Chapter 36

  Valerie.

  “Lena.” I heard a familiar voice behind me and I slowly turned around to see Xavier at the door.

  “Xavier.” Lena wiped her tears and ran towards him, pulling him into a tight hug.

  “Thank God you’re here.” She sobbed and broke the hug.

  “What’s happening?” Xavier asked her and then glanced at me.

  “She-“ I wanted to explain, but Lena suddenly cut in.

  “I was just trying to get to know her and all of a sudden, she began to use harsh words on me.” Lena lied and sniffed.

  Xavier eyes darted in my direction and he looked angry.

  “Xavier, I-“ I wanted to explain and tell him that she was lying, but she didn’t let me.

  “I suffered so much and I thought I was finally coming back to be happy, but instead I was met with hostility.” She continued and her eyes began to water all over again.

  “Valerie, how could you do this?” Xavier sounded angry and I scoffed, glancing at Lena. She literally called me a bitch and now she was playing the victim.
