With how confused she looked, Mark shook his head before adding, “Look, do you really think that you’re solely responsible for all this? Xavia, I’m sure you know how he keeps unfairly distrusting you. How much longer can your marriage really last if this goes on? To give an example, imagine if I wasn’t the one who slept with you that night, but another man instead. One who was more dominant and obsessive.”
“If that had happened, then would Zivon have just let you go? What if that man was viler than he appeared? What would’ve happened to you? Regardless, what I’m trying to say is that all he ever does is think about himself. Has he ever considered your feelings? The simple answer is that he hasn’t. After all, had he done that, then you two wouldn’t have ended up this way,” concluded Mark, leaving Xavia momentarily speechless.
After all, Mark was spot on with Zivon’s trust issues… Even so…
“…He wouldn’t be acting this way if he didn’t lose his legs-”
“There you go again, trying to justify his misdoings. Do you really think that this is the proper way to go about this? So what if his legs are ruined? What gives him the right to do all this to you? While we’re on the topic, you should’ve never ruined your reputation for his sake. After all, even though he can now stand again, do you really think that his urge to get back on his feet was fuelled by love?”
“Seriously, the only thing you’ve done is push him further and further away from you! How else would Rhea be able to take advantage of this situation?! To make it all worse, he’ll only remain angry at you, and knowing you, you’ll fail to properly explain things, and he’ll never learn about all your sacrifices. With all that said, was what you did truly worth it?”
…She… couldn’t even refute that… Throughout this period, she had been scorned by people all over the world on social media, and there were times when she couldn’t even leave her apartment unit… Thinking back, even Stella was disgusted by her… All this time, she had suffered for his sake, hoping that he would get to his feet again… And by the end of it all, she truly yearned that he would hug her while saying, ‘You’ve suffered enough, Xav…’
She truly yearned for his compassion and adoration again, yet… With how things were proceeding… How was she going to salvage the situation…?
Her train of thought was cut short when she heard Mark add, “Anyway, please forgive me for selfishly kidnapping you just to see his reaction… I just… I want to see how he’ll treat you. If he goes to the extreme again, then… Really, he has no right to be your husband.”
