Betrayal And Deceit
Last Updated:
2024-12-01 17:39:33As Alaric burst into the room, his piercing gaze fell upon Elona's ashen face, contorted in a sneer of disdain. "You dared to orchestrate this elaborate scheme against me, didn't you?" he accused, his voice dripping with contempt.
"Drugged me, manipulated those thugs into taking me to your lair in the morning, making a mockery of my integrity by suggesting I engaged in carnal acts with you utilizing Harley's discarded sheet. And all the while, you shamelessly accepted my compensation. Your audacity knows no bounds, Elona. You are truly despicable." Elona's eyes widened in confusion and disbelief as she tried to make sense of Alaric's accusations. "I... I have no idea what you're talking about," she stammered, her voice trembling with shock and disbelief. Alaric let out a scornful laugh before projecting his phone screen onto the wall, revealing a video confession from three rough-looking men. Each man detailed Elona's involvement in drugging both him and Harley, setting up the incriminating scene at her residence. The evidence was damning, leaving Elona speechless and on the verge of despair. "If there is an ounce of honesty left in you, you will own up to your deceit," Alaric barked, his eyes ablaze with fury and disappointment. "I swear, it's not true!" Elona protested, her voice cracking with emotion. "I would never stoop so low." Shaking his head with a mixture of resignation and regret, Alaric handed over a set of hospital records to Elona. Her heart plummeted as she perused the documents, revealing a string of abortions and hymen repair procedures spanning four agonizing years. Tears streamed down Elona's face as the weight of the allegations pressed down upon her. While the records held kernels of truth, the name and age on the documents were forged. The truth lay buried beneath layers of deception, and Elona understood she needed irrefutable evidence to exculpate herself. As the gravity of her predicament dawned on Elona, memories of her tumultuous past flooded her mind. An orphan from a tender age, she endured her father's unwavering distrust, fueled by lies spun by Helen and Harley. The crushing weight of her life's twists and turns mounted as she cursed the capriciousness of fate and the callousness of those who sought to malign her. At twenty-one, grappling with the burden of unexpected motherhood, betrayal, and false accusations, Elona found herself grappling with a reality she could scarcely comprehend. And as Harley stood, smug and victorious, clutching Alaric while interceding on her behalf, Elona braced herself for the arduous quest that lay ahead. An arduous journey to vindicate herself and lay bare the machinations of those who sought to condemn her unjustly. With her resolve steeled and her heart heavy with the weight of the challenges ahead, Elona knew that the road to redemption would be fraught with obstacles and insidious foes—yet she vowed to emerge victorious, reclaiming her battered reputation and securing justice in a world where innocence was a scarce and fleeting commodity. Elona's world had crumbled around her. Just twenty-one, she had discovered that her one-night stand with the richest man in town, Alaric, had left her pregnant. She had thought that despite his cold demeanor, he would never turn his back on his own child. But she had been naive. As Alaric stood before her, his eyes blazing with anger, Elona felt a chill run down her spine. Harley, her half-sister, clung to Alaric's arm, her eyes gleaming with a malevolent light as she pretended to plead for Elona. "Please, Alaric, don't be too hard on her. She's just a child," Harley cooed, her voice dripping with insincerity. Alaric's face twisted in disgust as he shoved Elona away. "Disappear from Kings City before I destroy you," he snarled. "I'm sparing your life for Harley's sake." As Alaric stormed out, Harley's expression changed, her face contorting into a twisted grimace. "You liked my birthday gift, didn't you?" she sneered, her voice dripping with malice. "Now, listen carefully, disappear from the City of Kings, or I'll make sure you pay dearly. You're broke, and no one trusts you. Everything that belongs to you, I'll take. You're younger than me, but I'm the one they call the Second Miss of the Carter family. I hate you with a burning passion." Elona stood up, her eyes vacant, and began packing her bags. Harley's face twisted in satisfaction as she watched her half-sister's defeated demeanor. With a final, venomous glance, Harley stormed out, wiping away crocodile tears. Alaric's voice was stern as he reprimanded Harley. "Why are you crying over someone as evil as Elona?" But Harley's tears were not for Elona. They were for herself, for the fear that gripped her heart. She knew that she had orchestrated Elona's downfall, and she trembled at the thought of being discovered.

Elona stood in the opulent west wing of the newly acquired Royale villa, her gaze locked on the man lying motionless in the hospital-grade bed. Alaric Royale. The name that once brought a rush of joy and now only summoned a whirlwind of bitterness and pain. His chiseled features were untouched by time, but the vitality that once burned in his dark eyes was absent.She drew in a shaky breath, clutching the edges of her lab coat as if to steady herself. It had been years since their last encounter. A separation filled with anguish, betrayal, and secrets she had vowed never to revisit.

Elona turned around and called out to him, softly, "Alaric? Are you awake?" However, she got no response. She then checked his pulse and figured it must have been her mind playing tricks on her.

However, a gale blew it away and the man in a secluded place roared, crying for the one woman who had such a calming scent. Elona.Elona adjusted the acupuncture needles one last time before stepping back. Her patient, Alaric Royale, remained motionless, his face serene yet haunting. His presence alone was suffocating.

You’ll need to see this in person."Alaric’s grip on his phone tightened. He rose from his chair, grabbing his coat with a sharp motion before striding out. Jimmy, who had been standing nearby, immediately fell in step beside him. “Sir?” Jimmy inquired, softly.“We’re going to Hastings’ clinic.” Alaric's response was clipped.
