of her cabin, Leviana gazed at the city before her. The harbor lights merged with the towering skyscrapers, creating a dazzling sight that seemed to welcome thousands of passengers eager to step ashore and taste the life on land.But for Leviana, this wasn’t just another foreign city. To her, it was an opportunity—an opportunity to uncover the truth that had been tormenting her heart.Adrian entered the cabin, carrying a small bag. “The ship will stay here for two days. We can take a walk, enjoy the city. I already booked a car to take us around.”Leviana turned, forcing a faint smile. “That sounds nice.”Her smile was calm, yet inside, a storm raged. I’m sorry, Adrian. I can’t just stroll around pretending to be happy. I must find out about Deviana.---W

The atmosphere in the apartment felt cold, even though the AC was off. The modest living room, with its gray sofa and wooden table, looked neat, as if it mirrored the owner’s personality. Leviana stood rigidly in the middle of the room, while Deviana walked slowly, taking her place across from her, eyes dark and cautious.Silence bound them for several seconds. Only the sound of their breathing filled the air—heavy, restrained.Leviana was the first to break it. Her voice was hoarse, bitter, yet sharp.“How much longer are you going to stay in his heart?”Deviana furrowed her brows, eyes narrowing. “What do you mean?”Leviana stepped forward, her body trembling with emotion. “Don’t pretend you don’t know! I’m the one with him now, I’m the one who should be his only one. But every night, every smile, every gaze… your shadow is always there!”Her voice rose, trembling at the edge of her words.Deviana inhaled slowly, lowering her gaze for a moment before lifting it again—cold, unyieldin

The apartment was silent, the only sound the monotonous ticking of the wall clock. Deviana stood behind the door, her hands clutching the cold metal handle. Her heart pounded fast. She knew exactly who was outside—there was no mistaking that deep voice.With uneven breaths, she turned the key. Slowly, the door creaked open, and the figure before her seized her gaze.Adrian.His face was tense, his eyes bloodshot as if holding back a storm. The moment their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.“Adrian…” Deviana’s voice was faint, almost like an unwanted whisper.He stared at her deeply, his steps moving forward without invitation. Pushing the door wider, he walked into the living room as if the place still belonged to him.Deviana froze for a second, then quickly shut the door. “You… you shouldn’t be here.”Adrian turned to her, his expression complicated—longing mixed with the anger he tried to suppress. His fists clenched, as if carrying too many unspoken words.“I couldn’t hold myself b

Adrian was still standing in that narrow living room, his shoulders squared, his face laced with disdain. Deviana tried to steady her breathing, but her chest felt unbearably tight.The man stared at her for a long moment, then let out a low laugh—a laugh that sounded more like mockery than amusement.“Hah… do you really think I’m that foolish, Deviana?” His voice was deep, dripping with sarcasm. “The nonsense you just spewed… it’s nothing but a cheap attempt to shield yourself.”Deviana froze, her fingers curling tightly into fists at her sides.“I’m not lying,” she shot back quickly, her tone trembling but firm. “I really do have someone.”Adrian arched a brow, stepping forward. His smile was laced with challenge, his eyes stripping away every layer of her defenses.“No, you don’t,” he said coldly. “There’s no one else. It’s only me in your head. You still can’t forget me—and you know it.”Heat rushed to Deviana’s face, her blood surging. A storm of anger, shame, and bitterness coll
