Infatuation Of Darkness

Silence had fallen all over as Adriano stayed still listening to her words with the slight shock on his face. He had never talked to her without Don's presence. 

"A few things to be run by me?" Highly sexist him but he was not supposed to work for Donna but Don himself.

She smiled and nodded. "Yes I had talked to Angelo about this numerous times and whenever he has something to be done, you are the man for the job. Now I'd like to see that for myself." 

She handed him a new list in which he had written the words again. "Here are a few times and changes that need to be carried out. For brothels, the changes should be made first."

He looked at her with wide eyes and asked, "You visited one?"

"You think my marriage has been an easy one?" She threw at him.

He was silent after that.

"Donna I cannot do this without direct authorisation from the don." He did not hand over the last but his hesitance was clear.

Alexis had no value to him if the Don was not next to her.

But she wasn't going to let that happen. "What makes you think I do not have to direct authorisation from the don? You think I'm sitting here giving you order without him knowing it?"

"I didn't say—"

She interrupted him, "I don't care what you say. I care about how fast you will get that done and if you cannot say it to my face and I will find someone else who is more capable than you to get these things done which assume for a man of your position would be quite easy but never the less I understand." She held her hand out, "Be kind and hand over that list, would you? I think I can find someone else better than you can do this."

He blinked at her words and looked down at the list. He had heard of Alexis being a wife that The Don needed but this was something completely bold and dangerous where he knew that if he challenged her she would not complain to the don instead she would take the matters into her own hands. Which by fore was considered more dangerous. "Madam, this is . . ."

"Excuses is all you have." She tsked and anger came to her face making it redden, "I asked you to give a bad and here you are still making excuses. Give it back at you know I know someone who can do it better."

He looked down for a quick second and then snapped his head back at her. "I apologize for my hesitance, Donna. I will get the work done as soon as I can and I will intimate you to review it." He stood with the paper in his hands, "I shall take my leave now." Bowing slightly to her, he left.

Alexis had was sitting with her shoulders and back straightened with if the bold expression on his face but as soon as the men left and the front doors closed her resolution fell apart and she slumped down.

"That was quite a brave Madam." Agath praised having listened in the conversation. "You were completely taken over by the role!"

Alexis glanced and at her and then nodded slightly. Agreeing with the. She had been completely consumed by the role given to her and this time she was not ashamed to admit that she had used the power that she possessed and grow from him for the betterment of someone else.

People would soon know what she had done especially in the Mafia family words travelled faster than light.

With Isabella gone it only seemed fair that people knew Alexis had taken the new role of Donna and she was not afraid of anyone.

*********

If Adriano had told Angel about it then Angelo did not bother to mention it to her during the dinner when he came home. He had simply settled into the routine. 

She was still wearing the sapphire ring inside of the emerald one and she could see that Angelo was glancing at that every few minutes.

This was a regular family dinner. Both of the parents were paying attention to all three of their children listening to the complaints and cries of the horrors they had seen inside the school. Shortening the words they hated studying.

Bella Rosa had gone as far as to complain and declared that she was going to burn her books when the year was over.

Alexis glanced at her husband knowing that the words came from him and that her husband had imprinted on his daughter.

"Bella Rosa, you are not burning your books. We will be giving them to someone as fortunate as us." She sternly stepped in.

Bella shook her head. "The books for giving me a headache now they have to feel my wrath!" She growled and held up her fork. "I will poke. Poke. Poke it."

Stab. Stab. Stab it.

"Dear God," she muttered before admonishing her child again.

Now was the time for bed and Alexis was talking the children to bed. Lucas was a big boy as he claimed and changed into his night suit while she watches him do it and then he brushes his teeth in front of her whole 3 minutes. She kissed him good night and then closed the door to his room. 

Next, she moved to the bedroom of the twins. The wild ones.

Bella Rosa had torn a page and was aggressively tearing it apart piece by piece making Alexis's heart shiver.

She had to consider talking to miss Bailey about child aggressiveness and what she had to do about it.

She laid the twins down and moved to tell him a story but this time Bella rose of wanted in the new one and Alexis moved to the cupboard to grab a new storybook.

She opened the door and her eyes met with something red.

BASTARDS DIE.

Was written in blood.
