Chapter b50 /b

At Sienna’s words, Vivian’s tears kept streaming down. No matter how hard she wiped, she just couldn’t stop them. Her voke was choked with solis, barely able to form coherent words.

“Sienna, that’s not what I meant. 1-1–She sobbed. Vivian carried a dark secret in her heart, something she could neither forgive nor forget.

The slightest trigger would bmake /bVivian lose control and act like someone else, just like today. She hated it, but she couldn’t help herself.

Sienna gently stroked bVivian’s /bbhair/b, her eyes brimming with guilt and cold fury that she gradually suppressed. Yet, when she spoke, her voice was bus /bgentle as ever.

Sienna said softly, “Tr’s okay. I’m here with you.”

As Vivian went on, her voice grew more band /bmore choked with sobi. She clenched her fingers until her knuckles turned pale, the effort betraying juu how much pain she was holding inside.

Sienna didn’t stop her. She wanted Vivian to confront these painful memories piece by pc. Only then could she break free from this vicious cycle of emotional self–destruction.

Vivian continued, her voice trembling, T–They tortured me for so long that I can’t even remember how long. Sienna, do you believe me! I’m still a bvirgin/b. bI /bbjust /bfeel tainted.”

They vited every inch of her body.

Vivian couldn’t remember how she survived. All she remembered were the hysterical screams, breaking down over and over, but it was all useless. She was always on the verge of utter despair.
