Melody couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions—betrayed, hurt, and used—all at once. The sense of betrayal was especially poignant, considering the trust she had placed in them as family friends.
Her mind raced with questions and doubts about her past and the people she thought she could rely on. It was difficult to understand the true extent of their deception and how they had manipulated her life.
"Edward, that's not the point. The problem is, I've been working hard to clear the huge debts and support the family for some reasons without even knowing the truth. They kept all of this from me, and I feel betrayed." Her voice was tinged with frustration and hurt as the weight of the deception was overwhelming.
Melody took a deep breath, trying to steady her emotions, but the hurt lingered. She felt like her entire foundation had been shaken, leaving her uncertain about whom she could trust.
