Lahat ng Kabanata ng Price of Betrayal : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Maddox's point of view I was about to kiss her until my sister interrupted us. I yearn to taste her lips, as if they were whispering to me, urging me to give them a kiss. We just met, but I don't mind; there will be more opportunities to get to know her better, and I don't think she's particularly dangerous because she's my sister's best friend. This time, I trust her.But when I first met her in Jungle K, I knew she was the right woman for me and someone I wanted to tie the knot with. I haven't experienced courting anyone, but for her, I will. Is this what they mean by 'love at first sight?' Damn. It's insane, but I don't care. I am going to pursue her, no matter what happens.After we watched Netflix, we all went home because we had many things to do the next day. I took Nyx home with Sariel, as she said she'd sleep over at Nyx's house because we finished watching late.What I need to do now is fix the problems at the company and with the board of directors. Finn is an asshole, so

Maddox's point of view After I yelled at them, I checked the fallen bodies again. Flames completely engulf the building, preventing us from entering. Chandler and Owen couldn't have gotten inside, so they must be somewhere outside. I heard someone groan. I turned to see where it came from. When I realized who it was, I rushed over to him. He's lying on the ground, as if someone hit him. It's Chandler. "Hey, are you hit or what?" I asked. "Nah, I'm fine; I just stumbled upon some stupid stuff," he says, groaning. I helped him get up and walk over to where the others were. "Have you seen Owen? We came back here because you two weren't in the vehicle." "When the bomb exploded, I noticed him heading south. I think he's on his way back now. Numerous men are engaged in a firefight. To stay alive and safe, I had to play dead," he said with a grimace. "Where's Owen?" Kenzie asked when we got to where they were. Chandler replied wearily, "South." "Lexi, is Owen back?" On the other li

Sariel's point of view I gazed at the man and found myself swallowing hard due to his striking appearance. He was like a god from Greek Olympia, as if he came here for Bellatrix. I suppose he's six feet tall? His features are well-defined, boasting curves seemingly sculpted specifically for him. Okay, wait, I already have a future husband. That's when Maddox crossed my mind. Oh, he's been trespassing on my poor mind. I shot Bellatrix a look, and she just grinned at me. "By the way, bestie. This is Chandler, my fiancé," she said, introducing the man. I was surprised by what she said, but I didn't hesitate to extend my hand and introduce myself. "I'm Seraphena Ariel. Call me Sariel; Bellatrix is my best friend." I stammer with a sly smile. I thought he wouldn't shake my hand, but Bellatrix nudged him. Hmm, I smell something ununderstandable. But his stance doesn't make it obvious. "By the way, I just spotted you here, so I approached you. I know it's not a favorable meeting, but I'

Sariel's point of view I was sitting in his living room, fiddling with my cellphone. He left me here for an hour and never came back. Is he really going to make me sleep here? I was busy scrolling on my phone when the doorbell rang. I raised an eyebrow. Is he expecting someone? I glanced at the room where Maddy went earlier. After a minute, he still hadn't come out. I hesitated, unsure whether to open the door or not. The doorbell rang three more times, so I stood up and opened the door. Whatever it is, it's his life. He was taking so long to come out. My eyes widened when I opened the door. The man outside was about to knock on my face, but he stopped when he saw the door was already open. There were two of them, and the one behind him was peeking at me. "Where's Madd—oops, the grumpy man has a special guest?" The man spoke as if he had just seen a beautiful woman for the first time—and that woman was me! "Oh, are you friends with Maddy? He's still in his room. He hasn't come ou

Sariel's point of view I woke up because I felt someone staring at me, and when I opened my eyes, I met the eyes of the person I adore. Just kidding, no flirting right now! I'm still hungover from what happened last night. He was just staring at me, as if I'd disappear if he blinked. I snapped my fingers in front of his face, and he blinked twice. "Good morning! I had a good sleep," I beamed excitedly, acting like I didn't have a terrible dream last night. It’s one of my quirks, pretending nothing terrible happened. A line appeared between his brows. "Are you sick?" He raised his eyebrows at me, looking at me as if he couldn't believe how I was acting now, given that last night I was on the verge of fainting. "Nope. I'm perfectly fine," I said as I got up. I forgot that I was wearing his long-sleeve shirt, and I wasn't wearing a bra or pants. He quickly looked away. "Oops, I'm sorry. I sneaked into your room last night, and good thing it was open. Don't worry, this is all I borr
