When Love Betrays Novels & Stories

“I know you never loved me. I know you used me to get an heir. And that is fine. We will try again, and I will give you what you want.” Aspen saw that Kailin stopped himself from responding when he saw that their argument had attracted some attention. It was then he realised that Raven had been pulling him into a trap all along. His eyes carried the pain of betrayal, something Aspen was too familiar with and with a subtle shake of his head, he said to Raven, “You won't get away with this. Whatever you are planning, you won't succeed in doing it.” He walked away and as he moved, Aspen's eyes followed him till she couldn't see him anymore.

Azerbel looked at both of them for a long moment. Then finally shook her head. “It’s not your fault,” she said softly. “You don’t need to apologize.” And she meant it. Mostly. Slowly, Azerbel began opening herself to them again. Laughing a little more. Talking a little more. Pretending things were returning to normal. But deep inside... something had already changed. Because once trust shattered deeply enough... love alone could not fully put it back together. If the two people she trusted most had been capable of betraying her in the cruelest way possible...

His grip on my wrist tightened. "No I am not." I gritted through my teeth. "Yes you are! Look into my eyes and say that you don't love me." I froze at that. How could I even lie facing him? "Say it Bella, say that you don't love me. Look at me and say it." I took deep breaths. I had to do this. Turning back I looked right into his eyes and said it. The most dreadful words of my life. "I. Don't. Love. You. Evan. Lewis." My heart constricted at the look on Evan's face. He had a look of pure shock, hurt and pain. His eyes glistened and he was trying hard to keep it in.

she said. I was over the moon that Chrissy had said that. I felt like I had finally won her over. But then I thought about what she had actually said and I felt really sad. How was I the only one that had shown Gabriel love? As soon as Chrissy left, I went to bed and held Gabriel, feeling my heart break for him. “I love you so much, Harper,” he said groggily, wrapping his arms around me. I kissed his head and squeezed him harder.

Instead, I had witnessed betrayal of a far more sinister kind. I replayed the horrific scene: the figures in the gloom, the sudden violence, the flash of something metallic. Not a simple robbery. Something organized. Something gruesome. That night, everything shattered. My idyllic love story was over, replaced by a gruesome reality, and I made a solemn vow: not to fall in love again. Love was the crack in the armor that let the poison in.

“I had nothing. No parents and nobody to take care of me. Everything I got I got by myself. I worked until my hands bled, until my legs couldn't stand anymore and then I worked some more after that. I worked hard to be accepted into a place I had no business being in, in a college few were fortunate to even be in, spending sleepless nights and praying every night for a chance. And finally I did it.” “And then I fell in love, and I made friends who I loved and trusted. Unlike what you may think, I didn't try to ‘use’ any of them. I didn't even dare take money. I was just grateful that they were by my side, like the family I never had. And I thought everything would be okay until I was met wit

"Look at how easily you said that." "Are you up to something again? Are you trying to mock me in front of the whole world again?" Natalie's voice trembled with fury, tears streaming down her cheeks as she gestured with pain. Her face contorted in anguish as she struggled to contain the torrent of emotions threatening to overwhelm her. "I-I can explain," he said, tears streaming down his face as he stumbled closer to her. "There is no explanation that can justify what you did to me," she said as she took a step backward. "You betrayed me. You betrayed everything we ever had. The promises were all fake," she said, her voice breaking as she struggled to breathe.

“I know I was wrong. I know I failed to be the man who could protect you. But I never meant to betray you. I was just… foolish, too blinded by other people’s lies.” Rosemary let out a long breath and brushed the headstone with trembling fingers. “My mother always told me that someone who truly loves you will stand by your side even when the world turns against you. But what did you do, Adrian? When the world laughed at me, when my family cast me out, when I lost my grandfather… you doubted me too. That’s not love. That’s betrayal.” Adrian stepped closer, but Rosemary immediately raised her hand, signaling him to stop. “I don’t want you any nearer. Speak from there.”

He had looked genuinely lost. And that scared her. Because despite the betrayal… she had loved him once. She sank into the plush couch, clutching one of the velvet cushions to her chest. She hated this vulnerability. She had worked so hard to become someone stronger. Someone colder. Someone who could walk into a room and own it. But tonight had shaken her. "Do I still have feelings for him?" Her throat tightened. Maybe a part of her had never really let go. Maybe it had been easier to bury the pain than to face it. Chris had been her first love, her longest relationship. The one she had imagined a future with.

She wasn’t part of the inner circle. How did she know about my supposed wedding? Startled, I tapped into Leonardo’s Facebook profile.
