"My mother is in a coma for four years now. The one you saw yesterday was her twin sister. After my mother got sick, my grandfather decided to let my aunt become a substitute for my mother. No one should know about it." She paused and took a deep breath.
Aciel didn't say a word and let Xylia tell the truth about her family.
"We were happy. I was happy. But everything changed when my father started having an affair with my aunt. I tried to understand him. Maybe he was lonely because my mother didn't wake up until now. My Aunt started manipulating everyone including my father. She said it was for the family's sake but in reality, it was all for herself. Last year, I found out she embezzled money from the company. We lost a lot. I'm not sure how my father and grandfather still hold on to our status, but our family is already on the brink of bankruptcy."
Aciel frowned. "So they decided to marry you off to Ivan to save your family?"
