Alexisâ face, nestled cozily in the arms of a young man.
In that moment, Leonel felt his scalp might burst from the tension.
âWho is he?â
His voice echoed in the spacious apartment, cold and outraged.
Alexis stirred awake.
Her eyes fluttered open, her long lashes quivering.
Her gaze settled on Leonel.
She shook her head, noticing the young boy who had also awoken.
The boy seemed intimidated by Leonelâs menacing presence and _ looked genuinely frightened.
Alexis, touching her forehead, whispered, âThe check is on the coffee table.
You should leave first!â
The boy grabbed his shoes and left swiftly.

He thought if he were not decently dressed, he might not have left in one piece.
Once the door shut, Alexis stretched and coldly met Leonelâs gaze.
âWhy do you still have the key to my apartment?â
Leonel didnât answer directly but asked, âYou paid him to stay the night?â
âWhatâs it to you?â
Alexisâ gaze fell.
âI heard you left home, which is good.
Weâre literally nothing to each other now! Leave the key and go!â
Leonel picked up a wine bottle from the table, swaying it before noticing another empty bottle.
She had drunk two bottles of wine and then shared a room with a man.
He wondered if she was not scared of any consequences.
Alexis smirked.
âScared of what? Being intimate with a stranger I brought home? Mr.
Douglas, you donât strike me to be the innocent type!â
Her words provoked him.
Leonel, his voice low, said, âAlexis, wonât you ask about my wellbeing?â
She looked at him, silent.
She knew of his recent troubles.
Leonel had been beaten by her father, forced to make a choice, and had left home.
Alexis felt no sympathy for him.
