s to live there!”
“Those stocks were mine! And that mansion near the sea was my dream home, I even started buying furniture for it for us Tears rolled down Julia’s eyes as she looked at Xavier with her face being miserable, trying to appear as pitiful as possible.
Yet at this moment Xavier did not care at all.
“I gave it to someone I thought deserved all of it!” Xavier snapped. “And last night, I found the mother of my unborn child trying to chug a glass of strong alcohol in a club filled with people who
The room fell into complete silence as the board members looked at Julia with their eyes full of blame!
Julia wanted to argue more yet the angry eyes of the employees were all directed towards her making her feel shocked in her heart! “Xavier, I just made one mistake… I didn’t mean for things to go so wrong for such a small thing how can you punish me like this ”
“Madam, forgive me for speaking out of turn but because of you our company is in dire straits, not only Henry Thomson but investors are avoiding us because they are afraid to make Killian Gray angry.
Do you remember how you called Mr.Gray a hired man? Mr.Stone has spent millions of dollars to quash that video recording your words. Since the day you have mamed we have begged almost all the media houses to delete that footage after paying a hefty amount because even if you are a part of the Film industry it makes us wonder if you even realize how the industry works.
If that video of you insulting Madam Aria was released not only Killian Gray’s fans would have ripped you apart but also your career in the Industry would be over.”
Xavier finally looked at Julia, unable to refute the board member at all because he knew whatever was said was true.
His eyes were filled with raw disappointment and displeasure making Julia’s arrogance shatter !
She did everything to marry Xavier so how was it possible that she would let go of him so easily.
“Madam Julia, do you know Killian Gray is the movie Emperor yes but he is also the only grandson of Master Kevin Gray, the wealthiest and biggest tycoon in the country, Miss Aria Valarie’s grandfather is Master Kevin’s closest friend and their marriage was decided since birth.
Many of our shareholders are getting anonymous calls telling them to leave Avalon if they want to avoid being doomed and frankly speaking we ourselves are contemplating to leave after all you have only brought disaster.
If Mr.Stone does not takes these ten percent from you, we might as well leave.”
No one interrupted the board member, not even Xavier as his eyes went bloodshot.
At that moment he was certain that he had messed up his life.
“Julia, my decision is final.
Julia went still. Then slowly, she nodded with fake tears in her eyes…
“I… I understand,” she mumbled. “Do whatever you think is right”
“Good,” Xavier said quietly. “Because I will.“!!
And just like that, he walked out of the room.
Julia stood there, obedient now. Small. Scared.
And in that moment, Xavier didn’t feel like he had won anything.
He just felt tired.
Tired of the chaos.
Tired of the company.!!
Tired of pretending this was the life he had chosen so proudly.
Because deep down, he knew that If I were still here, none of this would have been necessary
