All Chapters of Revenge Born of Betrayal: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

That morning felt different.Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of any obvious change.But because of something unseen—something that had begun to move slowly inside Aurora.She stood at the doorway of Hazel’s room. Not stepping in. Not walking away either.Her gaze was fixed on a simple scene.Darius.He sat by the window, holding Hazel carefully in his arms. The morning sunlight fell across his face, making his expression appear… softer than usual. There was no tension. No calculation. Just a calmness that felt strangely real.Hazel let out a soft laugh. Light. Innocent.And Darius smiled.A smile that wasn’t forced.Aurora felt something tighten in her chest.The scene was too… perfect. As if it belonged. As if he was meant to be there. As if everything… was right.And that was exactly what made her uneasy.She stepped inside slowly, her footsteps nearly silent.Darius turned. His gaze met hers immediately.There was no guilt. No awkwardness.Only something… calm.“She just

The question landed without hesitation.Darius didn’t answer immediately. He simply looked at Aurora for a few seconds, then let out a quiet breath.“I never set you up,” he said at last.Aurora let out a short laugh—cold and sharp.“But everything points to that,” she replied. “You showed up. You knew too much. You pushed me to believe… and now this is the result.”Darius shook his head slightly. “I didn’t push you. You made that choice yourself.”Aurora narrowed her eyes. “Because I trusted you.”The words hung in the air.Darius stepped a little closer, still keeping a respectful distance. “And I never intended to break that trust.”“Then what is this?” Aurora demanded. “All just a coincidence?”Darius met her gaze. “I believed Hazel was my child too. Not because of some plan… but because everything that happened back then made sense.”Aurora said nothing.Darius continued, his voice lower, “And because I wanted it to be true.”That made Aurora pause—for a moment.But only for a mo

The words fell without hesitation.Dante narrowed his eyes.“Who are you talking about?” he asked quietly.“You and Lily,” Aurora replied. “I don’t want to live with the same kind of lies.”Dante let out a short laugh.There was no humor in it.“And you think this test will settle everything?”“At least for me,” Aurora answered.Dante studied her for a few seconds, then leaned forward slightly.“Fine. But I have a condition,” he said at last.Aurora wasn’t surprised. “Of course. Say what you want,” she replied coldly.Dante didn’t look away.“If the result shows Hazel is my child…” he said slowly.Aurora already knew where this was going.“…you come back to me.”Aurora looked at him without blinking.A few seconds passed.Then—She let out a soft laugh.Not because it was funny.“No,” Aurora said immediately.No hesitation.No consideration.Dante frowned. “You won’t even think about it?”“There’s nothing to think about,” Aurora replied. “I’m not going back under your control.”Dante’

The air in the room shifted.Not because of the cold—But because of his presence.Lily remained seated on the floor. Her body stiff. Her gaze no longer defiant like before. For the first time, she stopped pretending to be strong.“You…” Lily’s voice faltered. “Peter Walker…”The man didn’t respond. His steps were calm. Measured. As if the place already belonged to him.That name was not an ordinary one.Peter Walker.A longtime friend of the late Mr. Blackwood. A man who rarely appeared—yet was always behind things that were never explained.Lily swallowed.“So you’re the one behind all of this?” she asked, trying to steady herself.Peter stopped in front of her. His gaze flat.“You know too much.”The same words as before.But now—More real.Lily let out a small, forced laugh. “If that’s your reason, you’re too late. Plenty of people know more than I do.”Peter didn’t react. He simply raised his hand slightly.A signal.Two men behind him moved immediately.Lily didn’t have time to

Darius didn’t move.His phone was still in his hand, though the screen had already gone dark. The last sentence kept replaying in his mind.That cry sounded like Hazel.Not just similar.Too familiar to ignore.Darius lifted his head. His gaze sharpened.“Get the car ready,” he said briefly to his assistant.“Now, sir?”“Now.”No further explanation. None was needed.Minutes later, the car sped out of the driveway. Darius didn’t give a clear destination, but his thoughts were fixed on one place.Aurora’s house.If Peter was really there—Then everything would become clear.Elsewhere, Aurora returned to the living room after calming Hazel, who had cried earlier.Peter was sitting on the sofa. Relaxed, yet still composed—like the house wasn’t someone else’s.Aurora sat across from him.“I didn’t expect you to come at a time like this, Uncle,” Aurora said.Peter gave a small nod. “The right time rarely arrives neatly.”Aurora studied him. “What do you mean?”Peter didn’t answer immediate
