All Chapters of Beyond the betrayal : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Dorian's POVI stared at Anna's face as she processed the news I conveyed to her. She was trying to process everything and her face told the various stages of emotion she went through. Surprise, pain and was that anger I saw. I wasn't exactly sure.The way she reacted to what I told her was intriguing as was the expression on her face. I took mental notes of everything. It was important I did as I needed to understand her, because I wanted to help her.The moment she heard the words from my mouth about finding her ex-husband, the shock on her face was something else. Her eyes widened in shock and her breathing increased. It was as if I had opened an old wound. She looked very fragile at the moment and an overwhelming urge to hug her came on me but I didn't act on it.I leaned back on my chair, trying to give her space to process whatever was going through her head, I assumed they were not pleasant ones and it was very clear that it stirred something up inside of her.Something that h

Anna's POVI never thought that I would shed tear, because I thought I was over Marcus. I thought I had moved on from all the pain he caused me. But here I was, sitting in this place, staring into my glass of red wine, sobbing with tears flowing from my eyes. It didn’t make sense. I tried to stop myself, tried to hold back the tears, but somehow, they kept flowing. How could he just take my money and run away? He is heartless. How could he start a new life while I was left to pick up the pieces? He had the gut to do this to me. All those years I spent supporting him, working hard so he could chase his business ideas. And now, he was doing well without me. It felt unfair. I inhale and exhale trying to calm down but the tears refuse to stop coming out.I didn’t even realize I had let it all pour out.... sobbing... My body shaking. I was so lost in my thoughts and feelings that I completely forgot I wasn’t alone. I didn’t notice when Dorian came to sit beside me. He was quiet, just the

Anna's POVIt's the weekend already, how time flies... Spending the weekend alone without Marcus... Whatever. I've made up my mind to shut myself indoor, to start cleaning out the house... more than just dust and cobwebs. This wasn’t about the surface dirt. No, this was about the dirt that had stained my life, left by none other than Marcus. There were pieces of him, small and large, scattered throughout my home, I hadn’t realized were still there. But now, I could see them, and I wanted them gone. All of them.I began in the living room, moving from corner to corner, shelf to shelf. In the process of cleaning I found a movie ticket stub. It was from one of our early dates. I held it, staring down at the tiny piece of paper, just staring at it made my heart ache. He had bought that ticket for me. I could remember him laughing as we shared popcorn, him reaching over to hold my hand when I jumped at the scary parts.But then I reminded myself why I was doing this. Marcus. The man who ha

MARCUS' POVRubbing my face, I yawned slightly and opened my eyes. Right beside me was Rachel, who had spent the night with me. On her pretty face was a blissful smile, the kind of smile that sent warmth to my feeble heart and gave me the peace I never knew I could find. I touched her face, her soft, warm cheeks sending a silver of love through me, and a small smile bloomed on my face. I bent to plant a kiss on her cheeks and wiped it gently. "Good morning, Princess," I whispered into her ear. Staring around the suite, I couldn't help but think about how much my life had changed ever since I left Anna. It was as if she had always been a stumbling rock that would never give me the chance to move forward, but the moment I left her, things started changing for good. My life after Anna left was nothing but a dream to the past me, and at the moment, I couldn't help but regret having met her in the first place. "Babe," The tender voice of an angel broke the train of my thoughts and lo

DORIAN'S POV "What is the result of the meeting?" I rubbed my chin with a weary look on my face. I hated video calls the most, but because my assistant wouldn't be able to return until he finished the two meetings we had in California.He was done with one, but he still had one left, "The meeting was in our favor, Dorian. Mr Silvestre was against our objectives at first, but after a few drags with him, he succumbed to our requests and signed the contracts. The only person who wanted to act stubborn was the bald man...""So, did you solve that?" I pulled on my tie as I asked. "Yes, I saw him after the meeting, and we talked a lot more. I spent last night arranging girls for him, and this morning, He called me to sign the contract." He explained, and I nodded my head in approval. He did well as usual. "Have you prepared for the meeting you have tomorrow?" I asked, feeling a bit interested. He chuckled and shook his head, "I wonder when you will get used to this, Dorian. You look l
