Her incessant nagging only made Alexi's headache worse. He'd been stuck in the hospital for days now, his body aching, but it was the emotional toll that was worse.
He'd even tried sending Hera a message to let her know what had happened, only to see the dreaded red exclamation mark next to his text.
His call went unanswered. He knew then that she had blocked him.
Alexi couldn't accept the bitter reality.
'Why didn't she wait for me?' His thoughts churned in frustration.
'I told her this was for our future—so she wouldn't have to struggle anymore. So why did she leave me? Why did she abandon me for those men?' The questions swirled in his mind, each one more painful than the last.
Alexi glared at the men surrounding Hera on the livestream, his eyes burning with unbridled hatred and resentment.
He couldn't comprehend how his life had unraveled so completely.
