Chapter 64: Discover the betrayal
“Kevin, I don’t want to hear any more of your meaningless words,” said Desi, her expression filled with determination. Kevin’s words worried, unsettled, and pressured her. Kevin’s lack of respect for Desi also insulted her.
“Meaningless? Have you thought about what you’re saying, Desi?” Kevin raised his voice in criticism. He felt frustrated and dissatisfied for not being able to convince Desi to accept his point of view.
It’s evident that both of them are in a very tense state. This debate is very intense.
Outside, Ansel was shocked to hear a familiar name from Desi’s mouth. To confirm whether the person Desi was referring to was Kevin, his friend, or not, Ansel gently opened the door to peek inside. Ansel’s eyes widened when he saw Kevin standing in the middle of the room, facing Desi. Kevin’s face at this time looked very agitated.
Suspicion immediately arose in Ansel’s mind about Desi and Kevin. What are they talking about? Ansel couldn’t guess. Ansel has never doubted the relationship between Desi and Kevin. As far as Ansel knows, Kevin and Desi are quite close to each other. They were childhood friends. It’s not that Ansel is biased or indifferent; he just isn’t interested in that. Another part of Ansel trusts Desi and Kevin. But at this moment, Ansel has bad intuition about everything. Ansel wants to know the final answer. Therefore, he decides to patiently listen.
“Kevin. Please respect my decision and don’t bother me anymore.” Ignoring Kevin’s question, Desi pleaded, “I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you forgive me.”
Upon finishing her words, Kevin swiftly reached out and grabbed the girl’s hand, preventing her from turning around and leaving.
“Desi, you can’t leave. We haven’t finished yet.” Kevin’s voice was firm.
“Let me go, Kevin,” Desi demanded sternly, “I have something important to do.”
“It’s not that easy, Desi,” Kevin persisted. “You have to listen to me.”
“Kevin,” Desi pleaded, struggling to break free from Kevin’s firm grip, “please stop. You’re hindering my important work.”
“Desi, I love you,” Kevin suddenly confessed. “I love you more than Ansel. Remember how many things I’ve done for you? I’ve done things that Ansel has never done for you.”
“That’s not true,” Desi frowned, arguing back, “Ansel has also…”
“Desi, don’t blindly defend Ansel anymore,” Kevin interrupted, his voice growing louder by the minute. “Ansel doesn’t deserve your love. He’s someone who can’t keep his promises, causing you pain. Even when he was sick, he didn’t bother to tell you. That proves you mean nothing to Ansel. He doesn’t trust you at all. Stay with me, and we can be happy together.”
“No, I can’t do that.” Desi refused, standing firm by Ansel’s side. “Ansel has his own suffering; that’s why he kept his cancer a secret from me. What’s important is that I love Ansel. I can’t just abandon him at this time.”
“Ansel doesn’t need you, Desi,” Kevin relentlessly attacked, filling Desi’s mind with negative thoughts about Ansel.
“That’s not true; Ansel needs me.” Desi firmly defended her stance.
“Don’t deceive yourself anymore, Desi. I know your true confidant is me, not Ansel,” Kevin confidently stated.
“That’s not true; don’t talk nonsense.” Desi tried to deny it, but Kevin interrupted:
“Enough, Desi. Don’t pretend in front of me anymore. If you don’t love me, you wouldn’t have fallen into my arms, kissed me passionately, or let me touch and pamper you.”
“Don’t misunderstand, Kevin. Those things aren’t what you think,” Desi scolded. How dare Kevin reveal that secret? “You’re delusional.”
“We’ve slept with each other behind Ansel’s back many times; don’t tell me you don’t have feelings for me,” Kevin taunted. “You’ve done enough with me-things you’ve never done with Ansel. Tell me, has Ansel ever kissed you as much as I have? Has he touched you? Has he made you sigh and moan with pleasure like I have?”
Another shocking revelation for Ansel Now Ansel can determine what the shady relationship between Kevin and Desi is. God, why didn’t Ansel realize it before? Ansel was too heartless and naive. And as a result, Ansel was stabbed in the back by his best friend and girlfriend. This is unacceptable and unforgivable.
“That’s enough, Kevin. Shut up,” Desi snapped. She was both frightened and angry. “Ansel respects me; that’s why he never crossed that line.”
