Betrayal By Family Novels & Stories

Thomas poured us glasses and we sat close, the energy between us was thick and charged. "So," Thomas started, "relationships. Family. The real shit." "That's a heavy opening," Mila said. "I'm a heavy person," Thomas replied, looking at me. "Riley, you've been quiet. What's on your mind?" I took a sip of wine and looked at both of them. "My family betrayed me right before my wedding. Everyone took the other side. The only person who stayed was her." I reached over and took Mila's hand. "The only person who actually gave a fuck."

Victor and Isabella let me down. Victor, the man I trusted and loved hid a truth that changed how I saw him. Isabella, my daughter kept secrets that could tear our family apart. Their lies and silences hurt me. I felt angry, sad and disbelieving.I rubbed my temples. How did everything fall apart fast? One minute we were getting ready for an event. The next I was facing betrayal. My heart hurt knowing the people I trusted were breaking apart.I tried to understand my feelings. I was angry at Victor. I was disappointed in Isabella. I realized I was blind. All of it was crashing together inside me. I thought about the envelope, the party and the whispers from guests. The images and feelings woul

my mum said “He said he had no idea when I asked him” Mike said Sidney scoffed “His family were the ones in charge how could they let something like this happen” “it’s not just matching up; they are clearly hiding something” she added. “If I find out they had a hand in this, there will be no union between both families, I never liked them anyway” my mum said “You should rest some more, your mum and I will handle this” my dad said “Okay” I said a they left the room only Sidney stayed back.

“But I promise to make it right. But what can I do when someone from your family betrayed us from the inside?” “What do you mean?” I asked Kevin to hesitate before answering, his eyes darting around nervously. I anyway don’t trust anyone from my so-called family, but what they did today is beyond what I ever imagined. “Who is the reason for this betrayal?” I demanded, my voice low and dangerous. Kevin’s eyes met mine, filled with guilt and fear. “Your grandfather,” he whispered, his voice barely audible. I felt a surge of anger and betrayal as the truth sank in, as my body trembled with rage. “The one I least expected,” I muttered, clenching my fists. “Turn out. He was the mastermind all alo

I blurted and then turned around to leave but she grabbed my leg. “Please don't do this to me, I promise to keep to my words.” “You…” “I will keep my distance from her, repenting of my sins.” She ratted out. While she apologized, I didn't say a word to her as I tried to imagine what she would have done to Nora if I hadn't caught her. Indeed, betrayals mostly stem from the family. “Fine! I will give you a second chance only if you keep to your promise.” “I will!” She said immediately, her eyes getting lit up in excitement.

I said, my voice tightening against the tide of fury rising inside me. Azrik placed a steadying hand on my knee. “Exactly. We read. We gather everything. Then we strike.” But I was already trembling, my breath shallow. This betrayal cut deeper than anything that came before, because this time, it wasn’t just a cult. It was family.

I certainly couldn’t reach any lower than the bottom so who knows… perhaps I could still outlive this and make Domenico fall in love with me. If Dante doesn’t see through our ruse, that is. Because I know once he did it would be over for both Domenico and me I. Dante would never trust his brother again and would probably strip him of his title because of me. Tradimento. Betrayal was the only thing that could break up a mafia family - once you break the trust, nothing could fix it again. Did I care? These people were only my family through this joke of a marriage, so why should I be faithful to them? Dante would throw me under the bus as soon as he had a chance, so why shouldn’t I do the same

“Aren’t you the one keeping secrets from my father? The very man who trusts you with his life more than anyone else, even more than me, his own son?” “You don’t understand; my case is different." Levine snapped. “Your father betrayed me first. He killed the only woman I ever loved... just because she came from a family he held a grudge against. It's not the same." He explained. Caesar leaned back in his chair. "That’s exactly my point. Betrayal doesn’t come out of thin air. It’s triggered by something, most times, pain, desperation, and anger. Just like my father’s paranoia and clouded judgement triggered your betrayal, there’s something out there that could trigger Zayn’s betrayal of Jayden

Although, I am not sure if she is even aware that she is not speaking with Malleteagan anymore. “Well, girlie, I am becoming bored and have a battle to lead. Do you plan to continue with the staring contest, or do you want to talk? The question is simple: how can I trust you and your treacherous mate, as well as your gang of wannabe sorcerers? He betrayed me, and you betrayed your ruler, although she holds your sisters hostage. That means that you have not just betrayed your ruler but your sisters, too. You betrayed your family. The one who gives up on own family can betray anyone.” I said and felt a pang of pain and guilt as my thoughts drifted away to my mate and daughter.
