Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 222

She sighed and pouted a bit. Lying on the couch in the living room in her night suit, she hmmed to a tone which had no connection to any songs or tune.

Angelo was sitting next to her having her feet up on his thighs as he read the newspaper.

She sighed once more and he had enough of it. Roughly closing the newspaper and folding and back shot he turned towards her, “What happened? Why have you been sighing all morning?”

She clicked her tongue, “Nothing..” she said with a sigh irritating him even further.

“Just get on with it.” He snapped. “If there is something that you want to say, out with it. Now.”

She looked at him and then once again to the ceiling, showing clear hesitance in telling him whatever was on her mind. She then took her legs off of him and sat up straighter instead of lying down like before. “I don’t like it here… Can we not go back to New York?” She whispered as if she didn’t want to often him. “It’s been months that we have been here and I think it would be a nice change if you went back for a while if your schedule allows that.” She offered as if it were up to him and she didn’t want to cause any more troubles.

He nodded slowly still looking at her. Tearing his gaze away from he said, “I think I can get back to you on that later.”

She nodded grimly.

“Oh, he is soooo saying yes! You just have to wait for it.” An excited Nikita gushed over the phone. “and don’t worry about the party I will get everything done! So much so that everyone will remember it for years to come!”

Alexis Chuckled. “What party? We are not even sure that is going to take us back to New York.”

“Oh, but he is.” Nikita then explained, “I will tell you this, they do not give you false hope. So, if by any chance there was no way to take you back he would have said no or that he would have taken you back in some time but he said he would think about it, so he is probably clearing his schedule.”

“How can you be so sure?” Alexis couldn’t help but laugh a bit at her explanation. “It’s more like a guess that you just made.”

She clicked her tongue in return. “Not a guess honey, I talk from experience and observations I made in the past. the truly never give you fall so if there is something they cannot do this a no and if there is a slight possibility of them doing it, then they think it through, hence ‘I’ll get back to you’.”

“Ahh.” She got it now.

With a beeping voice coming from her phone she checks that to see Angelo was calling her.

“I’ll call you later and Angelo is calling me!” She hung after goodbye and picked his phone up.

“Hi?” She said a little breathless but hyperactive about what he had to say.

“You sound breathless, running?” Of course, he noticed.

“Meh..” she answered with a shrug. “So whatchu call me for?” She jumped on the bed.

“I wanted to inform you about something you wanted.”

“Ohhh, the new LV line?” She immediately grinned as she felt herself in a good mood.

“No,” he answered but paused a bit before saying, “did you want that?”

She clicked her tongue. “Naah.”

“Then wh-” He huffed. “Anyway, moving forward, we will be going back to New York this weekend and stay there for a whole week. Is that okay with you?” He waited.

Alexis couldn’t believe it. Her plan worked!

“Yes! It does, but do you mind if I threw a party there?” She winced a bit as she waited. “You know, us woman and family getting to know each other.”

He was silent.

“Hey? You there?” She frowned. “I won’t if it bothers you-”

“No, it’s fine.” He cut her off. “I glad that you took the initiative. If you need anything ask my mother and Nikita for help. They would be glad to do so.”

“I will. Now get your ass to be work!” She chuckled.

“Really?” He teased back. “What are you going to do?”

“I can do a lot. I am sleeping with my boss.” She whispered. “Want any favours? Wink. Wink. ”

He laughed a genuine and boyish laugh which made her smile as well.

“Oh dear,” he tried to calm his breath down. “I have to end the call now.”

Saying a bye and receiving it back. She smiled and immediately dialled back to Nikita.

Angelo smiled again as he looked at his phone where she was on his wallpaper.

Such a sweet little deadly thing she was.

“I have news.” Silvano barged in the room making Angelo lookup in the ceiling in annoyance.

“Can’t you ever knock?” He muttered. “It’s irritating.”

He sat down in front of his brother and shook his head. “That is not irritating. What’s irritating is Marcus trying to push in our territory.” He snapped. “That man has no bounds. He’s even trying to push his daughter-in-law into The Donna’s circle,” he pointed a finger at him, “Your wife, the Donna. God knows whenever she might die of food poisoning.”

Angelo nodded in agreement and spoke, “Then they won’t stay in my house. They would be at the guesthouse. Close hut not as much as they want.”

Silvano ran a hand on his tired-looking face, “It’s fucked up man. Here we consider family everything..and they..”

He sighed, “I don’t trust anyone with my life,” he repeated the words, “Grandfather said those words and those are the only I have ever heeded myself too.” He added with a furrow in his brows, “I think one more..”

“Which one?” His brother asked immediately intrigued by the conversation. That old bastard could teach them nothing valuable.

He clicked his tongue, “It’s a bullshit reason.”

“He was a bullshit man.”

“True,” Angelo Laughed, “He said, ‘Dont let that bastard get in front of you. We are dictators. Dictate.”

Understanding dawned on Silvano as he confirmed, “So he..?”

“Yes,” with a dark look Angelo confirmed.. “And at the words of his father.”
