Alexis smiled faintly. “Do I appear easily influenced?”
Leonel stared at her intently. “What if there was someone capable of influencing you?”

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.

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 $2Q billion.
She dispatched her assistant to personally deliver the check to Leonel.
On that day, Leonel stared at the check, immersed in contemplation for the entire afternoon.
He came to the realization that Alexis was the only person he had ever genuinely loved.
