“I know I shouldn't have done that. I wish I hadn’t. Now I’ve lost everything. And he has the videos. I know he will come back to blackmail me again,” Yuvonne cried.
I was shocked by everything she had been telling me. I reached for her hand and squeezed it.
"It was not your fault," I murmured, watching her lift her eyes to look at me in shock. "I’m not lying to you. They manipulate women when they are at their lowest. They blackmail them, leaving them no other option, and then make it seem like it was a choice. I don’t blame you. I almost fell into it, and you saved me."
I paused, pulling my hand back and placing it in my lap, feeling guilty for not being there for her when she had saved me from a similar situation. Honestly, I felt guilty at that moment.
She lowered her head and started crying again.
"I thought you would hate me," she mumbled, hiccuping as she tried to finish her sentence.
"Why would I hate you, Yuvonne?" I asked. "You went through what I was about to go through. Sadly, I wasn’t there for you when you were there for me."
I sighed as pain struck me at the thought of how lonely she must have felt all this time.
"So you don’t hate me?" she asked again, her eyes glistening with tears.
"No, of course not. I don’t," I replied. "But I’m really sad you went through it alone without telling anyone. If you had told me, I would have helped you," I added, sliding closer to her on the couch.
I understood that Ron wanted me to take his side, but as one woman to another, I could not shame Yuvonne when I had been through the same and almost gotten myself into trouble. Thankfully, she helped me that day.
I made a mistake going alone into the room with Elgin and Graham. Even when I said no, I was still trapped there.
She rescued me. Sadly, when she was trapped, I could not rescue her. So I was going to help her now.
At the same time, I was furious with that asshole, Graham.
"I wasn’t given a chance. He ambushed me," she whimpered, taking slow and deep breaths.
"That’s what he does. He and Elgin attack when they realize the person is alone," I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck.
"Thank you so much for not judging me. I’ve been so scared. I thought about telling you, but then I thought you would kick me out of the house."
