Betrayed I Upgraded to His Billionaire Brother novel Chapter 149

It was a quiet evening when Maya found herself sitting alone in the dimly lit café, the soft hum of conversations and clinking cups filling the air around her. She stared out the rain-speckled window, her thoughts tangled with memories she wished she could forget. The warmth of the coffee in her hands contrasted sharply with the chill settling in her heart.

Across the room, she noticed Liam, his familiar silhouette framed by the fading light. Their eyes met briefly, a silent exchange loaded with unspoken words and lingering emotions. She felt a flutter of hope mixed with the ache of past mistakes. The bustling café seemed to fade away as their shared history pulled them closer, even in the distance.

Maya’s fingers traced the rim of her cup, her mind racing through the moments that had brought them to this point. She remembered the laughter they once shared, the promises whispered under starlit skies, and the painful silence that followed their separation. Despite the years and the wounds, a part of her still longed for reconciliation.

Liam approached slowly, his expression a mix of hesitation and determination. “Maya,” he said softly, his voice barely above the ambient noise. “Can we talk?”

She nodded, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and anticipation. As he took the seat beside her, the world outside seemed to hold its breath, waiting for the next chapter of their story to unfold. The café, with its cozy corners and warm glow, became the backdrop for a fragile reunion, where hope and regret intertwined in the quiet evening air.
