All Chapters of The Betrayal: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Zyne's innocent voice filled the room as he looked up at his mother with wide, curious eyes. "Mommy, who's that?" he asked, pointing at Vincent.Vincent's eyes were fixed on his son, his heart swelling with emotion as he took in the sight of the little boy. It was the first time he had seen Zyne, and he couldn't believe how much he looked like him.When his investigator had first told him that Isabella had a son, Vincent had been sure that the boy was his. He had felt a surge of happiness and excitement at the thought of being a father.But as he looked at Zyne now, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret and sadness. He had left Isabella, the woman he loved, so that she could live her life peacefully. He had thought that he was doing the right thing, but now he wasn't so sure.Vincent's marriage to Megan had been a disaster. Despite her beauty and charm, he had never been able to feel the same way about her as he had about Isabella. There had always been a distance between them, a

Isabella sat in the living room, her eyes fixed on the door as she waited for the lawyer to arrive. Luca stood beside her, his eyes scanning the room as if searching for any sign of danger.The doorbell rang, and Luca immediately tensed, his hand on the gun holstered at his waist. Isabella's eyes flicked to him, and she nodded slightly. Luca relaxed, but only slightly, as he went to answer the door.A moment later, he returned with a middle-aged woman in a suit. The woman's eyes were keen, her face lined with age and experience."Isabella, this is Ms. Wendy Paul," Luca said, his voice low. "She's the best family lawyer in the city."Isabella stood, her hand extended. "Ms. Paul. Thank you for coming."Wendy Paul's handshake was firm, her eyes locked on Isabella's. "It's my pleasure, Isabella. Please, call me Wendy."Isabella nodded, gesturing to the couch. "Please, sit down."As they sat, Luca took up a position by the door, his eyes fixed on the hallway. Isabella's eyes flicked to him

Wendy Paul stood confidently before the judge, presenting her evidence against Vincent Moreno. But Vincent's lawyer, Mr. Jenkins, was not easily swayed."Your Honor, this evidence is circumstantial at best," Mr. Jenkins said, waving his hand dismissively. "These witnesses are unreliable, and these financial records can be explained away."Wendy's face fell, but she quickly regained her composure. "But what about the testimony from the former mafia member who came forward to testify against Mr. Moreno?" she asked.Mr. Jenkins smiled. "That testimony has been discredited, Your Honor. The witness has a history of dishonesty and has been proven to be unreliable."The judge nodded thoughtfully. "Very well. It seems that the evidence presented by Ms. Paul is not sufficient to prove Mr. Moreno's connections to organized crime."Vincent's lawyer smiled triumphantly. "Furthermore, Your Honor, we have evidence that proves Ms. Isabella and Mr. Moreno were indeed in a romantic relationship seven

Isabella walked down the hallway, checking on Zyne one last time before heading to her own room. She had just tucked him in and kissed him goodnight, and now she was looking forward to a quiet evening to herself.As she approached her bedroom door, the doorbell rang, shrill and insistent. Isabella's heart skipped a beat as she checked the time. Who could be visiting at this late hour?She felt a shiver run down her spine as she walked towards the front door. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should answer it, but something compelled her to open it.As soon as she turned the handle and pulled the door open, Vincent pushed his way inside, his eyes blazing with intensity. Isabella tried to scream, but he was too quick, pinning her against the wall as he clamped his hand over her mouth.She struggled and kicked, but Vincent was too strong, holding her in place with ease. Isabella's eyes widened in terror as she felt his warm breath on her face, his lips inches from hers.Vincen

The courtroom fell silent as Wendy, Isabella's lawyer, stood up to present her case. She walked confidently to the front of the room, a small smile playing on her lips."Your Honor, esteemed members of the court, today we have new evidence that will prove beyond a doubt that Vincent is not the loving father he claims to be," Wendy began, her voice clear and strong.She walked over to a large screen at the front of the room and clicked a button. Suddenly, a photograph appeared on the screen, showing Vincent standing next to a beautiful woman, a diamond ring gleaming on her finger."This is a photograph of Vincent and his fiancée, Megan Parker, daughter of James Parker," Wendy explained. "As you can see, they were deeply in love and engaged to be married."The courtroom erupted into a flurry of whispers and gasps, and Vincent's face turned bright red with anger.But Wendy wasn't finished yet. She clicked another button, and a second photograph appeared on the screen, showing Vincent sta
