BIOGRAPHY: tw cheating

When Xyla Villanueva, also known as Xy, was born on a hot August Chicago afternoon in 1989, her family was not prepared for the whirlwind she would turn out to be.

Xyla has an amazing relationship with her mother, Isadora, often viewing her more as another, albeit more authoritative, sister. Though Isadora worked a full-time job as a college professor, she always found time to have dinner with the girls and stay updated with whatever was going on in their lives.

In contrast, Xy’s relationship with her father was strained and rocky at best. Maxwell Villanueva was outspoken and stern and worked as a C-level executive at a successful IT Company based in Chicago, with offices across the country. His personality fits the position perfectly; however, it caused a rift within the Villanueva family. Maxwell was always jetting off to offices around the country and spending weeks away from his family for business. But despite the distance and time apart, the Villanueva gamily patriarch always had the best interests of his family in mind. His prestigious and high-paying job allowed Xy, her mother and two sisters, Quinn and Rowan, to have everything they could have possibly wanted. But from the eyes of a young and impressionable Xyla Villanueva, it seemed that he forgot about them. She often questioned what he was doing on trips and why he would spend so much time away from their family.

By the time she was 18, Maxwell had stopped going on business trips and focused his work in Chicago. He’d been well-aware of their strained relationship throughout her teenage years and used everything from luxurious gifts and surprise vacations to ease the tension. But Xyla had grown bitter and distant from Maxwell and unwilling to forget the years “he chose his job over his family.”

But growing up with her father in and out of the home, she watched as her mother and older sister took control. Their determination, drive and ability to get things done without the help of others were inspiring. And over time, she too developed the no-nonsense, strong-willed attitude they had, instilling the same in her little sister in the coming years.

Much like her father, Xyla had an affinity for business, focusing on the media industry. She found herself actively watching advertisements, analyzing designs of bus ads and critiquing the production value of commercials for fun. However, her fascination with the industry stemmed from the strategic manipulation that encompassed the entire industry. This genuine interest propelled her into moving from her hometown Chicago, Illinois, to New York, to pursue a Marketing Concentrated Business degree at NYU.

She lived in the city for nearly a decade, where she was in on-and-off relationships that were rocky at best. Everyone saw the flaws in their relationship and her choice in men except for Xyla. She was focused and driven, while the partners she chose were far from. And it wasn’t until she caught her then-boyfriend sleeping with another woman in her bed that Xyla opened her eyes, packed her life and moved across the country.

She’s lived in Eureka, California, for fours years and works as a Digital Marketing Manager and Event Coordinator.

PERSONALITY

Xyla’s mood dramatically depends on the day, the number of emails waiting in her inbox and whether or not she’d had coffee in the morning. To many, Xyla can appear intense, never really bending to fit others’ needs, and not caring much about what others think of her. But if you’re lucky enough to break through her tough shell, she may be one of your best friends.

TLDR:

She’s originally born and raised in Chicago, mood to NYC for college and lived there for nearly a decade. She’s been living in Eureka for 4 years now.

Works as a Digital Marketing Manager and Event Coordinator and loves her jobs. Catch her at fancy client meetings in up-scale restaurants, hosting product launches and hanging with the best of the best

Xyla will speak her mind no matter what. She can seem like kind of a hard-ass, not caring much about anyone else feelings, but she’s a fierce friend once you get to know her.

Huge hopeless romantic though you will never catch her admitting it
