The ones commenting were Xavier and Vanessa’s childhood friends,some of them already were aware that Xavier was married to me yet their friend group had always been tight—four boys and one girl,closely knitted best friends,the group that I could never be a part of.
Xavier and Vanessa had been the perfect couple until Vanessa found her abusive partner for whom she left Xavier.After living three years abroad she finally returned after getting rejected by her ex,earning the sympathy of the entire group and Xavier.
Soon I became a villainess,a‘witch’who snatched Vanessa’s fortune named Xavier and made him mine.
Xavier’s friends believed that her misfortune was all caused by me and I was the intruder breaking off the golden couple thus I practically became the outcast of the group,the most hated one.
Vanessa was the princess of the group while I was the third wheel who caused her misery by always being‘dramatic’.
When I was at home,my father hated for me to do any work but I learnt cooking especially for Xavier,the process was difficult and I often got burned yet knowing that my husband could not digest oily food I worked hard.
When he went out with his friends,I remembered to cook him light dishes along with his favorite seafood that I was allergic to,even touching it developed blisters on my skin,yet this was treated by his friends in distaste.
They thought of me as a leech,thinking that I was an orphan trying to climb up the ranks by holding onto Xavier who had status.
“The witch.”was the nickname they called me behind my back.
Whenever his friends visited our home,they gave me a list of dishes to prepare for them.At first I refused because it was too tedious yet when Xavier insisted to prove myself useful,I gave in.
Today,yet again,Xavier had chosen them over me.Maybe it’s better this way;at least now,I won’t be tempted to soften.
I liked my mother-in-law’s post which I knew she specifically posted for me to see,going as far as to comment.
[They look perfect together.]
The comment section suddenly quietened down with Xavier calling me almost instantly.
“Mia,there is no need to misunderstand my friends.They just like to joke around with Vanessa and me,your comment made them uncomfortable.I know you must be sad to see the post,but understand,you disappointed Mom too much this time.
