Infatuation Of Darkness

"Good morning." Angelo wished her as he kissed her forehead. "Wake up you have a long day ahead of you."

She opened her eyes a little and glances at him with her face scrunched in disgust. She tinted around and pulled up the covers over her head. "Go away." She croaked.

Angelo chuckled and shook his head. Cute, he tilted his head.

Alexis was so happy. The warmth was getting to her and sleep once again when she felt wet.

Opening her eyes, she yelled as she emerged from the water.

"What the fuck is worth with you?!" She yelled at her husband who was laughing his arse off after throwing her in a tub full of cold water. "It's not funny, Angel!" She yelled again.

"Oh, it was." He sobered up. "Do yourself a favour and take a warm bath. I'll be waiting downstairs for breakfast with your cousin." He nodded with a big smile on his face and left.

His smile was gorgeous but this might be the only time that she was cursing it to hell and back.

"Ugh!" She hit her hands in the water and got out of the tub and moved forward to take a shower.

Hot shower.

She heard laughter once again and her face twisted into an ugly expression, she was going to kill him.

When Alexis entered the dining room Elijah and Angelo were already having their morning coffees.

"Wow, I feel the love." She taunted at their attempts to wait for her and begin together. "From both of you." She corrected herself as she saw both of them ready point to each other.

"I was just taking care of our guests." He shrugged.

"Hey! You were hungry." Elijah pointed towards the half-eaten bowl of fruits in front of Angelo.

"Anyway." She sighed and took her seat nodding at the server to serve them all. "Elijah and I will be going out, I'm not sure when will be coming back but probably before dinner."

"Alright." He nodded. "Stay close to security." He reminded her.

She nodded and glanced at Elijah, whoever so discreetly shook his head still denying whatever you want to do with the Jaden situation. Alexis family kept her head where it was not responding to his suggestion. He had no idea how bad it felt when she woke up still tired from the pain and suffering that she had gone through and finding out that the one thing should care about the most had been ripped away from her by her decision that she did not even remember making. 

It was all like a dream which had turned into a sad reality. A dream she did not even want yet it came true. 

"What's wrong?" Angelo gently tapped her hand making her shake out of her thoughts and come back to reality. 

"Wha- Nothing." She looks at him. Did he say something?

"Eat then." He pointed to her untouched breakfast. "even if you are going to be out of the house for the whole day keep an eye on what you eat." He then warned, "because if Liam tells me or any other god that you did not eat anything, I swear to God I am going to shove the food down your throat and then lock you inside the house."

"Fine!" She rolled her eyes and began eating where is Elijah felt a shudder run down his spine. 

He wondered what was wrong with his sister not take his warning seriously and even if she did how did she continue to eat and function normally? 

Elijah his head, Angelo was the one man that could make him piss his pants anytime.

"Are you sure about it?" Elijah asked as he waited for her Dinah her make up. "We can go back or we can go to a mall instead of a park anywhere you want." He offered. 

"Nope." She opened her eyes liner, "it's not some petty cash that he stole from me or some inheritance left for me. It was my daughter he took away just because he thought that he would have a chance to become a father."

Elijah swallowed and went ahead to explain from Jay's side. "He was confused-"

"Being confused in no way shape or form allows him to steal a child, now does it?!" She taunted, "otherwise every other person kidnapping a child could be excused for being confused in what he had to do with his life." 

"I am not saying that.." he still tried to take his brother side even though it was not making sense to do so. But Alexis had to understand what was at stake here. "He was gay and he just found it out. Your parents were not accepting him what was he supposed to do." 

"Move on, for all I care now." She aggressively pinned the cap back. "I stood with them I stood with him against the whole family. I was ready to help him out every way but what did he do instead of fishing and with me, he took away everything from me!" Red crept into her eyes and she looked deranged for a few seconds. "it's not something I am going to forgive him for very easily, he is going to pay for it and he is going to pay hell for it." She vowed. "so I am asking your face once again are you going to stand with me?" She breathed heavily as she said the next words. "Because I need a brother will always be with me instead of running away."

From her words dripped desperation. Desperation for some help, for support and companionship. Alexis and Jayden had been the perfect pair of siblings yet they were apart because of their mother. Where Vanessa worked and was out of the house almost all day long, Jaden never came inside and that left Alexis alone in the house. whenever Jayden came back in front of Vanessa it became the perfect sibling relationship and little Alexis could not help but play along. She wanted the tension she wanted the love and she got it this way so she accepted it. 

Now that she had been tricked into losing something so precious Alexis wanted revenge or not even revenge, Elijah figured she just wanted an answer to why did it happen to her. Maybe a confrontation was what she needed. 

"Alright." He nodded with a smile. "I would come with you.." He promised unaware of the fact that this would all lead to a great storm coming in.
