With quivering fingers, Alexis concluded the cigarette just as Leonel reappeared, extinguishing it neatly in the ashtray.
The door closed softly.
Detecting the scent of smoke, Leonel looked up to find Alexis standing there.
âAlexis!â
âYou had a history with her, didnât you?â Alexis inquired gently, âWas it your first or your last? Can you share that with me?â

Leonel struggled to swallow.
âMy first one! At the age of 20.
â
Alexis lowered her head, smiling.
âYouâre each otherâs first, correct? Leonel Douglas, you abandoned me and stayed in Acoiclya for Serenity.
Now sheâs Mrs.
Larson, and your photo together still graces your desk! Whatâs even more ludicrous is that you assured me of a lifetime together! Damn you!â
Leonelâs fists tightened, and arguing was beyond him.

It was undeniably the truth.
During that period, he desperately sought liberation from the Fowler family, craving freedom.
Serenityâs warmth ensnared him.
Alexis turned slowly, her face a mask of emotionless composure.
Gazing at him, she uttered, âLeonel, the reason I forgave you and accepted you again was because I know you were just casually involved with those other women.
I never believed you were serious about them.
But Serenity was different, wasnât she? Itâs unlikely for you to casually engage with women like her, so it only meant you were really serious about it.
Isnât that true?
But then you found her inadequacy, incapable of fulfilling your peculiar kinks, leading to your separation!â
At this point, Alexis felt immensely repulsed.
She perpetually believed that what Leonel bestowed upon her was distinct from what he offered others.
It turned out he had bestowed those things upon others long before.
Yet she believed they were each otherâs sole possessions.
Tears eluded Alexis; he wasnât worthy of such emotional investment.
Snatching her coat from the sofa, she made a beeline for the door, despite Leonelâs attempt to halt her.
He implored, âAlexis, letâs have a conversation!â
âThereâs nothing left to discuss!â
In a composed manner, Alexis expressed, âLeonel, our perspectives are too divergent; we canât continue together! From this point forward, our paths will diverge.
â
He clung to her, refusing to release his grip.
âAll of that is in the past!â
Alexis delivered a resounding slap.
