All Chapters of Betrayed Princess: Reborn in Vengeance : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

SHAWN.George walked closer, sauntering like he owned the place. I stayed silent watching him.“Shawn,” he drawled, his smile glinting under the warm white light“I was wondering why you and your woman were suddenly interested in this company. You two were ready to give anything to have access to this company and boom, I found something precious.” I smirked.“The gold is ours!” His jaw clenched and I chuckled. I loved the fire in his eyes. Those powered energy, I loved those. He should know no matter what he could never overcome me. I just loved to see him try.“Yours? In our world, there is no fair game. Steal. Betray. Kill. Just don't get caught. You know how it is in this world. Nothing is yours. Nothing except your life.” I laughed softly.He took a step closer, the resolve in his eyes even darker. His hands clenched by his side, and I merely chuckled. He must be mad that I did not fret“I don’t have time for talk. Release the gold, let my men walk free, and I will let you breathe anothe

NORMANI.I watched George closely, waiting for him to spill the tea. The silence between us stretched and when he finally opened his mouth to speak, his phone rang. His eyes flickered when he saw the caller ID. He pressed his lips into a line before picking it up.“Yes,” he answered, curt, his voice lower than usual. Whoever was on the other side made George listen more than he spoke. I watched his jaw tighten, the way his hand curled slightly around the edge of the table. His eyes shifted briefly toward me, then away, as though the conversation wasn’t meant for my ears.When he ended the call, he set the phone down slowly into his pocket and I waited for him to tell me what he had to say.“You were saying?” I pushed, unable to hold back anymore. I really wanted to know what he had to say.“Didn’t you want to tell me where Shawn was last night?” I pressed, hoping he would continue to speak, even though his demeanor had changed.George looked at me with a strange expression, something betwee

NormaniI was returning the cart back to the others when my phone rang and Estelle’s voice cracked through my phone.“George’s mother filled the NGO form,” she said, each word a little knife. George’s mom? The same woman who hated me? I couldn't almost believe my ears.“Collect it,” I told Estelle.“Bring it to me.”She laughed, sharp and incredulous.“Why would she need help? George’s mother? With his woman next to him and their company? Didn't you say she was always supporting Becky?” Estella laughed but I did not find it funny. I was pissed. Not because she needed help but because she had fallen so hard, it was making it hard to even punish her.“I don’t know,” I said,“But I will find out. And if it’s trouble, I will make them all pay.” I headed back for my car.“Alright boss, I'm filling her name in right away.” Estella said and then ended the call. I closed the booth of my car and made my way to go in when I felt a hand behind my back, hovering over my mouth.My heart pounded wi

BECKY.I had thought that the gold was going to solve all of our problems. My mind was fixated on it and how it would miraculously take all of my problems away. However, since Shawn got his hands on the gold first and there was no way I could lay my hands on it, the only source of income was the partnership.Watson was the only source of income my company needed right now. My company needed a raise and I was going to get it. I waltzed into the company reception, looking as good as always. My makeup was on flick, and my body language was bold, just what I needed.I had only made a walk into Watson’s when I spotted someone.Her. I did not expect to see her in this place. Normani. What was she doing here in front of Watson and why was she holding that file in her hand? I watched with curiosity.Watson raised his head and when he noticed me he stood. Just what I expected. He had to stand. He was going to work with my company. Oh, Normani must have come to stupidly beg him to give her the

SHAWN.When I dialed Normani’s number, I already knew what I was about to do was wrong. My hand hesitated above the screen, trembling, as if even my body was warning me to stop. But I didn’t. When her soft voice came through, calm and unsuspecting, I forced a lie frome my lips.“Normani, don’t bother coming anymore. I… I’m heading out. Something came up.”Before she could even reply, I cut the call because I didn't want Jackie to hear my conversation with her. I stared at the phone for a long time trying my best to not call her back.I hate lies, I prefer to remain silent instead of lying but tonight, I chose to soil that. For the first time in my life, I lied to a woman not because I wanted her, not because I needed an escape but because I wanted to protect her. To keep her far away from Jackie. From all of these. I just couldn’t let her see Jackie…And then, the door opened.I looked up and she walked in back from the kitchen. She had an opened bottle water in her hand swhich she st
