Beyond the betrayal Chapter 46
DORIAN'S POV "You're so strong, Dorian," She moaned as she closed her eyes. Her red eyes made me hard again. I felt the urge to grab her and eat her for the fifth time but she looked so weak already. She couldn't even keep her eyes open, and by the time I was through, I could tell she already slept off. I touched her pretty, flawless face with a big smile on my face. This was probably the biggest smile I had shown in years, and I was really satisfied. My heart felt filled and even my stomach wouldn't grumble, despite not taking anything for almost two days. "Anna," I called. "Hm," She replied. I could tell she was fast asleep. "Good Night," I mumbled and ruffled her hair before laying in bed too. Not long after, I closed my eyes and dozed off too. A yawn escaped my lips as I opened my eyes. I rubbed my face repeatedly and yawned again. Checking the time, I realized it was around 6 in the morning which was surprising as it was the first time in years that I slept so much

ANNA'S POV My hands searched the bed, seemingly checking for the presence of Dorian who was supposed to be sleeping beside me. Well... The reason I had my eyes closed was because I was shy. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes and look at him, I felt like I might turn all red and show him how embarrassed I was. My words... Everything I said to him yesterday was still very fresh in my mind and I remembered it all. My pleadings... Damn! I bit my lower lip and suppressed the urge to scream. But wait, where is he? I searched more, but he was nowhere to be found, and I frowned slightly. I turned around to search behind me but it was still the same. Only then did I believe that he wasn't in bed, but what if he was staring at me at the moment? No, I would just dig a place in the sand and hide! I peeled my eyes open and searched around, but just as I wanted, he wasn't staring at me. However, that also made me worried. I continued looking around until my eyes landed on the bathroo

DANIEL'S POV I watched as Anna walked away from me. The look on her face made me realize she would never love me back and she might never want to have anything to do with me anymore. I felt frustrated and sad. This was the woman I had fallen in love with. I'd been a playboy for a very long time, and I thought I had forgotten how to love someone, but the moment I met her, I knew she was the one for me, and I decided to make her mine no matter what. Moreover, she was single, and I knew how good-looking I was. Not to even talk about my pocket but who would have thought that she wouldn't even give me the chance to prove myself? I only kissed her once and she acted as if I had fucked her. What was that for? Was she so disgusted by me that she couldn't even hide it? I let out a deep breath and lowered my eyes, trying to settle the sadness and anger from within me. Hours went by, but I still couldn't calm down, and after the call from Dorian about the warning, my anger increased. So, sh

ANNA'S POV I stared at the message with a racing heart, and I could feel my face turning red. He knew? He knew what? I swallowed hard as my fingers trembled, making me almost drop my phone~ "What's it, Anna?" Brenda's voice rang in my ears and I raised my eyes to meet hers. My lips trembled and my eyes were a bit blurry. I shook my head without much thought and bowed gently. "I should leave now," I told her and instead of waiting for her to say more, I turned around and left. Entering my office, I rested on the door and placed a hand on my chest, trying to control my emotions. Daniel might not know anything, he might only be doing this because of the way I turned him down. I shouldn't be scared, I shouldn't think about it. I tried many things to calm myself and even said a few words to myself before I was finally able to let out a cool breath. I walked over to my desk and dropped my bag, after which I started my work for the day. The day was somehow boring; it was the usual

DORIAN'S POV As expected, the day was filled with work with no breathing face. I left the office very late at night, and by the time I got home, I found it even harder to open my eyes. However, a face wouldn't stop playing in my head, and knowing that I wasn't able to speak to her throughout the day, I decided to give her a call first. The phone rang severally but there was no answer which bothered me a little. I dropped the phone and had a shower, checked my phone again before I fell into bed, and slept for the night. Getting to the office the next morning, the work continued, but my heart wasn't settled. The work wasn't going well and I couldn't even bring myself to work on some of the paperwork. I picked up my phone to make a call, and not long after, the door opened, revealing Brenda, who also looked stressed because of the piled-up work, making me feel a little guilty. "What are you doing right now?" I asked her. Brenda walked over and bowed a bit, she looked a bit res

ANNA'S POV Work continued as usual but things weren't as it used to be. Even Katt no longer visits my office as she wasn't okay with the attention of everyone on her. Knowing her introverted self, that was to be expected and I wasn't angry at her at all. I understood her very well. If I were the one, I would try to minimize my visit to the person too, as I wouldn't be used to all the attention around the person,n, but it felt lonely. Brenda and Dorian were the only ones who were free enough to talk to me in the office but that too wasn't very encouraging. Being alone was annoying, it was very annoying and it made me wonder if it was all worth it. My phone wouldn't stop ringing either. Daniel would call and send text messages. There was even a day he asked me to come to him as that was the only way he would let me be. He asked me to do what he wanted, and he would sort things out so nothing would affect both Dorian and me. I was glad and immediately asked him what he wanted, thinki

