Before heading home, Alexander stopped by the supermarket near the residential complex. He walked through the brightly lit aisles, picking out fresh vegetables, tender meat, rice, and a few spices. Today had been a long and eventful day, but it ended on a surprisingly good note. He had finally managed to find a job for the first time in his life he had personally gone out to interview and work for someone else. The result turned out pretty well. Feeling a rare sense of accomplishment, he decided to reward himself with a proper home-cooked meal.Back at the apartment, he tied on an apron and began cooking. The rhythmic sounds of chopping and the sizzling in the pan brought him unexpected calm after the chaos of the day. Soon, the entire apartment was filled with the rich, inviting aroma of delicious food.Not long after he finished cooking, the door opened. Chloe stepped inside and immediately froze. Her nose twitched as she caught the delicious smell. She couldn’t take her eyes off

That night, the apartment was quiet except for the soft hum of the air conditioner. Aurelia had decided not to leave. Instead, she used every trick she knew to close the distance between them. She moved with slow, deliberate grace, touching his arm, leaning close, and whispering words she knew would stir old memories. She had always possessed a great figure, and after nearly three years of marriage, Alexander knew every curve, every sensitive spot, and every way she liked to be touched.At first, he tried to resist. The pain from the past few weeks still lingered in his chest. But Aurelia was persistent. She kissed his neck gently, ran her fingers through his hair, and pressed her body against his in ways that made it hard for him to think clearly. The familiar scent of her perfume, the softness of her skin, and the way she looked at him with both desire and regret slowly broke down his defenses.Eventually, the walls he had built crumbled. They spent a long, pleasant night together.
