All Chapters of Betrothed: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Rayla's & NoahOur trip to the hospital was far from what I expected...Funny, I couldn't believe I was expecting a free-flow conversation between I and Noah based on what we shared this morning." I suck," I mumbled." Did you just say I suck?" Noah asked me with a knitted brow his eyes focused on the road.He insisted we go by his car, which I counted as a showoff, though, because he was using the latest Benz I have been dreaming of having.If all this hadn't happened, I was planning on telling Racheal to get me one as a birthday present since my twentieth birthday was just around the corner.Yeah, my physique is completely a hell no for my age. I don't know my dad, Mom said he died when I was still young but I knew I took my mom's look." Is you drifting on and off also part of your secret thing?" This man is far older than me, but the way he thinks and talks sometimes always gets on my nerves.If not for the guilt thing, I would have spouted out my sassy usual response I have well

Rayla's POV."Mom who is Adam King?" I said in a tone so flat with a complete decrease in my octave.My Mom could only stare at him with a moist eye which I was forced not to look or get emotional about.Almost everyone close to me knew how fierce I could be when I was angry and right then, I was in that version of me.I closed my eyes to inhale as much breath as I could to calm me down. I have always loved my Mom, adore and even look up to her but now I don't even feel like I know her at all.The more silence my mom went the more irritated I got.......I know she has a lot of shit she has been covering including the fact she took Racheal's in and nurtured her like hers........there is just so fucking a lot about her and it killing me and that alone added to my frustration.I growled in frustration as I couldn't take it anymore;" You know what, I wouldn't force you to say anything...... It fine! It fine. But Mom nothing kills me that what you are doing now and what you've been doing n

Noah's POVWhen my phone buzzed, I glanced at the screen and saw Kevin’s name flashing across it. I didn’t know why, but something told me this wasn’t going to be a casual conversation. There was a tone to his voice—sharp, urgent—when he told me to come over. No pleasantries, no explanations, just the same two words he always used when things were about to go sideways: “It’s important.” Then, before I could even get a word in, he added, “It’s about Racheal,” and hung up.That was all I needed to hear.I left without asking questions, and by the time I walked into his office, my mind was racing with a hundred different scenarios. How could it be about Racheal? It didn’t make sense. We all saw what happened. I’d come to terms with it or at least, I’d convinced myself that I had. So when Kevin looked up at me from behind his desk, the grim set of his mouth and the intensity in his eyes told me that whatever he was about to say was going to unravel everything I thought I knew.I took a se

Kim's pov I’ve always believed that everything has a price. Trust, loyalty, even love—there’s always a number, a trade-off. The key is knowing what you’re willing to pay and what you’re willing to sacrifice. For a long time, I’d been playing the game, learning the rules, and bending them where I needed to. But there’s something about Kevin’s inheritance that makes it feel different. It’s more than just a prize to be won; it’s a power to be taken. And I’ve always known that if I wanted to secure my place at the top, I’d need to get my hands on it, one way or another.The Houston Company used to be my leverage. When my father was still around, I had a say in things, I could pull strings and push people around as I pleased. But when the company slipped from my grip, everything else started to slip along with it. That loss—it stung. It stung in a way that made me realize just how fragile my control over this world was. And then I found the file.I’d been keeping a close eye on Kevin for

Kim's POVIt has been a week since I was assigned the acting president position, and a week since I have seen Racheal.It was so fortunate for me that I have Kelvin at my tip now and also the Chairman. I know Noah has been visiting us for a while now and that has only added to the fire in me that I felt I could only be quenched by Noah.I was lost in my thoughts on what I could do to grab his attention now that he wouldn't even give me one.I made a mistake on my side by not planning my games well and ended up being a prawn in it." If I could get to this point- I mumbled while rolling my office chair I was sitting on- I would have you back to myself Noah Gordons" I pronounced as if it was meant for me to bounce on, I said with a squirted eyes making it feel more like a quest I had to fulfill at my side that a request.It has been a long I updated my mom........I picked up my phone and called my mom immediately which she picked up after ringing twice." Has it been done?" That was her
