Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2: A husband's betrayal (2)

Cassandra held her hand out to greet Selene. She expected a different welcome from Selene but it was good to see that Selene wasn't going to make this hard for anyone.

Selene could not believe the audacity of this woman to think they would shake hands after she was introduced as Gabriel's mistress. Selene let out a dry laugh. She saw a glimpse of why Gabriel and this woman fell in love.

For someone with a short lifespan, Cassandra wasn't careful with her actions. Still, it was Gabriel who held Selene's anger.

Gabriel was furious with Selene for not returning Cassandra's greeting. Asking him if he had lost his mind in front of guests was embarrassing. "Are you so high up on what status you have left that you wouldn't return her greeting? She is my lover which means you must treat her with respect."

Each word Gabriel said was a stab to the heart to Selene. She was the one who remained to take care of the home and awaited his return yet he didn't show her any respect.

She had given her all to this marriage for what? This was how he repaid her?

"He brought a human," Selene heard the whispers of the vampires enjoying the sight.

Selene's lips were folded into a thin line showing her displeasure. "We need to talk in private," she said and then turned to head inside first.

This wasn't a conversation to have in front of their guests.

She had not anticipated entertaining them this way and she would not continue to give them something to speak about.

Gabriel followed Selene inside, still holding Cassandra's hand. Selene should have known it was going to come to this one day. He grew tired of their marriage being solely about helping each other.

Cassandra admired the mansion she would call home from now on. To think she had successfully placed herself next to a man like Gabriel who would unknowingly help with her plans for this kingdom.

Selene led the pair to a library which should be far away from any of the guests. She turned around to face the two who appeared oblivious to how embarrassing and wrong this was.

The library door was still open but Selene didn't want to pass the couple to close it. She didn't want to get closer to see Gabriel holding Cassandra's hand so lovingly.

Selene looked at Gabriel. He was the one who made a promise to her. "I asked you if you have lost your mind. How could you bring another woman into our marriage and ask that I accept her? I will not welcome her with open arms as you want. How could you be so foolish?"

She was a good wife to him. Why was this how he repaid her?
