Description
betrayal /bɪˈtreɪəl/ 1 the action of betraying one's country, a group, or a person; treachery. "the betrayal by the king by his daughter" 2 an act or instance of unconsciously revealing or displaying some quality or characteristic, typically one preferably concealed: A slight tremor in her hand was the only betrayal of her fear. Lei, 25 years old "You have two responsibilities in life and they're the only things I'll expect of you." Bà goes over the same rules I've heard my entire life. Leaning back in his chair he waits for me to confirm them by name and I straighten my shoulders knowing not to show weakness. "To the clan and to the family." Clasping his hands together on the wooden desk in front of him, my father becomes the feared man he is. "We must hold ourselves to a standard and I will not allow this betrayal against both our clan and family to go unpunished." Resisting the urge to wipe my sweaty palms on my trousers, I nod as dread snakes around me. *** Standing opposite her, I clasp the metal loosely and cup my knuckles with my other hand. It's a show of respect waiting for the others and they're enjoying the game of trying to see if I'm too weak. As the life leaves her eyes, any semblance of humanity I held on to forms into vengeance. Alix may not be here to assuage my guilt but, the person who started all this is. They'll pay for my betrayal. Alissandru When she steps into the room I'm fully focused because if I'm going to die at least it's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Lei Zhang has everything on my dream list. Amazing body, a bad ass attitude, able to kill a man with her bare hands, and the most fucking exquisite features I could ever lay eyes on. But she misses the one thing that's required and not listed, a soul.
