Betrayal Behind the Scenes Chapter 62
The news about Keenan's expedited execution was broadcast this morning. Everyone was surprised that his death penalty would be carried out so soon.Catherine, Svarga, and their family watched the news on television. "What happened? Wasn't there still a two-week period before the execution was scheduled?""There might have been something that happened there. They say they might expedite or extend the sentence if the convict does something bad while in the cell," said Noel.Catherine shook her head. Despite her negative view of Keenan, she knew he could remain calm even in dire situations. Keenan would only revolt if his enemies made the first move."Could this be related to Shena or Arsila?" Catherine wondered.On the television broadcast, Keenan was shown being transferred by a police van to a unique facility for executions, along with other convicts. Keenan was found guilty of attempting to murder Catherine, resulting in the death of her unborn child and also of torturing Dhira.Toda

In November, three women, at different times and places, groaned together in the presence of doctors assisting their childbirth. Arsila and Shena gave birth in a police hospital, while Catherine delivered her baby in a hospital with comprehensive facilities and exceptional service.Shena delivered a daughter who weighed 3.2 kg, Arsila gave birth to a male who weighed 4.2 kg, and Catherine gave birth to a girl who weighed 3.0 kg. All were healthy except for Shena's baby, who appeared very pale and had to be immediately transferred to another location right after being born.Meanwhile, Arsila gazed with satisfaction at her baby boy, whose face was a spitting image of the late Keenan. Her longing felt soothed as she looked at the baby's features."My little Keenan. Welcome to this world, Keanu Hart. You will live to serve your mother," Arsila said, kissing the baby's face.Now, she only needed to decide who would care for her son during the 20 years she would be in prison. She could only

A man wearing a graduation gown from a prestigious university, with a graduation cap on his head, stepped down from the stage with a beaming smile. He jogged towards a woman in her 60s and immediately hugged her."Congratulations," said Ester, the woman, as she kissed both cheeks of Keanu Hart—a 24-year-old man who had graduated on time with the distinction of summa cum laude."Where's my mother? She came, right?" Keanu asked about Arsila, who was not with Ester."Your mother went to a fashion show, Karletta," Ester replied, causing the smile on Keanu's face to fade slowly.This was nothing new; Arsila had never celebrated Keanu for any of his achievements in life. Only Ester, the woman who had cared for him with all her heart for the past 22 years, as if he were her child."Well then, let's go to the fashion show!" Keanu suggested, pretending to be enthusiastic.Ester lightly tapped Keanu's shoulder. "I've already cooked a meal for you. Let's celebrate with some roasted bacon and a c

"WHAT KIND OF FATE IS THIS?!" Charlotte exclaimed dramatically as they accidentally crossed paths in the corridor near the restroom.Today was Keanu's first day interviewing at High Cosme, Inc., a cosmetics company known as one of the Oweis family's subsidiaries.Keanu sighed, trying not to avoid the company's main heir because, as his mother had insisted, he needed to be accepted for the job."I guess... you're applying for a job, right? Ah, you'll definitely be a successful candidate," Charlotte said, surprising Keanu."The results haven't been announced yet, but thank you for giving me something to hope for," Keanu replied."Then let's have coffee together. The weather's been chilly lately, making me a bit sleepy—""Thank you, Charlotte, but—""No, no, no... you can't refuse me this time. I want us to sit together as the top alumni from the same university," Charlotte insisted, leaving Keanu with no reason to decline further.They went to a café not far from the company's building.

Raindrops in the quiet afternoon wet the clean windowpane, occasionally accompanied by birds seeking shelter in a prism-shaped vent. Catherine sought solitude, causing the people in the house to search for her frantically. Svarga's voice echoed repeatedly, calling her name, but she seemed to turn a deaf ear. Years after that incident, this was the first time she felt uneasy again.Something she thought was over and would never resurface suddenly disturbed her mind. She had never felt this unsettled before, as if something threatened her the moment that name was mentioned again."Hart? Keanu Garvield Hart?"Several times, Catherine tried to reassure herself that this Hart was not the same Hart as Keenan from the past."Keenan is dead; he couldn't have passed his name on to his children, but if he did... that would mean Arsila did it deliberately," she muttered."What should I do? Should I ask Charlotte to keep her distance from him?" Catherine shook her head, knowing full well that her

"Mom!" Keanu shouted, his voice causing Charlotte to open her eyes wide, a slight smile forming on her lips."What are you doing here?" Keanu looked worried, even more so when he saw his mother—Arsila—talking to Charlotte.Arsila's eyes sparkled with meaning, which only made Keanu more anxious. His thoughts raced, wondering why his mother was with Charlotte and how Charlotte ended up here."It seems someone got lost here," Arsila said. "Their car had a flat tire, and I scolded them for blocking the road. I wasn't wrong, was I?"No, she wasn't wrong, but the look in Arsila's eyes made Keanu confident that what happened to Charlotte wasn't just a coincidence. He could see his mother's intense gaze directed at his friend, and Charlotte, of course, had no suspicion."I offered them to come to our house. I was worried they might be cold. Maybe a cup of hot chocolate and—""No need, Mom. There's nothing to worry about. They can take care of themselves," Keanu said, trying to prevent Charlot

