THE BETRAYAL
It’s been two weeks since Katrina called off her engagement with her fiancé Ken. Katrina and Ken were engaged and set to marry to strengthen family ties and business ties—the Leonardes and Winston families. Both families controlled a significant degree of wealth and influence in the city. Of course, it would make sense that their children marry each other to seal such powerful relationships
Katrina and Ken grew up in the same neighborhood, attended the same school, and had other privileges that such wealthy families would enjoy.
But fate doesn’t always turn out the way we want it to be.
Katrina stood inside her room, pacing up and down, left and right.
Her heart filled with questions and second thoughts.
“Have I made the wrong decision by calling off this engagement?" she muttered.
“Or am I the cause of our failed relationship?" "Why didn't he beg me or even try to call me and apologize or chase after me?" Katrina soliloquised.
“Was I overreacting?"
Katrina quickly pulled herself together and mustered up some words of encouragement and told herself.
“There's no excuse for a cheating man, and I know I deserve much better than that... I cannot settle for such."
She said as she stood in front of her gigantic mirror, admiring her beauty and remembering she was the daughter of Mr. Leonardes. The mirror was tall from the ceiling to the floor, thereby giving the illusion that she was talking to her twin face-to-face.
Hey, babyface. "I'm thinking of leaving town," Katrina said to her best friend on the phone.
“Why? And where are you going to?"
Her best friend, Lucy, asked
“I’m going home; I need to clear my head… a fresh environment. You know it has been a lot for me since I called off my engagement with Ken."
“I totally understand you… I’m going to miss you a whole lot… But do not worry because I’m going to make sure I keep you updated so you won’t miss me too much."
“Thank you, baby face; that’s why you’re my best friend… I’ll start making preparations for my trip."
The next morning Katrina calls her dad to inform him that she will be coming home to spend some time at home.
