The Price of Betrayal Chapter 6: Loveless Marriage
Here I am, seated at a long table in one of the city's most expensive restaurants, with Morgan Montague and Sebastian Montague, the parents of Nathaniel Montague who happens to be my soon-to-be husband.After agreeing with Victoria that she'll cover my mother's surgery expenses and that I'll marry Nathaniel, she promptly informed me of a "meet the parents dinner" tonight. She's the only one with me in this meeting because Dad hasn't returned from his business trip yet.My future husband is nowhere to be seen. According to them, he still has a few hours left before he can be released from prison. I wonder what law he broke? From the tone of his parents' speech, it seems like Nathaniel is accustomed to going in and out of jail."Ahem."We looked at the man who faked a cough. Sebastian Montague. He's looking at me as if he's judging me by my appearance."Looks like your daughter has inherited something from you, Victoria. Willing to do anything to get what she wants. What a shame. Got pr

"Oh my gosh! How dare you slap my daughter!"Victoria was about to slap me when Dad stopped her. "Good luck with your business. And you, Camilla? I am not bitter. I am not jealous. Fuck Dominic all you want. I'm out of here," I said, emphasizing each word before finally leaving the house.The betrayal they committed just stings so bad. But I don't know. It feels more like guilt to me. I'm hurting because I feel like I've lost the right to be hurt because of what I did last night. I don't know. Everything is so messy, and I just want to leave.Before I could completely leave the gate, someone pulled my arm from behind, causing me to stop."You and your precious daughter seems to be obsessed pulling me on my arm. Now I am starting to feel like you really need me. What now, MOTHER?" I said sarcastically as I faced Victoria, head held high, but I could still see a hint of disgust in her eyes as she looked straight at me."Camilla is right. You should marry Nathaniel Montague instead. Afte

Dominic... My Dominic is entwined with Camilla, my half-sister. Their bodies are pressed together in an intimate embrace that leaves no room for misinterpretation. They are sleeping naked and sharing the same blanket on the sofa. By the looks of them, I'm not naive enough to believe that nothing happened between them. So this is the secret they are trying to keep from me, huh?I knew he grabbed the opportunity of me going home late to bang my sister. They're just stupid for not choosing a private spot.I feel like I've been punched in the stomach, the breath knocked out of me. I want to scream, to cry, to lash out, but all I can do is stand there, frozen in shock."Uhm..." Dominic moved, blinded by the sudden light. His gaze was fixed in my direction. I could see his face turn pale when he saw me. "L-love..."His movement woke Camilla from her sleep. "Hi, Paige. You're here! Sorry, you found us in this situation. It's embarrassing. Next time, we'll do it in the room for privacy." She

"Give a hand for Paige! Wow, that was a hot kiss!" the host exclaimed.The crowd cheered as the white envelope containing ten thousand dollars was handed to me. I quickly made my way to the exit door and looked for the restroom. Luckily, I found it immediately and went inside.I washed my face and looked at myself in the mirror. Damn it. What just happened? I just kissed a random guy for money. I already have the money but what the fuck is this feeling?I feel like something is missing and I don't know what it is. Another thing that's bothering my mind is what I'm feeling.I touched my lips and thought about Dominic, my boyfriend. If my boyfriend's kiss couldn't get me to feel this thing, why did that of a stranger get me so much tension building inside me?One thing is for sure. I know this is wrong and I still did it for my mom. And it will never happen again. He's just a stranger. I'm sure it's not a big deal for him. I just hope we never cross paths again.I went out of the restro

"Are you ready?" Becca asked me right after her car stopped its engine.My heart pounded with both excitement and nervousness. We were already here. It was about to happen. I didn't know what to expect once we are already inside, but I was also looking forward to it."Yes," I answered, and we both got out of the car. I simply followed Becca's steps, and I saw a bouncer slightly bow his head as Becca passed by. She gestured something to the bouncer, and he looked at me and nodded.I didn't know what it meant, but I assumed it was for them to allow me to enter the bar. I could see some people handing them a ticket before entering, and I didn't have one.As we entered the bar, we were greeted by loud music and a lot of people dancing and drinking. All of them looked fancy and rich. I glanced at what I was wearing – just a red silk dress Becca had lent me. I didn't own any expensive dresses like what they were wearing, so she let me borrow one from her.I had worried before that Becca mig

Paige Evans's Point of View:"The diagnosis revealed that your mom's kidneys have failed completely, and the dialysis can no longer sustain her. So, she'll need an urgent transplant."I buried my face in my palm after hearing what Doctor Murphy said. I know a kidney transplant may save my mother's life, but we've lost count of months looking for a donor. I would have donated my kidney, but unfortunately, mine isn't compatible."My mom needs the transplant. But do we have a donor?" I asked."Well, good news because we already have a donor. You just need to make the necessary payments and complete the paperwork to allow us to begin the procedure," he said. I felt relieved at what he said, but instantly felt weak in the knees when I realized this might cost ten times more than dialysis. Dialysis is already too expensive for us. Now I can't imagine how much a transplant would cost."Given the rate of decline, she has four days to get a new kidney, or we might encounter complications. The
