A Marriage for Revenge

A luxurious reunion party is currently being held on the beach. The party is intended to gather all the 2018 graduates from a prestigious campus.

Alexa is among the graduates. She attends the party wearing a luxurious and quite sexy outfit. In fact, many people are staring at her with mesmerized looks.

However, tonight Alexa doesn't seem interested in enjoying the party. She sits alone, accompanied only by a bottle of wine. When someone invites her to dance or chat, she always declines and says she wants to be alone.

"Alexa, why are you sitting here alone?"

A woman in a bright red dress approaches Alexa, then sits next to her. And Alexa doesn't shoo her away, like the others before, because the woman is her close friend.

Upon hearing the question, Alexa shakes her head.

"It's okay, I just want to sit here alone, Belle."

The woman's name is Belle. She is one of Alexa's college friends who has remained close until now.

"Hey, you're not the Alexa I know. You usually love parties and dancing. Your sexy outfit is perfect for tonight's party, and it's a shame if you just sit and do nothing here, Alexa," Belle said.

Belle also noticed that Alexa's behavior was very different tonight. As long as she had known Alexa, she had always been very active at parties. However, tonight her friend was becoming more passive and thoughtful.

Alexa refilled her glass with wine, emptying the bottle in the process.

"I don't know, Belle. I'm just not interested in doing anything tonight. This wine is enough to keep me entertained," she said.

Belle poured herself another glass of wine.

"If you're feeling like this, then there must be a problem with Cristof. Is he cheating on you again?" she asked, guessing.

As soon as she heard Cristof's name, Alexa's face contorted with anger.

"Yes, he is. He's cheating with someone new again. I'm done with him, and I won't give him another chance," Alexa replied, firm in her decision.

Alexa was a beautiful woman with a sharp mind. As the only child of a wealthy family, she had become one of the leaders in her father's company.

However, when it came to love, her luck was not on her side. Her boyfriend, Cristof, had repeatedly cheated on her despite their two-year relationship and plans to get married next year.

"I had a feeling," Belle said, trying to reassure her friend. "But it's good that you broke up with him. There are still plenty of better men out there for you, Alexa."

Alexa sighs deeply, feeling grateful for Belle's support during this tough time. Belle and Alexa share a very close friendship, and Belle knows Cristof's character and his relationship with Alexa very well.

"Oh yeah, I saw Aldebaran. He seems to have come to this party too," Belle says.

Alexa immediately turns towards Belle upon hearing the name 'Aldebaran.'

"Wait, Aldebaran came to this party?" she asks.

Belle nods her head.

"Yes, Aldebaran - your ex-boyfriend from our college days. He's even more handsome now, Alexa."

All the 2018 graduates clearly know who Aldebaran is. In their time, Aldebaran and Alexa were a couple who were highly supported by their friends. They both came from wealthy families and had equally charming looks.

Alexa's mind is being pulled back, remembering her memories when Aldebaran was still her boyfriend.

"Aldebaran came here? Is that possible?" she wonders.

"Alexa, do you still have feelings for Aldebaran? I think you're still a good match if you were to get back together," Belle says, repeating her words and bringing Alexa back from her thoughts.

Alexa doesn't respond to Belle's words. She seems reluctant to talk about her ex-boyfriend.
