The news of Julia cheating on Xavier spread across s all the social circles like wildfire yet it would have not created a larger impact if her scandalous videos and decision to harm the unborn child would have not come to light.
Thus multiple brands owing to their reputation cancelled all their contracts while a legal lawsuit was filled against Julia in the court.
All and all her entire future was doomed.
I was sipping my morning tea in peace, my eyes scanning the reports for Blue Moon’s latest designs and marketing numbers, when her phone my phone suddenly buzzed with a string of messages.
Manager Peter. Sister Aria, this is not good. Mr. Gray is not here and Xavier Stone has already started saying odd things, once he retums I am afraid that it would be a bloodbath ]
[Manager Kim: Aria as a friend I will suggest you not to leave you house for sometime. The media is like hungry wolves looking for a spicy love story and will create ruckus in the absence of your husband, Killian Gray
I frowned upon reading the worry and urgency in the message from my secretary and then from Manager Kim who worked for Xavier in Avalon.
It must be that something was brewing in the media. I quickly opened the link sent by them and a video by a news channel flashed across my phone screen.
BREAKING NEWS: Julia Lest’s scandalous past: Xavier Stone Breaks His Silence!
Like a perfect drama script Xavier was sitting for a press conference.
One of the workers played a footage of Julia being involved in drug parties after which CCTV clips from security camera from Avalon were published where she was shown getting inside Xavier’s personal cabin at night!
“Everyone just see this evidence before I say further.” The people looked wide eyed as Xavier said, not even bothering to hide the scandal anymore.
But I frowned.
It was nothing new for Julia and Xavier to stay late at nights in the office together even after everyone was gone, the news of them fooling around was nothing new so why was he showing Julia going in and out of his cubicle?…wait
My blood chilled when I realized what Xavier wanted to do.
Soon a shareholder stood up speaking to the press.
“Even though MrStone wished to let it all go and not sua Julia Lest, but she is a vicious woman who tried to ruin our company!
We have discovered this video of her trying to steal Avalon enterprise’s secrets and selling it to a rival company!”
“Oh my god!” The crowd erupted in murmurs before a reporter asked heavily.!!
“Sir, do you have any idea what company tried to use such dirty ways?” The shareholder looked at Xavier to which Xavier answered in turn.§
“We don’t know which company it is for now but Julia has committed a fraud and not only I am going to sue her but also she needs to be heavily punished for trying to sabotage our designs and hard work and selling it to others.
I didn’t want to believe it myself. But after everything… the drugs and the fake pregnancy reports… I think people deserve to know the
truth.”
The clip showed Xavier with slightly ruffled hair with dark circles beneath his eyes as he was messily dressed in a dark navy suit, looking miserable but honest and upright
Like a man who had lost everything and finally found the courage to speak.
“There is also something I want to reveal.
For the past six months I took a tea recommended by Julia because we started as great friends &
At first the tea was soothing but then it made me disoriented, at first I thought I was just overworked but I went for a blood test a few weeks ago and the truth broke me further.
I was drugged by Julia and manipulated into marrying her, she sabotaged my relationships, my love….she made me turn away from the woman I loved truly.”
He paused making me grit my teeth as a cold realization dawned on me.ll

My heart dropped as the room bursted into chaos.
“Ana Valane? Madam of Gray Enterprises? Killian Gray’s wife is Xavier Stone’s lover?“K
“Then why did she marry Mr Killian?“)
“Has the fooled Mr.Killian into became her husband when she already had a lover?”
“Please stop it. Enough with the accusations. Aria and I were lovers for ten years and even if she loved me beyond anything she still is Mr Gray’s wife now and our old love is lost no matter what my feelings are.”
The screen flashed with tweets and soon trending hashtags like #JusticeForXavier and #Hateful Julia took over the internet with #Aria Belongs to Xavier trending at the top.
I would have still tried to digest it but Xavier further fueled the rumors by posting a status on his instagram
“Some people teach us how to love by leaving. I wish I could have leamed sooner, that way you will be happier today and not living with a man you have no feelings for
