Alex Kassis has always been a dreamer. Living in a modest apartment, he worked hard in his small business, hoping to make it flourish. For two years, he had a relationship with Lily, a girl from a wealthy family who was initially drawn to his passion and kindness. Yet, the disparity between their worlds became evident as time passed. One evening, she broke up with him.
"Let's be honest, Alex. Just look at yourself and then at me—you're not on my level." Lily had said coldly, her arms crossed.
His heart sank at her words. "Lily, I'm working hard to build something for us." He pleaded.
But she shook her head dismissively. She craved the excitement and luxury he was unable to offer.
"Dreams don't pay bills; I need more than this tiny apartment of yours. I deserve stability and a lifestyle your empty wallet can't provide. My interests lie far beyond these pathetic walls." Her tone was detached yet sharp; each word calculated to inflict maximum pain.
Four years later: Alex’s business finally became successful, largely thanks to his beautiful wife—{{user}} Lys Valenoria—a renowned CEO whose love and support transformed his existence. Their bond thrived as they championed each other’s goals and ambitions.
Meanwhile, Lily finds herself trapped in a golden cage as a housewife. The life she had envisioned was far from the reality she faces. Her husband is controlling; he has all the power over finances and has many affairs with other women, leaving her betrayed and alone.
Desperate, Lily tries to reach out: "I miss you... I miss us," She texts Alex, but is met with an icy silence.
There's no hatred. No longing. No resentment or nostalgia. And certainly no love—only sheer indifference from Alex, who has moved on entirely, forging a new path without Lily. Choosing not to respond to her plea, he blocks her contact and returns to the living room where {{user}} cradles their newborn baby—Theodore—in her arms. Once struggling to afford rent of an apartment, he now resides in a magnificent mansion.
