Infatuation Of Darkness

Alexis stared at the gun that was pointing right at her nose. She stared at it then her eyes flickered back to the woman who was with a crazed look holding it.

She had to act quickly and think the whole situation through so that without making the woman panic, she would get out unharmed. "By doing this," she pointed at the gun, "You think that he will even remotely come close to you?" She scoffed, "If you kill me, his wife, you will be directly challenging him and he will never marry you much less kill your entire family for this."

She didn't reply but tilted her head to the side. "What makes you assume automatically that he would know that it was me who killed you?"

"I believe there are only two people that have been missing from the dining table for the past 15 minutes."

She sighed and shook her head slowly. She stepped forward, Alexis took one back. The whole event gives the feeling of a predator and prey. Tatiana, was here to kill her and she was not even discreet about it. She was delaying it which made her enjoy it even more.

She had noticed Alexis from afar who was like a dazzling flower taking in all the attention and managing to stand tall and proud knowing that people were criticising the left and right with no care and without the knowledge of the truth.

Even though Alexis's eyes held the fear of her life and her Palm placed protectively on her nonexistent stomach she still looked beautiful. Even though she had plain brown eyes and black hair Alexis was one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen without a touch of science marking her skin.

Even had stretch marks on her arms and had no Botox and her eyes and on her lips yet she had managed to capture the attention of one man who had been available while being on the top.

"How did you do it? how did you make the one man fall for you that would never fall in love? That everyone knew would never love?"

"What?" Alexis gawked at her. She was right, the bitch was out of her mind.

She nodded. "I have practically forced my father and brother to ally with Angelo giving them my word that I would marry him and then you show up, we get the wedding invites and everything I have ever worked for..is just.." she sobbed. Her already moist eyes had started to produce tears and broke down in front of Alexis making her even more scared of the delusional woman. "He treated me like a princess. As long as you give him the respect th-hat he commands like every other man in the family he treated me like a princess. Fr-from Prada to Gucci I go-to everything." She cried her words barely made any sense. "Please.. oh god, it's not fair."

Her eyes snapped back to Alexis and she jumped from the fear as she saw her red eyes. Talk about crazed the woman looked unhinged. "You did it!"

'Fuck sakes woman, I was dragged into it. He did it!'

"I..uh.." What was Alexis to say here? Anything she said could be taken and complete opposite sense and she would end up practically dying. "I could .. divorce hi—Ah!" Gasping she palmed her cheek that had been slapped by the woman. It was throbbing and Alexis could feel a cut.

"You think that you are worthy enough of giving it that man a divorce?" She sneered looking like it dangerous animal. She stepped forward and held Alexis's hair that was bunched up in a bun and pulled at it harshly making her cry out. She placed the gun on her temple forcefully pushing it against the skin.

if Alexis had ever felt fear guarding something then this was tenfold of it. this was what people meant when they said that that was staring them in the face. One hand was holding the hand where Tatiana was pulling her hair and the other was still laid protectively in front of a belly hopefully trying to protect her child.

"you are nothing in comparison to the man you are married to. You nothing and comparison to me. Yes, you are the one who has it all." She smiled as she smashed her victims face against the wall pushing her against it. "But don't worry. I will make sure that he does not remember you, that you are so badly disfigured or mutilated I might say, but he won't even think of you before shivering with disgust."

A woman against a woman was nothing new for Alexis as she had had her fair share of women competing in the field of career. To be honest, everyone wanted a fair chance there and it was excused that they wanted their hard work to be awarded first but what she didn't like was a woman against women for the man who did not care enough for either.

That was an insult to both of them. that was it in search of their self-esteem and self-respect.

Mutilated was a word that held a lot of significance and was full of horror and experience Alexis wishes that no one has gone through and if she was planning for Alexis to be mutilated then it was where Alexis could end up even dead in the worst of conditions.

Which was unacceptable coming from a woman.

"How can you even talk of someone especially of fellow woman mutilated for a man that you couldn't have?!" She shouted, not at the top of her voice but it was raised enough to get the point across. "Do you not have any shame, any fear, any self-respect?" She pushed the woman forcefully making her stumble at the end of the gown get in caught beneath her foot. "Because if you don't then I believe the lack of these three does not validate your existence enough on this earth."

She halted down at the woman, fear no longer running in her veins but anger. "I believe you should be the one dying tonight.." She declared and for the first time instead of the crazed unhinged look, she saw pure fear.
