Betrayed A Story Of Three の小説・ストーリー

“Those ninety-nine IVF rounds, the hope, the heartbreak, the injections, the surgeries, you knew all of it.” “My positive pregnancy test, the one I planned to give you as a surprise on our tenth anniversary, you didn’t know that either.” “You only knew one thing: that I ‘owed’ you a child.” My voice remained steady, but each sentence made his face turn whiter, his body start to tremble. “You only knew how to force a confession out of me. How to throw me into jail.” “No, Serena…no, that wasn’t…” He was unraveling, words tripping over each other.

He did not look at the phone, at the words—he only looked at me, and in that look there was less pity and more a promise. “What did he say?” I managed. “What did Ethan tell them?” Lucas’s jaw worked once. “He spun it. He called you reckless—said you were drunk. He made you the villain before the doctors had finished telling anyone what was real.” My stomach dropped out entirely. I had been a collection of murmurs and subheadings in the mouths of others; my grief turned into someone else’s plot point. Ethan’s voice—smooth, carefully modulated—rang in my head like a bell tolled for someone else.

She thought she was speaking to a lawyer sent by Drake, and to reduce her sentence, she betrayed Gariel without holding back. “Gariel’s such a fool for believing everything I tell him since he was a child. I told him Hale was a temptress, and he hated her for twenty years. All the money he earned, I didn’t leave him a single cent, and he thought I was suffering out there. All the things he did, he did them himself. I’m willing to be a tainted witness if it gets me out. He’s useless. He can’t even complete his revenge. He ruined himself and dragged me down too.”

The divorce had granted me momentary satisfaction, securing millions in alimony and shared property was a sure win that had embraced my cold heart like a warm, cozy blanket. But recovering from the betrayal didn't happen overnight; in fact, it still didn't happen when I was amid familiar faces celebrating my freedom. A long list of guys approached me, a handful had been mutual friends between my ex and me, Hmpf! I guess loyalty was something all of them lacked. Of course, I turned them down and tried to occupy myself with drinks. I wasn't a big drinker, as a model, I had to be careful about what I let into my system, but tonight, I didn't care.

He carried Gina past me without a moment's hesitation. I stood alone in the corridor, leaning against the wall and watching their retreating figures as tears streamed down my face. My back throbbed with pain, but it was nothing compared to the ache in my heart. I wiped away my tears and smiled bitterly at myself. I had come to the hospital today to confirm my pregnancy and tell Sebastian the news, but I did not want to say anything anymore. This was his third betrayal, and it would be his last. I did not want to hear his explanations anymore, and I did not want to forgive him again.

My Alpha mate, Cassian, slept with thirty-two women from my circle just to get back at me. When he finally realized his revenge had been misplaced and that everything I’d done was only to stabilize the violent rage of his wolf, it was already too late. I was gone. … After I told his father I was leaving, my phone buzzed violently, like a death curse. I swiped the screen open and was instantly drowned in a flood of photos of Cassian and Sophia tangled together in intimate embraces.

And Hayden—the man I once trusted, the man I once loved. He betrayed me. My head snapped up, eyes burning with fury. I didn’t know what kind of magic was messing with me. I didn’t know who to trust anymore. But I knew one thing for sure…I was going to find out everything

He was family in the way blood sometimes failed to be. And he had betrayed me. He had sold me out. Betrayal never cuts clean, it shreds through trust, leaving behind a mess of disbelief and pain. And now, the one man I trusted above most… was my enemy. I had been played by one of my most trusted men. I was fooled.

One wrong step, and all her efforts to keep the balance could come crashing down. The night descended, casting an ominous stillness over the compound. Jessica, Gregory, Tesla, and Elara—all were bound in a web of secrets and lies, each carefully treading the line between ambition and ruin. And at the heart of it all, unaware of the machinations around her, was Summer—an innocent caught in a labyrinth of treachery.
