‘It was around then when Dolly, my best friend, leaped off a building out of heartbreak. Thankfully, she survived, and after she awoke, she advised me to treasure those who cared for me… And true enough, Von had kept telling me he’d take care of all of the problems that arose… All I needed to do was take a single step forward…’
‘It’s hard for me to tell you the entire story since our relationship was pretty rocky at the start. However, believe me when I say that I cherish that man, and that I don’t love him because of his wealth. No, I love him for his maturity, warmth, and meticulousness… He makes me feel safe, and that’s the reason why I put off telling him that Yulia was his child this entire time. I didn’t want the chance of him avoiding me out of disgust…’
‘Alas, that was a foolish decision, and in the end, I hurt not only myself, but also those closest to me… Either way, I’ve said all that I wanted to. I should clarify that I’m not trying to garner your pity by saying all this. I simply wish to reveal this burden of a truth that I’ve been holding onto for so long. Honestly, it makes me wonder why I didn’t do this sooner. Things could’ve gone much smoother, but I guess I only have myself to blame.’
‘Oh, and that audio recording? Let’s just say that we’ve always had a sour relationship, and I had only said all that to irritate her. There’s a lengthier version where I explained that to her as well, though of course, she snipped that bit off. Thankfully, I was able to locate the original recording, and I’ll link it to the post to prove my point. Now then, let’s talk about the others now…’
‘Dolly has been a good companion for the past three years. Not only has she supported me financially, but she’s also taken good care of Yulia whenever I was busy. Had it not been for her, I’d be in much more trouble now, so please, everyone. If you want to continue troubling her, do it to me instead.’
‘Same goes for Mark. We grew up together, and though we ended up separating due to misunderstandings, he still chose to return to give me unconditional support after many years had passed. I’m extremely grateful to him, so please stop targeting him, everyone… Thank you.’
By the time she finally hit the ‘post’ button, tears were rolling down Xavia’s cheeks. She hadn’t really thought that her life was difficult before this, but after typing all that out, she realized just how wrong she was. It didn’t help that everyone was villainizing her even though she was truly innocent…
After reading the post, Bianca couldn’t help but give Xavia a tight hug while saying, “…I’m sorry I didn’t get to know you earlier, Xavia… Had that happened, maybe your life wouldn’t have been that pitiful at the start…”
Even Dolly was upset by all this. After all, though she had seen how hard Xavia had worked before, she was unaware of those nine dark months of pregnancy! How terrible! Hugging Xavia tightly as well, Dolly yelled, “If you had to suffer so much for him, I’d have preferred if that night never happened at all! Maybe you should just quit being Mrs. Burton! We’ll head back to S City, and we’ll open a shop! You just need to collect money while I deliver the takeout!”
