Alexis sifted through the stack of photos. The shots were intimate, starring Leonel and Anika. Snaps of them vacationing in different cities, playing golf, and even locking lips in the apartment foyer.
Alexis’ fingertips quivered slightly.
She gazed at the passionate embrace captured in the photo. Their expressions were so intense, it seemed they'd merge into one any second.
Her lips twitched. Eventually, she looked away, managing a smile.
“These are no fakes. They're straight from the security footage. Anika probably mailed them to you, dad.” she said.
With a stone-cold expression, Waylen dialed Leonel’s digits. “Get back here, now.” Waylen couldn't wrap his head around Leonel keeping a mistress. He really thought Leonel knew better than that.
Alexis set the photos down gently after a long look. She settled in, ordering more soup from the servant and sipping it slowly. Waylen and Rena found her eerie calm unsettling.
Once she finished, Alexis announced casually, “I have to step out for a bit” In an unsettling serenity, Alexis was the eye of their emotional storm, Rena, visibly concerned, comforted her, “Your father and I will handle

Alexis retorted with a hint of amusement, “This place remains under Leonel’s firm's umbrella. Surprised? He omitted that detail? Let me make it clear then. As marital assets, half of this place is lawfully mine.
Your approval isn't a prerequisite for my presence here, and I could very well demand that you leave my property immediately.” Fury had Anika shaking from head to toe. “Leonel won't stand for this.” she asserted, her voice quivering.
Alexis, gliding in on her heels, stood in stark contrast to Anika's disheveled state. She whispered provocatively, “Miss Cohen, your grasp on men seems lacking. If Leone's heart truly belongs to you, would I even be a threat?” Her voice took on a softer edge. “It wasn't my plan to involve you, but you brought my father into this —his heart isn't strong.
