All Chapters of Betrayal's Embrace: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Carson's Point of View.The only thing that could be heard around the whole table was Charmaine's spoon which kept on hitting the cup. It was consistent and it was annoying. And even if others noticed it, they wouldn't talk. Nobody would. Nobody wanted to make the boss's sister uncomfortable. Surely, they knew making her uncomfortable would make them uncomfortable. Okay, this place was too quiet. And I just couldn't continue like this. Deciding to make things a little too interesting and well... Annoying for Charmaine, I turned to Jackson who had toast just about his lips."So, Curt. How are you?" I asked, making Charmaine drop her fork. She immediately picked it up again. I turned to look at Morris, but he too had a

Katy's Point of View.We entered into the dark place. I couldn't see anything but I knew I wasn't alone. And I also knew that there was no heater there. It was a few seconds in and I was already freezing to death. Light illuminated the room again and I searched for who turned the light on. It was Carson. My eyes found Charmaine who stood at the other corner of the room, her hand clutching tightly to a baseball bat. She exhaled, touching her chest with her free left hand."Are you okay?" Morris asked."I'm fine. I'm alright. You guys did not come as quickly as promised. I was scared to death with all the gunshots. Is anybody hurt?""No. Not really. I do think Adelaide n

Katy's Point of View.Charmaine stared at him for a while, obviously loss for words. When she realized they were not alone and that Adelaide and I were being entertained by the mini 'Romeo and Juliet's they were putting up, she diverted her gaze back to me. She cleared her throat. And then to Adelaide. Jackson wasn't embarrassed. No, he seemed at ease. Maybe he'd been dying to say that to her and then he finally did and he was at peace with it."I guess it's your turn again, Adelaide." She said, her voice was squeaky. I smiled. From the way she was behaving, it was obvious that he was not alone in how he felt."Um... Um... Well, I don't really talk to my mom now. We're kinda in a bad place now but every night or sometimes in the after

Katy's Point of View.Carson thanked the man who handed him the keys to the jet and started making his way into the pilot section. I wanted to talk to him. To clear the air. Make things a little bit easier for both of us. We hadn't as much as said anything to each other and for two people that shared a kiss before, it was awkward. Besides... I missed talking to him. I missed seeing him try to be all normal with me, when we both knew he wanted nothing but to just talk like we were the only people in the room. I wasn't supposed to miss all of these, but I did. I followed him to the pilot section, looking back at the others before entering after him without his permission. Adelaide seemed to be in a deep conversation with Morris. Charmaine was pr

Katy's Point of View.With everything that has happened today, I had no idea that I could still be hungry but when Charmaine called us down from our rooms, the aroma of pizza kept me going even when I felt I couldn't move any longer. Adelaide stepped beside me. Her smile was weak but it was there."You're alright?" She asked. It was my turn to smile back."I should be asking you that. I was worried about you earlier, you know. I'm really happy that you're okay.""I had never seen a gun in my entire life and then I have an encounter with a real one with a full bullet. When the shots grew louder and louder, I honestly thought that I was going to die.