Keanu released his mother's embrace and stepped back a few paces. He said, "Mother, you shouldn't talk like that! Let me be clear, I will obey you, but that doesn't mean I have to follow every one of your requests."Arsila's body tensed; she felt like exploding with anger. Her hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white, and her jaw tightened, ready to unleash a torrent of insults directed at her son."Charlotte is not an ordinary person; she is incredibly detailed, observing everything with sharp attention, even though her face remains calm.""Mother, I know things about her that you don't. You might understand the general outline of her life, but not the small, almost imperceptible movements that I notice every day."Keanu took firm steps, leaving Arsila on the verge of exploding. Arsila threw a glass at the door as soon as he closed it. The sound of shattering glass was piercing, and fortunately, Keanu moved quickly.This wasn't the first time Arsila had lost her temper.

Charlotte's brow furrowed. "Ma, why are you saying this? What's wrong with--""I won't repeat myself. I know you as a warm woman, but your heart is very cold toward the opposite sex.""Mind your behavior and don't go overboard with people who have nothing to do with you. Keanu is your friend, right? He's also an employee in your company, so act professionally!""I don't want Jarvey and his family thinking you're toying with them because you can't manage your conduct!"Charlotte was stunned. She stepped forward slowly, but Catherine's voice stopped her from getting closer."Your father and I have allowed you to be friends with anyone, even inviting Keanu to dinner with us... but your behavior today makes me want to cancel everything. I don't want my beloved future son-in-law to be disappointed in the future."Charlotte was taken aback, her heart racing, her eyes stinging with tears, and she quickly turned and left her parents' room.She couldn't comprehend why her mother thought she ha

After three days of being hospitalized, Keanu was allowed to go home. The doctor also provided several therapy schedules to ensure he received optimal care until his shoulder was fully healed.As for the house gifted to him, Charlotte and Jarvey gave Keanu a house in Les Halles and another to Karletta in Louvre so she could be closer to Glass Glory for her work.On Charlotte’s advice, Devon accepted Keanu as his business partner. He had known Keanu for a long time and recognized his integrity and outstanding intelligence.“My heart is pounding,” said Karletta as she helped Keanu button up his jacket.“Why?”“Tomorrow is my first day as a grade A trainee at Glass Glory. I thought Mrs. Catherine would put me in grade C with the other newcomers. I didn’t expect her to assess my performance and all the awards I’ve received,” Karletta said.“That means you’ll debut faster, right?” Keanu asked.“Exactly, which is why my heart is racing. But what makes it beat the fastest is… Mrs. Catherine

Svarga visited Keanu after Easton mentioned that Keanu was awake and ready for visitors. Svarga's smile made Keanu lower his head, and he felt embarrassed in his presence."I thought you'd be asleep again," Svarga said. "How are you feeling now? Did Easton mess with your head after talking to him?"Keanu nodded. "A little. He almost confused me."Svarga didn't press further. "Charlotte and Jarvey will visit you this afternoon. They had to go to the police station to settle some matters from last night.""Will Emily be imprisoned?" Keanu asked, lifting his head slightly."With all the evidence you provided, it's inevitable. Emily and her family will face punishment in the Netherlands, not in this country," Svarga replied.Keanu sighed with relief. "I thought they might use their power to cover up their crimes.""It's not simple, son. You have given us a lot of information, much of which we don't even know. The evidence you presented shows there were many flaws they were trying to hide,

Keanu slowly opened his eyes. He had just woken up after eight hours, his first time regaining consciousness since the operation. His gaze immediately shifted toward the window, where he saw Devon and Karletta talking with their arms crossed.Keanu smiled softly, straightening his body, which felt sore and painfully stiff. The sound of the creaking bed drew Devon and Karletta's attention toward him. They both rushed to his side, their faces beaming with relief because Keanu was finally awake."Hey," Karletta greeted as she wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.Devon adjusted the bed's headrest to a 45-degree angle to make Keanu more comfortable. "Should I call the doctor?""No need. I'm fine," Keanu replied. "I just want something to drink."Karletta quickly grabbed a water bottle and handed it to her older brother. "I've heard everything. How are you feeling now? I've been avoiding a lot of people outside asking about your condition. Thankfully, Mrs. Catherine has been watchi

