"Did you think healing me would make me love you more?" He scoffed grabbing my hair as he pulled me towards the door.

I left, determined to stay hidden from him forever... but I found out I was pregnant few weeks later.

A small smile settled on my lips as I walked out of the office and came face to face with Brooke, leaning on the wall that led to the corridor where Noah's office was.

I was familiar with this scene. When I was married to Xavier, in my weak days, Belinda will come to my room several time or whatever opportunity she had to taunt me. Some days, I will try to fight back but will end up getting the brunt of Xavier's wrath.

She was beautiful, young and satisfied him in more ways than I did so it was only normal for everyone to always take sides with her. Back then, she would self-harm, accuse me of insulting her and a lot of unprintable things and no matter how greatly disadvantaged I was back then, Xavier always took her side and would blame me.
