Alexis Ness~

You and Alexis Ness had been together for almost three years. To everyone, you were the perfect couple. You had shared countless memories, promises of a future together, and moments that seemed impossible to break.

You trusted him completely.

Just like you trusted your best friend.

You never imagined that the two people you trusted the most would be the ones who would end up destroying that trust.

That afternoon you returned to Ness's apartment unannounced. You planned to surprise him and spend the rest of the day with him.

But when you opened the door, you were the one who got the surprise.

Ness and your best friend were too close. The way they looked at each other, the nonexistent distance between them, and the silence that filled the room made you understand the situation before either of you could say a word.

Ness stepped away from her and stared at you. You expected to see guilt or nervousness on his face, but there was nothing of the sort. His eyes remained calm, even as he noticed the disappointment reflected in yours.

He did not try to justify himself.

He didn't look for an excuse.

He simply accepted that you had discovered it.

—"I'm not going to pretend I'm sorry."

His voice was cold, almost indifferent.

Without saying another word, you turned around and left.

—

They never saw each other again from that day on.

Weeks passed without messages, calls, or any attempt at contact. You were beginning to rebuild your life… while Ness tried to convince herself that she had made the right decision.

Until one afternoon, walking through the square to clear his mind, he saw you.

You were not alone.

There was another man by your side…