"HEY!" Jarvey shouted a bit loudly. "YOU'RE AWAKE?!""Annoying...." Keanu replied, then shifted his aching body. "Ah, this is such a hassle." The man slowly opened his eyes and looked at his shoulder wrapped in thick bandages.Charlotte stood tall, her eyes shining with tears streaming down her face. She pressed the emergency button, and shortly after, a doctor and a nurse entered the room."KEANU IS AWAKE!" Charlotte shouted excitedly, then she and Jarvey were asked to leave the room at the doctor’s request.Outside, Catherine, observing them all along, smiled with satisfaction, relieved that Keanu had finally opened his eyes after hours of sleeping post-surgery."Mama, you were right! Keanu is so strong. Look, he's awake now!" Charlotte exclaimed.Catherine hugged Charlotte back, tears in her eyes, too, eager for the doctor to let them see Keanu.After 15 minutes of examination, the doctor permitted them to enter but on the condition that they be quiet, as the effects of the anesthe

Emily and her parents were taken into custody by the police, and their case will be forwarded to a Dutch court. Today, they are being held in detention and waiting to be collected. They have been stripped out of these clothes and put into detention uniforms, each in an isolated cell — comparatively more comfortable than those where other detainees are lodged.Lucius instructed some colleagues to stand guard until the Dutch legal team arrived for mediation. "I have to go and check on the other guests. Some people being questioned have confessed that they were paid by Emily to support their engagement event and to prepare the plans they had in place if the event had gone successfully."Lucius then said they were all still planning on setting Noah up to ruin his career as well, and he wanted Lucius there in case something went south with being able to pin a significant failing of Noah's that goes right back around through him onto Emily’s parents.“Liam, you take him, and the rest of us

Everyone screamed hysterically, including Charlotte, who instinctively shouted and hugged the person protecting her."KEANU!" Charlotte's voice trembled violently, one hand pressed against the blood gushing from Keanu's shoulder.Charlotte cried almost hysterically, calling out for anyone who would help. People rushed over to her; some hurriedly called for an ambulance while Lucius moved Keanu's body to a chair, using the thick fabric of his coat to cover the bleeding.The Chandra family guards restrained Emily, preventing her from escaping, and blocked access to ensure none of her accomplices could flee. About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived, and Keanu was quickly rushed to the hospital.Charlotte, overwhelmed with emotion, held back sobs as she glared at Emily, her blood-stained hand pointing at her without saying a word, making Emily utterly terrified.Charlotte's gaze then shifted to Emily's parents, filled with an unbearable grudge, before she spoke, "I will make your da
Betrayal Behind the Scenes Chapter 144
Emily was terrified, and so were her parents. The couple accompanying Emily knelt before Catherine, begging for forgiveness like sinners fearing the gates of hell. Their actions, however, only raised questions among everyone present—what were they hiding that caused them to be so afraid?But Emily's reaction was different. She refused to beg Catherine for mercy like her parents had done. "You think you can do anything to me? I’m already engaged to Jarvey. Now ask my fiancé whom he will choose."Jarvey pulled Charlotte close, holding her hand tightly and showing everyone his answer. His actions naturally stoked Emily's fury even more."Fine, you're challenging me, huh? Then I’ll make your parents pay for everything!" Emily screamed in frustration. She grabbed Havella by the hair and dragged her away, prompting Noah to rush after his wife.Emily’s actions shocked many, including the media crew that Catherine had allowed to cover Emily’s event.The onlookers were horrified as they watche

All eyes were on the figure in the red dress, flaunting her beautiful curves. She wore matching red gloves that only covered her palms, and a black fascinator adorned her straight, flowing hair. Charlotte embodied the definition of luxurious beauty in the eyes of the wealthy elite. She smiled kindly at those who recognized her, while some deliberately hid, not wanting to be labelled as traitors for attending and supporting Jarvey’s wedding to another woman."Miss Charlotte, it's a pleasure to meet you," a man greeted her. He was the event moderator and a businessman whose company had Svarga as an investor."Hi, Karlos. Nice to see you, too. I guess you successfully united the couple today. Where are they?" Charlotte asked, her eyes scanning for Jarvey and Emily.Karlos didn’t answer. Sweat dripped down his body, his face pale. Soon after, Jarvey came running down from the second floor, tears streaming down his face upon seeing Charlotte. He rushed toward her and embraced her tightly.

Charlotte stood in front of the mirror, spending hours in this boutique, clearly excited despite her incredibly chaotic emotions. She could remain calm because Keanu and Devon were with her, offering comfort without hesitation.“Hey?” Devon greeted her as he entered the dressing room after the boutique staff called for him, allowing him to see Charlotte.For a moment, Devon was stunned by seeing the woman in a knee-length red dress. Charlotte had purposely chosen a bolder colour as a symbol of defiance against her heartbreak.“Devon, what do you think? Is my appearance enough? Do I look beautiful? I feel like the stitching around the waist makes me look a bit thinner,” Charlotte rambled.Devon exhaled and shook his head, feeling satisfied with Charlotte’s appearance. The undeniable aura of wealth radiated from her; Charlotte always looked luxurious in whatever she wore.“You’re beautiful,” Devon said, a simple sentence that never seemed to satisfy Charlotte.“Ah, I’m not sure.”“You’r
