Tides Of Betrayal Chapter 23
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,

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

“Do you like it?”I looked at Yvonne who was looking at me expectantly. I looked back at my reflection in the mirror and turned so I could see the dress from other angle. It was beautiful, simple and yet exquisite.“Yes, I do. The fabric is heavenly,” I said and she clapped happily.“I designed it just for you!” My friend squealed as she got up to her feet and approached me. I was glad she was happy. And appreciated that she designed this dress for me.“Just wait till you see your wedding dress. I’m not done with that yet though,” she said with a small chuckle and walked around me slowly.I was wearing a cream colored full length gown that had a beautiful corset-like design that accentuated my bust and waist. I was smaller in the chest size but this really did well for me.I liked the long balloon sleeves and the way the skirt hugged my hips. All in all, I looked beautiful. I was right to give a Yvonne the job to make my engagement dress.Perks of having a friend that’s a designer.“W

Today was the D-day and I was not ready at all. Berlin kept calling me for the past few days but I didn’t pick his calls because I had nothing to say to him.“My dear, you look so beautiful. This dress is amazing!” My mum showered me with compliments as the makeup artist did her work on my face. If it was another time, I would have smiled.“Thank you, mum. Is Yvonne here?” I asked her.She nodded, “She’s helping the others in welcoming the guests. Have you seen Berlin? He looks so handsome “ My stomach churned when she brought him up. Did she have to?I didn’t want her to notice my change in mood, so I brought out my phone and sent a text to Yvonne, letting her know I’ll soon be out.“I’m going out now. I want to go and greet the guests. Don’t waste too much time,” mum said and patted my shoulder before walking out. She was so joyful that it made my heart hurt.“You don’t look too happy,” my makeup artist said, making me blink in surprise. How could she tell?“I’m just overwhelmed. I

When I got home, I stripped out of my dress and switched off my phone that had been blowing up before going straight to the bathroom.I looked in the mirror and pressed my lips together when I saw that my cheeks was red and swollen. My mother had never slapped me before. She must have been so angry because my cheek was really hurting.My heart sunk into my chest at the realization that I had actually embarrassed my family. But what hurt more was what my mother had said.“Not now,” I took in a deep breath and went into the bathtub. The warm water did nothing to soothe my aching muscles and withering soul.My life was a mess now.When I had enough of soaking in the water, I got out an dried myself before slipping into my robe. I tied my hair up in a bun and went to my living room. I sat down on the floor beside the couch and laid my head on it.That was the only thing I could do at the moment.I sat there for a long time until I heard the doorbell. I slowly raised my head, wandering who

“This is your fourth drink. You need to take it easy, babe,” Yvonne said, grabbing the empty shot cup from my hand. I nodded at her words and gave her a thumbs up. I wasn’t drunk yet and it was getting me annoyed.“I’m not going to do anything stupid, allow me to get drunk,” I sighed and rested my head on the counter.After I left my father’s house to return home, Yvonne offered to go to the club in the evening. Needing to get my mind off things, I agreed.Well, the situation hadn’t changed at all. I got more irritated when men would approach me with stupid pick up lines and try to buy me a drink.“Stop with this face, babe. I really don’t like it,” Yvonne said to me but I ignored her and waved down the bartender.“Can I have another shot? And keep them coming please,” I told the hot bartender. He looked at me with a worried look before turning to Yvonne.“Is your friend alright?” he asked and Yvonne shook her head telling him no. I huffed and crossed my arms across my chest.“Aren’t

I got down from the bend, wincing when I felt the undeniable ache in between my legs. I saw a paper on the nightstand and I went to pick it up. The handwriting was cursive and I wondered if this person was a pampered kid while growing up.‘I left for work. Take your time and leave when you’re ready. Last night was…unexpected’I crumpled the paper and buried my face in my hands. Who did I sleep with? I didn’t even know his name. I closed my eyes and an image of a man popped up on my head. Green eyes…I remembered him! I had met him at my apartment building before. But I can’t remember when….and then I met him yesterday and he gave me the night of my life? Was he stalking me?My phone!I searched for my bag and found it by the bedside. I grabbed it and fished out my phone. I switched it on and cringed when I saw a lot of missed calls from Yvonne. My phone was flooded with text messages from her too. I opened the text messages and read them.The first ones were random check-ins and pictu

Three months had passed, and they were, without a doubt, the worst months of my life. I had left my father’s company, hoping to find a fresh start, a place where I could prove myself on my own terms. But I hadn’t expected this—being turned down by every company I applied to. My résumé was impressive, yet somehow, nobody seemed to be hiring. The rejection emails became a routine, a painful reminder of my new reality.But last week, everything changed. Yvonne, my best friend and saving grace, had called me with a glimmer of hope. “There’s an opening for a P.A. at TerraLink,” she had said excitedly. It was the break I had been desperately waiting for. Without wasting a second, I drove straight to the TerraLink building, heart pounding with the possibility of finally achieving my dream. My father had always refused to let me work there, insisting on keeping me under his wing. But this was my chance, my one shot at independence.To cut the story short—I got the job. Today was my first offi

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

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

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

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

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 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
