Celestia: Okay honey, thanks for making it. I'm afraid that Winter might see what we're talking about.

3:25 PM
Celestia: Tsk, you can't do that honey because you're with Winter later, you might do to her what you want to do to me.
3:26 PM
Kiel: What are you talking about honey? You know I can't do that to Winter because I don't really like her, I don't even kiss her because I'm disgusted by her.
3:27 PM
Kiel: You know that it's all just a bet, that's why I made her my girlfriend.

Celestia: Let's go to the hotel later.
That was the last message I read that I didn't think my friend could say!
I dropped the phone I was holding on the floor because my hands were so numb and I was shaking because of what I knew.
I didn't expect that Kiel and Celestia were both betraying me, and I even loved them both and told them the hidden secrets of my life. They are the people I trusted and loved with all my heart. But everything suddenly changed when I found out that they both betrayed me.
I didn't think they would do this to me. I thought they were my true friends and loved ones. But all of that was a failure because of their lies and deceit.
I don't understand why this kind of betrayal had to happen.
So everything that happened between Kiel and me was just a bet?
Does that mean our relationship with Kiel wasn't real?
It's not true that he likes me?
Everything he showed me wasn't real?
How did that happen?
---
It is a painful realization to discover that you have been deceived all along. Trust and honesty are the cornerstones of any relationship, be it romantic, friendship, or professional. To find out that someone you hold dear has been manipulating and lying to you is a betrayal that cuts deep.
Discovering that you have been deceived can be a harrowing experience. It forces you to question not just the integrity of the person who betrayed you, but also your own judgment and instincts. It makes you doubt the sincerity of past interactions and memories, wondering if they were all just part of an elaborate facade.
"You're done?" I was surprised when Kiel suddenly spoke. He was still grinning as he stood up.
"K-kiel, is what I read true?" I asked, confused, hoping it was all just a dream.
"You're still surprised even though you know the truth!" he said, annoyed, and came closer to hold me tightly by the chin.
Ouch!
Ugh!
It hurts!
"K-kiel, it hurts," I moaned and tried to remove his hand, but he didn't want to let go.
"Do you think I will feel sorry for you?" he asked angrily and abruptly removed his hand. My face hurt even more because of what he did; it felt like it was about to break.
"I didn't have any feelings for you from the beginning, so don't expect me to feel sorry for you!" he added and hit me.
His words and actions pierced me deeply, leaving me in tears and slumping on the floor. How could he have never felt anything for me? What about all the courtship, the tender care, the sweet gestures? Were they all just a charade?
I had believed he genuinely cared, but his cruelty shattered my trust. The pain was unimaginable, a stark contrast to the happiness I once felt. It was as if I had been living a lie, blind to his true intentions.
His affection, once a source of comfort, now felt like a distant memory. Was it all a performance, a calculated act to manipulate my emotions? I had been a pawn in his game of deceit, a fool who had opened my heart to someone who never truly valued me. The betrayal was overwhelming, a whirlwind of hurt and anger that consumed me. How could he be so callous, so indifferent to the pain he inflicted? Did he ever consider the impact of his actions on my heart?
Tears streamed down my face as the harsh reality of Kiel's true nature sunk in. The thought that he never truly cared for me was a bitter pill to swallow, leaving me with a gaping void of emptiness and longing.
"The bet's over, you won, Kiel!" A voice startled me, accompanied by the sound of clapping. A man, dressed casually in a white polo and denim pants, approached us. He looked affluent, emanating an air of confidence.
"You're the 3-month rule king!" Another man said, this time with a black sando and khaki cargo pants, emerged from the upstairs room, a camera in hand. He was filming, a mischievous grin on his face.
"W-what's the 3-month rule king?" I asked, confused, my voice trembling.
"Slut, don't you know?" Boy 1 sneered, his words laced with malice.
