Hidden Truths 4
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 My parents had tragically died in a car accident without warning, leaving me feeling lost and increasingly withdrawn.Xavier was our new neighbor, living right next door to me.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

Today should be November 15th. I opened my eyes and glanced at the calendar on my phone.When I woke up, a doctor in a white coat was standing beside me. I remembered him; his name was Henry Lewis, my senior and also my attending doctor.Then there was another man... At this moment, he was standing in front of me, looking hostile."You faint so easily, Mia Frank. When did you start learning how to act?" he sneered.My head throbbed for a moment, and I finally recalled his identity."Aren't you engaged now? What are you doing here?" I replied.Xavier smiled and replied without directly answering, "After I brought you here, I heard that you've been coming to see this pretty boy frequently."I was curious before, about how you spent those two years when you disappeared. Now it's clear," he added.He walked up to Henry and looked at him menacingly. "It's a pity, though. You couldn't do it in two years."In the end, it still benefits me," he hinted blatantly, causing a sharp pain in my

Henry had booked my flight to Germany for next week. Before leaving, I bought grapes, Xavier's mother's favorite, to pay my respects at her grave. It had nothing to do with Xavier; I owed her my gratitude.Xavier's mother was buried in the most luxurious cemetery on the outskirts of the city. Her photo on the tombstone showed her smiling gently, just as I remembered her.I bent down to tidy up the tombstone when I heard a familiar voice from behind. "Miss Frank, why are you here?"It was Wendy. She spoke gently, "Are you here to tend to my mother-in-law's grave? How thoughtful of you. But there's no need for that in the future. I will have people take care of it."In front of me, she tossed aside the flowers I had brought. My gaze fell on her wrist, and I saw the familiar bracelet. I clenched my fist tightly. "How did this bracelet end up with you?"Wendy's every move oozed arrogance. "It was given to me by Xavier. He said it's a gift from his mother to his future daughter-in-

I was so annoyed, hearing the arguing voices. While still in a daze, I struggled to open my eyes, only to witness two handsome men in front of me engaged in a fight. Their faces were bruised, and the security personnel were trying to separate them, cautiously soothing them, "Calm down, let's discuss this calmly."I sat up, looked at the man in the white coat, and reached out, calling him over. However, the other man in the suit seemed more agitated. He knelt in front of my hospital bed, his face covered in tears and snot, "Mia baby, do you remember me?"Mia baby? Why would someone call me that? I furrowed my brows, pulling my hand away from his grasp. "Who are you?"Do I know you?"Henry, is this man your friend?"I was a bit bewildered, my mind in a state of confusion. Henry came over quickly, his face turning pale. "Mia Frank, what are you saying? You really don't remember him?"I blinked, pondering carefully, but I didn't recognize him at all. Suddenly, Xavier raised his v

“I'm pregnant?”When I learned about this, I almost passed out in shock.I didn't even have a boyfriend; how could I be pregnant?Henry was deeply concerned and took me for a series of examinations.Xavier didn't seem happy either, his gaze toward me was filled with mixed emotions, and it felt like he could burst into tears any moment."Why am I pregnant, do you know whose child it is?"I only trusted Henry, but he refused to tell me. He simply mentioned that my health wasn't good, and the child might not survive.Well, if it can't survive, so be it. After all, even if it's born, I wouldn't be able to take care of her.I slept carefree, eating and then sleeping again. Although I constantly forgot things, every day was filled with happiness.Until one day, a woman appeared."Mia, you did this intentionally, using a child to tie down a man. How despicable."She was quite attractive, but her attitude towards me was far from friendly.I didn't want to engage with her, but she persisted.
