Infatuation Of Darkness

Anxiety attack.

That's what she remembered the last time she was here which is why she had decided to take the stairs this time.

"Stay with me, Liam." She whispered to the guard who was walking in front of her.

Watching his back stiffen a bit, he turned his face around a little to ask, "Is there something I should know or be prepared about, Madam?"

She sighed but her arrogance and newly found power didn't let her speak the truth. "No. I just need the manpower." She shrugged. "Need to get set a few things straight."

Something flashed in his eyes and he nodded. As if ready for it to come his way. "Yes, Ma'am. We won't disappoint."

Elijah witnessed the exchange happening in front of him silently. She wasn't this brave always and he wondered if what Angelo provided her with was the reason if it. To be honest, he would not blame her, hell if his wife was even a little power as Alexis's husband he would be taking advantage of it as well.

Her steps slowed as she came in front of the door and it didn't go unnoticed by Elijah that her hands were shaking.

"Should I?" A whisper reached his ears and he knew that she was on the brink of crying. "I.."

"It's in front of you and you don't know if you want it or not." He concluded. "I don't want to give my opinion on this matter but I would like to ask home by he did so." He nodded in support, "so I don't know about must but I think we should." That was true. If he had to imagine himself as her place, he couldn't even imagine how she must have gone through such times.

"Okay," she nodded with some certainty in her eyes. She was grateful for her support.

"Liam." She pointed to the break.

"Yes ma'am." Stepping back a few steps, he moved forward-

"No! No breaking the door!" She hissed.

"Oh," he mumbled. "That would have been fun."

She rolled her eyes.

He knocked on the door then. A bit aggressively but so, it caused a good effect. 

Someone came to the door, "What is-" Liam and one more guard barged in and then so did Alexis and Elijah.

"Hey?! Don't- I'm gonna call the cops."

"Don't make me call them." Alexis countered instead. "Jeff go call your husband please."

"You-" he pointed at her. "You are his sister, right? What's this about? Why are you barge-" Liam slammed him up against the wall and pushed his face up against his.

"She said, call your husband. Don't call a cop cuz' I'd know." He gritted and pushed once more on the wall.

"Yes, yes." Jeff nodded hurriedly. "I w-will." He whispered while being in a clear stare of panic and nodded again with wide eyes. 

Liam let him go and he fell on the floor. He got up and crawled away from the big, burly man all while Alexis watched the show.

She should have gotten something to eat or drink.

Silence washed over them as Alexis checked her surroundings. She found nothing that could belong to a baby in any way. There were no toy or playpen or even children books lying around but to be honest the child must be pretty grown up now it could be possible that Jayden had the child cleaning up after him to set early habits.

"What the fuck?!"Jaden growled out as soon as he came into the living room and saw his siblings. "What is wrong with both of you?! Get out!"

"Get out?" Alexis repeated with a scoff. "Don't ask me to get out, sit your ass down and talk." Liam went forward grabbed Jaden by the collar and threw him on the couch. His husband Jeff who had already encountered the bloody man once immediately went to his husband and sat down next to him quietly and quickly.

"What are you doing?" He hissed. "Elijah, when did you come back?"

He scoffed in return. "Why did you not want me to?"

"Let's cut to the chase," Alexis cut their conversation in between and directed the attention to her self. "Where is she?"

Her eyes did not miss how Jeff frowned and how Jayden Williams paled a bit. He glances around the room and asked, "Where is who?"

"My daughter!" She growled out shocked by the fact that he did not know who she was talking about. "Who else could I ask about to a person like you?"

"Like me?!"

"Yes! What have you ever done for a family that you have started one with him!" She pointed at Jeff. "there is not one thing that you can do right yet here you are taking away everything that belongs to me and I want it back!"

Jeff was listening in the conversation and he turned to husband whispering, "J, what is she talking about?" He looked scared especially with the men standing inside his apartment.

"It's okay," he whispered to his husband and then turned to his sister, "Alexis you have no idea what you're talking about and I want you to leave."

"Hah!" She barked out a laugh. "There is no way in hell I am leaving you without making sure that I have my baby with me!" She yelled while glaring at him hard enough to shatter his soul.

Elijah ran a hand over his tired-looking face. "Jaden you know what you did was wrong and a crime. Let's not go to court and drag this out." He warned, "because I can promise you this that you are not winning in any way possible."

He looked around and shrugged his shoulders. "Listen there is nothing more to win about, you need to leave. We can talk another day." He joined his hands, "I am begging you, leave."

Alexis got up expecting a reaction and she got it from Jaden who looked relieved for a second. she smiled and stepped closer to him enjoying that he was scared of what she was going to do. "How ironic that just like today, you join your hands in front of me that day."

He pulled his hair, "please." He then glanced at his husband. "Not today, not here. It's not the right time."

Alexis's glare became more prominent, her cheeks reddened with anger and her mouth pinched. "Well, I must have thought wrong. After all, you know what's the best time for anything right?"

"What?" A whisper came from Jeff.

"Oh, of course, you don't know." She cooed to him. "Your husband here stole my daughter. The moment I-I gave birth and was dying from exhaustion and pain he took her away-"

Jayden stood up cutting her off, "Well she's dead now so it doesn't matter!" He yelled.
