Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 273

The casket was open and people were paying their respects. Alexis and Angelo had already done so and she had even shed a tear or two.

She was never a person who had head crocodile tears but at the moment it came naturally.

“Donna,” The Saintino heir came to her talking in English, broken but she didn’t comment on it, “I am sorry for your loss. It must be hard.”

“Thank you, Don Saintino.” She spoke warmly, a small smile on her face but the expression of grief remained. “Your presence is appreciated.”

He moved forward and someone else came. She had mesmerised their names and the family houses to know what it truly meant.

Mrs Martinez came forward, “Child, that was so unfortunate.” She said sorrowfully and Alexis pulled her in for a hug.

Many had come and gone, the Ricci’s were invited as well which only made her wonder what the results were as last night and you’re had not come to their bedroom. She had fallen asleep without waiting for him as she cared for her health more.

The funeral was held in a church and no expense has been spared. Just like the arrangements this funeral had been no less and royalty.

The priest loudly spoke the prayer as the casket was lowered. The funeral came to an end and Alexis was still crying.

The hormones were responsible.

“Are you alright?” Angelo asked her coming close as the people shifted to Gabrielle to pay their respects.

She nodded. The heaviness was there as she wore heels and the constant gaze of people was there on her.

From the corner of her eye, she saw someone coming in their direction so she left for a glass of water. Taking the bottle she heard the crack of opening and sipped it slowly.

the moment she had ended the crowd everyone had turned into a direction to know as a young bride and a mother to be. The attention she received had immediately and instinctively told her to Palm her belly. It made her feel protected.

“Donna Alessandro,” a woman, someone familiar, stood next to her dressed in black like many others. “I am so sorry for what happened. But the word is out that the wife killed him.”

People will try to pry, put them in their place. Isabelle’s advice for today.

She stepped closer with a hint of a smile and fixed the collar of the woman which was creased from the corner. “You are Tatiana Ricci’s mother, no?” Something flashed in the woman’s eyes and she knew that she was right. “I understand your concern for my family given that your daughter was trying to kill me after being invited to our house.” She stepped closer and stared into the eyes of the woman. “How about stick to minding your own business and I don’t have to make sure that you won’t see your family again?”

Tatiana’s mother nodded, party ashamed of the fact that she knew her daughter had tried to kill the Donna of another family.

“A reminder,” Alexis stepped back and the woman looked at her with slight fear. War was on the doorstep. “Be careful,” Alexis whispered and walked away.

The funeral was going to be over in a few minutes and the people were leaving already. The casket was buried deep inside the earth.

*********

She watched from afar. The casket that held the man that she was married to for fifty years of her life being lowered into the ground as the priest sang his prayers blessing him for the last time.

The tortures he had carried out his entire life on her made her want to strangle the priest for trying to bless him in the afterlife when Nicholas only deserved punishments.

She smirked as she saw Alexis slipping a tear or two and wiping. “Your time will come.” She sang her words making the person next to look at her.

She stepped back and moved away from the crowd. “Don’t worry my children. I will make sure that you know what I can do.” She giggled as she walked to the hideout.

*********

After the funeral was over, Angelo had not taken them home, instead oto a doctor for her health.

She laid on the bed as the doctor was spreading some gel over her stomach making her shiver at the coldness of it.

“It is your third months, right?” The doctor had spoken in her mother tongue and Alexis did not understand that because of which Angelo had replied to her and then translated the words to his wife.

The doctor nodded and placed the device on her tummy skiing her giggle a bit. The screen then revealed a small creature.

“There your baby..”

Angelo with a bright smile turned to her and said translating the words, “That’s our baby.”

Alexis saw that too. The baby, too small to be held over but just as precious.

“So small…” She mumbled as the hormones took over and her eyes glazed with unshed tears.

“Hmm,” the doctor squinted her eyes at the screen and then mumbled something as she clicks a few buttons. “It appears that you are carrying twins. It’s a common for one child hiding behind the other.”

“Hah!” He laughed and leaned back covering his eyes with a huge smile making Alexis smile too.

There must be some good news.

“What? Tell me?” She pestered holding his sleeve and tugging at it.

He leaned over kissed her hard, sicking her tongue and then said with a huge smile after pulling apart. “I fucked twins into you.” He grinned.

“What?!” She yelled. Two spawns of the devil?!

“Yes,” he laughed in happiness not understanding that she was worried about the future they held. “I always knew that I had it in me.” He grinned with a huge smile that irritated her.

“Twins?” She cried and looked up to the ceiling, “What did I do wrong?!” She cried to the lord above.

She observed her slightly purging belly that was now showing in the mirror after havingf dinner. Twins, she smiled, she was carrying twins inside her and maybe the daughter that she had once lost she could love again.

“Hey,” she smiled as the strong arms of her husband wrapped around her. “You look beautiful.”

She chuckled at that. “I was not admiring my beauty I was observing that I am showing now.”

He palmed her belly and nodded at the curve. “You are.” He pulled her gently to the bed as the night has fallen.

“Come on take off your clothes.” He started to take in his shirt as she stared at him in horror.

“What?” Maybe she had not heard him correctly.

He raised his eyebrow as he repeated, “Take your clothes off. I want to feel them and be there as much as I can.”

“And me taking off my clothes would do that?” She scoffed, “Yeah no—Angelo!” She looked away when he stood tall and naked proudly.

“Don’t look away. This got you pregnant.” He pointed at his dick. “Come on, I want to feel them.”

She sighed and did and when they laid down next to each other, it felt completely different.

Together she felt, with the only family that mattered.

“Alexis,” he kissed her hair as he spoke but she was not on the verge of sleeping. “I am going to be the best husband and father to you. I promise you that. You, my queen, would rule my kingdom and me among with our children.” He pecked her lips and sealed their promise forever.

Her eyes reopened at that. Angelo wasn’t aware as he had closed his own.

The children, they would have a sane mommy too, she vowed, someone who would not be me but myself from an year ago.

She palmed her belly and sighed, ‘you two are going to be the reason for me living my life once more.. And this time, it would be for me.’
