“Sierra.” Madison looked at Sierra with deep concem as she gently pulled out a tissue to wi 

o wipe away the tears on her face. 

Sierra’s beautiful face was soiled with tears, making her look like a shattered fairy. Hersorrow was so palpable that anyone who saw her would feel heartache in 

Siema took the tissue from Madison, and her voice tinged with a faint melancholy. “My mother has always been afraid of William. I’ve tried to persuade her to resist him or leave him, but she just looked at me and said that this was her fate that she couldn’t leave William or Xavier. 

“Although I’m angry at her, I understand her teelings. She came from a poor family, which made her timid and insecure. Then, she met William, who came from a wealthy family and had a bold, flamboyant personality 

“He fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her for a while before they got together. She was insecure, afraid that wanted his protection. So, she began to cater to him constantly. 

William would leave her, but she also 

William is a chauvinist who loves to control others. If he can’t control someone, he discards or destroys them. What started as an equal relationship tipped the `scales, and the balance was lost. 

“After she married him, she became entirely submissive to him, obeying him in everything. She’s spent most of her life that way. Deep down, she simply doesn’t dare to go against him.” 

That was why when William told her to drug Sierra with sleeping pills and steal her phone, she did ir–rom by guilt, but still compliant. 

Sierra understood that she was trapped, but she couldn’t help feeling resential Why couldn’t she stand up to him just once–for her? Madison gently patted her on the back and said softly, “Vera has had a hard life too. It hasn’t been easy for her.” 

Sierra lifted her eyes slightly, deared her dry throat, and looked at Madison Maddy, do you low why I finally made up my mind to break up with Benson this time? 

Madison froze for a moment. “Wasn’t it because he cheated on you? 

Sierra shook her head. “It’s because I don’t want to become like my mother. What happened on my birthday made me see Benson for who be really is. He’s just like William—prood, arrogant, and unwilling to tolerate anyone going against him. 

“At that moment, I realized that I was a lot like my mother. I’d let love cloud my judgment, and my insecurity had overtaken my rationality, Just like she feared losing William, I feared losing Benson. Without realizing it, I began to cater to him, to accommodate him in everything. 

“I almost became the very person I never wanted to be. When I thought about it, it was like falling to an ice cellar,” 

By the time she finished speaking, her body was trembling uncontrollably. 

Madison’s eyes had tumed red. She gently hugged Sierra and whispered, “Cee, you’re already so brave.” 

She looked at Sierra with solemnity as she spoke. 

Sierra smiled faintly, wiped her tears, and patted Madison’s hand. “I can’t change my mother, but I refuse to walk her path. I don’t want my life to be controlled by anyone. Only I can dictate my life.” 

Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was resolute. The dim light in her eyes brightened with determination.
