My wolf growled inside me even before I could respond to him. She was heartbroken and furious about his betrayal. We had once ached for him, ignoring all his flaws and mistakes because we loved him blindly. We convinced ourselves that no one is perfect, and at least he loved us with all his heart, but it turned out that was untrue as well.

He wrapped me, all the way around, like he could be walls and roof and the good kind of keep. “Breathe,” he whispered. “Match me.” We did. His inhale, my inhale. His exhale, my exhale. After a minute, the tight panicked flutter under my breastbone eased. The room got bigger again. “I was angry at her for a long time,” he said into my hair. “Then I was angry at myself for choosing a simpler story than the truth.” “What was the truth?” I asked. “That betrayal rarely comes with a villain’s cape.” His hand stroked the back of my neck, thumb brushing my collar. “It arrives as a favor. A shortcut. A secret told ‘to protect.’ It smiles. It believes itself generous.”

She pointed at Leonardo with trembling fingers. “You! You just killed our child with your bare hands!” Leonardo looked startled, but he quickly turned to me, panic appearing on his face as he rushed to explain. “It's not what you think, Madeline! We always used protection. There’s no way she could be pregnant with my child! “She must have slept with another mafia boss. There’s no way that thing inside her is mine!” “Leonardo, stop being disgusting.” My voice was ice-cold. “In the previous lifetime, you and Dora went to great lengths to kill me. And now you’re playing the devoted lover? You never loved me. You only cared about my family’s power and wealth.”

The expression of violent anger on James's face appeared to Damien in his nightmares. The betrayal Serena committed continues to feel like a cutting pain inside his chest.

Author’s Note to the Reader Dear Reader, What you are about to step into is not just a love story. It’s a tangled web of passion, betrayal, secrets, and the quiet ache of discovering the truth behind the people we think we know. Jacqueline’s journey is one many of us know too well, the journey of holding on when we should let go, of chasing stability while craving fire, of mistaking comfort for love. Her story unfolds in layers: through the haunting grip of her dreams, the unraveling of a once-promising engagement, and the magnetic pull of a man who exists both in her subconscious and in the shadows of her waking life.

Sera suggested. "Girl!!! Which side are you on?" Nina asked Sera. "Right!! She had always preferred Gabriella to me." Bella mumbled. "What rubbish are you saying, Bella? You're not the only one that's hurt. You are not the only one that's feeling betrayed. You are not the only one that feels played. I'm really mad and against what happened. This issue is a very sensitive one and I believe if we don't handle it the proper way, we might end up doing something that we will eventually regret."

I had to survive; I had no other choice. But the world has a way of laughing at the best-laid plans. As I walked into the office on the twentieth floor, surrounded by glass walls, he was there.

“Until he left her behind.” That hit too close to home. Abandonment. Love turned violent. Pain twisted the family. “She played the long game,” I whispered. "Stayed close to me. Learned what you felt for me. And then made sure Xavier knew when to strike.” Maximus nodded once. His face was made of stone. But I saw the crack behind his eyes. “She betrayed you to protect him,” I said. “No,” he corrected. "She betrayed you... to kill me." Later that night, Leif handed me a report with trembling hands.

" I'm a generous woman and so I'll give you a hint." " What? What are you even saying?" The woman brought her drink high and forward, signalling Josette to stop talking. " Betrayal revolves around you. Crawling out from people you least expect." She exhaled. " There's the good people who appear to be bad, the bad ones who wear no masks...but the kindest ones?" The woman stepped away from Josette, turning her back, she added. " They're the epitome of cruelty. Smiles like honey, hearts like ice, kills with warmth while beaming innocently towards the sky."

Inside was a tabloid, headline stretched across the front page in thick black letters: THE MISSING WARD RETURNS: A MARRIAGE BUILT ON LIES? The photos hit harder than the words. Elias and Lucas on the balcony. In the car. Outside the bookstore. Private moments, frozen, twisted for strangers to consume. Lucas’s stomach lurched. “How the hell did this leak?” Jesse crossed his arms, gaze sharp. “You pissed off someone with money. And power.” Elias muttered, “I’ve pissed off more than a few.” Jesse ignored him. “Whoever it is, they’ve decided your little reunion is worth burning.”
