Should I Betray Dex の小説・ストーリー

"Consider it a bonus job. Fifty thousand if you eliminate him within the next twenty-four hours. And Dmitri, make it painful. Make it a message." "What kind of message?" "The kind that reminds everyone what happens to those who betray their pack." Selene set down the phone and stared at her reflection in the mirror. The woman looking back at her was beautiful, poised, perfect. No one would ever suspect the darkness that lurked beneath the surface. She'd come too far to turn back now. Too many bodies, too many lies, too many schemes all built on top of each other like a house of cards. If it all came crashing down, she'd be destroyed.

The priest cleared his throat and, steeling himself, began the vows: “Mr. Ethan Shaw, do you take the lady before you… to be your wife, to love and honor her, in wealth and in poverty, in sickness and in health, until the end of your days?” All eyes were on Ethan. Meanwhile, I sat with my best friend Lea Summers in a nearby café, watching the ceremony via live stream. Lea gripped my hand nervously. “Autie… what do you think he’ll choose?” I set down my coffee calmly. Yes… what would he choose? To be with the woman he’d claimed was his greatest regret, the first love he had owed ten years to? Or to choose me—the girlfriend he had deceived for a decade, yet whose family background could give h

I even started doubting myself, thinking maybe I was just being irrational after all the trauma. Now that I had a second chance at life, I was determined to reveal his true colors to everyone. The nurse brought the phone over. Julian noticed and tried to stop me. "Get the patient onto the delivery bed and move her in," he ordered his assistant. "Don't worry," he said, gripping my hand tight. "Lexi, your condition is very serious. Only I can save you." As if! Without me, how would he ever swap babies for his first love? "Honey…" I softened my voice, pretending to give in, my tone almost pitiful. "Before I deliver, I just want to call my parents. You wouldn't refuse, right?"

How could you betray us like this? Shirley lowered her head and looked like she wanted to disappear on the spot. "Just yesterday Keith told me you were someone trustworthy. He insisted he was going to marry you. How could you do this to him? "Please never come to our house again. And stay away from Keith from now on!" By the time Shirley was taken away by the police, her face had gone pale. Right before leaving, she finally dropped the act and glared at me viciously. 'Keith, just wait. I'll make your life a living hell!'

Silas threw the boots. Ava caught them against her chest without looking up from the suture she was practicing on rubber skin. "Get ready," he said. "You’re coming with me to the pit." Ava replied "You said not to—" "I know what I said." He was already moving grabbing supplies, stuffing them into a canvas bag. "You’ll be counting bets tonight. Please try not to be bad at it. Don't steal."

, if I stop giving him information..”“He’ll pull the funding.”“And she dies.” Mia looks at me with desperation that cuts deeper than any knife. “So what am I supposed to do? Betray you and damn myself? Or save you and kill my mother?”It’s the question I’ve been waiting for. The moment of truth.“There’s a third option.”“What?”I cross the room, stop in front of her. Close enough to touch but I don’t.“You work with me. Feed Austin fake information. Let him think his plan is working. I’ll pay for your mother’s treatment, all of it. Every dollar. She gets the best care money can buy.”“Why would you do that?”“Because seven years ago, you saved my life. Consider this repayment.”Mia stares at me lik

"The Aphrodisiac Curse was fake. The pregnancy was fake. My wife's betrayal was a lie. The doll was planted. Jennifer, what part of you is real?" She blurted out, "That's impossible! Those symptoms, I spent a fortune getting them from Southvale…" She clamped her hand over her mouth, eyes wide with horror. But it was too late. Everyone had heard it. "Southvale?" Scott let out a quiet laugh, empty of warmth. "So that's it. You paid good money for a fake curse and staged all of this." Above his head, the number representing his affection for her plummeted. It dropped from 85 to 70… 50… 30…

Pressing my palm on the steering wheel, I leaned my head back and shook it. You're your biggest betrayal. I didn't know why I was paying attention to them then Ajay's word. He insulted me. Clearly shoved it on my face and I said nothing to defend myself. I thought about all the previous memories I had, realizing I rarely defended myself when those filthy words were uttered. Was Dhruv right? Did I pretend to respect myself? Sanchi don't believe his words. My mind was right. I shouldn't believe his words. If I did I didn't know what would happen and what I might lose after that. Believing him was the straight road to destruction and broken will.

“Yes! Alpha.” “Now that I have conquered Fire Cross Pack. I now have two Betas. I don’t know much about the Beta of Fire Cross Pack, but the way each and every pack member listen to him. I can tell that he is a good Beta for them, and you’re also the Beta of this pack. So, after merging the pack, things will get quite complicated for me if I will have to choose any of you as Beta. That’s why I’m talking to you directly about it. Would you mind if I will demote you? Be clear about your answer so that it will be easier for me to decide. You don’t have to act good or listen to my order to build a good image in front of me.”
