Alexis would take her Law firm and the Exceed Group, while Leonel would retain hispany.


    She didnt im all the real estate purchased post-marriage, only the current home and their two children.


    Leonel lit up a cigarette, contemting their end through the wisps of smoke.


    But, this conclusion was Alexis choice, not his.


    He was not on board.


    Leonel reached for his phone and called Alexis. She picked up promptly, her tone calm. Youre back from your trip? Ironically, he detected a hint of warmth in her voice.


    Leonel cut to the chase. Im not agreeing to the divorce.


    Following a brief silence, Alexis queried, What do you propose?


    IL sign if I can have the kids. If not, forget about it.


    Leonel was aware Alexis wouldnt part with the kids yet stillid out this term, clearly not ready to let her go. Try propose something realistic, Alexis suggested quietly.


    Leonel scoffed, What does realistic even mean to you? Alexis, really, youre okay with me walking away


    with just a dog? Is that realistic to you? Am I just like that dog we have at home? Alexis felt he was anything but calm.


    Lets discuss this once youve calmed down, she suggested.


    Leonel ended the call abruptly and extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray.


    Yet, he soon lit another.


    His phone rang again. Assuming it was Alexis, he answered immediately, Listen, no divorce unless I get the kids. Mrs. Dous Just dropit.


    But the voice he anticipated didnte.


    Rather, a gentle, cautious voice replied, Mr. Dous, Im sorry. Its me.


    Leonel nced at his phone in surprise.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    It was Anika.


    Leonels voice chilled as he heard Anikas voice on the other end of the line. Miss Cohen, why the hell do you have my number? Anika attempted to y innocent. I paid for it. Mr. Dous, I didnt mean


    tointrude. I Did I cause trouble with your family? I swear I didnt mean to.


    If Mrs. Dous is upset because of me, llle with you and exin everything.


    Leonel saw right through Anikas maniptive act.
