Here is the translation of the text into English: "My boyfriend Zhao Wei'an had a huge argument with me over my childhood friend. Three months later, he came knocking on my door. 'Weiwei, it's been three months. Do you realize your mistake? This time I'll forgive you, but next time you can't do that again...' Me? Behind the door, I was passionately kissing his cousin. After three days of cold war, I had already taken it as a breakup. You can't say Scorpio men aren't patient, right? The reason I agreed to be with Zhao Wei'an in the first place was because he looked like his cousin. Now that the white moonlight has returned, who still remembers the stand-in?"

Betrayed: Turn to Embrace for Love Chapter 1

Boyfriend Brendan had a huge argument with me over his childhood sweetheart.

Three months later, he showed up at my door.

"Kacie, it's been three months. Do you realize your mistake now?

I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again..."

Me?

Behind the door, I was passionately kissing his cousin in the entryway.

After three days of cold war, I had silently agreed to break up.

Who says a man can't hold a grudge?

I had agreed to be with Brendan because he resembled his cousin.

Now that my idealized past love had returned from abroad, who would still want a stand-in?

"Kacie, are you home?"

Brendan knocked on the door. It was the first time we had fought, and also the first time he sought reconciliation.

Although Brendan had pursued me, he had always been the one in control of our relationship.

My temperament was mild, and unless something hurt my pride, I would never get angry easily.

"Kacie, it's been three months. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again..."

Brendan's words made me burst into laughter.

Evan, who was kissing me tenderly, was not pleased.

He lifted my chin with one hand, his dark eyes beneath the gold-rimmed glasses were terrifyingly deep.

"Kacie... focus..." he said, and before the smile could fade from my lips, he took off his glasses and kissed me again with concentration.

Evan was someone who took everything seriously.

As I drowned in Evan's tenderness, I listened to Brendan's rambling outside the door.

Evan frowned slightly, released me from his almost suffocating embrace, and glanced towards the door.

"He's too noisy... I'll go explain to him..."

"No... don't go..." I stopped him, slightly breathless.

I didn't want to argue over such a trivial matter late at night.

"Alright... I'll listen to you..." Evan said as he lifted me in his arms and carried me to the bedroom.

At the door, Brendan, thinking I wasn't home, called his childhood friend Jeffry.

"Hey, didn't you say Kacie was home?

Why is no one answering?"

Jeffry was also puzzled. Just half an hour ago, he had seen her return to Rosewood Terrace with his own eyes. How could she not be home?

Unable to get a clear answer, Brendan impatiently hung up the phone.

He thought for a moment, opened his phone's blacklist, pulled out a familiar number, and pressed dial.

"The number you have dialed is not answering..."

Brendan felt a surge of irritation and an inexplicable sense of unease.

He called the elevator and began calling mutual friends to inquire about my whereabouts.

Brendan hadn't heard the faint ringtone in the living room, perhaps muffled by the scattered clothes.

"Haven't yet turned the memories into lingering wounds..."

"Then sharing together will make it clearer..."

"The sorrow of longing..."

When I was twenty, I met Brendan at the same university.

His pursuit of me was grand and well-known throughout the campus.

On my birthday, he organized a lavish display of flowers for the celebration.

He lit heart-shaped candles under the dormitory building.

Every day, without fail, he would bring a bouquet of roses, and various luxury gifts piled up on my dorm room desk.

Looking at Brendan's sincere face, I saw the shadow of that 18-year-old boy.

I gave in and accepted his proposal.

I am both devoted and selfish.

During graduation season, I was busy sending out resumes and working on my thesis. Brendan had a family business, and his future was already arranged.

He had once suggested I join his company, but I refused.

I always kept things clear, whether it was relationships or work.

Until one day, I received an offer from a fashion company I admired.

I was so happy that I wanted to call Brendan to share the good news, but I couldn't reach him.

I went to the club where he and his friends often gathered.

The door was ajar, and as I pushed it open a crack, I froze.

Inside, Brendan had a girl sitting on his lap, and they were feeding each other drinks.

When their glasses were empty, his friends cheered them on.

"Brendan, you and Millie must be hiding something from us!

You two are a perfect match!"

"Yeah, just dump Kacie and marry Millie already!"

The girl in his arms stood up and playfully said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just a dare. Brendan and I are close friends!"

Brendan lit a cigarette and laughed nonchalantly, "What?

Do you like my girlfriend?

Are you trying to steal her from me?"

Outside the door, I felt like a toy being passed around among these wealthy heirs.

"Who would dare!

But Kacie is truly beautiful, her figure is mesmerizing!"

Through the hazy smoke, Brendan's expression was unclear, and he replied indifferently, "Alright!

When I'm tired of her, you guys can go after her, as long as you don't mind."

My right hand clenched the doorknob, knuckles turning white, and I couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brendan, you're a jerk!"

I stood in front of him, my neck stiff with anger. A flash of panic crossed his face, but he quickly frowned.

"What are you doing here..."

Before he could finish, I splashed a glass of wine at him.

Millie, quick on her feet, stepped in to block it.

The amber liquid soaked her white dress, revealing the lingerie underneath.

I intended to splash Brendan, not expecting Millie to shield him.

The room erupted in gasps, and Brendan stood up, hurriedly grabbing tissues to help her wipe off, then draped his suit jacket over her.

"Kacie, are you crazy?"

Brendan's brows were full of anger as he pushed me.

I hit the wall hard, the pain in my back bringing me to my senses.

All eyes in the room were on me, mocking and looking down on me.

I finally woke up from the dream I had woven.

Brendan was not him, and he never could be.

I straightened my back and stood in front of him, "Brendan, we're breaking up!

You're free now!"

Then I turned and left.

I knew Brendan wouldn't come after me.

His pride wouldn't allow it, and my pride wouldn't let me endure such humiliation again.

He had initiated this relationship, and I always felt I had to accommodate him more for it to be fair.

In our two years of dating, I never argued with him. When conflicts arose, I would try to go along with his choices.

He even sometimes said, "Kacie, you're too good, almost unreal."

Because I harbored a secret, I felt I had to treat him better.

In the end, he never took me seriously.

It was a mistake from the start; I shouldn't have had ulterior motives.

Perhaps this situation is the universe's way of punishing me.

It doesn't matter anymore; time will set everything right.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
