Passion 13
Mark wasn't advising her-he was educating her.
In the past, literally everyone had had the right to lecture Yvette. From Xavier's family members to Mark, the secretaries, and even the household staff at the manor, everyone could "advise" her as they pleased.
Back then, Yvette had to si. Je back and pretend to be
grateful. But now she was tired of constantly allowing others to belittle her.
Her hands, which were hanging by her sides, clenched into fists.
She shot a cold glare at Mark and said, "So what if he's angry? What does that have to do with me? If you have nothing else to say, please leave."
Mark felt a chill in his heart from her icy gaze. Before he could react, Yvette slammed the door shut in his face.
This was the first time Yvette had turned him away. In the past, he was always the one who treated her indifferently.
Why had the tables turned now? Could it be that she truly no longer wished to please Xavier?
Yvette knew that Mark would certainly tell on her once he went back. She braced herself for Xavier's reproach as she sat
on the couch.

That day, the wind howled and banged against the windows. As she curled up on the couch, Yvette felt cold, despite it being early summer.
An indefinite amount of time passed, and the doorbell rang. Yvette was slow to realize that the doorbell was ringing.
She rose to open the door and knew who was standing outside without even looking. Xavier's tall and looming figure made her appear es] ally petite.
Yvette looked up and stared into his penetrating eyes. "Did Mr. Xyrax pass the message?" she asked.
Xavier's face was frosty as he threw a stack of photos at
Yvette. "I had intended for you to leave this marriage with your dignity intact."

Yvette was taken aback. She looked down to the floor and saw the scattered photos of herself and Claude.
Aside from some shots that intentionally framed them as being somewhat intimate, there was nothing inappropriate about the photos.
Before she could explain, Xavier continued, "I thought it was all a misunderstanding. I thought you were innocent, and I seriously considered starting over with you." As his words echoed in Yvette's ears, a bitter sensation arose in her throat.
When she spoke, her voice was hoarse. "Is that so? Then, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

status and actions as a married woman. She had never gotten inappropriately involved with any men. Yet, in the end, Xavier was so quick to label her as an adulterer. Yvette's eyes were moist as she suppressed her grievances. She looked at Xavier calmly. "In that case, let's get divorced. I'm sorry for not showing up that day. That won't happen again." Xavier had expected Yvette to explain herself. Instead, she had brought up divorce aga.
At that moment, the rage he had been suppressing took over him, and he advanced toward Yvette imposingly.
"Are you so eager to be with him? Do you even know him? If it hadn't been for me, do you think any man would want you?" he asked in anger.
Yvette listened to his venomous words in disbelief as she was cornered against the wall. What on earth did he mean when he said "if it hadn't been for him"?
Xavier didn't stop there. He proceeded to put his hand on her frail shoulder. To his surprise, he found that she had become thinner. It felt as if she was only skin and bones.
He was shocked and struggled to comprehend the reason behind her becoming so thin.
"Don't touch me!" Yvette shouted.
The heat from his touch snapped her back to reality. Her eyes were red with frustration, and she tried to push Xavier away. However, it was futile. A normal, healthy woman would find *bard to fend off a man, much less Yvette, whose health was
deteriorating by the day.
As the rain intensified outside, Xavier's relentless kisses fell on Yvette. She lay on the cold bed, hearing only a buzz in her ears and feeling spasms coming from her abdomen.
