The Betrayer. What.
"Where are you going?" Nadia asked, holding a package of cookie flour in her hand as she entered Star's living room. "We're going to a work meeting at the company," Idris replied while his wife adjusted his tie. "We won't be long."Nadia nodded. "What time will Katherina arrive?" "She's almost here," Idris checked his watch. "She takes a little longer because she stops by to check the tattoo sketches with her friend Hyjin. We'll be right back." He approached Nadia and kissed her cheek, just like Clara did. "Goodbye," Clara said, bidding farewell with her husband.Nadia sighed and headed to the kitchen. She took out a bag of flour and started shaping it to make chocolate cookies, knowing that even though Katherina didn't get along with them, she liked them. Then, the doorbell rang. "What did they forget now?" she wondered, walking towards the door. She opened it and saw a guy with his hands in his pockets. "Hello," she greeted him. "What do you need?" "Hi... um, has Katherina arr
The Betrayer. Panic.
The conversation continued:"We were walking down the hallway, with me trying to catch up to him; when we arrived, Katherina was on top of that guy, Will, she kissed him and said they were... " I hadn't finished talking when Nadia smiled from ear to ear as if she had realized something. - Why are you smiling, grandma?"You called me grandma." She exclaimed softly and kissed his temple. Harrison felt like an eight-year-old boy again. "She's smiling because... I had to be the one to figure it all out!" She exclaimed and laughed. "They are so blind.""Tell me what you realized.""I won't tell you." Harrison snorted. "Don't snort at me, young man." Nadia hit him with the cloth she was using to take out the cookies and laughed."Then, tell me.""They'll figure it out on their own, you, my little smart one, will figure it out.""How... tedious." He made a gesture of what was said, and Nadia laughed. "I just need all of this to end. I'm tired of seeing Tom cry.""Let him cry. That way, he'll
The Betrayer. Look.
Tom felt his heart stop, feeling every part of his body freezing. Harrison looked at him with cookies in his mouth, and Tom glanced back for a second. Nadia looked at both of them; on one hand, she laughed at how Harrison looked with his mouth full, but on the other hand, she stopped laughing when she saw that Tom seemed to be looking for a way to escape or disappear."Hey, Auntie!" she shouted again."I'm coming, sweetie!" Nadia shouted back, hearing the sound of her things being placed somewhere in the living room. "Where to...?" She quickly took Tom by the arm, intending to go out through the back door. "You came all the way here for something, so you...""Auntie, have you seen my golden necklace? I can't find it," Katherina asked while she was in the kitchen, but she was crouching down."... What does it look like?" Nadia asked as she continued to search under the table."Well... It has a silver heart in the middle with black and red inlays," she said. "And... obviously, the rest
The Betrayer. Cry.
"Definitely not worth giving her anything," Tom said after several minutes of walking back home with Harrison. After what happened at Katherina's house, Nadia thought it would be best for them to leave. Tom seemed more downcast than ever, gazing at the street floor with his hands in his pockets.Harrison placed his arm over Tom's shoulder and gave him a half-playful hug, ruffling his black hair. "She's the one missing out," he said. Tom looked at him as if to say, "Did you really just say that?" Harrison shrugged. "Sorry... Chocolate makes me say silly things," he chuckled, taking another cookie from his pocket and stuffing it into his mouth. "Wipe that look off your face," he asked Tom."I'm tired, Harrison. Bored. Look at what I've become," Tom held the broken necklace in his hand. "If only she knew that I'm just as broken as this necklace, maybe even more," he sighed heavily, burdened with pain. "I hated how, before leaving, Will showed up, and she just jumped on him and kissed him
The Betrayer. Me.
Take it or let it go, take it or let it go. You know perfectly well that all the suffering you feel, you totally deserve it. I think you're getting the point, baby... You crossed your limits, now you're here among the streets, thinking, "Now, who will I take as my beautiful origami?""It has to be some kind of joke," he said, removing the headphones from his ears. It seemed like the song was speaking more than he thought, and that filled him up. He let out a sigh and looked at the shops that were there before reaching his home. He saw one that was open and remembered that Katherina worked there, but he never had the chance to visit. (Or maybe he just made excuses not to go.) He crossed the street carefully and, standing in front of the shop, he rang the doorbell several times. "Come on... Someone... Hello!" he said, making a gesture when a man with long hair and dark eyes appeared on the other side of the door, looking at him. The man on the other side stared at him and then called so
The Betrayer. But.
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed with concern as she saw him enter. "Tom... What happened to you?" "Nothing, Mom," he replied as his mother checked his nose. "Mom, that's enough. It doesn't hurt." "But who the hell hit you like this?" asked her father. "It doesn't matter." "What do you mean it doesn't matter?" asked Sam. "One more punch, and you won't have a nose." He just frowned. He headed towards his room, taking for granted what his parents and siblings were yelling at him. He threw himself on his bed, covering his face with his hands, taking a deep breath, thinking about the idea that Daya had given him. He was nervous, doubtful. Truth be told, if this didn't work, he would leave it all behind.That caused his heart to tighten.With one hand, he took his cellphone out of his front pocket. He saw several messages from his parents, to which he didn't respond when he had left, and his parents thought something had happened to him. He just deleted them. Afterward, he chatted a bit wit
The Betrayer. Moment.
Katherina was looking at Bam, realizing as he saw her that apparently, all of this was yielding a different result. The least expected outcome happened. Her breath rose and fell somewhat quickly, she felt somewhat detached from her body, her heart was beating strongly, and in the face of it all, she felt her ears hurt. She looked at that facade and as she did, she furrowed her brow, tears ran down her cheeks, tears she tried to suppress."Katherina...," Maroon said while standing in front of her. "What's happening?""The photo..." she responded in a low tone. "It's just... Where did they get it from?""Why the question?" Justin spoke. "What matters is that apparently you liked it, it affected you too much," he murmured with a sigh. "Did you like it or not?""Where did they get the photo from?" she asked again, looking at Justin with a hardened expression."I don't know. You tell me," he said, arms crossed. "I don't understand why you want to know. It's just a photo.""A photo that not

"Sorry.I promised to love you forever,And it was true, there were no doubts in my mind.If destiny had different plans,And I hurt you by accident.Sorry.If I let go of you,If I didn't defend you,It was because my heart was blind.What a foolishness to lose you,To see it.I'm sorry.I don't expect love or hatred,I already have enough with my pain.I curse the episode,The worst part is that I was the one who wrote it.The demons that your forgetfulness leaves behind await me, they play with me.I know it's cowardly to ask for forgiveness in a song.Sorry.Sorry...Her voice faded away, and crying took over. Her throat closed up, and only her face sunk into the hollow of her neck. Her gasps were audible, her tears were felt; she truly said everything she felt.Like she had never done before. She was against the wall, and faced with everything that had been said, she couldn't help but break down in tears.Both of them were in tears."Please, Katherina." Tom said with a sob, looki
