Third person POV
Alexander stood frozen where Alicia had left him.
The warmth lingering in his empty arms slowly faded, leaving behind an unfamiliar emptiness.
His eyes remained fixed on Alicia's determined retreating figure until she disappeared completely at the top of the stairs.
The house suddenly felt unbearably quiet.
For the first time
He realized she truly wanted to leave.
And no matter what he said, she no longer seemed willing to stay.
He had finally just realized how deeply she had rooted herself into his life.
And now she wants to leave.
A strange heaviness settled in his chest.
He couldn't understand it.
He had already clarified the rumors publicly.
He had offered to distance Lilian.
He had even begged her to stay.
So why was Alicia still insisting on divorce?
Was it really because of Aiden?
The thought made his expression darken unconsciously.
But deep down, he knew—
That answer didn't feel entirely right.
