Hidden Truths 12
When I woke up, both Xavier and Wendy were gone. When Xavier left, he made me a promise, "Mia, wait for me to come back. I'll explain everything, don't forget me. Things aren't the way she says."Remember or forget, it didn't matter to me anymore. For the next three days, Xavier didn't show up. Naturally, the child didn't survive, and I accepted this reality without tears or tantrums. Several times, Henry wanted to talk to me, but I shook my head to stop him. My mental state had finally recovered, but I didn't want any negative topics brought up in front of me.Henry started to tell me about the sanatorium I would be staying in Germany. "It has a great environment, serves delicious food, there are daily check-ups by doctors, and they organize trips every quarter. I'll take you when the time comes and we can explore all of Europe."I shrugged indifferently. "Doesn't matter; I'll forget it all once I'm there."Realizing I had misspoken, I quickly added, "But I'm happy as long as I'
Hidden Truths 1
In the fourth year of me being imprisoned by Xavier Quinn, he had a fiancée. It was said that the Santana Group's heiress, Wendy Santana, was gentle and intelligent, a perfect match for Xavier Quinn. They had been in contact for over half a year, and marriage discussions were in progress. In these years, the women around Xavier came and went, most of them passing through without him showing much interest.A friend called me and said, "It seems he's serious this time, the other woman is not only beautiful but also beneficial to his career."I had heard something about it, but I didn't expect to meet Wendy Santana for the first time at Xavier's company. That morning, I went to the hospital for a follow-up appointment, and my attending doctor was my senior from school. He told me that my condition was deteriorating rapidly, and I might forget everything in just three months. "Are you really not going to tell Xavier Quinn? If you tell him now, he might still turn back." I thought abo

"When I was fifteen years old, I already knew Xavier. I've spent much more time by his side than you have, and my qualifications are far higher."And also... you're just known as his fiancée by the outside world. He has never publicly acknowledged you."My words hit a nerve with Wendy, and she dropped her pretentious high posture, shouting uncontrollably, "He will marry me sooner or later, whereas you're just an old woman he got tired of playing with. He keeps you around out of pity. I advise you not to push your luck."Who knows what you went through during your two-year disappearance; maybe you've been with men all that time, and now you still want to compete with me..."As she spoke, her eyes glanced toward the door, and the next moment, she picked up the water from the table and poured it on her own face."So cold."The delicate features of her face were stained with water, and her hair and foundation mixed together, giving her an indescribable vulnerability.Xavier, through the me

He looked at me, his smile not quite reaching his eyes. "What kind of agreement?"Is it money or property? You've been pretending to be all high and mighty for so long, couldn't hold back any longer and had to ask for money?"I was accustomed to his sarcastic remarks, and besides, he wasn't entirely wrong; the essence of the agreement was indeed about money."No problem, I can agree to what you want. The condition is that you apologize to Wendy."Xavier had resented me for leaving him in the past, and he rarely had an opportunity to humiliate me. He wouldn't miss this chance.I tightened my fists at my sides. "Do you really think I'm bullying her?""Whether you are or not doesn't matter. I want you to apologize right now. Will you apologize or not?"He just wanted to humiliate me, all to please another woman.My eyes felt a bit dry, and suddenly, an image from high school flashed in my mind. He used to stand up for me and scold those who bullied me. He wasn't the current CEO back th

I wandered aimlessly down the street, my body racked with unbearable pain. In a daze, I seemed to see a sixteen-year-old Xavier Quinn standing before me.That year, I had just entered high school not long ago. My parents had tragically died in a car accident without warning, leaving me feeling lost and increasingly withdrawn.Xavier was our new neighbor, living right next door to me. His family was not well-off either, with his father running off with another woman, and his mother making a living as a cleaner. However, he had an optimistic and cheerful nature, always smiling whenever he saw me. But I had no mood to engage with anyone.The only thing that brought me a little happiness was going to the back of the school to pick pomegranates. Under the sunshine, the pomegranates grew large and red.I still remember that day, it was in the evening. I had finally managed to climb a tree to reach for a pomegranate, but I ended up falling from the tree. Surprisingly, I didn't feel th

I wandered for a while and finally found my current address on my phone. I leisurely returned home, only to discover someone in the kitchen.Surprisingly, Xavier had returned. It had been a long time since he last visited, ever since Wendy appeared by his side.His mood wasn't great; he held a bottle of wine and looked past me toward the coffee table behind me. On it were two pomegranates, large and red, just like the ones we used to pick in the school's backyard."Eat," he said condescendingly, his tone leaving no room for refusal.I didn't pay much attention and walked past him, but my body was forcibly pulled back.There was a fiery glare in his eyes. "Ignoring me? Do you think I'm blind and can't see?"His tone was harsh, as if he wanted to tear someone apart. The incident of his temporary blindness had always been a sore spot for him.He never brought it up unless he was extremely furious about something.I hesitated, trying hard to recall what had happened during the day, bu

He hesitated for a moment but eventually answered the call."Mr. Quinn, do you have some time? I'd like to discuss something about your marriage with Wendy," it was the Wendy’s father, the chairman of the Santana Group."I'm currently...""Come over. Having a meal is a minor matter. I'd like to go over some business details with you." Xavier didn't say anything but looked at me, placing his phone aside."Plead with me, Mia Frank. As long as you ask, I'll reject him."I won't marry Wendy, and I won't be with anyone else either."Once upon a time, it seemed like I had begged him in the same way. When he appeared before me with different women, I gathered the courage to tell him the reasons for my abrupt departure. But on that day, how did he respond?He said, "Mia, spare me the excuses."A liar's words. Do you think I'd believe them?"If you want me to listen to your explanation, then get down on your knees and beg me."He repeatedly humiliated my pride, and after we had a big falling

A few days later, photos of Xavier Quinn meeting with the chairman of the Santana Group made headlines in major news media.Afterwards, he and Wendy stood together for interviews, with Wendy intimately holding onto his arm, looking like a picture-perfect couple that made others envious."Miss Santana, have you heard about the rumors regarding Miss Mia Frank? Is there anything you'd like to say?" a reporter asked.Wendy confidently replied, "In this day and age, who hasn't had a troublesome ex? What matters is that Xavier and I have found each other, and we'll have a wonderful future together. There's no need to bring up irrelevant people from the past."I sat in front of the television, watching the entire interview with an expressionless face. One of the girls behind me, who was wearing a smug look, walked up to me and sneered, "Miss Santana is about to become Mr. Quinn's legal wife. This apartment belongs to both of them. You better move out now."I couldn't be bothered to respond t
