Infatuation Of Darkness

The party was far from over. It has just gone to another level. As the snacks started to circulate with concocted cocktails everyone was more excited than before.

It was a scene out of Harry potter's book straight. Given how people were dressed and the food it was obvious that everything she had once seen in the movie was happening live for just one night.

People were holding drinks in their hands, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic nature was being served the mostly it was alcoholic drinks that were being consumed.

Isabel had told Alexis that if anyone misbehaved did any kind of undesired at they for sure, will never going to get invited ever again. no matter what relation they would have with their husbands in business they won't be invited to any Halloween party.

Angelo and Alexis have stopped mingling separately and had been joined to the hip ever since. She likes his company more as she met with more people. Many knew him from before and it was easier to get introduced to them.

"But that is only in theory. We are still finding out the financial cost and other feasibilities. Only then we will be able to decide if you want to bring out this project or not?" The man Infront of her, Mr Bane, spoke to Angelo and she understood everything. She had worked for a CEO and it certainly was not easy to have a new product out every year. It was it difficult and needed a lot of thinking through.

Angelo nodded. He didn't seem very interested in any business talk but unfortunately for him, everyone that came his way was talking about it.

as the most forward to talk to someone else, Alexis could not help but lean towards him and ask, "why does everyone always talk business with you? No one has even bothered to be a little less formal and given to the mood of the party." She clicked her tongue, annoyed at people for that.

He sighed and answered. "I mostly invest in their businesses from the start. Whenever they want some kind of investment that involves an uncertain amount of money they always turned to me."

"Is it because you are the one with illegal unlimited sources of finance?" Making a face she asked him that.

"Yes." He agreed right away not finding any particular reason to deny it. "It's funny that the thing I don't care about my money and I spend it. I have never invested in a business that won't give me my returns yet I've had the most stupid idea as coming from the most brilliant minds."

"Hmm, gimme something."

"Once a man thought that it would be better if women had in-built sanitary napkins in the garments."

Shocked she glanced at him wide-eyed, "What?" She hissed. "Is he.." she thought for the words to use but did not find a word for it.

"Hah, honey, you have no idea about how many men in the world are not even aware of the horrors that woman go through every month." He pulled her close and then kissed her temple. "My baby is so strong." He cooed making her smile.

"What's next?" She was tired already.

It had always been so. Alexis was always excited to attend a party but an hour or two in and she would be tired and ready to leave.

"Dinner is going to be late. So you better snack up on those," he took a price of chicken and handed it to her. "They are better than food." Which was found to be true as she ate it.

They walked around and mingled. People flooded around him like a king. He was always sought and Alexis realised that even though he was never involved with any of them directly, they all needed him and were ready to do anything in return. Their antics told her that. The desperation in their eyes was feeling.

She looked at her wine glass with longing. It was empty. Leaning over to his ear she whispered, "I need to get another drink."

He cast her a glance, "Are you planning to get drunk?"

She shrugged.

Looking away, mildly annoyed he said, "We'll go on then. Just don't dance at a table."

She looked at him appalled, "Honey," she sassed. "I am not going to dance on a table drunk." She assured. "With this," she looked at the dressed," I am gonna strip."

Angelo looked at her with narrowed eyes. He snaked his arm on her waist and pulled her against flush against his chest. "I dare you to do that," he warned. "You do that I am going to spank you're a** raw."

watching her become speechless and blushing like a bride was the best feeling in the world. Hi smart and then tapped her bottom. "Go on, have your fill. and remember to keep yourself in check. Everyone is looking at you."

She nodded and walked away. Once she was on her way to the bar, Alexis felt something which had immediately led her to the bathroom.

Reliving herself she stood up and fixed her dress.

"But she is pretty!" Someone gushed as they came inside. "Like without effort pretty and her voice is s-"

"Shut up!" Someone hissed at her. A firm and toughened voice. It must be someone. "I was supposed to marry you off in that family. Do you know how much of an influence one member of that family carries?"

The other sighed. "well, it's common knowledge that you cannot force something on Angelo de'alessandro. He would attack and our fort would shatter."

"Common knowledge," the elder woman scoffed. "It's a matter of time till she gets discarded by them. You will move in then. She is too simple and plain. Who knows she was just chosen because she is demure and spineless."

The girl raised her objects to that. "I don't think so. She looked like a girl brought up in a well family. Sh-"

"Hush your opinions!" The woman hissed once more. "Who cares where she was brought up! She is inside the doors as Nd married to one of the major influential men in the North, do you think that it's not planned?"

"Like a sacrifice?" Came her small voice.

"Yes! Exactly! Otherwise, why would he even notice her? Must be from a middle-class family, she! Who knows what she did!"

"Yes, who knows what I did," Alexis muttered in a bored tone and opened the door, finally making her presence known. "After all, who knows what kind of family I was brought up in."

Her tone was calm and collected. This was not the first time she had even gotten accused of. It happened various times especially, given to how close she was to Mr Walker, people had assumed that something was going the calmer she looked, the more she was scaring them.

"I-Well, I am sure that we are not wrong." That made Alexis smirk a little but she kept her face blank.

"Maybe I can prove you wrong when the close of your back are snatched off and the house you live in is auctioned off." She shrugged, totally not bothered.

The woman stammered but Alexis didn't wait, she had already issued her next attack.

"Next time, make sure the washroom is empty." She smiled, "Not many are as humble as me." She blinked twice and walked out.

She didn't even spare them a glance. It felt good to be powerful and it was certainly the best feeling the world.

When she arrived back, she searched around for him. Going to the bar she took another drink and tried to locate him. It was very difficult in the dark but thankfully he was wearing a white suit and that stood out.

She found him in a corner and he to be talking to someone. She raised her head high nevertheless and walked forward ready to introduce herself and carry on the conversation.

She was not afraid. She how to make an impression on people that she was worthy of being his wife.

As she neared she frowned. He appeared to be talking quite rapidly. Almost like aggressively or like arguing.

She walked to them quickly, afraid of what was happening.

"What do you mean? You haven't, till now?! You have been married for half a year!"

Angelo snarled in return and spoke, "I know that! I will tell her when I want and I think is right! Don't you dare," he warned, "interfere in my family."

The woman scoffed loudly and Alexis watched from aside. "As if! And what about it? You can't kill me and you know why!"

Why not? She frowned. She had always thought of Angelo as a man who could do anything that he wanted.

"Really? You still think that?" He mocked. "I have a wife. A fucking wife. Our lineage would be way more powerful than that nobody!"

The woman scoffed and looked away but as she did that her eyes found Alexis and shouted.

"I believe your wife doesn't know everything. Especially if the child that you have with me!"
