All Chapters of Beautiful Betrayal: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Azerbel’s POVThe moment the healer said the word poison, something cold spread through my chest.Not fear.Something worse.Because deep down… I already knew.The healer standing in front of me was the same woman who treated me after the rejection. Back then, I thought surviving that pain was the worst thing that could happen to me.I was wrong.“Yes,” the healer said carefully, her brows tightening. “There is a trace of poison in your system, but not much.”She glanced toward my stomach before looking back at me.“It is not strong enough to kill you, but this is dangerous for a pregnant woman.”My throat tightened instantly.She explained that the poison could weaken the baby growing inside me. That if I kept eating it over time, the damage would slowly get worse.“You mean… it could kill the baby?” I asked quietly.My teeth clenched so hard my jaw hurt.I thought about the cookies.How many had I eaten already?How many times had I smiled and thanked her while feeding poison to my

Azerbel’s POVI was about to test whether my friend truly wanted me dead.And somehow… that hurt more than the poison itself.My stomach twisted with nervousness as I sat there waiting for Rejin.I had never made a plan this big before.Never manipulated anyone like this.But I had watched luna Lorraine long enough to know how powerful patience could be.And Genaro…I had seen the coldness he could wear when someone threatened what belonged to him.I learned from both of them.Still, my chest felt unbearably heavy.Because now that the first wave of shock and rage had faded after discovering what Rejin did to me and my baby…Only sadness remained.Deep.Exhausting sadness.The kind that hollowed you out quietly.I kept remembering the small things.Her smiles.Her concern.The way she stayed beside me when I felt lonely.And the question would not stop circling in my mind.Were any of those moments real?Did she ever truly care about me?Or was she pretending from the very beginning?

Azerbel’s POVRuztom was not the only one who understood how dangerous Genaro could become when angry.I could feel it too.The rage inside him was growing too fast.Dark.Violent.Uncontrollable.His eyes turned cruel, and the air around him felt heavy enough to crush someone alive. The killing intent pouring out of him was so strong it made my skin prickle.And all of it was aimed at Rejin.Ruztom and Rejin were both trembling now.Even Gavin looked terrified.He stood there with his head lowered toward the floor, barely daring to breathe too loudly, like even the smallest sound might push Genaro over the edge.Before Genaro could speak,Before he could destroy everything in this room with one command,I spoke first.“I want time alone with my mate.”My voice came out cold and steady.“All of you can leave.”Genaro immediately looked down at me like he was about to argue.But before he could say anything, I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around him.Part of it was selfish.I mis

Guerero’s Point of ViewRuby should not have come here.The second she stepped into my cell, I saw it in her eyes.Hope.Not much of it. Just enough to make this worse.Like some part of her still believed she would hear the words she had been waiting for all this time. An apology. Regret. Anything that could make sense of what happened between us.Maybe she thought this would have ended differently if I had stayed with her.If I had let Azerbel go.If I had accepted the life Ruby wanted to build with me instead of destroying everything to chase my mate again.But even now… chained inside this freezing cell, waiting for judgment…my heart still refused to choose her.“Regret?”I lifted my head slowly.The chains scraped softly behind me.There was nothing left inside me for her to read. No guilt. No panic. Just exhaustion so deep it felt hollow.Like I had finally woken from a long dream and realized too late that none of it had been real.Still, my voice came out steady.“The only th

Guerero’s Point of ViewMy mother knew.From the moment she walked into that dungeon cell, she knew exactly what I planned to do.She just never truly believed I would go through with it.I told her everything that night.I told her to bring a silver dagger to the trial.Mother, do you love me?Father is going to kill me.This is the only way I survive.Those were my exact words.And they haunted her.I know they did.She probably spent the entire night torn apart by them, lying awake beside the mate I planned to murder.In the end…her love for me won.So she brought the knife.But the second my father’s body hit the floor,the second blood spread beneath him in a dark red pool,I saw my mother break completely.Her knees gave out instantly.Her entire body trembled as she stared at him.Watching the life leave his eyes.No matter what happened between them over the years… they were still mates.They spent decades together.That kind of bond does not disappear in a single moment.And
