Infatuation Of Darkness

Bailey Peterson had been a gift in Alexis's life for the past five years. She had built up her mental strength and accepted the reality in terms of what it was. She no longer looked for an escape instead she accepted that she could have done better to handle the situation that she had been in which forced her to marry Angelo.

Nevertheless, it was the reality that she could not do anything then but that did not mean that she won't use the situation to her advantage now.

She had become a good mother and her children respecting and listening to her was proof of it. Angelo had become a good father he was strict as compared to her but also loving.

"Hmm," Bailey wrote something down, "And was it all how you wanted it to be?"

Alexis nodded. "Yes, the main thing I wanted from this day was Angelo and me as parents, together, getting the kids ready for today and that it happened which makes me happy for the morning."

Bailey nodded and then she joined her hands which made Alexis know that she was going to ask her a question that was going to make her feel uncomfortable. For the past five years that Alexis had been taking therapy from her, she knew the habits that Bailey had before asking her a question.

"What about your father? Have you thought of that?"

Alexis shook her head. She hadn't. There was no time to think about any of that in the past five years because she had been busy with her kids and her restaurant. After that, she also had a law firm opened to many pro bono cases offering her services to women who could not afford the legal fees and did it as her giving back to the society or more like having Angelo giving it back to society as he was the one taking a lot from it.

The doctor nodded and their session for today was completed. Alexis went to Lexus where Nikita was there, heavily pregnant with her second child.

"You should be resting." Alexis chided as she kissed her cheek in greeting. "You are in your last months of pregnancy."

Nikita tsked, "After this, I cannot go out for months as the baby will need me and I need to step out of the house and my overbearing husband's presence."

Angela and Silvano had both been obsessed with the kids and their pregnancy. so much so that Angelo had made sure that they slept together naked so that he could feel every movement of the babies.

She smiled at the memories. She said to Nikita with a straight and firm face, "That is alright that you want to stay and work but remember do not stand for a long period. Just sit here and let the manager do all the work."

Nikita nodded as she leaned back into the couch. "You can go to the firm. It's going to be alright."

Alexis smiled and did so. She had to get back at her law firm. Even though she had no idea how to run one she had people for her to do so. People who wanted to be honest lawyers defending other people against harassment and frauds.

Angelo had advised her to let him use the firm as a money-laundering service but she had denied it immediately. If anything, this was an honest practice on her part and he used the other company she had for money laundering.

The other one was a grocery store. Easy and someplace no looked at.

Finance and accounts Alexis knew very well because of which she often looked at the numbers of a firm and could easily detect if someone was committing fraud.

Blake knocked on her door and she let him in. "Madam, you called for Ivan Adams?" She looked up and saw the man standing behind blake. Nodding, he was left in and left them alone.

"Madam, it's an honour that you could take time out for me." He was the youngest son of a capo, who had received the opportunity to work with the FBI and when Alexis came to know about it she knew that she could use this opportunity.

She smiled at the nervous man. In the past years, Angelo had taken her to various business dealings. All the ones that she knew were humane and gave her a bit of a high to deal with. She had become like him, the businesswoman.

"Ivan, how is work at the office?" She asked keeping it straight from the beginning. Even before she had met Angelo she knew better than to beat around the bush so just as always she hit the nail on its target.

"Good Madam. They like my work because of which I am taking a promotion and I am on the middle level. I get to have access to a lot of classified information as well."

The mafia had given her power and authority and so were her children going to get it from which made the next question come out to be quite automatic on her tongue. "And in that classified information what is it written about us?"

He smiled with pride. "Nothing madam. Almost nothing. Even if it is, it's just about a few warehouses that never have anything in them."

She smiled stiffly at that. His reassurance meant nothing to her. "I don't care about what you say. The next time you come and meet me here I want you to bring me the files and what is written in them."

He nodded and their conversation was over. Alexis had to work and meet and greet people that had their cases being fought by the organisation.

She also made sure that no one in her firm was committing fraud and she checked so for Lexus too. Husband had been sneaky, she realised she was looking through the files he had been using Lexus for money laundering too.

She sighed, that gave her something to talk about for tonight.
