Betrayal Marriage Novels & Stories

I insisted, a smile forming on my lips. She nodded and started going through the documents I handed over to her. A few more minutes later, I realized I had already put everything in order and was done going through the documents. My eyes glanced at the marriage document once again. I felt a pang in my chest. It suddenly hit me harder—the realization of their marriage still being valid. He didn't tell me he was still married to her. I trusted him. How could he betray me too? Why? How did I end up in this mess?

"Daughter? Husband? You swore you'd never marry anyone but me. You're just mad, saying this to get back at me, right?" I stared, unyielding. The rims of his eyes reddened. He was filled with pain and confusion. I was surprised. Even when his mom passed away, he wasn't so broken. "How could you break our promise? How could you be so cruel to me?" he asked, reproachful. I sighed, "Are you blaming me? But you betrayed me first." He froze, his lips trembling. "Nothing was going on between me and Olive." I cut him off with a sneer. "Betrayal isn't just physical. The moment your heart wavered, we were done."

The scene before me played out like a cruel twist in a tragic drama, each moment etching itself into the depths of my soul with painful clarity. My mind raced, desperately seeking to make sense of the betrayal unfolding before my eyes. Colten, the man I had shared my dreams, my hopes, and my life with, stood mere feet away, his hand intertwined with another woman's as though it were the most natural thing in the world. It was a sight that shattered the very foundation of trust and security upon which our marriage had been built. Every touch, every whispered word between them felt like a searing brand upon my heart, a stark reminder of the vows we had once exchanged in love and faith. How cou

She chuckled, patting my hair. The more revelation from her, the harder it hit me. So this is it? The reason Mathew made me give up everything? The reason he wanted me to be just a housewife? The reason he made me give everything to Megan, deceiving me that he wanted me to focus on our marriage and get pregnant? I slammed my head against the wall, grabbing my chest and whimpering. The betrayal was too much to take in. “You were supposed to be my sister, Meg. My family. How could you do this to me?” Fresh tears brimmed in my eyes, but she just smirked at me.

All of this had been relayed to me immediately by my lawyer, Chris, through his own methods. After hearing what happened, I was actually very calm. There was not a trace of pity, nor a hint of satisfaction. I had simply watched this farce, born of greed and stupidity, move step by step toward its inevitable end. I just watched as her world collapsed. After being thrown out by Kyle, Jean had finally realized that she had lost everything. With nowhere left to turn, she had pinned her last hope on me. She had probably thought that 10 years of marriage would at least keep me from being too ruthless.

He glared at Damien, his face contorted with rage. "Dad....." Damien ran a hand through his hair, "How can I explain this to James? The bride just ran away through the damn window!" His voice was wobbly. "How could she betray her own family?" The sound of footsteps broke the silence in the hallway as William's parents arrived, their faces filled with concern. Damien and Blackwood stood frozen, hearing William's voice from outside, but he didn't express it.

Alain's heart sank, the rims of his eyes turning red. "I treated you like a treasure. For you, I lost my son and divorced Marie. And you? You've been deceiving me all this time. The pregnancy was fake, and Jonathan isn't my son." He leaned against the wall, struggling to stand. With everything exposed, Mabele finally dropped the act. "I only wanted the position of Mrs. Roth, not to be your mistress. Don't talk to me about love. To you, I was merely a source of entertainment."

"Two years of marriage deserves at least five minutes of conversation." "We've had plenty of conversations," Adaline replied coldly. "I particularly remember the one where you told me I was 'defective' because I couldn't get pregnant." His mask of remorse cracked slightly, revealing the cold calculation beneath. "That was taken out of context. I was upset, you know how important family is to me. I won't sign this. You're my wife." "A wife you betrayed with my best friend," she replied, her voice steady despite the anger churning inside her. "A best friend who's now carrying your child. Sign the papers."

Instantly, the room fell silent. "Thank you all for coming today," he began, scanning the guests and media. "But before anyone draws conclusions from banners or formal invites, allow me to clarify something important." Eva shifted uncomfortably in her seat. William continued, "There will be no wedding. There will be no merger. And there will be no lies today." The room froze. Murmurs rippled through the audience. Eva tensed. "I, William Hartford," he said more firmly, "will not marry someone for business. I won’t sacrifice my life for a legacy agreement. And more importantly… I will not betray the person I love just because of pressure."

"How does it feel, you are about to be married to one of the wealthiest women in America and the country beyond." "I feel nothing but obligation sprinkled with a little guilt." Marcel stated deadpanned. He was telling the truth. His mind was still reeled with the feeling of betrayal. Yes he was still mad at Racheal but he was a hypocrite after all he was about to be married without her knowledge. Arranged marriage or not. It didn't make it any less of a betrayal.
