Deaf To His Lies

Synopsis

In a desperate attempt to save Xzavier Cortez, the crown prince of Haprith City, I sacrificed my hearing in my right ear. From that moment on, I was left to live with the constant hum of silence, relying on a hearing aid to navigate the world around me. He felt guilty, of course, and promised to make it up to me by giving me a rightful place by his side. But when his first love returned to the country, he completely forgot his vow. Worse, in his desperate attempt to win her favor, he sent me to a psychiatric hospital with his own hands. It was that night when Alexzander Craig, my childhood friend, broke through the iron bars and pulled me into his trembling arms. "Marry me, and no one will ever hurt you again," Alexzander said. Five years later, Alexzander kept his promise. He made me the envy of everyone as Mrs. Craig—spoiled, adored, and cherished. But then, on Christmas Eve one year, it was him again. This time, he took my hearing aid from my ear with his own hands, whispering softly into the phone: "Don't be afraid. That deaf girl... I'm long tired of her." I froze. What Alexzander didn't know was that I could hear him now.
