Chapter 17

"Stef, seriously, why are you doing this? Juliette made a mistake; it's fine to teach her a lesson. But do you really love Alyssa that much?" one of his friends asked. "Yeah, Alyssa is just a woman," said his other friend. "With your current status, you can have any woman you want." Another friend chimed in, "If she's gone, she's gone. Why are you still chasing after her? You should show her that you can have plenty of women and live even better without her! She'll come back obediently then." "Yeah. If not, just find a few chicks who look like Alyssa," the first friend suggested. "Just let them learn a bit, and they'll be the same as Alyssa!" Stefan's friends tried to comfort him. Over the years, they had witnessed Stefan's deep feelings for Alyssa. Still, they thought it was a bit pointless. While they were surrounded by women, Stefan was different. Was Alyssa really that good? However, when this question was raised, it only proved that they were tempted by the life Stefan had.
