Betrayal's Echo: A Husband's Resolve

Betrayal's Echo: A Husband's Resolve

I had everything planned for the Starlight Foundation Gala. A new suit for me, a tiny dress for our daughter, Lily, and a stunning gown for my wife, Scarlett Hayes. Lily was buzzing, clutching her dress. "Daddy, is Mommy coming with us?" she asked, her eyes wide with hope. Then the call. Scarlett' s voice, cold and distant: "Promises can be broken when a career is on the line." She hung up, leaving Lily's hopeful gaze to dim into familiar sadness. My heart sank, but I vowed she wouldn' t ruin another night for our daughter. Later, at the glittering gala, the host introduced a woman who represented "family, success, and pure talent." My blood froze. Scarlett She emerged, radiant, on stage. But not alone. Jake Peterson, her ex, held her hand. And a boy, Lily' s age, held his. The host gushed, "Scarlett, you and your partner Jake are an inspiration! How do you balance such a successful career with being such a devoted mother and partner?" Scarlett laughed, looking at Jake. "It's all about priorities. They are my world." My world. The words echoed, a punch to my gut. Lily whispered, "Daddy, why is Mommy with them? Who is that little boy?" Rage, cold and sharp, cut through my shock. This wasn' t a last-minute shoot. This was a calculated, public betrayal. I stood up, ready to confront her, my daughter clutching my jacket. "Scarlett." I demanded, "Who are these people? What is this?" Her brief panic vanished. "I have no idea who you are," she said, dripping with false sympathy. "Security, please escort this man and the child out. He's scaring my son." The crowd erupted, jeering at me. My wife had erased us. As guards moved in, her lips formed two silent words: "The clause." Then my phone buzzed. A text from Scarlett: "This is for the show. Play along." A bitter laugh escaped me. Play along? No. She had chosen fame over family, a lie over love. She had crossed a line. And I was no longer heartbroken. I was resolved. She wanted a scene? I would give her a war. I would burn her fake world to the ground.
The Mafia Lover

The Mafia Lover

'I told you not to hit that girl anymore' Malli told me. I just frowned because of what he said. He really blamed me, I'm the one who doesn't have a place to live now. "I've told you many times Malli, I'm the one who avoids.. but she keeps on pestering me" I just scratched the back of my neck while walking on the side of the road. I was carrying a large suitcase that contained my belongings. The landlord of my apartment just kicked me out, just because that b*tch paid him to! "So annoying" I whispered. I begged my friend Malli that if possible, I would stay with them first. But she refused, and I understand why. 'You know there are a lot of us here at home.. Aunt Orlen's head will only get hot if there are more' Regretfully said my friend. She apologized to me for not being able to help me this time. But I assured her that it's fine. "What's up Malli, that's okay.. I should be thanking you, because you're always there when I have problems like this" I smiled while talking. We talked for a few more minutes and then I hung up. I let out a deep breath as I dragged the suitcase. When I got tired I stopped in an alley to take a rest. There is no one on the road because maybe it is getting late. But I was confused when I realized that it's so oddly quiet. "Weird" I whispered to myself. I started walking again, I had planned to go to my cousin's house and stay there at least one night. But I was stunned when I heard something. "Agh" I heard someone moan. I frowned when I saw a figure approaching in my direction. Do this while bent and holding the left arm. "Mister, are you alright-" What I was about to say was cut short when he suddenly pointed a gun at me. My eyes widened in shock. "stay away" His tone was cold and serious. I just nodded because I don't want to die! I swallowed when I saw his bloody arm that he was now covering with one of his hands. As he said I stayed away from him. I was about to leave because of fear when suddenly I heard a gunshot. "F*ck" said the man irritable. "Really f*ck!" I screamed when I realized that the bullet passed between us just close to me. I quickly ran and so did the man I was talking to. We passed several alleys but I still didn't stop running. This guy I'm with just follows me. "Why are you following me? They're after you, aren't they? Don't let me empathize!" I shouted while still running. I heard footsteps chasing us that's why I panicked. "I don't know this place that well, so please just shut up and lead me anywhere safe." He said it simply without any worry or fear on his face! But he is right, there are many alleys here so you may get lost or end up in a dead end. But given that I have memorized this place I will never get lost. I was so nervous that I almost fell, but the man with me immediately supported me. We stopped running for a while. "D*mn it" The guy groaned, I saw his leg bleeding. Passing it, I can see our pursuers. The man immediately pulled me to run to get away. "Jusko, what's the matter, I'm going to die today!" I was panicking, a few tears were building up in my eyes. "Don't be so dramatic" says the guy who dragged me into this! "Your face is dramatic! You're the reason why I'm in this situation and then you say something like that? What a j*rk!" I promise. We ran for a few more seconds until we got tired and stopped and hid in an abandoned building. "What now?" I will ask. "They're still following us" He says while ripping his black shirt and bandaging the wound on his arm. Now he doesn't have a cover anymore. I just averted my eyes because of that. We were sitting next to each other on the floor, even though it was dark around me I could see his muscular arms and chest. I can also see his bright eyes. There's a hint of gray in his eyes, I think it has a race. "They're only after you, I'm out of there" When I stopped. I crossed my arms and turned my back on him. I heard his gun go off that's why I looked at it. I see how alert and serious he is. I swallowed because those who were chasing us might have found us earlier. Well technically they are only after him, I just feel sorry for him! "I swear, when I die I will really haunt you." I said nervously as I seemed to hide behind him. He didn't even look at me, instead he focused on inspecting the surroundings. I made the sign of the cross because it looks like the people who want to kill him are already here. Lord, please don't leave me alone, I promise to be really kind. My little prayer, but. My eyes widened when my cellphone rang. The man next to me immediately picked it up and quickly hung up. My mouth fell when I heard a gunshot. "Oh my god" I whispered under my breath. "Fuck! ng bastards" The man beside me growled. He stood up and looked at the door. When it was sure that no one was there, it came out. "Don't leave me" I whispered. "Just stay there, I'll be back" He calmly says. I followed what he said and just hid. Why did I end up in this situat
