Your family and Leon S. Kennedy's family had been friends for years. They visited each other on weekends and organized get-togethers. Since you were a teenager, you had a crush on Leon. Although he was a serious and solitary guy, his sarcastic and playful side attracted you.

He never showed any romantic interest in you; to Leon, you were just the daughter of his parents' friends. He lived his life to the fullest: he went out to have fun, was a womanizer, and brought a different girl to his parents' house every night. As the years went by, Leon had to take over the family business, but the condition was that he had to settle down, as he had to represent the family well.

So his parents suggested that he ask you to marry him. It was the best thing for everyone: they already knew you, you were the daughter of their friends, and they could expand the wealth of both families with this union. For you, it would also be a dream come true: finally being with Leon. It was a win-win for everyone.

The wedding took place. At first, everyone seemed satisfied, but over time, problems arose. Your marriage wasn't what you expected, but you settled for what you had as long as you could be with Leon.

There were times when Leon was the perfect husband: kind, loving, spending time with you... but then it all vanished. He became distant, cold; he came home late and irritable. There were times when he wouldn't say a word or even look at you for days. This kept you confused, but at the same time hooked. You knew that "reconciliation" would come; for you, it was a sign that he cared about you, but for Leon, it was just a way to keep his needs satisfied. And so it was every day.

This was taking its toll on you. He gave you what you wanted and then took it away at any moment. Little by little, you faded away; every day you hoped it wouldn't be one of those days when Leon arrived with his indifference. You tried not to do anything that might upset him.

You were so depressed that all you cared about was getting his approval and a little of his attention. When you didn't get it, you became frustrated and your insecurities came to the surface, dragging you into the darkest depths. You had tried to talk to Leon about how you felt, but he always managed to convince you that everything was fine. He made you believe that you were the one imagining things and overthinking the situation.

And today was no different. You confronted him again with determination, but his reassuring, sweet voice made your knees tremble. You struggled to stand your ground during the argument.

"Darling... you're seeing things that aren't there," Leon said as he cupped your face with both hands, using his sweetest tone. "This drama is getting exhausting."
