The Betrayer. No.
"Let go of me, Belinda. I want to go to Tom. I need to hear what he has to say."That's not right, look at yourself, Katherina."I don't care how I look, I need to talk to Tom."You're only going to hurt yourself more, Katherina."I don't care!For a moment, Belinda managed to hold onto her as they left the house. But now, at this very moment when the clock struck past midnight, she couldn't hold onto her anymore. Katherina easily broke free, not caring about anything. She had gone far away from her, and when she turned around and saw Paddy and Harry, she knew there was nothing more she could do."Let her go," Harry said to Belinda. "Whether we like it or not... Whatever is meant to happen, will happen." He hugged her, as did his younger brother, and they turned to go back to the brunette's house. Harry was deeply saddened by what his brother had done. All of this was disappointing. All of this was painful...----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Betrayer. Heart broken.
The dawn was cold, and sunrise was approaching. Both Belinda and Jisoo were still staring at their phones, waiting for their friend Katherina to respond to their messages. They were worried, distressed. Their best friend, after letting her go to Tom's house to confront everything, hadn't returned, and they hadn't heard anything from her. She didn't reply to messages or calls from her other friends. It was as if she had gone far away, as if she didn't want to be near.Jisoo, who was still trying to call the brunette, felt a slight weight on her right shoulder. It was Belinda, leaning on her, and she told her that Katherina wasn't responding, and the others—Katherina's friends—said the same."Where could she be?" Carlos wondered, stirring his herbal tea, trying to stay calm. "I'm worried, it's already very late.""Too late," Belinda said, not letting up. "It's not the time for her to be out.""I agree, but poor her," Bam said, dropping onto the black sofa in Star's living room. "She mus

It was ten o'clock in the morning the next day. The morning was unusually warm for winter time. Clara, who woke up early, gently called the kids who were sleeping in the Star's living room, and as they woke up, she greeted them and they returned the greetings.Clara led them to the kitchen and prepared some coffee and tea, along with a somewhat neutral breakfast due to the events of last night."Katherina... Did you have the tea?" Iu asked, sitting with the others on the cedar stools around the table."After 5 attempts, she drank it," replied Clara with a chuckle, serving coffee. "She... will be fine.""It hurts to see her like this," Bam spoke, helping set the plates. "I've never seen her drunk in my life.""She only does it when she can't take it anymore," Belinda said, knowing her well. "Would you like some coffee?" she asked Harry and Harrison, who didn't say anything, unable to look at Clara, let alone Idris, who was coming downstairs. "Good morning, sir.""Not so good," he said,
The Betrayer. No way...
"Oh, he says his name is Tom, Tom Mikaelson."Something settled in the air, and it was silence. A silence that permeated the entire grand house of the brunette, to the extent that Min furrowed her brow, turned around, took a few steps, and looked at everyone from a distance. She said, or rather tried to say:"Should I leave...?""No!" They all said in unison, not letting her finish.Now, peeking out a bit from the gray pillar in the living room, Jisoo spoke with a chuckle:"No, Min, it's better not to, it's not the right thing to do."Min looked at her, puzzled and not understanding, and asked:"Why not?" she inquired. "He seems like a nice guy, I don't see anything wrong with him.""Everyone seems nice to you, Min," Bam said from the living room. "Not everyone is like you.""I know I'm unique and different, Bam. But the guy outside, I don't see anything strange about him. He just... asked if Katherine was here or not," she added, looking at the brunette and noticing in her dark, ches
The Betrayer. Go.
Something was simmering on the wrong side of the fence after Katherina's words. And that was the behavior of the dark-haired boy, standing with his father. That struggle was literally adding more gray hairs to his already graying head. He turned him around, still gripping his arm, and with a growl, he said:"You're pushing me to the edge, you hear me?" he asked, holding him tighter. "What just happened will not happen again.""That's not for you to decide," he managed to break free forcefully, looking at him. "Dad, please, I have to go."He walked past, and in that instant, his father grabbed him again, this time around his waist, their bodies pressed together as they struggled to move forward."Everything that's happening to you," he spoke, trying not to lose his grip, "is happening because you're acting like an idiot.""I'm a jerk, an idiot, good-for-nothing," he ranted through tears, directed at himself. "Come on, father, let me go."He was eternally grateful that his wife had forc

"He's an imbecile, a fool," he grumbled as he entered the house again, ranting and trying to quell his tears. "How I despise crying over him," he growled. And then, unexpectedly, he kicked the small table next to the door, causing the vase on top of it to fall and shatter. "Leave me alone," she pleaded, and her father pulled her into an embrace. She simply clung to her father, burying her face in his chest. "I hate him, Dad," she looked up at him, while he wiped away her tears. "I'll kill him," he said with a tense voice, Min expressed his anger, his jaw clenched. "Come here," he requested.He stepped away from her father and slowly approached him. He lowered his gaze and sniffled. Min took hold of his chin, finally making him look him in the face. Never in his worst memories had he seen Katherina so broken, which meant she loved that guy with such intensity, and now, all Min wanted was to punch him in the face. "I have to go to him," Harrison's voice broke the silence. Everyone loo

The cat-like eyes in Min were filled with suppressed tears. He was coming down from the brunette's room and went straight to the living room. Belinda, who was sitting on the sofa, asked him when she saw him, "What happened?""I don't know," he said. His voice was shaky as he walked towards her. "I mean... Katherina... She... Since when...?""Sing," Jisoo interrupted, getting up from the sofa. "Well," she sighed, "since you left, she's been finding solace in music. In fact, she started writing silly stuff after finishing her tattooing sessions. But... what happened up there that has affected you so much?""I heard her singing," he replied, as Carlos placed his arm on Min's shoulder, hugging him. "God," he trembled, "Katherina is a wreck.""Did... Did you see her?" Iu asked. Her face reflected concern. "What did she do this time?""I don't know. She didn't open the door for me, I just heard her sobbing," he replied, wiping away some tears. "Where are Mr. and Mrs. Jackson?" he asked late
The Betrayer. Pain 2.
The days passed like yellowish leaves until reaching the present moment:"Shh, be quiet," he whispered, motioning him to remain silent. His clear gaze remained fixed without even blinking, just like the rest. "What day is it today?""What kind of question is that?" he replied with a furrowed brow, answering with another question. "Today is Tuesday," he muttered."We should all be in class, right?" the brown-eyed one said, looking at everyone at the same spot."Exactly," they said in unison. "But... we don't have class today.""Ah...," they all said.They were all sitting on the couch, looking over it towards the table a few meters away. They just observed, trying not to make any sound. They watched as someone came in and out of the living room, until finally sitting down and doing what they had said, doodling."Will she get better?" he asked, resting his arm on the back of the couch and his chin on his hand. "Several days have passed since what happened, and...""Belinda," he interrup
