She retrieved two sets of clothes and daily necessities, neatly packing them into her suitcase. As she stood up, her gaze fell on a familiar-looking small box in a drawer. Unable to resist, she picked it up and gently opened it.

Inside was the diamond ring she used to wear.

Leonel had given it to her during their happier times.

She still remembered the joy she felt when adorning herself with it.

She reminisced about her profound love for Leonel and the messy way it all concluded. She departed silently. In reality, she did provide him with an opportunity, but he opted to conceal the truth.

More than once, she had conveyed her perfectionist nature to him.

The scene she witnessed that morning outside the hospital was not only etched into her memory forever but also intolerable.

Alexis' countenance brightened slightly as she delicately returned the box to its original position. Subsequently, she heard faint footsteps approaching-Leonel was behind her.

He noticed the suitcase and her attire suitable for departure.

Abruptly, his tone turned chilly.

“Where are you heading again?

Will you depart once more without a word? How many more years will you leave me this time? Alexis, you have a husband and child now.

Where are you off to?"

The moment Alexis turned around, he seized her waist, pressing her firmly against the wall.

Leonel's warm breath brushed against the nape of her neck as he questioned in a deep voice, “Where are you headed? Are you seeking out Calvin? Do you intend to abandon me and Evelyn?"

Experiencing a slight dizziness, Alexis instinctively countered, "No, I am..."

However, Leonel paid no heed to her explanation. He forcefully kissed her lips with fervor and impoliteness, simultaneously lifting the hem of her dress and unabashedly asserting himself.

No woman would appreciate being forced.

Alexis was no exception. Moreover, last night, he made her very uncomfortable. She resisted by pushing against his shoulder, but it only seemed to irritate him further. He raised his eyes, appearing sullen. "You won't let me touch you? Alexis, you're Mrs. Douglas now.

If I can't touch you, who else can?"
