*"You think you can just walk back into my life after all these years?" Xander's voice was cold as he stared at Bella, who met his gaze without flinching.* *Bella smirked, unfazed. "I'm not here for a reunion, Xander. I'm here to watch you fall. You and your precious Victoria."* *Xander's jaw tightened at the mention of Victoria, but Bella pressed on, her words sharp and unforgiving. "You took everything from me...... my love, my life, my dignity. Now, it's my turn." *But as Bella draws closer to tearing down the man who shattered her heart, she uncovers secrets that could ruin not just him, but everyone he cares about.* *"You still care," he whispers one night, a vulnerability in his voice that catches Bella off guard, leaving her torn between the revenge she's chased for so long and the feelings she thought she'd buried.* *"Maybe I do," she murmurs, though deep down she knows it's not that simple. Now, Bella must choose.....will she follow through with her plan for revenge, or will she risk everything, including her heart, one last time?*

Chapter 1 Betrayal by Desire

Bella William hurried up the steps of the townhouse she shared with Xander Alexander. She had left work early because she'd forgotten an important file.

Her heart beat fast, not just from rushing, but from excitement. She couldn't wait to share her news........, she had just been promoted.

As she reached the front door, she noticed it was slightly open. That was strange. Xander was always careful about locking up.

"Xander?" Bella called as she stepped inside. The house was quiet.

She walked through the hallway, her heels clicking on the hardwood floor. A feeling of unease crept up her spine. Something felt wrong. She took a deep breath and headed upstairs.

The bedroom door was slightly open. She pushed it wider, and her heart stopped.

Xander was in bed, but he wasn't alone. Lying beside him, wrapped in sheets, was Victoria Smith......her best friend.

Bella froze, her world crumbling in an instant. It felt like all the air had been sucked out of the room. This couldn't be happening.

"Xander...?" Her voice was a whisper, full of shock and pain.

Xander looked up, but instead of being startled or guilty, he only smirked. He didn't even bother to cover up or explain. Victoria, after a brief look of surprise, relaxed and smiled at Bella, a cruel, knowing smile.

"Bella," Xander said calmly, "I didn't expect you back so soon."

Bella's voice trembled as she asked, "What is this? How could you do this to me?"

Victoria laughed softly, running her fingers through Xander's hair. "Oh, Bella. You really didn't know? Xander and I......."

"Shut up, Victoria," Bella snapped, trying to hold herself together. She looked at Xander, pleading with her eyes. "Xander, please tell me this isn't real. Tell me this is a misunderstanding."

Xander's smirk grew wider as he slowly got out of bed, not caring that Victoria was still beside him. "A misunderstanding? No, Bella, this is exactly what it looks like. I never loved you."

The words cut deep. Bella felt like she had been punched in the chest. She took a step back, barely able to stand. "What...what are you saying?"

Xander, now wearing his robe, walked toward her, his expression cold and distant. "You were just a tool, Bella. A means to an end. All that talk about love, about our future.....it was all a lie."

Bella's tears began to fall. "But why? Why would you do this?"

"Simple," Xander replied, his voice emotionless. "I needed your money and your connections. You were easy to fool. You handed everything to me."

Bella's heart shattered, but she wiped her tears away, refusing to break down. "You're a monster, Xander," she said, her voice shaking. "And you," she turned to Victoria, "you're nothing but a snake."

Victoria shrugged, completely unbothered. "Call me what you want. In the end, I'm the one in Xander's bed, not you."

Bella clenched her fists, trying to hold back the overwhelming pain. "You think you've won, Xander? You think you can just use me and toss me aside?"

Xander crossed his arms, looking at her like she was nothing. "I already have, Bella. You're nothing to me."

Those words hurt more than anything, but they also sparked something inside her......a burning anger, a resolve she didn't know she had. "You'll regret this, Xander," she said, her voice low and determined. "I swear, you'll regret this."

Xander laughed, a cold, empty sound. "And what are you going to do, Bella? I've taken everything from you. You have nothing left."

Bella blinked back her tears, straightening up. "You're wrong, Xander. You may have taken everything, but you haven't broken me. I will make you pay for this."

Victoria rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. Save the drama, Bella. You're out of your league."

Bella ignored her, focusing on Xander. "This isn't over. I'll make sure you pay for this betrayal. And when I do, you'll wish you never met me."

Xander's smirk faltered for a split second, but he quickly recovered, turning away from her. "We're done here, Bella. Leave and don't come back."

Bella stood there for a moment, her heart aching, but she refused to let them see her crumble. She turned and walked out of the room, her steps steady despite the storm inside her.

As she reached the front door, she paused, her hand hovering over the doorknob. She took a deep breath, gathering her strength. She wasn't the same person who had walked into that room. She had been betrayed, but she wouldn't let that be the end of her story.

Bella stepped outside, the cool night air hitting her face. She didn't know where she would go or what she would do, but one thing was clear.......Xander would pay for what he had done.

She pulled out her phone and dialed a number she hadn't used in years. As the phone rang, she felt a new sense of determination. The person on the other end picked up, and Bella spoke, her voice steady and strong.

"I'm back in town," she said. "I need your help. It's time for payback."

The voice on the other end chuckled. "I've been waiting for your call. Let's get started."

Bella hung up, a small smile forming on her lips. She had been knocked down, but she wasn't out. Not yet. Xander had no idea what was coming.
