Chapter 19 Challenging for a Duel.

Alexa listened as David made his accusations about Ryan, his voice filled with concern and a touch of desperation. "You know about him very well, Alexa," David said, his tone pleading. "You know that Ryan is a tyrant! You know he is cruel, and your life will be in danger."

Alexa let out a weary sigh. "Look, David," she began, her voice tinged with frustration. "I don't want to talk to you anymore, and you should understand that I am not here to discuss with you about my life after whatever you have done!"

David's face contorted with anguish as he struggled to make her see his perspective. "No! But you should understand that your life will be threatened, Alexa," he said, "How can you choose him over me?"

"There is nothing to tell you, David!" Alexa's voice echoed with frustration, her words laced with exasperation. "Stop it. Stop your nonsense. Don't call me again and neither try to meet me ever again! Do you get it? We are nothing anymore. Understand that and leave me alone."
