The Bet That Broke Us のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Mia“I’m sorry.” He muttered, his apology ringing loud in my ears. I shouldn’t be telling him this, I shouldn’t even be here, but who am I to say no when my body, mind, and heart finally want the same thing… this man.“I promise to make everything right again.” He added, and I looked up, confused. Slowly, I pulled away from him and he looked down at me, concerned.“How are you going to make things right? I don’t need you acting impulsive…” I started, but he cupped my cheeks before I could finish.“No… we’re doing this your way. I just need you to trust me too.” He said with a softness I didn’t even know existed in him. And I nodded, blinking slowly because hearing him speak that way shook something deep inside me.“D… does that mean we… we’re together now?” I asked before I could stop myself, caught between how to reveal this to Bruno and how to make Fiona accept that Rolex was her father. The reality of everything we were stepping into was heavy, but the warmth of his touch made it f

Mia “Why did you have to ruin it? I was going to come clean and tell him myself.” I snapped, getting back on my feet to stand before him. The tears had already ruined the light makeup I had applied on my face, and I was pretty sure I looked horrible now.“I figured you wouldn’t be able to tell him, so I came up with the best solution. Now you can decide which side you’re taking.” He said casually, and I couldn’t believe my ears.How dare he think he could put me in any situation and force me to choose?“Try fixing your mistake for once. Everything is already hard for me… why do you have to make it worse?” I asked, my voice breaking at the end.“If I hadn’t done this, how were you planning to fix it when you can’t even face it?” he added. I slowly wiped my tears, summoning the courage to finally go after Bruno. I turned to leave him when I halted, then looked back at him.“You had no right,” I whispered. “You can’t just decide things for me.”“And you can’t pretend forever,” he replie

KayBefore he could say anything, Kay’s vision began to blur. He blinked hard, hoping the dizziness would go away, but it only worsened. His fingers trembled uncontrollably, and the phone slipped from his hand, hitting the floor with a sharp clatter.“Kay?” Rolex’s voice echoed faintly from the phone speaker. Kay tried to respond but the words got tangled on his tongue, coming out like air instead of sound. He reached out weakly for the fallen phone, but before he could touch it, Ruby bent down and snatched it up smoothly.His knees buckled and he crashed down to the floor. His heart pounded against his ribs like it was fighting for escape. His body was failing him, violently. Every breath burned.He lifted his gaze to Ruby…barely. His vision doubled, then tripled, then blurred into a smear of colors and sharp edges. And she was smiling. pleased.That was when everything clicked.The coffee.She had prepared the coffee herself before going to shower and like a fool, he drank it while

RolexMy speed increased as I drove in and came to an abrupt stop in front of Kay’s apartment. I wasn’t stupid enough to ignore the sudden feeling crawling under my skin that something was wrong. He sounded different on the phone, compared to the text he supposedly sent me. And no matter how hard I tried to convince myself otherwise, Kay would never type that message. Not with the way he operates and not with the way we communicate.I stepped out of the car, my heartbeat steady but alert, the kind of calm that came before I ended someone’s existence. I walked forward with long steps, and the moment the door opened, the face I saw made my brows furrow in deep confusion.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice was low enough to warn her that she could lose her neck if she didn’t give a reasonable answer. She didn’t speak, so I repeated myself with even less patience. “I asked what you’re doing here, Ruby?” I said calling her by her name. She stepped back instinctively, fear flic

Rolex“Why are we here?” she asked me, her voice quivering as she looked at the familiar building ahead of her. I could smell her fear and desperation, and my eyes caught the way her fist tightened. It made me smirk.She really thought she could fool me. Poor girl. She had no idea I was always a step ahead of everyone around me. She must have thought she was smart when she collected Kay’s phone, thinking I wouldn’t be able to track him. But her small brain never once considered his wristwatch.For years, Kay and I created different ways to track each other in case danger ever came too close. Taking his phone was nothing. It wasn't even close to enough to hide him from me.“W… we really have no business here. Why have you brought me here?” she asked again, trying so hard to swallow her fear and pretend she had control. But her fear filled the air like smoke. And honestly… It excited me.Different ways I could end her ran through my mind, each one sweeter than the last. But saving Kay c
