Infatuation Of Darkness

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

Her eyebrows immediately shot up and she blinked twice. She was shocked at the revelation but shook her head and huffed.

"Yes, I'm sure that's true."

"Oh I mean it," the woman looked pointedly at Angelo, "Tell her. Come on."

Alexis was ready to rebuke her. How in the world could she say that in front of a man's wife?

But that was when Alexis realised something. With a sudden expression, she looks towards Angelo who had not moved an inch or even turned to look at her. 

His fallen courage to not even turn and look at her said something but she refused to believe it that way. She was not going to believe some kind of action rather she would have him say it from his mouth. 

"Angelo?" she calls in a gentle voice but loud enough that over the music could be heard. She watched carefully for any body movement that he made. His silence was deafening to her and all she wanted to do was break it. 

"Angelo? Is this true?" Repeated once more but received only silence and return which aggrieved her further. 

Why could he not just confirm or deny it? did he have to act so high and mighty that he could not even turn and answer? 

Stepping forward she placed her hand on his shoulder and tried to pull him and look towards her. Which he did, very reluctantly might she add. 

Looking into his eyes she asked a firm voice. "what is she talking about? Is it true?" 

He continued to look into her eyes as she did into his but he did not confirm or deny any accusation. When she tilted her head for a second to probe him further into answering it, he continued to look silent and then looked away from her eyes. 

As a sudden wave of shock barreled to her she stepped back a bit. Not expecting the answer he had given her. 

He was guilty. 

And he did not even dare to admit His fault. 

Anger and betrayal surged through her veins and all she could think of was how he had hidden everything from her when she was laid out open and bare in front of him. The level of hypocrisy that this man had shown was in front of Alexis and all she wanted to do was strangled his neck, murder or not whatever it was called she did not care. 

"You!" She growled as she rose her finger pointing at it at him. "How-" she stopped. She quickly glanced at the women and then back at Angelo. The woman was horrified at whatever she had done not expecting to have made that much of an impact or to begin with to make that mistake of telling Alexis. 

When she looked at Angelo all she saw was a blank expression that she could not believe that existed at the moment. He was expecting it, he was expecting her to throw words and curses his way maybe even slap him once or twice. 

So Alexis decided not to give him that satisfaction. 

Concealing her face of any emotions that she felt no matter how grave they were, She smiled and spoke in a gentle voice, "Excuse me for a moment."

Then she turned to the woman who loved afraid, "enjoy the party."

Smiling she left and once again and walked towards the washroom but this time it was to relieve herself of the pain and anger that she felt. As she walked in the washroom the first thing she did was to check that no one was in the stalls and then she locked the door from inside. 

Staring into the mirrors she not help but let her thoughts run through her mind. 

That bastard had completely cheated her! Alexis had no problem with loving a man who had children from before but the fact that Angelo had married her with her being unaware of the situation that he was in, made her furious! He was a father for god's sake and he had conveniently left out that detail as if it did not matter. 

That slight detail which he thought would not cause anything, she was sure that was going to cause it to a rift in a between them. 

A child? A freaking child? Was he a child out of wedlock or was it a child from a previous marriage that she once again was unaware of? 

How was it that no matter what happened she was always the stupid one? That got fooled no matter what happened, no matter what the situation was, it was always her being hurt. 

She scoffed. The man had wrapped himself up in so many layers that she did not even bother to remove any of them and check what was it underneath them. 

It was rotting, lying bastard inside. And now she had no desire to even glance in the direction of the man. 

Lying was not the solution for the situation and hiding the fact that he was a father was something that he will have to pay for. 

She would not forget this humiliation ever and she would surely make him pay for it. 

Alexis as glanced in the mirror at her face she realised that she had not once cried. Which is good she had to learn it one way or the other that crying would get her to nothing. 

She fixed her appearance a bit and washed her hands. No idea why that happened but she did it anyway.

Moving out of the washroom, she stopped for a moment just as her hand was on the knob and tried to give yourself some courage. 

'Be brave and think through.' She advised herself. 'Maybe, all of them were right. No one had any pure intentions. Everyone always had a hidden meaning inside.'

Her eyes burned with unshed tears as she realised what everyone had been saying was true. 

So she would no longer trust Angelo for everything.. Instead she would search for the woman and men who had dared to take advantage of her on her own.
