His Regret Deception And Betrayal novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

I dozed off, and when I woke up, Cathy’s WhatsApp messages were popping up like a barrage of bullets.

I didn’t even have time to reply before screenshots and messages came crashing down on me.

Cathy: [Elowen, take a look at this. This is your boyfriend, Jaxon.]

I clicked on the first screenshot. It was a page from a financial news website.

The headline was huge and jarring. [Gable Group Heir Matthew Gable Makes His First Public Appearance, Possibly Set to Marry the Heiress of York Group.]

I stared intently at the name Matthew, feeling as if my heart was being tightly clenched by an invisible hand, almost suffocating me.

Below was a photo. In it, a handsome man was surrounded by a crowd, standing under the spotlight.

He was dressed in a well–tailored suit, with a faint smile on his face, exuding an innate air of nobility in every gesture. That was Jaxon. No, that was Matthew.

My fingers trembled as I enlarged the photo and scrutinized his face carefully.

I was all too familiar with this face.

I had caressed and kissed it countless times.

But now, it felt so strange, so distant.

Cathy: [Elowen, snap out of it. He doesn’t even go by Jaxon. His name is Matthew. He’s the heir of the Gable family, who have been keeping his identity a closely guarded secret until recently.]

Cathy: [You know the Gable family, right? They’re the real deal when it comes to high society. People like us don’t even deserve to serve them.]

Cathy: [His being with you was just a game. You really thought he would marry you?]

I didn’t reply to Cathy. I just mechanically opened the next screenshot.

It was a photo of a wedding invitation.

The gold–embossed font and exquisite design all spoke to the opulence and grandeur of the wedding.

The groom was Matthew Gable.

The bride was Hedy York.

Cathy: [Elowen, let me tell you, Matthew and Hedy’s wedding is set for the fifth of next month, at the Gable Hotel.]

Cathy: [You know the Cable Hotel? It’s the most luxurious hotel in the city. A single table at the reception costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.]

Cathy: [With a family background like the Gables, even we are out of their league. Not to mention you]

I understood what Cathy was trying to tell me.

She was saying that Jaxon and I were never in the same world to begin with.

I should have faced the reality sooner and let go.

Cathy: [Elowen, take my advice and break up with him. It’s better to have a quick, sharp pain than a long, drawn–out one. He’s been lying to you all along. That’s unforgivable.]

Cathy: [Staying with him will only lead to more heartbreak.]

She was right.
