Betrayed The Book Novels & Stories

I had always believed that even if he grew close to Summer, the class beauty, and even developed feelings for her in high school, our place in each other’s hearts would remain special. In sophomore year, some jealous girls had spread rumors that I was obsessively chasing him, trying to come between him and Summer. When Jason found out, he kicked over a desk in front of the whole class. Pointing at the girls, he shouted, “Emily is my childhood friend. If anyone dares to spread lies about her again, don’t blame me for being merciless!” At the time, I was certain I had a place in his heart. But now it seemed that had only been an act to maintain his image as loyal and sentimental.

But, should I be angry? The answer should be on the tip of your tongue….. No. I don't have any right to be angry at him because I might have done the same thing if I was betrayed. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew the consequences of being attached to the only person I betrayed. And maybe in the midst of his politeness, I thought, maybe somewhere in the deep pools of his forest greens, he saw me. The real me. What a grave illusion it was! Why would Xavier Knight whom I betrayed would ever consider anything except loyalty from my side. And, maybe he was right. I might be one of his side chicks who got screwed last night.

I expected to feel something when Tyler finally accepted my rejection. But I didn’t, not really. No pain, no remorse, just an odd sense of relief. More like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I suppose I should be glad not to have that hanging over my head anymore, but the truth is, I was numb inside. Now that I was free from the torture of betrayal, I still didn’t know what I wanted my future to look like.

I held the diagnosis and stood on the balcony for a long time. The evening wind rustled the paper in my hand. In the end, I picked up a lighter and set it on fire. The flame rose and consumed every word on the paper. It also burned away the heavy, suffocating past. Be it love, hatred, obsession or betrayal, it was all over. With Wanda gone, and with the diagnosis reduced to ashes, everything had finally faded away. What I needed to do wasn't dwell on the past.

Hearing the story of Princess Carina from his father’s journal was surely heartbreaking. The princess was scammed. She was used all over again. She was betrayed and she was set up. The most painful part was seeing her cry in front of her father in pain. She felt so dirty about herself. She’s like a sister to me. I need to gather more evidence to find her mate. The real one.

, he says as he taps me on the shoulder I turn around to look at the screen, and my eyes go wide and I curse out loud. “Fuck”, I say grabbing his tablet. I can’t believe this is fucking happening. How the fuck have we been betrayed again? Fuck fuck, I just hope that Theo managed to get Ashley and mum out of there on time. I walk fast down the corridor and open the office door without knocking I shake my head at the sight in front of me.

He rose from the chair and extended his hand to me. “Come on,” he said softly. “Let’s get you some air.” His palm was warm. Steady. An anchor. I took it. I didn’t trust my legs, but I trusted him. And that was something I never thought I’d feel again. Not after everything, not after losing Liam. But as he led me out of that conference room, fingers laced with mine, I felt something I hadn’t felt in months. A break. Until a face appeared before me.

Allison asked, then looked at me. Tito nodded before speaking again. "Stefano is my best friend, but he betrayed me. We had a business together, but he robbed me and took Annie away from me. He made up a story that caused Annie to leave me," he continued to say. "I endured the hardship for a long time because I didn't want to lower my pride just to get back to Adie. Until I couldn't take it anymore, I killed Stefano," he added, causing my eyes to widen.
