All Chapters of The Betrayed Billionaire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Never Again 🌷 “And SOMETIMES, against all odds, against all logic, we still H O P E.” ~•~ E V E L Y N • “Every sunrise is an invitation for us to arise and brighten someone's day.” I couldn't remember where I read that, but when I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they are not then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can 'cause I know I'm going to have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try. Sitting beside my car window while the sun embraced me in its warmth, keeping me alive and enthusiastic for the whole day. I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and wind blowing through my hair. "Eve. Eve. Evelyn!" My chain of thoughts broke when Kat's voice pierced into my ears as she lightly patted my arm. Moving out of trance, and taking in the surroundings, I realised we had already reached Walker Industries. Panic whirled in

Never Again 🌷 “Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breath, and have faith that everything will work out for the best.” ~•~ •E V E L Y N• The day wasn't peaceful for Xavier Knight as the faded memories of my betrayal were floating right in front of him. He masked the anger on his face gracefully as he averted his eyes from my face. By losing the extra pounds gave him a more chiselled face than before, that was what you first noticed about him: a hard, chiselled face, like that of some ancient Greek statue. The way his white shirt had covered his forearms was telling me that he had spent his share of time in the gym. And, then, finally, there was his eyes…. His forest green eyes that horrified me in the last five years. They were dark pools of immeasurable depth, pools of agony that you could drown yourself in and never again come up for air. Once messy dusty brown hair was now perfectly blended in gel to his right side, an

Never Again 🌷 “Hate is a terrible thing. It's a wasteful, stupid emotion. You can hate someone with all your heart, but it'll never do them a bit of harm. The only person it hurts is you. You can spend your days hating, letting it eat away at you, and the person you hate will go on living just the same. So, what's the point?” ~•~ •E V E L Y N• Sitting outside the office of Mr Walker, I waited for him to arrive. Despite my protests, Kat didn't let me wear my old clothes as I was dressed in her floral color pencil skirt and black button-up shirt, I looked really decent and professional. And finally the heels, which she stubbornly made me wear. I applied some natural makeup on my face and let my strawberry hair down so they reached my waist in light waves. It was already fifteen minutes past eight in the morning, and I had no idea what I was supposed to do and where to go. Time passed as it was exact nine in the morning, when I watched Mr Walker walking out of the private elevator

Never Again 🌷 “We each begin in innocence. We all become guilty.” ~•~ •E V E L Y N• Quickly turning away from the sight, I followed Kat through the crowd, hoping that he didn't see me. Not knowing why, but I looked back and we locked gazes. I couldn't look away, he was staring at me intently like a lion watching his prey. Feeling a tug just as I lost my focus on Xavier. Kat was already pulling me with her. We then arrived at our booth, so I could take a seat. "You wait here. I'll locate Mason and will get our drinks." I nodded and she strutted off. As she left, I observed the crowd was dividing itself into half and was dispersing to their respective sides, making a void in the middle of the stage. A handsome man walked down the aisle with a drink in his left hand, looking right into my eyes. And to my surprise, the man was none other than Xavier Knight himself. What was he trying to do? I thought. Xavier was standing in the middle of the stage, while the DJ announced, "Ladi

Never Again 🌷 “True love will triumph in the end-which may or may not be a lie, but if it is a lie, it's the most beautiful lie we have.” John Green ~•~ •E V E L Y N• Wishing that Sunday didn't happen because unfortunately, I had to face Xavier today at work. It was a Monday and I planned to avoid him like the plague. I wasn't going to indulge myself in his business until he apologized for his behaviour the other night. If he even remembered, I thought. I arrived at work at an earlier time, so I started to sort out all the files that needed to be signed and reviewed by Xavier. Engrossed in work, I didn't even notice him entering the office. He didn't usually bother addressing my presence, so today was no different. After a while, my phone started ringing. Looking up from what I was doing, answered the unknown number. Before I could even greet the person on the other end, I heard, "In my office, along with all the important files." And then he cut the call. Way too quick, M
