Novel & Cerita The Betrayal Novel

Beck hated betrayal above all else, especially the humiliation of being cheated on and made a scapegoat. Furious, he brutally beat Katie nearly to death. He also revoked all the property he had given her and sent her child to an orphanage. Penniless and desperate, Katie tried to find work, but Beck had warned every employer about her, leaving her unable to get hired. With no other options, she turned to singing in bars and relying on wealthy men for support. Eventually, one of those men's wives caught her and beat her badly once more. Katie blamed Beck for all her suffering, which ultimately drove her to carry out that day's acid attack.

That apology no longer meant anything to me. For him, perhaps, it was a form of release. Stepping out from backstage, Lea ran over and enveloped me in a bear hug. “Autie, you were amazing! Tonight, you’re the queen!” I felt my heart swell, filled to the brim. A new chapter had already begun in my life. The wounds and betrayals of the past had become badges along my path of growth, reminding me to love myself more. They also taught me to treasure the happiness that surrounds me now.

I wandered through the silent corridors of Willowbrook. Moonlight spilled through the stained-glass windows. The academy appeared peaceful. Almost ordinary. Almost. As I passed the ruins of the library, I stopped. The fire had long since been extinguished. Only blackened shelves remained. Burned pages drifted across the floor. I knelt and picked one up. Most of the writing had been destroyed. But one sentence remained intact. "The greatest betrayal is born not from hatred... but from love." A cold shiver ran down my spine. "What does that mean?"

It would be the ultimate proof. “We do it,” Anton said, opening his eyes, the decision carving itself into him. “We set the trap.” The enemy within had a name. The narrowing circle was now a noose, and Anton would personally fit it around her neck. The betrayal from within his closest circle was the deepest cut of all, but it was also the final, fatal mistake. Because now he knew where to look. And he had a ghost in the shadows, ready to follow the compass’s needle straight to its treacherous heart.

"Grandma has passed away, and this necklace was made from her ashes. How could I not jump in after she threw this necklace into the water?" Meanwhile, Sarah tugged his hand pitifully. "Hunter, didn't Jerry say that her Grandma is doing well in the hospital?" Hunter's face grew even more stormy. "Audrey! That's your own grandmother you're cursing, for God's sake! How could you curse her like that just because you're jealous of Sarah! Retrieve the necklace and apologize to Sarah!" I felt my body freeze from his betrayal. I scrambled miserably to the poolside after retrieving the necklace from the bottom of the pool.

"If there's an injustice that needs to be addressed, I'll do everything I can to resolve it. Just say the word." Hudson pressed himself as close to her as he could, his voice trembling. "I'm scared…" Rebecca clapped her hands, and someone stepped forward to remove their blindfolds. She then said to me, "Arthur, everyone involved is here. Whatever you want to do with them is your call." I looked at the people across from me, but there was no sense of satisfaction in me at all. All I felt was hatred and disgust. The moment the blindfold came off, the tension on Winona's face eased a little. She looked at me with the same unreadable calm she always had.

Daniel. The same man who helped me rebuild after Sophia left. The same man who said he was loyal for ten years. My hands curled into fists. He had been inside the building that morning. He had been in my office before the alarm.. Now I understand. This was not random. This was not revenge from outside. This was betrayal from within. The door to the security room opened behind me. I did not turn. I already knew who it was. " Morning, " Daniels' voice said calmly. I stared at the screen. At his reflection, beside her. At the proof. My heart is steady now. Too steady.

He needed an alternate plan, and he think he knew exactly what he needed to do. But first, there was something he needed to take care of. He trusted his maids and the help around the manor; he didn’t think the ones he currently had would betray him. Beatrice had been his head maid for generations and even though Petra was a flirt, and new, he still trusted her to do her job and nothing more. But they both betrayed his trust; Petra betrayed him by attempting to kill Deonna. Not to mention drugging them both. Beatrice betrayed him by knowing about the whole ordeal.

Alpha King Betrayal has taste. Hard-to-chew, fermented justification. All for the name of love. All for the name of sanity and denying the treacherous act. It doesn’t numb the tongue. Nor the body. It does more than that. Enough dosage of betrayal numbs the heart and mind from functioning its liberty to choose what its morale. What is rational. I felt so betrayed. Never felt so betrayed in my whole life until now. Until I saw what was marked over her delicate skin.

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.
