Infatuation Of Darkness

Having her bags packed, she placed them down and called in a guard to carry them out. This vacation was not for a week or two but for the weekend only. As Angelo said, 'it was for you to clear your mind not enjoy.'

She rolled her eyes.

Elijah was ready as well and he had been introduced to Nikita and Isabelle yesterday night at dinner. Frankly, Isabelle seemed a little suspicious of the sudden experience of her cousin but Alexis could not care less. Her mother-in-law should have known by now that Angelo had probably done a whole background check on Elijah and his existence.

they had soon reached the airport with Elijah by her side and boarded the jet. Isabelle was feeling tired and had chosen to retire for the time being in the bedroom that Alexis had prior woken up in which left the three alone.

"Psst.." Alexis looked with shocked eyes at Elijah. Psst? What was with him? She tilted her head a little to ask him.

He pointed his eyes and face towards Nikita to who was busy on her iPad.

Alexis tilted her head a bit further.

He widened his eyes and returned and pointed them at Nikita with more force.

"That's Nikita." Alexis mouthed words to him only for him to facepalm himself which further attracted Nikita's attention.

"What's up with you?" Nikita asked him with the raised eyebrow.

"Uh.." he scratched his head, "nothing.." he squeaked out.

Nikita turned to Alexis, "what's up with your cousin?"

Alexis in return glanced at Elijah and replied to her with a cheeky smile. "Nothing, I think he is just intimidated by you."

"What?!" He objected immediately and turned to Nikita. ".. that's not true." He squeaks out once again making Alexis laugh and Nikita shake her head.

"What? Do you want to say something to me?" Nikita closed iPad and turned her attention towards Elijah completely making him turn around. "Oh come on I'm just as human as any of you." She laughed a bit.

"It's just.." He hesitated. "How are you so intimidating yet suppressed?"

The laughter and shine which was once held by Nikita vanished and she was a mask of braveness. "If only I knew the answer to that. I assure you that I won't be here." She smiled a little.

"And that lady?"

"Angelo and Silvano's mother, our mother in law," Nikita answered. "You met us yesterday, already forgotten?" She teased making him blush. 

"No..it's just.." 

"Speak freely." To be honest Nikita was aware of what Alexis had in mind by inviting her brother to the country and their home. 

"I meant why is she not involved with us."

"because she is their mother and before everything else, she will always keep her sons above us." Nikita showed no shame another meeting such facts and Alexis somehow felt relieved that there was another person who knew about such thing as well. A mother no matter how wrong her child could be for her but always favour them no matter what and especially about strangers which Nikita and Alexis were. 

Nikita got up and took the seat in front of Alexis. "What are you going to do when you go home?"

Sighing lazily she shook her head, "I have no idea. Maybe the restaurant.." she shook her head, "that's a New York so I guess the next thing I do would be forcing Angelo to go back to New York."

"The restaurant was a nice distraction." Nikita agreed. "How have you dealt with the baby situation?" 

Alexis breath hitched as she realised what she had forgotten about. After the anxiety attack, she had completely forgotten about Jayden and the baby. A sudden shudder of panic went across her and she paled making Nikita frowned.

Turning to Nikita with a taut face and a stern gaze she answered. "I have a few things to do when I will get others first." Her tone and facial expressions left no choice for questions or arguing or questions as she made it clear that she did not want either. So Nikita nodded in return. 

"Alright. Need any help?" 

"No, I hope not." Alexis shook her head. this time there was going to be no panic attack of fainting or any kind of breathing problems that would hinder her from facing Jaden. She was now where of where Jayden was staying and the first thing after the days rest was going to be having a good straight conversation with him. 

She got up and took Nikita place, in front of Elijah. "Do you remember Jaiden?"

"Him?" Elijah frowned. "Wasn't he..?"

"Apparently not and I am going to face him for it." Alexis hissed. "He lied and took my baby with him for which I will make him pay."

Elijah knew of what happened between the two siblings and because of which he knew that it was better not to mind in between but that did not mean he would sit on his clear conscience and let things be torn apart. 

"But Alexis didn't you-"

She shook her head and looked at him with the sharp gaze making him stop. "No! What I did was done in exhaustion and emotion and he should have been there with me trying to figure it out and telling me to rest for making that awful decision but no instead he chose to behave like a coward and took the one most important thing from me."

Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned, this had never become more clear him than now. Alex's eyes wide and red was creeping in in them. Her face was red too and it was clear by the hands that she had fisted she was very angry. 

"But they are already living the life-"

"That I was supposed to live!" She hissed still mindful of Nikita dropping in. "He had no right to force me to make a decision or rather guilting me into something I would never consent to. But here we are.." a tear slipped her eye, "once what he made me do I would make him do the same." She vowed. 

Not being able to hold back any further Elijah aggressively hissed at her as well. "And what good would that do to you?! You will be doing the same and what different could you be?!"

"Enough." She stood up and stared down at him, "you can listen to your conscience as much as you want but we both know that he was wrong and he was not just wrong but he committed a sin for what he did..." She took a step closer to him and stepped down in his eyes with wrath written on her body language. "Now, you can either help me..or..."
