Betrayal: Abby's Guilt (The Betrayal Series) Read Online Free Page A

eighty thousand dollars. I have my checkbook right here in my bag. I’m not bullshitting.”
    “Holy shit, Goddess Brianna. You have that kind of money?” Sweet Matt blurted out before stepping between Kyle and Brianna. “Seriously, marry me? Please? Don’t let the small matter of my penis get in the way of us. Look, if my penis bothers you, I’ll just get rid of it. I don’t care. I don’t even use it that much anyway.”
    Matt’s roommates snickered at his hilarious desperation. Brianna shook her head at Matt, not sure if he was serious or joking about the chopping off his penis part. She patted him on the cheek before turning her attention back to Kyle and the wager.
    “And if you beat Kyle, what do you get, Brianna?” Ryan, the birthday boy, asked.
    “Well, if I win…I don’t know…Let me think.” Brianna turned her back to Matt and Kyle and began to walk around the pool table. “What do I want?” She kept asking herself under her breath until she had completed one full trip around the pool table and was once again in Kyle’s face.
    “You know Kyle, that girlfriend of yours… What’s her name again?”
    Kyle narrowed his eyes and cocked his head to the side. “Abby. Her name’s Abby. What about her?”
    “Right. Abby. She sure is a pretty little thing. I’d love to get a little taste of those pouty lips. If I win the pool game, that’s what I want, Kyle. I want to kiss your girlfriend, and I want you to watch me do it.” Brianna’s face broke into a slow smile as she witnessed rage build behind Kyle’s eyes. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for Kyle’s response to her outrageous but totally serious wager proposal.
    Kyle white-knuckled the pool table as he scowled at his fucked up sister. He had never hit a woman in his life, but Brianna was putting him on the verge of changing that. Once again, dead silence descended over the room. Ryan and his roommates stared at Brianna with their mouths hanging open before their eyes darted to Kyle. They too were waiting with bated breath for Kyle’s response.
    “No. No way. That’s not going to happen. Wager something else,” Kyle replied, shaking his head and walking away from Brianna.
    “It’s just going to be a quick, innocent smack on the lips, Kyle. What’s wrong, little bro? If you were sure you were going to beat me, that little wager wouldn’t scare you. You’re afraid of a girl. That’s just sad little bro.”
    Ryan and his roommates began to feel sorry for Kyle. Brianna was being brutal to him, and they did not understand why. While talking to Brianna earlier, they found out she was his sister, but she did not tell them anything else. Kyle had never spoken to them about her. They didn’t even know he had a sister until Brianna showed up. They looked at one other and decided it was time to leave Brianna and Kyle alone so they could work out their issues. They all began to mumble excuses while walking away from the pool table.
    “You don’t have to leave, guys. It’s okay. Stay,” Kyle commanded his friends without taking his eyes off Brianna. He chuckled bitterly while running a hand through his hair and counting to ten in his head. He was sick and tired of Brianna humiliating and emasculating him in front of his friends. He was determined to win that pool game. And after Brianna handed him the eighty thousand dollar check,  he was going to rip it off and throw the pieces in Brianna’s face. “Fine, Brianna. I accept your wager. Let’s play.”
    Kyle and Brianna began playing. Deafening silence fell over the room. The only sound that could be heard was the one made by the pool balls as they smashed against one other and dropped in the pockets. Abby was still outside on the fire escape and had no idea about the bet her boyfriend had agreed to.
    “I won!” Brianna squealed after she got the final ball to fall inside one of the pockets. “Told you you couldn’t beat me, Kyle. Time to collect my prize,” she
