Then one day, Anika had received a surprise present.

It was a fancy red coral piece from Leonel, rare and pricey. She proudly displayed it on her foyer.

Rumor had it that Leonel had splurged on her that night, popping champagne and all.

The whispers about them spread like wildfire but no newspapers or media outlets covered it. It was all hearsay. After all, nobody dared to cross Leonel.

Of course, Alexis caught wind of some of the gossip.
