The doors opened and closed as people moved in and out, the laughter spilling into the night. They looked free in a way I hadn’t felt in days. “I don’t trust myself,” I confessed. “What if I do something I can’t take back?” Anita’s expression softened, just a little. “Then that’ll be your choice. Not his and not mine.” I swallowed. “I don’t want to betray him.” She scoffed. “Betray him? He already walked away. He betrayed you first, anything you do, is just a reaction.” “That doesn’t make it hurt less.”

I wanted to hurt her, to hurt them both. I don't care what secrets she has about him, tonight I felt betrayed, betrayed by someone I unexpectedly develop feelings for. I guess my short journey at G.L.O.S.H has come to an end, I will have my resignation letter dropped off, Fuck them and their one-year service policy. Even if it means dragging them to court, I will.

A ringing blow hits my àss as Ace hisses at me to stop. "Continue to fight me and it will be worse for you," his voice is low and the meaning’s plain. I freeze as his words register, I may not want to be his captive, but I need to find a way to survive this. Jack will come for me, I know he will, and when he does, I will be healthy enough to aid in my escape rather than a dead weight. I'm not a damsel in distress. I am strong. I chose to reject this jerk knowing the pain it would cause me. I was willing to leave my home and start from scratch.

"I made a mistake — no, I destroyed everything and I see that now. But we can fix it, for the kids... for us." Her eyes didn’t waver and she still maintained eye contact with me. "There is no ‘us’ anymore, Lyon." She stated coldly. "You ended that the day you chose betrayal over loyalty, the day you believed a lie over me. And you made sure I left with nothing but my broken self." "But I didn’t know you were pregnant, you didn't mention it to me," I argued, and it was a silly excuse on my behalf. "I would have never —"

I just wasn't the one he chose to love. Three years. Three whole years. And it took dying for me to finally understand that I'd been so painfully, devastatingly wrong. I hated how blind I'd been, that I only saw him clearly at the very end. And I hated even more that our unborn child never got to see this world. Not even once. My hand went to my chest. The pain there wasn't sharp—it was slow, cruel, like being carved out piece by piece. When Reese arrived at the house, he hesitated. For some reason, standing in front of the door, a strange unease curled in his stomach.

And for a few perfect seconds, there was no history, no pain just them. Their vows came without paper. Just voices and trembling hearts. Elias cleared his throat, trying to steady himself. “I lost you once. And even when I didn’t remember our story, my heart still looked for yours. It still found you. I promise to never let go of that again.” Lucas blinked fast, his voice raw when he spoke. “I waited when everyone told me not to. My soul didn’t believe the silence. It kept reaching for yours. I’ll never stop choosing you.”

“He’s not lying, Noa. He made his choice. Same as me. You were never going to choose us. So we choose ourselves.” Noa’s gun stayed up, his whole body locked in fight mode, but his soul was folding. Alessio’s betrayal cut deeper than any bullet. “You wouldn’t,” Noa whispered, but it sounded like begging now. Alessio’s grin softened, almost sad. “I would. I did.”

“Billy I choose you, it's you that my heart longs for” But then it doesn't look like it. Choosing him in my heart but backstabbing him by obeying my father was the highest betrayal, I broke Billy's trust, he had so much trust in me, he did everything to make me happy and just like that I subconsciously chose another. Another man who would never love me as Billy would. “I didn't break your trust..”.I stammered “. I'm left with no choice “. I whispered weakly. The word lingered.

“He just… redirected.” Silence. Then— The line that changed everything. “You weren’t random, Emma.” A pause. “You were chosen.” ***** Emma looked away. Just for a second. Because that— That hurt differently. Not betrayal. Not heartbreak. Something colder. More deliberate. “I tried to tell you,” Stephanie said softly. Emma’s voice was quiet. “Why didn’t you?” Stephanie looked at her. Honest. Broken. “Because you loved him.” A pause. “You were happy.”
