Some people ask, "Why do you still stay in a household that is cracked and even almost destroyed? The answer is not because of love. But I hope there is only one chance to forgive. And end well, like the first time they chose together.

Alexa came to campus a little late because she overslept when she got home from the club at 4 am.

Wearing a daisy flower print dress and a black blazer. Today, Alexa didn't use makeup, only pink lipstick to cover her dull lips.

Alexa saw Oliver from afar. Alexa felt excited when Oliver was walking towards her, but when Oliver just passed her it made Alexa remember the kiss the man had last night. Do I have to be someone else's grabber? Alexa asked herself.

Alexa just looked at Oliver's back, closing her eyes, forgetting the image of Oliver in her mind.

Alexa stepped onto the rooftop; she needed some fresh air this morning. She took a cigarette and lighter from her bag, smoked slowly, and exhaled. The weather was sunny today. Today was her and Darwin's wedding anniversary, whether Darwin remembered it or not, but Alexa wished she had time like the old days when Darwin surprised her every anniversary of their wedding.

Alexa's cell phone rang, and she saw Darwin name-calling her.

"Happy wedding anniversary, 6 years, dear." Darwin's words stopped the footsteps.

"...."

"Honey, are you listening to me? I've set up a time tonight; how about we have dinner where we first met?" Darwin said excitedly. The man smiled in his room, hoping Alexa would like his surprise.

"What time? "Alexa pulled a little smile; at least Darwin remembered her.

"8 p.m., I'm sorry I can't pick you up. You can come first and wait for me, baby. I love you, Alexa," Darwin said, indicating that people thought Darwin loved her so much when it was the other way around.

"I love you, Darwin." Alexa kept her phone in her bag, looking at the clock on her wrist. Today, she had to mention the exam results in Oliver's class. Sincerely, the guy almost got the highest score but Alexa played cunningly by making Oliver have to repeat the subject.

"Good afternoon, everyone." Alexa smiled at the students in the class. Alexa's smile was sunny.

"Oh my gosh, Alexa's smile seems to make me want to sleep hugging her," said one of the students who was right behind Oliver.

"You know, Alexa, I often meet at the club with a handsome man; maybe she is cheating on me. What is it like to make love to an Alexa?" The man next to Oliver spoke again, making Oliver sick of hearing it. Alexa is indeed a whore for Oliver.

"You can see your exam results; for those who get low grades, it will repeat in my room tomorrow." Alexa saw Oliver holding back his anger. Alexa deliberately made Olive's grade

Alexa delivered the material a few minutes before leaving the class with the problems they had to solve.

Alexa went shopping for clothes for her dinner with Darwin. Alexa was very happy to see a variety of beautiful dresses in the boutique. She went to Alexa and saw a peace-colored dress that looked simple but elegant. When Alexa's hand wanted to take it, there was someone else who also pulled the dress.

"Alexa." Monica was very surprised to see Alexa, her husband's first wife, making her feel bad.

"Hi, Monica, ah, long time no see you." Alexa let go of the dress, which she thought was no longer beautiful because it was held by Monica.

"I'm fine. How are you?" Monica returned Alexa's smile while trying to normalize her heartbeat.

"Mommy..." A boy ran to her and hugged Monica's legs.

Alexa just stared sadly at the boy, who was more than 2 years old; her face couldn't even lie that there was the blood of her husband, Darwin, there.

"This is your son." Alexa pretended to be surprised to see Monica's face stiffen slightly.

"Yes, he is my son; his name is Dino, and Dino is Alexa's auntie." Monica took the little body in her arms and introduced her son to Alexa.

"Hi son," Alexa said as she stroked Dino's curly brown hair.

"Hello... Auntie." Dino kissed Alexa on the cheek.

"Since when did you get married, Monica, why did you never tell me and Darwin?" Alexa tried to get Monica to talk.

"Sorry... Alexa, my wedding was sudden and in London." Monica averted her eyes from Alexa because she didn't want Alexa to know her lie.

"Well, I'll excuse myself, Alexa. I suddenly forgot I had an event to go to." Monica said goodbye to a little boy named Dino, who also waved his hand at Alexa.

Sick. Alexa had long forgotten those words; the pain she felt over time petrified her and made her heart freeze.

Alexa picked up a knee-length purple dress with low sleeves. She stepped up to the counter and paid.

This is where Alexa waited for Darwin. Alexa looked at the clock on her wrist; it was almost 10 p.m. This was almost two hours late compared to the time the man had promised. This time, Alexa could no longer bear the pain of wondering why she was stupid to wait for a man who only played her.

Alexa grabbed her bag and stepped out of her car. She was going to see where Darwin was.

Alexa drove at high speed through the streets. This time, she sped her car toward Monica's residence; she knew Darwin must be there.

When she arrived at the yard of Monica's small apartment, Alexa saw Darwin's car parked in the yard. There was no need for Alexa to prove everything; it was proven that Darwin was at his girlfriend's house. Alexa cried; her tears fell uninvited, and immediately she rubbed her tears roughly.

Clutching the steering wheel of the car, her heart was tight, her chest felt stabbed, and everything was finished, even though she was no longer Darwin's priority; she was only Darwin's barren display wife.

Alexa drove her car to the club. She didn't care about Darwin or anything else at the moment she just wanted to calm down and be free.

After arriving at the club, Alexa ordered a bottle of whiskey and immediately took a sip without using a glass. She had to get rid of the tightness in her chest.

"Alexa, are you okay?" The bartender looked pityingly at Alexa, who looked dazed and disheveled. Alexa now bent her arms and laid her head on the bar table. She was crying her eyes out.

"Alexa stop; you're already drunk." The bartender took the bottle from Alexa's hand. The woman didn't throw a tantrum; it was just that she immediately stood up and walked out.

Oliver, who came with his friend, saw Alexa being touched by a man she didn't want. The proof is that several times the woman tried to brush off the naughty man's hand that touched her.

Oliver immediately got up and grabbed Alexa's body in his arms, saying, "Don't you dare touch my girlfriend." Oliver stared intently at the older man in front of him. Oliver took Alexa out of the club. The woman even hugged her tightly. Oliver heard Alexa crying in his arms.

"Please don't add any more wounds." Alexa was still talking incoherently as Oliver carried her body into his car.

Oliver saw Alexa's tears still falling, even though the woman was asleep now. Her makeup was a mess, and Alexa, whom Oliver was used to seeing, was very different from tonight. There was only the fragile and whiny Alexa in Oliver's eyes.

"What exactly is your problem?" Oliver approached Alexa's body, pulled out the seat belt, and put it on the woman's body.
