Tides Of Betrayal Chapter 13
Boredom had led me to drink three glasses of champagne in the last twenty minutes, and I was certain that if I had one more, I’d be seeing stars. I could feel myself getting tipsy, and I needed to find a way to excuse myself before I embarrassed myself in the worst possible way.“Excuse me,” a beautiful blonde lady approached me. Her bright blue eyes were the first thing I noticed as she came closer. Then I took in her height—she was tall, slim, and had beautifully tanned skin. She was the epitome of beauty, and she knew it.“Good evening, my name is Adeline,” she introduced herself, her thick French accent adding a certain charm to her words. I cleared my throat, trying to regain my composure, trying my best not to get intimidated .“I’m Veronica,” I replied, suddenly self-conscious under her gaze. Her hair was almost golden, and I found it difficult to look away from her. If anyone had told me she was a model, I wouldn’t have doubted it for a second. I envied her beauty—it was magne

NEILI was furious. I wanted to punch something—scratch that, I wanted to punch that sick bastard in his fucking face. The only thing that was stopping me from going to the police station to beat the living daylights out of Aubert was the woman laying in my bed.“She may suffer a mild concussion because she really hit her head hard,” Dr. Kelsey said and my jaw clenched.I looked down at Veronica, her face pale against my dark sheets. My shirt looked impossibly large on her, swallowing her petite frame. Anger boiled in my chest again. I could still see the faint trace of blood on her arm, even after Dr. Kelsey cleaned the wound. That bastard.“She’ll heal,” Dr. Kelsey said, her voice gentle but firm. “You’ll just need to make sure she rests. No stress.”I nodded, forcing the lump in my throat down. Stress was an understatement. Veronica hadn’t just been hurt—she’d been terrified. And I couldn’t shake the memory of her trembling in my arms as I carried her home.“It will heal, I’ve trea

VERAI sat there, staring at the door that Mr. Railway had left through for the past thirty minutes. No matter how much I tried, I couldn’t comprehend what happened. My heart hadn’t calmeddown and my mind wasn’t still clear.I swallowed and got out of bed. My head aches a little, but I knew I needed a shower if I wanted to let everything sink in. My legs nearly gave out on me as I walked to the bathroom and stripped out of my clothes before getting into the shower.The water was warm, making my muscles relax. I then remembered the incident that led to me being here like this. I wrapped my arms around my body, it was like I could still feel that man’s eyes on my body. It made shudder and I closed my eyes shut, wanting the feeling to go away. I could still feel his dirty eyes and touch on my skin.Then I remembered how Mr. Railway came to save me. How he had beaten the life out of that slug and called the police. A small smile made its way to my face as I remembered how he carried me in

VERAI couldn’t fall back asleep, so I decided to return to my room. Grabbing my dress and heels from the edge of the bed, I picked up my phone and slipped out quietly.A sigh of relief escaped me when I finally reached my room. Tossing my things onto the chair, I made my way to the bed. Stripping out of Neil’s shirt, I stood completely naked for a moment before climbing under the covers.Oddly, the bed felt harder than his.Wait—why was I calling him Neil?I cleared my throat and sat up, running my fingers through my hair. From where I sat, I could see my reflection in the closet mirror. My eyes traced over my body—from the curve of my small breasts down to my wide hips.I’ve never been ashamed of my small chest, but almost every man I’d been with seemed to prefer women with more. It didn’t bother me until they started cheating.Funny how I thought Berlin would’ve been different. Even though he was an asshole most of the time, I thought he respected me. I really did.I glanced down a

NEIL“Just because they’re from a royal family, they think everyone can take their shit,” Austin scoffed as he sipped his Bourbon. He was pissed off that his British client was being a stick in his ass. It was funny but I wouldn’t dare laugh because I knew he was pissed off.Being a lawyer meant he had to encounter people who wouldn’t mind if their pride would get them being bars for more than ten years. People like me.“Honestly, I don’t care if he rots in jail. Who the fuck rapes a girl and then forces her to abort the child?” he snapped and downed the rest of his drink with one go.“The duke’s cousin,” I stated and he glared at me, making me chuckle. “You what another whiskey or vodka?” I asked and he scoffed.He was about to say something when his eyes caught something behind me and a smile pulled on his lips. I narrowed my eyes at him, “What?”“She knows how to capture every man’s attention without even trying,” he said with a chuckle and, somehow, I already knew who he was refer

VERAI spent the rest of the morning sleeping. It felt as though my body decided to shut down on its own. Honestly, it was worth it. I hadn’t slept that good in days and somehow, this felt like a vacation. A vacation that I needed. But unfortunately, by tomorrow, I’ll be back in the office, running here and there, carrying out Neil’s endless orders.“I really need to stop calling him Neil,” I mumbled as I wrapped a towel around my body and made my way to the closet to look for a swim suit. I didn’t remember packing any because I knew I wouldn’t have the opportunity to go to the beach. But you know, life can be full of surprises.Raising a brow, I stopped short when I spotted a blue two-piece set lying neatly on top of my clothes. How had I missed that earlier? Picking it up, my eyes widened as I instantly realized who had packed it.Yvonne.“She will be the reason I lose my job. How am I supposed to wear this without looking like…” I groaned as I threw the fabric on my bed and pulled

