All Chapters of The Bet That Broke Us: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

KayI walked over to the door when the ring came again. I wasn’t expecting anyone, so who would come to my place while it was raining this hard? The rain kept hitting the windows loudly, almost aggressively, like the sky itself was angry. I walked to the door and checked the camera to see who was there, but it showed no one. That made me hesitate for a second. The rain was too loud, the night too still, and something about the whole moment felt off, but after a second ring, I unlocked the door anyway.Immediately the door opened, the person outside fell forward and crashed onto the floor, staining it instantly with blood. Thick, warm blood splattered at my feet.“Hey!” I called, tapping her lightly, trying to get her to stand, but she didn’t move. When I turned her face toward me, my breath froze.Ruby.She had fallen unconscious, her entire body limp in my hands. Judging by the way her dress was soaked in blood, she had already lost a lot of it, and her skin was so cold it felt lif

MiaAfter Fiona fell asleep right after eating, I carried her to the bed, laying her down gently before settling beside her. I adjusted the covers around her tiny body and watched her chest rise and fall. She was so peaceful, so unaware of the chaos sitting heavily inside me. Sleep was the last thing that wanted to come near me tonight. Not after who I met today. Not after the face that had been haunting me for six years suddenly stood in front of me in real life again.I couldn’t erase him from my mind. Every time I tried to push him out, the image tore its way right back in… him in bed with another woman, his body pressed against someone else who wasn’t me. That memory had lived in my head like a parasite, feeding on my pain for years. That night broke everything inside me that loved him. It crushed whatever hope I had left. It made it impossible to trust him again.No matter how much I tried to forget, no matter how long it had been, the image still flashed through my mind with f

“Thank you,” Ruby muttered, looking innocent like she couldn’t hurt a fly. Her shoulder was healing faster than expected because of the treatment he gave her, and she knew it. She used that soft, gentle voice like she wasn’t capable of all the things she had done.“For what?” he asked, not looking her way as he handed her the coffee he prepared. She took it slowly from him, bringing the cup close to her lips. She didn’t even drink…she just grazed her lips on the rim and inhaled the scent like she didn’t want to break the moment.“I know you didn’t go to Singapore because of me,” she said quietly.He turned a little, narrowing his eyes.“You heard everything?” he scoffed. The irritation in his voice was cutting through the room. He hated that what she said was true. He hated that she could see straight through him. He hated even more that she was right… but he would never admit it.“Don’t get the wrong idea,” he said coldly. “You don’t deserve that much of my time. You seem fine now.

Mia I thought Day 1 would be the hardest day for me here. I thought yesterday’s anxiety and the heavy feeling in my chest were the peak of what I would experience during this conference. But I was wrong. It turned out I hadn’t seen today’s schedule yet. Today was the joint strategy workshop…a full-day event where participants would be placed into small teams based on similar niches. Each group would brainstorm, collaborate, and then prepare a ten-minute presentation with proposed solutions to a given case study. Normally, something like that would excite me. I loved problem-solving. I loved teamwork. I loved showing what I could do. But not today. Not with him here. Being in the same room with Rolex was already draining enough. Being in the same team with him felt like punishment crafted by fate itself. My stomach twisted the moment I saw the announcement on the group board. His name is next to mine. Same category. Same team. It was supposed to be fun. But now? It felt like

MiaImmediately I entered his suite, I was hit with that intoxicating scent of him that lingered everywhere in the room. It was the same scent that used to make my heart race, the one that annoyed me because of how much my body betrayed me whenever I perceived it. He led me deeper into the suite, to the room where his son was staying, lying on the bed while the attendant watched over him.I hesitated at the doorway. Something inside me tightened, like I was crossing a line I didn’t prepare myself for. Rolex noticed my hesitation. When I looked at him, his eyes were pleading. Really pleading. It shocked me because this was a man who rarely begged for anything. This was a man who forced the world to bend to his will. And now, he was silently asking me for help.I didn’t know if I was crazy for what I was about to do. Maybe I was. But the child wasn’t at fault. It was his parents’ fault anyway…The child had no blame in any of it. He shouldn’t be punished for their sins.I stepped close
