The Case Of The Betrayed Bride Novels & Stories

he says. “It doesn't matter. You would have come ten years later, and it would still be this way, Dante. My heart, it’s solely yours.” He smiles and leans in again, and our lips press together, moving as one. Once, I was the bride he bought , a woman trapped in a bargain made out of power and pride, just so we could save our parents. Now, I’m the woman he chose. And this time, it isn’t a transaction, neither is it because of anyone else.

James and Lila—the couple who turned betrayal into love. ​The audience, a studio audience with no idea of the true story, applauded. ​Lila waved, smiling, her face a perfect mask of triumph. ​And the screen cut to a graphic: ​“Lila & James – The Love That Overcame Betrayal” ​Amara didn’t move. She just sat there, staring at the phone, the cold tea cup trembling in her hand. The rage that had been a quiet simmer in her blood was now a full, roaring fire.

A gesture for Sadie who hid somewhere around here to bring out the ultimate proof of the betrayal. Every screen at the venue flickered to life. They were meant to show our love story—our baby pictures, proposal, vacations. Instead? High-definition hotel security footage. Ezra. Meredith. Hallways. Kisses. Hands. Doors closing. Lights flickering. Frame after frame of betrayal. My mother fainted. Someone screamed. The crowd split like oil on fire. Sebastian moved to catch our mother before she hit the ground, calling out for help. But even then, his eyes never left the screen.

When she could finally speak, she looked at Billy with red eyes. “Billy, I’m sorry. I’ve been hiding something from you.” Billy looked at her seriously. “What do you mean?” Giselle swallowed hard, her voice shaking. “I… I was involved in a contract marriage with Mr. Leon De Santos.” Billy froze for several seconds, as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. “What… did you say?” Giselle nodded slowly. “Yes, Billy. Leon—the man everyone calls a ruthless mafia—he’s my husband. But only on paper.”

he whispered into her ear. Noticing her stiff body, he smirked, “According to the contract, you are expected to be submissive to me as your husband. But have no fear, my dear wife, by tomorrow it will be official and we will both have a nice time together.” he concluded and left the room. Aria shuddered. She did not remember reading that in the contract since she didn't really read it. She was so taken away by the prospect of ultimately having to revenge herself that she had no idea what she was signing up for.

She couldn't see his expression, but she understood the pain of being left alone. They both were ridiculed, abandoned and betrayed by their potential partners. After a moment of reflection, a determined look settled in Valeria's eyes. She had loved James for three years, but he had betrayed her. Why should she remain loyal to him after that? She realized she didn't need to be with him at all. All eyes instinctively focused on her in the arcade, as she lifted the hem of her dress and confidently walked toward the man in the wheelchair. “Excuse me, sir?” The sight of a bride in a white wedding dress approaching left the man's guests equally stunned.

"She was so angry at us and this time, I'm not sure she would ever forgive us for this." BACK TO LILLIAN'S ROOM Lillian threw her phone on the bed and groaned for the third time. She has been trying her brother's number but it wasn't going through. She just needed someone she could talk to and a shoulder to cry on. How could her parents betray her this way? Forcingly sending her to Spain wasn't enough for them? And now, they decided to marry her off? No, she wasn't going to give in to this. She would do everything within her power to prevent this and that was for sure.

”No no, we agreed I would be the one to say it,” Cole groaned and shook his head. ”Before you came here, Aiden and Cole made a little bet about you,” she stopped, letting the words sink and I moved my hands from table as I waited for her to continue. It started as pebble in my gut but it grew with every word she spoke. ”He was so angry and disappointed about having to marry you that Cole came up with this game to make it more…endurable. They made a bet to see if he could get you to submit before the year ended. If he could get the spoiled little princess to fall to her knees and kiss his feet. Too make you fall in love; head over heels for him and give your heart to him. The bet was cash, a

His black coat flaying behind him because of the wind,he lurched towards her a small smirk on his lips. "Brave," he scoffed "Where's my daughter?! What have you done to her,you bastard?!!" she threw her legs to kick at him because her arms were bound by his men but still she didn't reach him. "Do you really have no idea or are you pretending?" he asked "Your foolish husband gave my betrothed to some other man who disguised as me" Layla's eyes widened,her struggles stopped for a moment but she soon came over it as she was grateful to whoever did that

“Whoa! Isn't he crazy? How could he frame the bride on her first wedding night?! Oh Lord! Even her husband is crazier! How could he trust someone he just met more than his wife? Crazy, they're all crazy!” Sena remembered one of the soap opera scenes she had watched with her mother. The scene where someone deliberately hires a foreign man to enter the bridal chamber and traps the bride as if she is having an affair right on her first wedding night. Unfortunately, in that soap opera, the woman's husband takes her for granted and thinks his wife is having an affair and then divorces the poor woman. Since that day, everyone labeled the bride as an unfaithful woman, making her shunned by many peo
