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.

As Elona settled into the serene countryside of Country C, Master Fu welcomed her with open arms. However, his warm smile belied a surprising condition. "I have no heirs, child," he said, his eyes serious. "I am far from home, and if you wish to receive my support, you must give up design and become my closed-door disciple."

Master Fu’s peaceful morning was shattered by the shrill ring of his phone. Grumbling under his breath, he answered, his tone sharp. “What do you want?”The voice on the other end was smooth, calculated. “Master Fu, this is Senior Royale. I’m calling about my grandson.”Before he could finish, Master Fu exploded into a tirade, hurling insults in his native tongue. “How dare you! Years of neglect, and now you grovel before me?” His anger wasn’t entirely for the man on the phone, it was for Elona, his closed-door disciple, whose life had been tangled with the Royales in ways he despised.As the old master vented, the door creaked open.

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. Yet here she was, standing at the epicenter of her past.“He’s the patient,” she murmured, her voice trembling despite her efforts to remain composed. Master Fu, standing beside her, gave a curt nod. “He is. You’ll treat him, as agreed.”Her stomach churned. “You knew,” she said, her tone sharper now, anger bubbling beneath the surface. Master Fu didn’t flinch. “I knew. And I also know you’re the only one

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. What she did not know was that Alaric had indeed uttered her name but still in a vegetative state. It was his sheer willpower. He was in a dream and the comforting scent of Elona had enveloped him. 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.

The soft murmur of the wind through the villa's open windows was the only sound that accompanied Elona as she prepared to give Alaric his daily sponge bath. The room smelled faintly of lavender and herbal infusions, a calming fragrance she had grown accustomed to in her days of quiet solitude in Country C.Her hands, steady and skilled after years of studying traditional medicine under Master Fu’s watchful eyes, worked with methodical precision. The sponge, damp and warm, glided over Alaric’s pale skin, a striking contrast to the healthy, vibrant man he once was. His dark, unshaven jawline, his high cheekbones. Features that once drew her in, even when his heart was as cold as the marble floors beneath her, now seemed almost cruel to her.Each time she gazed at his sleeping form, she couldn’t help but see the traces of their children—of the triplets.

She leaned against Alaric, his strong arm wrapped protectively around her waist. "Look at them," she murmured, pride evident in her voice. Down in the courtyard, the Terrific Trio, Arlyle, Artie, and Allie, were engrossed in an intense discussion, their expressions far too serious for eleven-year-olds.

The billboards across Country M broadcasted the event live, capturing every moment in stunning detail.

Blind Deception: The CEO's Regret A Love Rekindled
Alaric Royale had always been a man who thrived under pressure. Business deals, billion-dollar investments, and ruthless negotiations had been his expertise for years. But now, he was navigating an entirely different battlefield, one that involved diaper changes, bedtime stories, and earning the love of the family he had once taken for granted. And he was determined not to fail. For him, this was the dawn of a new routine, and one he fully embraced with sincerity. The sun had barely risen when Elona stirred awake, expecting to hear the usual fussing of the twins. But instead, the room was quiet. Too quiet. She sat up, her heart thudding. Had she overslept? Where were the babies?Slipping on her robe, she made her way downstairs, only to pause at the sight before her. Alaric was in the living room, still in his sleepwear, holding one of the twins in his arms while feeding the othe

Elona studied him, searching for any trace of deception, but all she saw was sincerity, painful, soul-deep sincerity. “I don’t know if I can ever fully forgive you,” she admitted quietly. “But… I want to try.” Alaric’s head snapped up, eyes widening slightly. “You do?” Elona sighed. “The truth is, despite everything, a part of me never stopped wanting you. And maybe that’s my own weakness. But I can’t ignore that you’re their father, that we’re still married, and that...” she hesitated, “...that I once loved you.” The admission hung in the air between them, fragile and uncertain. Alaric leaned forward slightly, his voice a gentle plea. “Then let me earn it. Let me show you that I can be the man you deserve. I don’t expect you to trust me overnight, but I’ll spend every day proving it to you.” Elona exhaled. “We’ll take it one step at a time.” A spark of hope ignited in Alaric’s g

“I missed both of your pregnancies. I wasn’t there when you needed me most. I let others dictate my life, let my pride get in the way.” His jaw clenched. “And because of that, I lost the woman who should have been my priority from the beginning.” Elona crossed her arms, her eyes filled with lingering pain. “You don’t just get to regret things now and expect everything to be okay. You should know that by now." “I know,” he admitted. “And I don’t expect forgiveness overnight. But I need you to know, Elona, that I regret it every single day. Every time I look at our children, I think about what I missed. I think about how you went through it all alone because I was too blind to see what truly mattered.” Elona bit her lip, fighting against the emotions rising inside her. It was rare to see Alaric this open, this vulnerable. But bitterness still lingered in her heart. “You always put business first, believed

The battle was won. The threats to Elona were gone. But for Alaric Royale, the war was far from over. As the chaos of the past weeks settled, silence became his enemy. It was in that silence that the heavy burden of his failures pressed down on him. He had conquered enemies, crushed empires, and outmaneuvered some of the most ruthless minds in the world. Yet, when it came to the one thing that truly mattered, his family, he had failed spectacularly. Alaric sat alone in his office, a crystal glass of whiskey untouched on his desk. The city skyline stretched before him, bright and alive, yet he felt nothing but emptiness. His fingers hovered over his phone. He had Elona’s number memorized, yet every time he thought of calling her, he hesitated. What could he say? I’m sorry? I regret everything? Please come back to me? None of it felt enough. He hadn’t just missed a few anniversaries or forgotten a birthday.

After the banquet’s revelations had settled, Alaric, Elona, and Master Fu gathered in the Guild’s war room, a dimly lit chamber filled with ancient scrolls, maps, and strategic plans. The room was filled with the scent of aged parchment and burning incense, a signature of Master Fu’s personal quarters.Seated at the head of the table, Master Fu steepled his fingers, his piercing eyes scanning the duo before him. “We need to discuss Gwen Mason.”Elona exhaled sharply, her expression darkening at the mention of the former queen consort of Country S. “She got away too easily,” she muttered.Alaric leaned back in his chair, his face unreadable but his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest. “Even after the ICC took over, the Mason family pulled their strings, and now she walks free on ‘bail.’ It’s a mockery of justice.”Master Fu nodded gravely. “The ICC was never going to hold her accountable. The Mason family has deep connections, and the former king… well, let’s just say he w

Kian stood at the wide-open balcony of his guest bedroom at the Guild headquarters, his fingers curled tightly around the ornate railing. The cool night air did little to ease the storm raging inside him. He had spent his life running, from the truth, from himself, from the consequences of his choices. But tonight, he could no longer hide.Behind him, the grand doors creaked open, and light footsteps approached. Elona. He knew her presence before he even turned. “You wanted to see me?” she asked, her voice calm but distant.Kian inhaled deeply, steeling himself before facing her. She looked as poised as ever, her striking features illuminated by the moonlight, but there was something else, something he had put there. A wound, not of steel or poison, but of betrayal.“Elona…” he hesitated, his throat tightening. “There’s something I need to say. Something I should have said a long time ago.” She crossed her arms, waiting. “I’m listening.”His fingers clenched at his sides before he for

At the head table sat Master Fu, his keen eyes observing the room, knowing that tonight was not just about celebration, it was about revelation.
