You're cruel
I should never have existed
The woman's voice beside her managed to steal Becca's attention, who was currently busy with her work. She walked toward a queen size bed. Sweat adorned her beautiful face. Her hand took a tissue, and she wiped the sweat from Alexa's forehead. The movement of her hand woke Alexa from her nightmare. Alexa leaned her body against the bed, taking a slow breath.
'Another nightmare.' she muttered. Ignoring Becca, who was now staring at her, Alexa got out of bed and stepped onto the balcony, the cool air greeting her beautiful face. Only nature accepted Alexa for who she was.
She closed her eyes, enjoying the fresh morning air. Before she knew it, a single tear fell from her beautiful eyes. She quickly wiped it away. Then, a smile formed as she remembered something. 'I have other plans.'
She turned around and walked over to Becca, who was busy with her laptop. Becca's eyes widened after hearing all of Alexa's plans. She was very surprised and did not expect Alexa to be this bold.
"SERIOUSLY?" Alexa just nodded in response.
"When?"
"Starting today!" she said with a big smile on her lips.

Alexa stood in a skyscraper. She walked into the building, and everyone there bowed slightly and greeted her respectfully. She was tall, beautiful, and confident. Those were the words that always described her. Alexa entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 15th floor.
On the 15th floor, there was only one special room. The sound of her heels echoed through the room. Now Alexa stood directly in front of the office door bearing the name of its owner, Ocean Sterling.
Sean realized that the door to his room was open. He turned and saw Alexa sitting on a chair that had been placed there specifically for guests. Sean still remembered that his relationship with Alexa had not been good recently. Seeing Alexa like this, it seemed that she was no longer angry with him. Sean understood very well that Alexa simply could not help but bother him.
Alexa placed the luxury Insulated Tote Bag on the table. Anyone who saw the tote bag would think it was just a regular women's bag. No one would have guessed that it was a limited edition lunch bag.
Her hands deftly opened each lunch box one by one. She lined up all the lunch boxes to make them easier to eat. The last lunch box Alexa opened contained Seared Scallops with Cauliflower Purée & Truffle Oil. All the food served at this table was cooked directly by a private chef. The quality of the food was guaranteed.
Alexa was preparing lunch for Sean. Sean's attention was drawn to Alexa, who was busy with his lunch box. Alexa's movements caught his attention. She looked even more beautiful when she was focused like this.
Alexa turned her head when she felt someone sitting next to her. Then she heard an interruption.
"For me?" Alexa nodded her head in response.
"Let's eat." Sean got ready to eat.
Soon, the door opened to reveal a woman with a tote bag in her hand.
Alexa made a sarcastic remark about the woman.
"Get used to knocking first."
Ignoring Alexa's words, Liora sat down next to Sean. She opened her lunch box, which contained two burgers. Last night, Sean had asked her to make him some burgers.
"Babe." Liora handed the burger to Sean, who accepted it immediately.
"Thanks."
"Sean, this is your favorite. Seared Scallops with Cauliflower Purée & Truffle Oil." Alexa also offered Sean her food.
Sean looked to his right and left, his hands already full of food from Liora and the other from Alexa.
"That's too much, I'll be stuffed." She put on a sad face. The two women narrowed their eyes. Seeing this, Sean became very nervous. Now, he had trouble choosing which food to eat.
"Okay, I'll eat both." Alexa and Liora protested. They didn't accept Sean's decision. After all, Alexa had arrived first. Likewise, Liora was Sean's girlfriend. Sean should have chosen the food made by his girlfriend.
"Last night you asked me to make you a burger." Her voice trembled slightly as she held back tears. She wrapped her arms around Sean and rested her head on his shoulder.
Sean couldn't bring himself to do it, so he chose Liora's burger for his lunch this time.
Alexa slammed the table, unable to accept Sean's decision.
"Damn it. My 5 star meal lost to a frozen burger."
"I put a lot of effort into it. My hands got burned from the grill." Liora said, showing her hands. Sean immediately checked Liora's hands.
"You bitch. I could have just bought frozen burgers. You talk about effort, but look at all this. Healthy food with balanced nutrition." Alexa snapped, daring to talk about effort. What did she know about effort? Alexa had been trying to win Sean's love for 15 years.
Sean realized that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, so he told Alexa to go home. He didn't want a fight to break out between Alexa and Liora.
"You're crazy, your taste is so low now. You chose that unhealthy burger over my food. What do you see in this country girl, huh? Is it because of her innocent face? Or is she more satisfying to you, huh?.."
Sean interrupted Alexa.
"ENOUGH, ALEXA! You've gone too far again. Stop judging people based on their social status. Not everyone below your social class is inferior. Even Liora has a better attitude than you, who was born into the upper class. The branded items you wear mean nothing if you have a terrible attitude.
I asked Liora to make me a burger. I really appreciate Liora's effort in doing this for me. I always appreciate gifts that are made by hand, they are more valuable than you just buying something and giving it to me. You always use your money to belittle others. Look at this lowly food you're talking about—it's tastier than your expensive food."
Sean devoured his burger with great enthusiasm. In just a few bites, the burger was gone. Sean walked over to his desk. He wanted to grab a drink from his desk. When he turned around, Alexa was no longer in the room.
If Sean had called Alexa's name, it meant he was really angry.
Alexa walked down the office hallway wearing sunglasses and a haughty expression, intimidating anyone who saw her. Her face showed no sadness, as if nothing had happened to her.
Before getting into the car, Alexa turned and looked at the building again. Then, her eyes shifted to a finger that had been cut by a knife and was bandaged with plaster.
***
A car pulled up outside the Sterling mansion. He walked through the front door. Sean was very tired today, he had a lot of work to finish. His head felt heavy, his mind replaying the events of that afternoon.
Actually, he felt a little guilty for talking to Alexa like that. Sean ran his fingers roughly through his hair, he felt he needed a shower to calm his mind.
A few minutes later, Sean lay down on his king-size bed. Sean opened social media to distract himself from his thoughts about Alexa. He hoped that after opening social media, he would forget about what had happened earlier. Several stories filled his Instagram feed. His hand swiped through the stories.
Among the many stories, one from an account named Becca caught Sean's attention. He clicked on it. The story played a video of Alexa and her personal chef cooking in the Hart family's kitchen. A voice could be heard from the video.
"I swear, this kid is possessed. Out of nowhere, Princess Alexa is cooking this early in the morning."
The second story contained a photo of Becca treating Alexa's hand, which had been cut by a knife.
Sean's eyes widened.
So the food was made by Lexie?
