Alexis walked to the door, gesturing outside. "I told you to leave; didn't you hear? Leonel, I explicitly stated that I no Longer want you. Leave my house, leave my life!"

Leonel turned, his eyes burdened with unshed emotions.

He inquired about what he could do to pacify her.

Alexis lowered her gaze. “When you abandoned me and rejected me back then, being with all those foreign girlfriends of yours wouldn't have sickened me as much as this does now! Leave, I can't bear to see you!”

Leonel retrieved two tissues, wiping his shirt.

He glanced at Alexis. “What if I pleaded with you?"

Alexis smiled faintly. “Do I appear easily influenced?"

Leonel stared at her intently. “What if there was someone capable of influencing you?"

Alexis emitted a cold laugh, saying, “Then go ahead and try me.”

Leonel advanced slowly towards her. Alexis held her ground, but he cradled her head and kissed her passionately. Alexis momentarily stiffened, resisting instinctively, but his resolve was disconcerting.

The kiss endured for about ten seconds.

Leonel's lips were stained with blood.

Alexis slapped him. "Leave!"

She tossed all his possessions outside, leaving nothing in the room.

After closing the door, Alexis leaned against it.

Gradually sliding down, she embraced herself tightly, her face buried in her knees. It lasted for a prolonged period.

Later, Alexis returned to her normal routine.

She would visit bars after work from time to time to get a drink.

Upon returning to her parents' house, she encountered Leonel a couple of times. But she always pretended she didn't see him.

A week later, she succeeded in accumulating $20 billion.