DANIEL'S POVI checked my phone but there was still no response even after I could see that she read the message. I had given her a choice, I would even let her be with Dorian if she could satisfy me. She just needed to answer whenever I called her, make me happy and she would be happy with Dorian too. That was all she needed to do but she ignored my text. It was as if she wasn't scared of what I could do to her or did she think I wouldn't dare do anything to her just because she knew I had some feelings for her?I scoffed and nodded my head. Yeah, right. She was right about the feelings I had for her, but if she thought that was enough to not do anything to her, then that would be crazy because I would do something to her. Not just something but a lot!I dropped the phone and decided to wait a little longer. There was a lot of time to wait and even more time to ruin her after!After a few hours of waiting with no reply or even her presence, I picked up my phone and dialed a number.

ANNA'S POV It was terrible before but for the past few hours, things seemed to have escalated. Even without wanting to listen, I could hear the voices of my colleagues, they were all talking about something which I knew was related to me. All sorts of names were being mentioned, insults flew in the air as if they had no care in the world about my feelings, and when I couldn't take it anymore, I walked toward Katt's office, where I saw her pacing around in her office. I walked in and her eyes flashed when she saw me, "Anna, Are you okay?" She asked as she walked over to me. Her lips were trembling. I nodded my head, even though I wasn't sure about my heart at the moment. I felt weak, and the urge to cry overwhelmed me, but I held it all in. "I'm okay, Katt," I lied. "But what's going on? I've been hearing insults for the past few hours. It seems everyone wants my head and they keep staring at their phones. I also heard someone saying she had more pictures. What pictures are there t

Beth's POV I woke up the next morning pensive and annoyed, partly because I had a restless night punctuated with brief dreams and overthinking. I was motionless for a minute as I tried to remember the details of the dream but gave up when I couldn't recall it.I looked at my phone and groaned as I saw the time. I had overslept which was something that happened rarely as I was a stickler for routine. With a manic burst of energy, I got up and began preparing for work. I needed no one to tell me that my day was only going to get more weird.Once my schedule was broken, it was only natural that the rest of the day became shitty. I knew that much from experience.My pensive mood continued as I drove to the office and I only heard my name after I had been called at least thrice. I snapped at Brenda when she got in my business then asked her to call a mandatory meeting for all employees.She didn't hurry to do it but hesitated a bit and I knew she was curious as to why I was calling a me

“What do you think about all this, Aldred?”As Rey’s question echoed in the air, Aldred gave a knowing smile—as if he already expected the question.“It’s probably a ruse. The actual Warehouse must be hidden underground.” Rey made a slight grimace underneath his mask.‘Just as I suspected…’Even with this discovery, it didn’t change what they had to do. ‘We still have to invade. The entrance to the underground passage must be here somewhere.’Rey almost felt like he was invading the territory of a mafia group or some sort of cartel. He hadn’t done it before, but it seemed like this was how it would feel.“This establishment is run by Evals Redart, the biggest guy in business in the South.” Aldred went on, his tone still retaining the same hint of amusement from earlier.“I don’t imagine that we’d run into him here, but if we do, then the KariBlanc Group would like to stay out of it.”Rey let out a sigh and shrugged lightly.“I hadn’t planned for both of you to come inside with me a

‘Ah… I see. So that’s how it is…’Rey smiled as he stared at his opponent.Even though his eyes were on the BigFoot-like creature, his senses also observed the ceiling where it fell from.‘There are more of them lurking above.’ Rey couldn’t see them even if he tried. There was a reason he hadn’t detected any until this one landed to confront him.‘A Camouflage Skill, maybe? Interesting…’ These creatures were masters of blending into their environment, making them nearly impossible to detect unless someone paid close attention.‘Even now, I can only detect their movements due to the sound they make and slight distortions they cause in space.’He still couldn’t see them properly.‘I already have [Stealth], which basically allows me to be invisible. But I guess this isn’t too bad either.’ When Rey raised his head and studied the Skill, he figured that the camouflage ability would be more than enough for it to be registered by [Doppel].He sighed softly and turned his attention back to

