Infatuation Of Darkness

Alexis stood opposite to the windows and watched as the cars flew by. For the past week, she had completely ignored Angelo's existence and he had also not bothered her that much. She was mildly surprised when he had chosen to give her space and time that she wanted instead of pursuing her. 

Space and time in which she had thought a lot of things in and most of them were just realisations coming to terms. She had learnt a lot of things in this while than she had learnt in the past 20 years.

She watched as another car went by. He was not home, in fact, Angelo had left early without informing her and somehow she fell to relieved that his presence was not inside the house and that she was alone. Alexis wanted to do something about this whole situation, somewhere she wanted to hurt him, somewhere she wanted to have to one up on him that she could use any time she wanted.

She drank her tea and finished it. Keeping the cup on the table she moved up the stairs and entered his office. With no fear as the guard was not here because the residence was new and not as big as he had back in New York, she was not afraid that someone would catch her and also Angelo did not have a camera inside his office.

She closed the door and locked it. Then she turned around with her back against the door and looked at the room. Where was something that she could use?

She started by opening the drawers in his desk. As she rummaged through them well but there was nothing of use that could be against him and if she thought about it, they had just shifted to Chicago so why would he keep his important files inside the house.

But there had to be something in here. Something that he was hiding from everyone that she could use.

She walked towards the built-in bookcase he had in his office. Carefully and keeping them back in their place, she was thinking of not getting caught too.

Every file had something in it that she did not understand and if it continued then she was sure that it would take the whole day. Every file has something written in it that she did not understand and she was sure that if she got to reach there she would not have the time to find something so she placed them back in their original habitat just as they were left by him.

His laptop was on the desk but she did not touch it. it would be obvious that it had a password on it and access for sure that she did not even know the man enough know or be able to guess it.

So what was it? What was it that she could do?

Could not even cause a little damage on her own?

'Ugh! This makes me so depressed!' she groaned. Why couldn't she think of something to make a damn statement about her rebelling Him.

And that's when it clicked her. It had been in her pocket all along and all she had to do was dial a number.

********

"Who is it?" The voice with an exaggerated tone was heard on the phone making her roll her eyes at the person. she had always been like this and this time Alexis was not going to stand back rather she would insult this woman.

"Who do you think it is? Your daughter. Can you not read the caller ID?" Alexis taunted her with no shame.

"Alexis!" The woman gasped. "Oh, my darling! Wait what kind of way is that to talk to your mother?"

Alexis could practically hear the frown in her mother's voice over the phone. Usually, she would have a policy choice for this argued but she cares now? Nope, she did not give a damn.

"There is not a way to talk to my mother. Yes." She agreed right away to her faults. "But this is the way to talk to a woman who has abandoned me more time than a stray cat."

She had her mother become silent on the phone did not stop even then and continued to taunt her further over her mistakes.

"And the most important point to be noted here is that is that with a stray cat you never expect it to come back but there you are entering my life again and again when you leave it on your own will."

Vanessa had fallen silent and her daughters talking. To be frank, Alexis knew that we had not expected her daughter talk to her with such an open mouth.

Alexa side and threw an ultimatum to her mother. "If you do not wish to continue talking I can hang up. We do not have to do this anymore than you or I want."

"No, wait!" Came her mother's immediate reply. "I have something to talk to you about but I cannot get my calls through."

Alexis shrugged before answering. "Yes, I had blocked you." She admitted.

"What?!" A speech came to her ears and she immediately winced.

"How dare you even think of blocking your mother? Have I not done enough you where you dare to block me?"

All her life Alexis had heard this dialogue. The one where her mother always said that had she not done enough for Alexis and this time Alexis could not hold back so she spoke her godamn mind without any respect for the women.

"I applaud you. How can we know only can you ask me that question all my life? can you name three things that you have done for me by going out of the way?" All she heard was silence. "all you have ever done is leave me alone when I need you the most and never turn back to look at me. How many times has it been that you have abandoned me just for yourself?" She cried but kept her voice firm.

"Yes I thought of blocking my mother and I did it.. Frankly, I did so because she was never a mother to me."
