Chapter 22: A Devastating Revelation

Maya left the room then Rachel came in nd whispered in Alex ear

Alex's eyes widened in shock as Rachel's words cut through the air. "Maya has always been forcing herself on you, Alex," Rachel said, her voice firm and resolute. "She's just a side chick, and she's been manipulating you all along."

Alex felt like he had been punched in the gut. He couldn't believe what Rachel was telling him. Maya, the girl he had thought he knew, was actually a manipulative and controlling person?

He looked at Rachel, his eyes searching for answers. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" he asked.

Rachel's expression was sympathetic. "I didn't want to hurt you, Alex," she said. "But I couldn't just stand by and watch Maya continue to manipulate you. You deserve to know the truth."

Alex nodded, his mind reeling with the implications. He thought back to all the times Maya had been clingy and possessive, all the times she had tried to control him. It all made sense now.

He felt a wave of anger wash over him. How could Maya do this to him? How could she betray his trust like this?

"Thank you, Rachel," Alex said, his voice firm. "I need to confront Maya about this."

Rachel nodded, her eyes filled with concern. "Be careful, Alex. Maya is not going to take this lying down."
