Infatuation Of Darkness

Alexis ran up the stairs and Agatha was behind her running to see what the whole commotion was about. Alexis banged open Lucas's door and the boy fell from his bed and looked at the Intruder. "Mama!" He shouted and placed a hand on his heart. "I told Bella Rosa not to eat the last batch of cookies!" 

She would have smiled but seeing him alright she moved to the next door. The twins. She stood in front of the door breathing heavily knowing that something could be in the room and she was scared to death.

She slowly moved to the door and stood in front of it. Gulping hard, she touched the knob with shaky hands and then firmly grabbed it, twisted it to the side and opened the door slowly trying not to alarm anyone.

She was met with silence and the sleeping bodies of the twins but the mother inside her was not satisfied so she went ahead and check their breathing.

They were alright.

Breathing and not bleeding.

She placed a hand on her heart. Her children were okay yet her heart thudded wildly. 

She sighed in relief and slid down the floor with her head against her knees as she curled herself to rest.

The fear was making her body shake, her heart pound a million times a minute and made her feel hazy.

But her children were okay and that was what mattered the most.

"Madam?" Agatha kneeled beside her. "Is everything okay?"

"I don't know," she whispered with her hands still covering her face. "I have no idea what is going on and why but all I know is someone is endangering the life of my children!" She sniffed. Her voice was on the verge of crying. Alexis was on the verge of breaking down why were her children being targeted?

She sniffed and heard footsteps moving up the stairs. Angelo stood at the door with Lucas right beside him.

"Go to our room. Sleep there for tonight." Lucas nodded walked to his parent's room as told.

"Are they okay?" Angelo asked his wife who was still on the floor.

She nodded and raised her arm to him. Angelo move forward and took the raised arm helping her to stand.

"Why don't you pick up one twin and I would pick up the other and we take them back to the room?" He offered in a soft voice knowing that she was not in a mental state and would immediately panic.

Alexis nodded and went for Salvatore that was right next to her and Angelo took for Bella Rosa. Both of them took the twins to their room the one that had been used by them before Angelo's night escapade. All three of them of that children were now lying on the bed sleeping comfortably where was the parents were wide awake. This bed was big enough for it. 

"What happened?" She asked him, both of when were nursing a glass of whiskey.

He sighed and took a sip. "We got her. It was Madison."

"Make her talk." That was all she said to which he smirked.

"I will," he leaned forward and caressed her hair, "but for tonight all you need to know is that we have her in her custody and I will make her talk for sure tomorrow. She will sing like a bloody Canary."

She sighed, a shaky sigh it was. Her heart was had still not calmed down after fearing for her children. Her legs were still shaking slightly from the fear that someone could have killed her children while she was away.

She turned to him, "I don't understand what is their problem. Madison met you and me after we were married so what is her problem. Where is the logic?!" She whispered tears coming to her eyes, "How is it that someway she thinks that another person belongs to her and then to top it all off your grandmother is helping her for what? After killing her husband she thinks that she still has a chance that people would accept her?"

Angelo didn't comment on it, letting her continue to get the fear out. 

"You have always portrayed that you are the level best when it comes to such things, that you know everything then how is it if that someone is targeting our children and you do not even know who is. Or someone killed your mother and you could not even punish that person instead you go out and you sleep with someone else?!"

"Alexis." He warned, his own eyes blazing now. 

She scoffed right at his face. "Sorry to say Angelo but I am starting to believe that all you can do is torture me and suppress my voice but when it comes to others and protecting your family you fail at it." She kept her glass down and took the end of the bed on her side leaving her husband to brood on the couch alone.

Angelo snarled but bite it back down. He realised that what Alexis had said was true because he had gone soft.

There was a time when no one would speak in front of him and yet here he was with his grandmother and a bitch, out of nowhere, were standing against him thinking that they could ruin him and his family.

It was the time for him to have a comeback and show all the others who had dared to think that they could take over what he had worked hard for.

He stood up and walked out of his room and moved to the basement. Madison was tied up there, barely conscious but alive.

"Water." He muttered and a guard threw a bucket of water on the woman.

Madison gasped awake and thrashed around. "What- Angelo." She mewled in happiness, "Hi. You-Ah!" Her head jerked to the side at the impact of having his hand slapping her.

"You think that you can come into my house and spy on my family?!" He roared his anger taking over. "What made you think that you can come into my children's bedroom and threaten their lives?!" His hand on its own stretched forward and held her throat squeezing it to his pleasure.

She gasped for breathes but he did not allow her any, for now, her breathes were in his control.

"Ple-" she gasped but he only tightened his hold more not wanting to hear her voice.

"I have had enough of people coming into my life and trying to mess it all up. You have no idea, even remotely, how hard I have tried to reach up and an easy bitch cannot come and ruin it all especially when you target to get my family and kill my mother."

She shook her head and fears came to her eyes realising that now the matter was on her life. "That was all Julia. She taught me how to shoot, she was the one to take the shot!"

That woman was mentally sick.

"And?" He barked. "Someone else is helping her, I know that for sure. Who is it?!"

She shook her head negatively, "I don't know! She does not tell me anything regarding that!"

He smiled at that. "Then I assume you are no longer of any use to either of us." He looked a buffed up guard, "get me the plyers.. It's been long since I have had fun."
