"Would you guys give us some space? I have something to discuss with her." Yvonne said.
"Sure, Ms. Young."
After the maid left, Yvonne and Madelyn were the only ones left in the spacious villa.
"I'm getting married to him next month, on the 20th of September.
That would be Yvonne's birthday.
"Congratulations!"
Yvonne took out an invitation card and placed it in front of Madelyn. "We'll be family from now on. I hope that you can forgive me for what happened in the past and I would love to see you there that day."
Madelyn looked at the invitation card and was slightly taken aback. Then, she said nonchalantly, "I've already forgotten what happened after so many years. Congratulations, I'm glad that you get to marry the person you love."
"Besides all this, what I'm about to say may sound a little selfish, but I have to say it anyway...
"I know you and him are not biologically related, but... I'm not a fool. When I saw you again in France, I knew that Zach had done something to you without even having to guess!"
As Madelyn thought about what happened, she clenched her fists tight, gripping on her dress.
Not only that she felt ashamed, but she also hated herself for turning into someone that she vowed would not become.
"Madelyn, I hope that you can leave Ventropolis after Zach and I get married. I've been loving him with all my heart for the past seven years. I can't live without him. If he doesn't show up at our wedding, I'll go insane.
"I know you left Zach back then because of Donna and you're not the kind of person who would destroy other people's relationships. I know that you have no choice. However... your existence is making me feel scared and insecure. I even spend every day doubting and overthinking things.
"I really want to mend our relationship and treat you as family."
However, Madelyn felt none of that. Instead, she felt pity not only for Yvonne but for herself too.
She lowered her gaze to the carpet under the coffee table and spoke softly, "I've never wanted to interfere with your marriage. My family is still in Ventropolis, so I'm sorry. I can't agree to leave."
Yvonne grasped her hair and was on the brink of collapsing, "He'll never pay any attention to me as long as you're around. Madelyn Jent, I'm begging you. Please leave Ventropolis."
Madelyn replied, "Have you considered that even without me, there'll always be other women?"
Yvonne suddenly stood up and yelled, "It's not going to happen! All he wants is you!
I'd rather him mess around with other women or cheat on me behind my back than see him always thinking of you."
Yvonne clutched her chest in agony and muttered, "Did you know that in these four years... he's never even touched me?"
