Her name was Sophia Ounce. She lived next door and was an ordinary housewife.
Sophia was not a first-rate beauty, but she was attractive because of her mature aura.
Alexander met her immediately after moving in. Sofia came to get to know him so that in the future it would be easier for them to help each other.
In those days he had just come home from a confession that was rejected with the cruel words, "I want a boyfriend, not a toothpick."
He had just bought a home with the money he had saved up and returned in a depressed mood.
However, as Alexander pushed open the wicket and was about to enter the house, a woman called out to him.
"Ara~ Are you our new neighbor?"
She had unforgettable light purple hair and green eyes. She was 176cm tall and had E-cup breasts.
Beautiful and mature smile, unforgettable soft tone, and the aura of a mature woman.
Alexander became friends with her very quickly, as they had common interests.
Three months later he confessed his love, but he was politely rejected. However, their relationship did not change and they were still friends
But one day changed everything.
Alexander was returning home as usual, and then he saw Sofia kicking out three men with a fierce expression on her face.
Ahead of them all was a man with gray hair, brown eyes like dirt, and an ugly face.
He blushed with anger and began shouting back. Alexander realized a lot during their conversation.
"Bastard..."
"Your whims have gone too far..."
"Do you think this is some kind of NTR manga?!"
It didn't take a genius to figure out what it was about. Alexander stared silently at the man with brown eyes.
Then he shifted his gaze to the two men who were looking at Sophia with excitement and lust.
Alexander sighed and felt anger. One of the reasons he had been rejected was the man with gray hair, Sophia's husband.
He was disappointed that day, but he didn't want to push her because it wasn't nice of him.
Sophia had a little five-year-old daughter. An exact copy of her mother, she was sweet and very obedient.
Alexander played with her in his spare time and often read books to her. She was like a little sister to him.
Even though Elizabeth, Sophia's daughter, was one of the reasons he was rejected...
Alexander never thought of blaming her. On the contrary, he only cared more for her.
In time, their bond became as strong as a real brother and sister.
So for the sake of Sophia's happiness and Elizabeth's good childhood, Alexander closed his feelings under a heavy lock.
But now he felt anger. Alexander was sure he had never been so angry before.
To him, Sophia was the only woman who had not neglected his feelings and supported him in every way.
And even on the day of her confession she cried tears of happiness but was forced to reject him because of her husband.
Alexander even believed that Sophia's husband was a good man, so he did not try to do anything.
But now...
"Good afternoon, Sophia." Alexander smiled and walked over, oblivious to the men's glances.
The gaze of the man with the gray hair was especially piercing.
On seeing Alexander, Sophia's gaze softened and her tone became gentle.
"Not so good, but hello, Alex." She smiled softly, which greatly shocked the gray-haired man.
"Sophia... You..."
"Me?" Sophia's gaze turned cold. "What "you"?"
The gray-haired man frowned and looked fiercely at Alexander.
"Get out of here! Can't you read the atmosphere?"
Alexander narrowed his eyes and looked at Sophia, who also frowned.
"Sophia, it looks like Elizabeth is hungry." Alexander turned and looked at her with a smile, pointing with his chin at the door.
Sophia also looked around and saw a half-asleep Elizabeth, who didn't understand what was going on.
"..." Sophia sighed heavily and entered the house.
She trusted Alexander, so she didn't say anything.
Alexander turned and smiled at the men.
"Shall we step back, gentlemen?"
...
Alexander stared at the battered men, who had several broken bones.
His strength had recently increased dramatically, so he could easily beat up even an experienced boxer.
He beat Sofia's husband until he was blue in the face and also broke two of his legs and one arm. Therefore, as of today, he will be invalid.
During the beating, the two men said that Anel, Sophia's husband, had invited them to a group... You know what.
They were surprised when they found out that this woman was his wife, but they said nothing about it.
Alexander, despite their excuses, felt nothing. He only beat them harder, breaking both their arms.
Even though Alexander happily beat them, he felt bitter.
It was as if all his efforts had been for nothing.
Their relationship had been strained ever since. Not that Sofia held a grudge against him.
She divorced her husband, then got a job and sold the house, and bought a cheap studio apartment.
Alexander never saw her again and couldn't find her. But...
Looking at the cheap neighborhood and the musty high-rise buildings, Alexander smiled bitterly.
"Sophia, you deserve better."
He pushed open the door and went up to the third floor. There were five apartments on the floor, and he pressed the bell of the fifth apartment.
Zing.
"Coming!" A young voice sounded behind the door and the door opened.
An eleven-year-old girl showed up, wearing shabby clothes. She had light purple hair and green eyes, and a mole under her left eye.
"Who is that?" She looked at Alexander with interest and squinted slightly.
Alexander smiled and leaned forward, looking into her eyes.
"Hello. Is your mother, Mistress Sophia Ounce, home?"
"А? Yes... But who are you?" The girl looked suspiciously
"My name is Alexander Vita... Nice to meet you, again."
