Calvin had once been her rock. She was on her own and seven months pregnant with Evelyn in Braseovell. One day she just started bleeding and the snow was too heavy for the ambulance to come. Calvin, frail as he was, carried her to the hospital. He saved Alexis and her daughter, just like shed once pulled him from darkness. They were family long ago.
But Leonel stopped her from seeing Calvin one last time before he passed.
What was Calvin like at the end of his life?
Did he know that she didnt even know?
Would he think she just tossed him aside once she found her own happiness?
To her, Calvin was like a brother, and Leonel knew that.
But he still did it!
Alexis didnt argue. She just couldnt be his loving wife anymore.
After years with Leonel, she knew him too well. If she left, who knew what he might do? So she gave in and stayed. When he wanted her, shed give herself, but she wasnt the same Alexis anymore.

Alone in the dim room, Leonels face darkened, his true hidden self screaming to break free
After a while, he composed himself and followed her out.
Outside the room, the light made everything bright.
He saw Alexis descending the stairs, chatting casually with Waylen, her demeanor lazy and charming.
In that, Alexis was irresistible.
Leonel hastened to keep pace with Alexis. Then, he naturally wrapped his arms around her waist in front of Waylen and greeted, Hey Dad, Alexis and I are heading back!
Waylen couldnt miss the deliberate display.
Knowing they were putting on a show, Waylen, their father, didnt know how to respond. He just gave a slight nod.
Through the hallway they went, reaching the yards parking lot, with Alexis in his embrace.
Let me go!
Alexis tried to push his hand away but Leonel whispered in her ear, Your dads right behind us! Are you certain you want to shove your husband away with him watching?
