All Chapters of Marred by his Betrayal : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“RyderGood morning darling! You're awake. We didn't want to disturb you. How was your sleep?” Alexis sounded chirpy, the complete opposite of what I was feeling.This wasn't going to be easy. Explaining to her that last night was a one-time thing.“Good,” I muttered, thinking of how to start the conversation.“Papa,” Alim shrieked, appearing from under the table and grabbing onto my legs.“I'm glad I could be of help. I really enjoyed myself last night,” she said shyly, batting her lashes. “I haven't felt so good in a long time. I could get used to it.”Ignoring her not-so-subtle attempt at revisiting what we did last night, I picked Alim up, hugging him to my chest. I've missed him.“We were just about to have breakfast. Care to join?” Alexis asked.My tummy rumbled as I spied the spread on the table.I nodded and sat down, placing Alim in the empty seat beside me. “How have you been, buddy?”“Good. Mama made me breakfast and promised to take me to the park today.”I cocked my head

Ryder“You're bleeding!” I heard Alexis' voice as she trailed behind me into my bathroom. “What happened to you?”The interrogation with Troy and his accomplice, though enlightening, had taken a violent turn. I have no regrets. They both needed to pay for what they had done. Alpha Reagan too. But I was patient. I needed to root out every one of them in my pack without spooking them.What I didn't need was the daughter of my enemy hovering over me and asking questions like she cared.“It's not my blood,” I informed her, flexing my bloodied hands under the running tap. “I had something to take care of. And it became messy.”I stole a glance at her. “What are you doing in my room?”“Thank goddess,” she sighed, her hand on her chest. “I thought for a second you were injured and I got scared.”Now, my curiosity was piqued. I turned around to face her, my eyes boring into hers. What exactly is she up to? Does she know I've found out about her father? Is she trying to cover for him? Or just

SarahTiny rays of light were beginning to taint the sky as I stood over my mother’s frail form wrapped in blankets. She had slept throughout the night. Whereas Lisa and I have stayed up all night trying to reach Lucas.“I'm right here with her. She will be fine,” Lisa spoke behind me. “But Ryder won't. If you don't move fast.”I nodded in agreement. She was right. I was on a thinly stretched time limit. With one last glance at the sleeping figure, I hurried out of the house and into the car waiting for me.Rob must have sensed the urgency in my voice when I woke him up. Because he arrived at Lucas’ mansion in a new record time.I walked into the house and headed straight for his room. I knocked firmly on the door, my heart pounding with anticipation.The door creaked open, revealing Lucas with a furrowed brow. "Sarah? Why are you here so early? Is everything alright?""I need to talk to you," I said urgently, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. “I called you all night

SarahPauline had warned me about his condition, in brief detail. But I hadn't expected him not to remember his son.“Sarah? Love…Please tell me what's going on. What do you mean I've got a son?” his voice was calm but I could sense fear in it.My hands wiped my face clean and I cleared my throat. My guilt was forgotten, but only temporary. How does he expect me to answer his questions?I watched Alexis from the side of my eyes. She was backed to a corner, seething in rage. And I was standing beside her husband, his hand gripping onto mine tightly.“Moonbeam…”My head snapped at the mention of that name. My eyes turned red, glaring at him, cutting whatever he was going to say short.That was the name he called me whenever he wanted to get me to open up. I blinked rapidly, keeping my eyes from tearing up. He had no right to call me that. Not after what he did. “You have a son, Ryder,” I stated calmly, despite the turmoil within me. “You cheated on me with her…that woman right there… a

SarahWhat in the name of the goddess was going on? Was Lisa pulling a prank on me? She had said a man and not her sister!Irritated. “Did Lisa send you?”“No one sent me. Lisa doesn't know a thing. And we don't have time to chitchat. I'll explain on the way,” she spoke, tugging my hand along with her.I didn't budge. I had no trust or love where Ava was concerned. Not after the first impression she gave me. And if Lisa hasn't sent her, what was she doing here?Maybe Lucas! But how did he find out? My body pulsed with rage. I wasn't in the mood for her games. If she planned to take me to Lucas, then she better save the theatrics and get on with it.“What do you want, Ava?” I ground out through gritted teeth.She scoffed. “Trying to save you, you dimwit. Don't you see she's playing you?”Her insult went over my head. It didn't bother me. But her question left me baffled. Who was she talking about? Lisa? “If you have no intention of taking me to your brother, I suggest you get out of
