Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 234

“The green one,” Alexis spoke to answer the woman who held up different dresses for Alexis to choose from. “The sparkly green one.” She clarified.

She was wearing a bathrobe and had her hair up in a towel. It was time to get ready.

People were bustling around her. Even though it was not an event where it would make headlines, she was excepted to wear it.

With the recent estimation of Angelo’s net worth, it had come out to be that within a month or two at most Angelo would be a billionaire.

And that was all from his legal activities.

‘That means he is already A billionaire with his illegal one’s.’ She concluded. Which further just confirmed her suspicions that he didn’t have limited resources at his disposal. They were limitless.

She sighed and sat down on the bed. It was a party that she had conducted for women. She looked around the room as it was being cleared from the dresses that she had to pick from. There were the most amazing and stunning dresses that she had ever seen.

initially, she had wanted to go with something that was a little low-key yet stood out but with the dresses that had been presented to he,r it was obvious that she was supposed to do anything but.

She sighed and looked at the dress once more. It was flashy, a column dress yet it was tucked a bit on the waist and was sparkling.

Perhaps it was The sparkle that had attracted Alexis to this dress in the first place. The rest were flared and needed some room which Alexis was not in favour of as she wanted people to stand near her. It was a first time meeting them at if we had a dress on which purposely made people stand and step away from her, it won’t be as warm and inviting as she wanted it to be.

Herself to be.

“Give us a few.” She looked up from her daydreaming and saw her husband standing at the door looking at her and then glancing at the dress.

He closed the door and walked to stand in front of her looking down at his wife and observing, “You are not happy or excited I thought you will be.”

She tsked lowly. “I think I am nervous.” She looked at him, “do you think I am doing the right thing?”

He smiled a bit and then bent down, keeping his hands at her knees he spoke gently. “I understand that you think so because it’s your first time hosting a party and meeting a large number of people that expect a lot from you. But you are going to do great.”

“Nothing can tell you that or assure me about it.”

He squeezed her knee and then lightly rubbed it. “Nikita and my mother would be there. Also if you do not want to be there, you just have to say the word.”

“Hah!” She scoffed. “I would be a stuck up bitch.” She shook her head. “That is the opposite of what I want to be.”

“I am counting the options in front of you that you already have.” He pointed out. “And don’t you worry just as you’re dealing with the ladies of the family and I’m dealing with the man.” He flashed her a quick smile, “the best part about it all as you have to get ready with people and I can wear a suit on my own.”

She gave him a stink eye and narrowed his eyes at his figure who was sitting at his knees, “you are so funny.”

Kissing her forehead, he wished her luck and kissed her goodbye.

Alexis was alone for merely when 10 seconds when the people worked in a once again.

The number of people even though the room was bigger than that of two whole studio apartments, made her feel stuffy.

Something constricted the airflow and she felt nauseated.

She opened her mouth breath and released a shaky breath.

“Madam, are you alright?” Agatha came near her and whispered bending down. even though people inside the room and close to the Alexis none of them could hear words due to the noise.

Alexis nodded but shook her head in the middle of it. She was not okay. Perhaps she had developed anxiety living with this family.

“I-I feel real..” What’s the word for it? She rummaged around her head for it, “..like..stuffy.” she answered honestly looking at her with burning eyes, blinking a few times she tried to clear the moisture.

“Oh,” Agatha looked around the room,” would you like me to get you a glass of water?”

She nodded hurriedly anything was welcomed at this point and Agatha immediately got up to do that.

Her mouth salivated and she swallowed again, trying to get rid of it but nothing happened. It was the same as before.

“Here mad-”

She got and ran to the bathroom banging the door shut on the way in and vomited into the toilet.

She retched and felt her throat burn, her stomach hurt and her nose wrinkled at the god awful smell.

Someone held her from behind, probably holding her towel which was on the verge of falling as she bent over the toilet. Her throat continued to burn as she continued to vomit taking out all the contents that she had eaten during the entire day.

“There there,” Agatha murmured which surprisingly didn’t annoy Alexis. She had stopped vomiting but her throat still burnt and she mouth had a disgusting after taste in it.

“Come in Madam,” Agatha pulled her up and made her stand in front of the washbasin. First, she handed her the mouthwash and then the brush. As she finished, she gave Alexis the mouth wash once again.

“Water?” She asked in a soft voice to which Alexis nodded. She drank from the glass.

“I have no idea..” she thought about it as the stench lingered in the bathroom. “Did I..what did I eat today?”

“Nothing to cause you that.” Agatha pushed her to walk out slowly of the bathroom. “Though, I noticed that you are late.”

“For?” Alexis threw the word out in tiredness.

She slowly spoke, “For your period. It’s been over fifteen days..”

Alexis stilled.