“Nonsense, that just proves you’re not interested in Ansel,” Kevin said confidently. “And why did you give yourself completely to me instead of Ansel?”
“Because, oh God, Kevin, I was drunk. I wasn’t in my right mind,” Desi tried to explain. “And you took advantage of me.” Desi was getting worked up and wanted to blame Kevin for everything.
“So what about the times after that? Was I forcing you, or did you willingly do it?” Kevin calmly recalled, leaving Desi paralyzed.
Desi could only remain silent in the face of Kevin’s hurtful words. In truth, Ansel had never done anything beyond Desi’s limits. They only hugged and kissed normally, without any display of desire, passion, or lust. But with Kevin, Desi had done so many things with him that it could be considered adultery.
There was an awkward silence that suffocated everyone. Ansel still didn’t want to leave; he wanted to know where this conversation would lead.
“Desi, please reject Ansel’s proposal.” Kevin shattered the silence. He begged in pain.
Once again, Ansel felt shocked. How did Desi know about the plan? Ansel asked himself this and suddenly felt angry thinking about his mother. It was she who betrayed him by revealing the information to Desi beforehand.
Indeed, Ansel’s mother had informed Desi about the event and Ansel’s plan to propose to her. That prompted Desi to quickly seek out Kevin and ask him to end their secret relationship. Kevin strongly opposed Desi’s decision. However, despite all the resistance, Desi remained determined, causing Kevin to feel hurt. Desi’s decision to abandon him was something Kevin could not accept, so he tried everything to persuade her to change her mind.
“Kevin, I can’t. I love Ansel.” Desi choked and said this, looking deep into Kevin’s eyes. She used tears to seek sympathy from Kevin.
“You’re lying!” Kevin yelled. “If you love Ansel, then why are you with me?”
“I made a mistake when I did that. I’m sorry, Kevin,” Desi said with false morality. “At that time, I was just lonely.”
After listening, even Ansel felt outraged and couldn’t accept Desi’s actions. Imagine how the victim, Kevin, would feel. Surely very disappointed, hurt, and deeply wounded.
“What am I to you, Desi? Your backup plan?” Kevin asked bitterly.
“I’m sorry,” Desi said sheepishly. It was unclear whether she was remorseful or felt guilty. But Ansel thought he wouldn’t trust Desi anymore.
“You like Ansel because of his looks and wealth,” Kevin raged. “You’re a materialistic girl. I bet when Ansel is poor and ugly, you won’t like him anymore.”
“What you say is not true.” Desi stubbornly denied Kevin’s accusations, almost shouting. “I don’t want to hear you say anything else. I have to go back to the party. Ansel is probably looking for me.”
However, Kevin refused to give up. “If you don’t listen to me,” he angrily said, “I’ll tell Ansel that you slept with me. You’ll lose Ansel forever. Not only that, but your modeling career will also end.”
Kevin’s threat made Desi angry. “You’re terrible!” Desi shouted. “I can’t believe this is how you love me. I’ll never stay with you.”
Desi rushed towards Kevin and hit him in the chest. Kevin’s hurtful words made Desi very upset. Kevin grabbed both of Desi’s hands, pushing her against the wall.
“Desi. I did that because I love you. I need you, I really need you.” After saying this, Kevin immediately attacked Desi’s inviting lips.
At first, Desi resisted, but she didn’t seem to be too enthusiastic about resisting. Gradually, Desi responded to Kevin’s passionate and intense kiss. They clung to each other, unaware that through the slightly open door, Ansel had seen everything. Ansel had also heard the confessions of both.
When he saw Kevin’s violent and uncontrolled actions, it was unclear why Ansel stood still instead of bursting to rescue Desi. Did Ansel know that intervening would be futile? Or did he not want to interfere?
The couple continued to embrace each other, and their kiss became longer and longer.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Ansel suddenly felt a surge of rage. He was angry about being betrayed. But strangely, his heart felt a bit happy. At this moment, Ansel’s heart didn’t feel any pain or discomfort, unlike when Nika talked about him dating Erica.
It’s very clear now. Ansel didn’t love Desi. He never did. Because if he did, his heart probably would have collapsed when he witnessed this scene of betrayal.
After discovering a big truth, the knot in his heart was untied. Now what should Ansel do?
With emotions full of chaos, Ansel turned around and walked away, not wanting to see Desi and Kevin anymore.
