Infatuation Of Darkness

He sat on his desk looking through the new list of weaponry. This was more advanced but he still didn't trust the worthiness of the product. If he was ordering that, then he was ordering in bulk and he had to make sure that he got his money's worth.

He threw the file back on the table and called in his assistant. "Talio,"

"Sir," he came in immediately and stood near the chairs.

"I am not dealing with these suppliers and if they persist, ask them to send in bulk and if I find one even one item that does not work, I am sending the entire crates back and without paying them a single penny."

The man nodded and left.

Just as Angelo was ready to sit a knock came on his door and he growled in frustration. "Come in!" He yelled. He could not wait for Silvano to come back and take half of his responsibilities here.

Noah came in breathing heavily as if he had a run. "That girl has locked the room from inside and is not coming out and I think she even trashed the room."

If only there was something in his room that he could throw at this man's head. "She trashed the room?" He seethed out the words. Did she dare to?

He got up and walked to the room quickly, Noah catching up with him. "Break the door!" He yelled and the men stationed took the orders immediately. They pushed their shoulders against the door and within seconds it was down, a scream came from inside as the girl was probably frightened.

Angelo stepped in and saw that she had broken her mirror. Practically snarling he walked to the girl and pulled her hair, "I have better things to do than deal with an insolent brat of a kid who cannot think straight even when death staring at her in the face!"

She whimpered and joined her hands in front of him.

But that didn't please him. "What? You have wanted my attention now you have it." He threw her away and then walked to the couch. "Crawl to me."

Sammy stared at him with trembling lips. She wanted to deny but she knew better.

"Don't. Make. Me. Repeat." He whispered with starting at her. His leg was on the top of his other knee and he was leaning back on the couch with his arms resting beside him.

Sammy looked away form his daunting presence and to the door. No one stood there. She glanced back at the man who had a small smirk playing on his lips.

She sent a quick prayer to the lord.

Alexis smiled at the fidgeting girl in front of her. "Why are you scared?"

The girl shook her head immediately. She was on the edge of her seat ready to bolt out of the door if needed. Alexis knew that she did not have a daunting presence like Julia's did whose eyes look like they were piercing a person's soul.

She sighed and leaned in a bit, a gentle expression was on her face trying her best not to scare the little lamb. "Sweetheart we cannot move any further if you don't tell me what's on your mind honestly. Do you not want to volunteer job?" She asked instead. "it's alright if you don't, you can just say no to me."

She girl shook her head slowly and carefully spoke, "It's just that father and mother want me not to mess up in front of you and.."

She smiled understanding her point, "I understand. You are worried that somehow how you will mess up. That's an alright sweetheart."

Alexis took a file and handed it to the girl, "here's a list of volunteering jobs. I have the applications inside too. If you want you can in the field why you want to work in the future or just go for a normal minimum wage hour job."

Nova nodded and took it. She opens it up immediately and her eyes widened. "Wow, you even have accounting and law firms in here." She did. She has pulled a few strings with she didn't even know existed. "Oh my god, even libraries!" She squealed, "Donna, ma'am, can I take the file and circulate it amongst my friends?"

Alexis nodded. "Today is Tuesday and you can give it to me by the next Monday."

The girl nodded bowed a little and the cute smile left the room.

Agatha popped in immediately, "All okay Madam?"

She nodded. "the little bow at the end was a bit exaggerating but apart from that everything was alright."

"Ah," Agatha nodded, "Master Lucas is up."

Alexis nodded and got up her routine had been dealing with Lucas as his mother and the child seemed happy.

"Hello, baby!" She squealed as went inside his nursery and immediately giggled raising his arms of blabbering nonsense as Alexis cooed at him. "Look at that, look at that, handsome baby," she picked him up and walked towards the bathroom. "I think someone's stinky and needs a bath." She sniffed his neck animatedly making him laugh and wiggle around.

She bathed him and even dressed him. For someone who was watching them by standing near the door, they could easily tell that Alexis was the child's mother.

She had easily fit into the role just as Lucas had accepted her.

She took him to her room and laid him on the bed there. Right right in the middle and then laid down next to him.

He looked at her as Alexis smiled down at him. This was something Alexis never had. Something that was taken away from her.

"Hey," Angelo came into the room and took his place on the bed. He took her hand and kissed her knuckles. "How are you?" He whispered as Lucas was almost on the verge of sleeping.

"Good," she answered. "Are you ready for the announcement tomorrow at the Christmas party?"

Angelo sighed and nodded. "I worry."

"For?"

He looked into her eyes and spoke without any remorse. "I worry for the person who might speak out of turn for my family and get shot by me.." He sighed looking, "It's the beginning of me starting a family, I am not standing for anyone's shit."
