Novel & Cerita Betrayed, Then Claimed By Fate

They would have killed him but a man in his mid forties saved him and took him in. He took care of him. He made sure Mile regained all his strength. He trained him to be strong. He taught him to fight. And only then Mile got to know that the man belongs to the Mafia. The dark side of the world. Mile could leave it if he wanted to. But he didn’t. Power.... Money.. What else one needs? He got everything after that kind man died. He gave everything to Mile. And since then his men were loyal to Mile. He met Natt during an exhibition for the business market. He was taking chances to expand his business of fruits and vegetables import export. But lost his heart.

“Do you feel it, Aria? That is fate calling to you. Take the blade, and everything will end. Isn’t that what you want?” I stared at the weapon, my heart hammering in my chest. The memory of my death still burned in my mind, vivid and raw. Darius’s betrayal—or what I had thought was betrayal—played over and over like a haunting melody. But beneath the pain, something else stirred. This wasn’t just about me. This wasn’t about fate or prophecy. This was about choice. --- I turned to face Veyron, his eyes gleaming with triumph. He thought he had won, that I was nothing more than a pawn in his twisted game. But he didn’t understand.

"I know you're scared. I know you don't trust me. But I'm trying to protect you." I just stared at him, my silence a deliberate barrier between us. "You need to prepare," he said, his voice a little more firm now. "You are to be claimed." My heart, which had just started to calm down, began to beat a frantic rhythm again. Claimed. The word was a heavy weight, a final, definitive sentence. I was no longer a person. I was a prize. And my fate was about to be decided by a battle between two men who had no idea what they were fighting for.

“When betrayal rises and fire consumes, she will return. She will be clothed in innocence, yet fire will sleep in her blood, she will stand as salvation, or as ruin, she will love you, or destroy you. You will choose, and in your choice lies the fate of all.” My throat tightened as I read the words again, slower this time, my mind dragging each one into me until I could no longer separate prophecy from reality. My chest burned with recognition, because everything the words described had already begun. Betrayal, fire, return. Paige. Could she truly be Avina reborn?

Finally, he spoke, his words deliberate, heavy with a weight that seemed to bend the very air around them. “Because,” he said quietly, “I know what it feels like to be betrayed by the one you thought fate had chosen for you.” Aria’s breath caught, her fingers tightening against the bark at her back. “You… you were betrayed?” His jaw tightened, eyes flashing with something raw—pain, anger, loss, all fused together. “Yes. By Selene.” The name cracked like thunder through the night. Aria’s entire body froze, disbelief clawing through her exhaustion. “Selene? You mean…?”

he says in embarrassment after letting go of my chin and looking away from me. “Sorry, Alex. I wasn’t aware of your feelings,” I murmur softly, my tone so sweet that even I can’t recognize my own voice. “Forget whatever I said and just do whatever feels right to you. It must be hard for you to even trust my words after being betrayed by your fated mate. Take your time, but don’t say yes to someone who doesn’t deserve you this time. I will be by your side whenever you need me. I would rather die than use your helplessness to get you,” he promises adamantly and walks away from me.

Not after everything we'd been through together. But there was no mistaking that face, those eyes, that familiar presence twisted into something monstrous. "Welcome to the future, Theo," the Serpent said, smiling. "The age of pure supernatural beings is over." I stared at the face of someone I'd trusted with my life. Someone who'd fought beside us, bled with us, earned our loyalty and love. Someone who'd been betraying us the entire time. And as the full weight of the betrayal crashed down on me, I realized Thelma's vision must have shown her this same face.

It was hoarse, and infinitely old. “Your path ahead lies in peril, but the river of fortune draws you onward. You cannot run, and you cannot stop your fate. If you do not find those who are chasing you, they will find you. If you do not destroy them, they will destroy you. You must betray yourself to save yourself. You must betray us all to save us all. The end is inevitable. Darkness will fall.” A deep and unrelenting dread coiled in my stomach, and I reached

When we reach the grave from before, I stop and release his hand. It falls to his side. I stare at the grave and avoid his face. “You were right when you said I'm selfish.” I start. “I don't know how to trust. Until now, I've never even tried to, not really, I run away, hide and avoid everyone who tries to get close to me. But there is one thing I have always trusted and that is fate. These threads that I see. They never deceive me, they show truth, good and bad. They do nothing to spare my feelings because fate doesn't care about my feelings. There are times I wish I couldn't see them at all because what I see is so heartbreaking. But despite that, I really do trust them. Completely. I trus

I smiled, it was creepy because the moment the smile hit my face, the room darkened. Every single person in the room, although they did everything in their power to make sure that they didn’t let it show, but the little sweat that clung to their skin, the way their chest involuntarily rose and fell gave them away. “You already know me well enough to know that I’m not interested in whatever excuse you have for doing it. You did it already. You betrayed me, and that’s already sealed.” I paused. “But what happens next depends on whether you walk to me or you make me walk to you. Choose the first and, I already said it, you won’t survive….”
