love that betrayed

Intro Here's a story based on the idea of betrayal, but with the complexity of still having love involved. This version is for an emotional, conflicted voice performance. I can adjust it to fit any specific tone if you'd like. Title: "The Love That Betrayed" I found out in the worst possible way. A friend saw him with someone else, and they didn’t know how to keep it a secret. I thought I knew him — the way he smiled at me, how he held me close, the promises he made. I thought I was his only one. But then... there she was. A stranger, yet so familiar. The way he looked at her, the way he touched her — I never thought I’d be seeing that from him. I confronted him, my heart pounding, every word feeling like it was made of glass, ready to shatter. He didn’t deny it. He told me the truth. He was with her. He betrayed me. He cheated. But then he looked at me — and I saw it. That same love. The same love that made me believe in us. "I love you," he said, almost broken. "I made the biggest mistake of my life, but I still love you. Please, don’t leave me." I still love you... How do you forgive someone who broke your trust and yet still love them back? I didn’t know if I could trust him again, but his words, his eyes… it’s like they pulled me back into him. I wanted to leave. I should’ve left. But love isn't simple, is it? This story explores the emotional confusion of love, betrayal, and the possibility of reconciliation.
