Calvinâs eyes welled with fury.
Alexis reclaimed the quilt, propping herself against the headboard.
Calvin glowered at her.
Alexis responded with a derisive chuckle, âWho I share my bed with is no concern of yours.
Kiddo, donât involve yourself in grown-up matters!â
âIt was Leonel, wasnât it?â
Calvin retorted, his tone icy, âYou hate him! But to deter me, you chose to sleep with him! Alexis, youâre utterly twisted!â
Alexis showed no inclination to coddle him either.
Her connection with Calvin was destined for failure.
While she permitted him to remain by her side, she refused to acknowledge their relationship publicly, particularly to her parents.

The prospect of being accountable to anyone was something she actively shunned.
Accountability, huh? It proved an excessively weighty burden.
In the present day, one didnât always get back what they gave.
Alexis stated bluntly, âHurry up and find a woman to marry! Quit indulging in fantasies about what you can never attain.
Iâm not attempting to piss you off or anything.
I am a woman with needs who merely sought someone to share the night with, and Leonel happened to be a suitable choice.
â
Calvin was so consumed by anger that he hurled her quilt onto the floor once more.
Alexis bristled, âCalvin, donât go too far!â
Yet suddenly, Calvin enveloped her in a tight embrace.
He buried his face against her neck.
In no time, he dampened that spot with his tears.
He was crying.
Alexisâ heart softened.
She gently patted his back.
âStop crying! Itâs not such a big deal, Calvin.
In a few years, youâll come to realize that I was merely a fleeting presence in your life.
Nobody can be indelible in another personâs life.
â
Calvin choked on his words.
âDonât be with him.
Donât Let him touch you.
Donât fall in love with him! I canât bear it.
I truly canât bear it!â
From the age of twenty onward, his entire existence revolved solely around Alexis.
Alexis was well aware of that.
Little did anyone anticipate that by the age of twenty, Alexis had already irrevocably lost Leonel.
