Romance Books With Betrayal Novels & Stories

For taking care of me when my mother died. And yet, there’s Dante. Dante Moretti. The man I promised to marry. The man whose presence I cannot ignore, even if I want to. I don’t want love. I don’t want him. But I won’t lie, my body reacts when I think of him. Desire, irritation, caution, all tangled together in a way I can’t separate. I push it down, focus on Aurelia’s hands on my hair, the soft click of her heels on the marble. She smiles, proud and confident, and I feel the weight of the role I’m about to play.

The thought of spending the rest of her life with Alexandro, a man she barely knew, was suffocating. She longed for the freedom to choose her destiny, find her true love and build a life of her own. But now, those dreams seemed so far out of reach. Clara was filled with a sense of betrayal and heartbreak. She had always believed in love and the power of true companionship, but now she was being forced into a loveless marriage. She couldn't bear the thought of spending the rest of her life with someone she didn't love. The weight of her family's expectations and obligations had crushed her spirit, leaving her feeling helpless and alone.

Nervous as she was, Daisy never forgot the words that he shouted to her on their wedding night. "You won't have me even if you married me. You are just my wife as stated on a piece of paper. My heart and my love will never belong to you. You drugged me in order to have sex with me. How dare you! I promise I'll never let such a thing happen again!" The man said angrily.

He tore up the proposal she had printed and started to spout venom. “That fucker Kilian, he wants to play, well then let’s play. Call all the agents who work in the Newcastle City, tell them I want Philip, his wife and their child dead. By tonight. Then book a return flight for me to San Francisco for a week.” Lucy gasped softly. He was leaving, just as Andre said. It was then she realized her mistake. She had betrayed her sister again and now, the man she loved, was betraying her. “Take me with you.” Lucy said. “Out of the question.” “I guess when you meet up with your wife and kids, there is no room for the office whore right?” “Lucy…” Ben said in a no-nonsense tone.

My whole body shivered uncontrollably. Ian… How could he? Out there, with another woman? And so recklessly that it landed them in a hospital? The realization was like a blow to the gut. My breath hitched painfully, and I clung to the wall for support. Why did I have to find out like this—while carrying his child? Why did he have to betray me, especially today, of all days? Valentine's Day. Suddenly, a sharp, stabbing pain gripped my belly. I bent over, barely able to stay on my feet, while the voices around me continued unabated.

The betrayal hit me right in my heart, and I struggled to believe. On the other end, Kayla, whom I thought was just harmless despite the grudge she has, will cause much havoc. Knowing fully well that Lucas was her stepfather now, she still had the guts to indulge. Or was it Lucas that influenced her decision into that lifestyle? Within me, I was just confused that I could decipher the answers from the questions my mind throws at me. While battling hard to suppress my emotions about this betrayal, my phone rang, and it was Lucas. Instantly, I became furious and decided to leave my phone for secure peace of mind.

"It would be cruel to have something you believed was yours taken away." The two women lock gazes, and Mina knows in that moment that Jade's appearance and the way she hangs onto Alastor is just for her. An act of possession to lay claim to the man she is promised to have forever. Mina can't really blame her, not as a diplomat, but as a wolf destined to be Alastor's mate, it makes her hackles rise.

The couple shifted uncomfortably, drowning in shame but unable to say a word in their defense. Finally, Alexander beckoned to Evelyn. She approached cautiously, her heart pounding. "How long have you known about their betrayal?" he asked, his voice slightly gentler than before. Roman smoothly stepped forward to answer. "Father, Evelyn is a good girl who didn't want to disappoint you. She discovered their affair three months ago but suffered in silence. I met her when she was devastated and trying to drink away her pain. I was also under the influence and took advantage of her vulnerability. When I learned she was pregnant with my child, I knew I had to take responsibility. That's the real re

The girl looking back at me was different. “No more naïve Mrs.,” I said quietly. “I’m the heiress of the Avila Cooperative.” “And I win.” Pain burned behind my eyes. Betrayal by love. Betrayal by proximity. At least Dad still had someone loyal. Mr Peter. I didn’t. I opened my drawer and took out my red lipstick. One by one, I cut out the men in suits from the photos. I pasted their faces onto the mirror. Under each face, I wrote:

PRESENT DAY [I snapped back to reality, my heart heavy but my mind made up] The memory left a bitter taste in my mouth. I wrapped my arms around myself, hating how raw I felt. Hating that Cassian knew the moment to swoop in. Hating how cold he's treating me compared to the warmth he gave that night. Hating that even now, months later, he could still rattle me. I still didn’t know why he left that night. And now, out of nowhere, he wanted me to marry him, on paper, at least. Be his shield and weapon. His partner in a war I didn’t fully understand. But if he thought I was still that broken girl, he was wrong. Cassian Wolfe may have saved me once. But this time, I’d save myself, and drag the tr