The deal was sealed after that.Aldred Winsley used an Enchanted Item to calculate the amount of Monster Cores in each sack, and by multiplying them with the agreed price, they arrived at the selling price.It turned out to be a whopping 4,650 Platinum Coins!‘I still can’t believe this…’Rey was trying his best to remain composed after hearing such an insane number, but his heart raced uncontrollably.Adding that to his balance of 1,251 Platinum Coins, he now possessed 5,901 Platinum Coins in total.‘I never thought I’d get this much at once… let alone now!’ Rey felt like he was pulling off a scam, but he didn’t feel guilty. Why would he? This was the Black Market, after all.‘Once the Monster Cores start flooding in, these guys will be in trouble. I should probably avoid this place for a while…’Rey felt a sense of satisfaction knowing he had enough money for the moment. Now, it was time to focus on training; distractions like this were unnecessary.“As always, it’s a pleasure d

“Haha! Is it all done?” A hefty man, his belly protruding, emerged from the 'staff-only' room.He had blood stains on his hand, and each finger had rings on them. His fat-ridden body moved slowly as he cleaned his bloodied hands with a rag and flung it to the side once he was done.“Oh, Leader? Did you kill that woman already?” One of the men who had secured both Alicia and Billy said with a somewhat disappointed face.“What do you think?” The fat man replied, a twisted grin on his faceThough he had cleaned his hands, stains of red still appeared in some areas.“I-I see… I shouldn’t have asked in the first place."In all honesty, this man—as well as the rest of his six comrades—wanted to have his way with her.He had been looking forward to enjoying the waitress for some time now.‘When we killed her Boss and took over this shop, I expected my time to come soon…’He felt frustrated that his Leader had done away with her already.“She intentionally tripped, that woman. I was watching

“This isn’t how it’s supposed to go…”Adonis muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the night sky. While he couldn’t recall every single detail from the past, this particular incident was engraved in his memory.‘The kidnapping of Billy and Alicia… it’s supposed to happen way further in the future!’Sure, a lot of things had been altered now, but he hadn’t expected such a drastic change to the original timeline.‘They’ll nearly be sold at the slave auction a few days after being captured, but thankfully the investigation was done before the auction was completed.’As a result, the Royal Knights swooped in and apprehended a lot of criminals in the Black Market and Slavery World.Unfortunately, this huge victory came with a great loss.‘Alicia’s mental state became unstable and she went insane. Billy was fine, but he was so concerned with Alicia’s health that he didn’t focus on training any longer…’Eventually, Alicia’s mental health deteriorated to the point where she eventually commi

“Sir! It’s such a pleasant surprise to see you!” Rey was instantly greeted by a very excited Aldred Winsley.The man was grinning sheepishly at him. He seemed almost starstruck, like a fan meeting their favorite celebrity for the first time.‘He’s literally gushing…’ was Rey’s impression as he nodded slightly, entering the room.‘I was just asking your subordinate here when we might see you next.’Rey glanced at Noah and noticed him giving an uncomfortable smile.‘Were they pressuring him to convince me to come? Is that why he took so long?’It was just a guess, so Rey dismissed it.“In any case, it really is good to have you here. We have a lot to discuss.”Taking a seat on the sofa, Rey observed as Noah quickly positioned himself behind him.‘Good. He knows how to keep appearances without me needing to tell him…’ Rey felt relieved.Noah seemed to be able to handle himself in business now, but sometimes he was still an indecisive klutz.Like now, when he allowed his time to be delay

The KariBlanc Group’s Central headquarters was a three-story building.Its Ground Floor was used for commerce. Its First Floor was used for brokerage and special transactions—as well as the storage of regular Items.As for the Second Floor, it was used for three major purposes.First, it housed the cream of the crop in terms of products. Second, it was where those products received their final touches, ensuring excellence.And as for the final reason, it lay behind the door that Aldred was about to open.The manufacturing stations were situated in the bulkier half of the building, which served as an extension to the back.Since the building had a lot of space—especially at the rear, it wasn’t surprising that manufacturing operations occurred there.That place was also off-limits to those without authorization, but compared to those areas, it was the real deal.The Holy of Holies.‘I haven’t taken permission from father to do this, but…’He already knew what his father would say in thi

Rey’s heart was racing as he stared at the coordinates.His fists were tightly clenched, and he felt his eyes growing bloodshot.‘Why would Alicia be in the Black Market?’ Instantly, he knew she couldn’t have been there willingly. She was clearly in some kind of trouble.‘Is it because of Billy? I’m sure it’s him!’Remembering the face of his former best friend was enough to make him grit his teeth.He was extremely annoyed.Despite his annoyance, Rey felt a wave of relief wash over him. ‘At least I found her. Ditching the rest and coming here on my own really was the right move.’Rey managed to slip away from the watchful eyes of the Investigation Squad and come here on his own after they split up to look for clues.Thanks to that, he managed to slip into the Black Market space.‘I simply guessed that I could use their network or information channels to find Alicia.’Rey had figured they would use Tracking Magic on their Items, but he didn’t expect it to be this detailed.He also d
