last update Huling Na-update: 2025-07-12 22:35:17

***XAVIER'S POV***

It had been exactly four months since Crystal was locked up in jail and four months since my mother died.

I stared at the frame beside my bed. It was a picture of my mother and me when I was 12. She looked so dazzling, so kind and loving. She was the best mother in the world.

My mother's kindness had won many people over to her side over the years. Many had a lot to say about her because of her kindness and each time my father warned her about her excess kindness, she would reply with her beautiful smile, telling him it made her happy to see others happy because of her.

I regretted everything. I regretted not killing Crystal the first day I set my eyes on her. I regretted letting her stay in the mansion even though I knew how cruel she was.

She was a monster, a terrible monster that had no humanity in her.

She killed her. She killed the person who treated her so well. It made me wonder how someone like her was allowed to live to this moment. It made me wonder w

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 17: I HATE THIS FEELING

    ***CRYSTAL'S POV***Xavier's eyes made me flinch. Fear gripped my heart as I stared at him, wondering why he had entered the bathroom without my consent. Xavier stared at me, his eyes boring into my body as if he wanted to create a hole in me. He suddenly moved closer, grabbed my towel, and yanked it away. I gasped, shocked, and staggered backward. "What... What..." I couldn't let out a word, and could only glare at him with my hands covering my mouth as if that was the only way I could maintain my calm. Xavier's eyes darkened. He seemed to be stimulated greatly as he took in my shape. His eyes lingered on my boobs, and it took a long time before he trailed downward, stopping at my vulva again. I frowned, stepping backward in a frenzy. I had no idea what went wrong with me, but I found it hard to let out a scream. Maybe I was too ashamed, too scared, or bothered?I watched as Xavier took a few steps toward me, trying to reach me, and I continued moving backward. I shook my head an

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 16: HER MEMORIES

    ***CRYSTAL'S POV***I stared at the mansion, memories flooding my mind. The lost smiles, the lost comfort, as well as the lost presence, all came weighing down on me again...I sighed deeply, trying to control my mood so I wouldn't affect Xavier, who must be going through far worse than I did. Seeing him leave the car, I opened the door and did the same. I stood by the car, staring at Xavier while I awaited his order. I knew he must have bailed me out for a reason, and it wouldn't do good to annoy him. Xavier locked the car and arranged his shirt properly. He brought out his phone from his pocket and buried his head into it, not paying me any mind. I stared at him, I didn't dare make any noise or disturb his concentration. Whatever he was doing... might be very important. We stayed outside for about half an hour before Xavier finally kept his phone, raised his head, and walked over. "Let's go in." He coldly said to me without sparing me a glance. I bit my lower lip. No matter ho

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 15: HER RETURN

    ****CRYSTAL'S POV***I stared at Doe, who suddenly looked anxious beside me, and a frown formed on my face, but I was even more shocked by what the prison guard said. "You mean Xavier is here to take me away?" I asked, unable to believe what I had just heard. The prison guard nodded. "Yes, He's waiting for you in the office. Come with me." He was surprisingly calm with me today...I swallowed, my mind was in a big mess as I wondered why Xavier had decided to take me out of the prison when he had vowed to make me rot in the prison just a few months ago. I wasn't stupid. I knew Xavier hated me to the bones, and he wanted nothing other than to kill me. The things I had gone through in prison for the past six months were proof of that, and if not for Doe, I might have lost my life a long time ago. It wasn't anything strange to die in a prison...I sighed deeply and turned around to look at Doe, who had her head lowered and made it hard for me to see through her thoughts.It's not like

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 14: LETTING HER OUT

    ***XAVIER'S POV***The past two months have been essentially difficult for me. The restlessness had driven me to the verge of madness, and if I hadn't sought the help of a psychiatrist, I might have really lost my mind. Every night, I would dream of my mother urging me to release Crystal from jail. There were days she would be crying and scolding me for making her suffer so much. I found it weird at first, thinking it was just in my head, but things got worse... I saw her when I was resting one day, and from then on, her appearance increased significantly. She would show up when I briefly blank out, she would show up when I sleep at night, she would show up when I take a nap in the afternoon and there were times I felt like she was speaking in my head. It was as if she wanted to torment me until I would no longer be able to bear it. I sighed deeply, staring at the prison in front of me with a complicated expression. After bearing with it for two months, I realized it would only b

  • FESTERING HEART   CHAPTER 13: SIX MONTHS LATER

    ***CRYSTAL'S POV***I crouched on the ground, holding my almost broken waist as I stared at the stinky toilet before me. The smell was suffocating, the flies were disgusting, and the fishy atmosphere made me feel sick. I'd been washing it for the past 6 months, but I still wasn't used to the smell, making me feel sick every time. From the everyday beating to the days without food to the humiliation during working hours. Xavier had made sure the past six months were the worst months of my life. I stared at the yellow toilet and reluctantly picked up the brush to start working again. It wasn't as if I wouldn't be forced to rewash it in the next few hours, but I knew I couldn't leave the toilet without washing it clean. The smell made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The disgusting flies wouldn't stop singing in my ears. With the small water fetched from outside, I rinsed the soap and dropped the brush on the ground. Standing up, I opened the toilet door and stepped out. Truthfully,