NEILHolding three coconuts in my hands, I made my way to were Austin and I say while waiting for Veronica. I got thirsty and needed something to water down my sour mood, so I decided to get us something to drink.Even from behind, I could recognize Vera as she laughed at what Austin was saying.I was pretty sure what he said was a stupid joke.As much as I didn’t want to, I couldn’t help but drink in her features from behind. Was she planning to seduce me?If she was, it was working but I wasn’t going to admit it out loud.I approached them and Vera’s laughter died in her throat when she saw me. I saw her eyes widen a little as she took in my bare torso. Desire flashed through her pupils and I had to stop myself from smirking. I had that effect on women, it’s a nice quirk if anyone asks me.“Hey, man. Thanks,” Austin grinned as I handed him his coconut drink. I shrugged and handed Vera hers before taking a sit on my own lounger beside her.“Thank you,” she said to me, even though it

NEILShe looked at my hand for a moment, as though debating whether or not to take it. Her hesitation made me wonder what exactly she was afraid of, but eventually, her small hand slipped into mine. Her touch was soft yet firm, and it sent an unexpected jolt through me.I pulled her up effortlessly, and she stumbled slightly, letting out a soft laugh. “You really have no patience, do you?”“Not when you ask for tequila before swimming,” I replied with a smirk. “But I’ll get you that shot. A promise is a promise.”Her lips curled Into a teasing smile as she brushed a strand of hair out of her face. “Good. I’ll hold you to that.”We walked toward the beach bar in silence, the warm sand shifting under our feet. I was acutely aware of how close she was, her arm brushing mine every so often. The air between us felt charged, though I couldn’t tell if she felt it too or if it was just me losing my damn mind.When we reached the bar, the bartender greeted us with a bright smile. “What can I g

VERA“Is it that serious?”I jumped in my seat with a scream, startled by the voice of my best friend standing in front of me. Yvonne laughed and I noticed Katie behind her. I had been too immersed in my work to notice them come in.“What are you guys doing here? How did you even come in?” I asked, looking at Yvonne. Our workplaces were very far from each other, so I knew she couldn’t just visit randomly.“We knocked like five times, but no reply,” Katie smirked teasingly and I rolled my eyes.“We’re here to tell you about our celebration,” Yvonne said as she and Katie took a seat in front of me. I frowned.“Celebration?”“Yes, you’ve been working in this company for three months now,” Yvonne said and I narrowed my eyes at her instantly.“So?”“So we should celebrate your three consecutive months without getting fired,” she said with a wide grin.“Trust me, it’s worth the celebration . You survived Mr. Railway’s death claws,” Katie added and I wanted to laugh.“You guys just want a re

NEIL“You know, it would be much better if you actually listened to what your advisors say,” Austin remarked as we approached my office.I rolled my eyes, already annoyed that he was still talking.“It would be much better if you took a hint when someone wants you to shut the fuck up,” I shot back.Austin huffed dramatically, crossing his arms. “Rude. I’m just trying to help you become a better man.”I stopped walking and turned to glare at him. “What are you even doing here?” he loved being in places he wasn’t supposed to be.His frown vanished, replaced by a mischievous grin that immediately put me on edge. Before I could step away, he threw an arm around my shoulders, tugging me into his side.“I just wanted to visit my best bud,” he said cheekily.I shoved him off, shaking my head. “Touch me like that again, and you’ll be sporting a black eye.”He cackled like a damn witch.Ignoring him, I pushed the door open—and immediately halted in my tracks.A woman stood in front of my desk,

VERAI stared at my alarm clock as it rang, wondering if going to work was worth it. Neil would understand if I don’t show up today, right? He’d probably send me an email letting me know I’ve been respectfully sacked.I really need to stop calling him Neil.I groan and drag myself out of bed to go to the bathroom. I took a bath and got dressed in a blue office dress. It hugged my curves in the right ways and it had a nice neckline that wasn’t revealing. I looked professionally sexy.Two hours later, I was seated in my office, trying to convince myself that today wouldn’t go as badly as I feared it would. Neil hadn’t arrived yet, which was unlike him. It was already nine o’clock and I wondered if everything was fine.“It’s probably the traffic,” I said to myself as I began to sort out the spam emails. A lot of companies around the world wanted to partner with his company, but he only selected a few. It was as if most companies didn’t meet his demands. Even my father’s company had sent

His touch was burning deep into my soul as he caressed my hips. I rocked my pelvis into his, making him groan and break the kiss to look at me.“You,” he breathed out like he was trying to catch his breath. His lips were flushed, slightly swollen from our kiss, and that sent a thrill through me.“We need to stop,” he said under his breath, more like to himself. But I couldn’t help the disappointment I felt at those words. I was about to pull away when he suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and before I could register anything, I was pinned to the rock behind us.“Ne—”“Fuck it,” he growled and kissed my neck, harshly sucking on a spot that made me moan loudly. He groaned and I gasped when I felt his fingers dig into my thighs. If we weren’t waist deep into the water, I’d be completely undone by now.“You have no idea how much you drive me crazy,” he said as he pulled away to look at me. Desire was burning in his green eyes making me shiver under his gaze. It felt like nothing else ma
