Infatuation Of Darkness

"Would another slap make you talk?" Someone pulled her hair back making her cry out. "Fucking speak girl. Do not test my patience."

"I am not l-lying. I have been doing it for years. I have a talent for hacking, I can hack into literally everything I have also tried the pentagon and no one was even aware of my presence."

"Hmm," the guy sighed. "That's an interesting talent for an 18-year-old girl. You do know what you were doing when you were trying to crawl into my organisation, weren't you?"

She didn't. If Sammy had even the slightest of the idea that she would be kidnapped by the very organisation that she was looking into for fun she would have never even touched her computer.

She had heard about these guys they were merciless, ruthless and vengeful. They never let anyone off the hook.

She shook her head.

The man hummed again. "well then Sammy, I hate to break it to you but you're not going back to your house ever again. You are going to be staying here and praying to God that we find a use for you so that we don't end up selling you. Place the gag back on her mouth."

Angelo turned around and left. He was followed by Adriano and Noah back to his office.

He sat on his chair and pointed his finger to Noah. "Once the girl figures it out that she can work for us with her skills you will undertake the responsibility of grooming her as a perfect soldier and I am warning you since you were not able to become one, she should not be a failure as well." The man nodded and left.

Adriano stayed behind for Angelo's orders. "Make sure that the failure of a man does not mess up with that girl. She is going to be my perfect little soldier," he grinned maliciously, "ready to do whatever I tell her."

**********

Nikita and Alexis had gone to the mall for some baby shopping and were currently enjoying tea. She had not told anyone about her pregnancy except for her husband but she had informed Nikita of the baby which had come with them.

Nikita also informed Alexis about Silvano's visit to the hospital.

"Why did you not call any of us there? You must have needed support." Alexis admonished her immediately. "Nikita I cannot believe this, you say that you consider me as your family and when you needed support from me you never called."

Nikita smiled at her. It was sad and Alexis knew that there was another reason behind her not calling for help. "Silvano has somehow always felt inferior because he has asthma because of which he frequently visits the hospital alone, not even with me. If I had called you for his health he would have taken me as someone who sees him weak."

Alexis stared at her before scoffing. "That's one of the most stupid reasons I have ever heard."

Nikita denied. "It's just men that are stupid. That's just plain and simple to understand." She placed her cup down and stood up. "Anyway, thank you for including me in your day. I will take my leave now." She hugged Alexis who stood up for her and then left.

Alexis didn't sit down after that and moved towards the dining table. "Tell Pam that I would feed Lucas today." She told Agatha who had come in to collect the utensils. She nodded and left as Alexis took her seat.

A high chair was brought in and after some time so was Lucas. He was up and about for today and a small smile came to Alexis' face as She watched him. "Give him to me, Pam. Eat your lunch and take the rest for the day. If need you, I will call you for you."

She nodded and left. Leaving the baby to Alexis who made him stand on her lap. The previous fleeting thought that had entered her mine came back once again. "I will love you like my own Lucas I promise you that. Because somehow I feel that you..." are like the child I never had.. "deserve it." She finished instead.

He giggled more as if happy for the outcome. She kissed his head. "Cutie cutie," she rubbed her nose with his.

"That's a sight I would love to home come to every day." Her husband's voice came in as he stood leaning against the door.

She smiled at him and Lucas clapped his hands. "Come sit. Food's going to be right out."

He nodded and went back up, washing his hand he came back down. This time the food was already there and Alexis was eating it.

"Aren't you supposed to wait for everyone?" He frowned at her as the chef placed his plate.

She shook her head. "I'm a mom and a mom to be. I eat when I want." She shrugged.

"That's not a compelling argument sweetheart."

She shrugged unapologetically, "Sorry, not sorry."

Angela bit back his smile and took another bite of his food watching his son with his wife. Alexis took one bite of her food and then fed Lucas one wiping his mouth simultaneously of the access food. Anyone could have mistaken Lucas to be Alexis own child instead of someone that she had adopted.

"Adoption process is almost complete. The lawyer will be bringing in papers in a few minutes." He informed her to which she nodded.

"Alright," she nodded and focuses back on the child. "We went for nursery shopping today. This child has a strange fascination with the colour red."

"One would say, its blood-" he shut up with the glare casted towards him. He cleared his throat, "Well, red is certainly an attractive colour. It kind of screams for attention."

He fisted the fork. Angelo couldn't believe that he was scared of Alexis glare. When did that ever happen?

He sighed and glanced over to the duo. They seemed like the normal family. Mother feeding her child and the father lovingly glancing at his family.

There was nothing more beautiful than what was in front of him.
