Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 279

She had dressed up and dropped the children at the school. Now, she was on the way to get her husband out of jail if he had not already. Liam opened her door and she stepped out. The media was there yet her security made her way secured.

She entered took off her glasses and her line of sight caught a man coming towards her with a mocking smile on his face.

“Mrs Alessandro,” he nodded in her direction, “Would you like some tea or coffee?”

Holding his stare, she muttered, “I didn’t know your offices had started cafeteria services too.”

He ignored that. “It’s not usual for us to be graced by you and your husband’s presence. So, I thought I would use the opportunity to the fullest.”

She sighed, “Perhaps you should realise about the better opportunities out there.”

“Bu—”

“Now, where is my husband?” She sidestepped him and he did the same. “Stop that.” She spat with her face blank.

“Your husband is there for me now, but I can’t say for later. Well, most probably from a month now he would be in jail.”

“Would he?” She repeated and tilted her head.

“Yes,” he nodded, “and then perhaps so would his whole family which would be including his parents and you. I wonder What would happen to the little children that you have.” That struck a chord. “I think you should do something about it.”

“Pray tell what would that be?” She glared at him and stepped closer. “After all as a mother, I should know what options do I have.”

He smirked. “I didn’t know. Maybe a few flavoured nights with me could help you decide on a few things.”

She scoffed. From Italian d*ck to white? This man was surely crazy.

“Anything else?” She asked in a neutral tone. The man had no idea what was coming to him.

“Yes, after all, money talks too.” He leaned in to whisper that. “I mean come on people like us have a lot of offshore accounts.”

“Alexis.” She looked from his shoulder and saw Angelo coming her way.

“Let’s go.” He said as lawyers walked behind him too. She nodded and they walked out together.

As soon as they stepped out of the building a lawyer to the passenger’s seat and rode with them.

“Here.” she passed him the recorder that she had kept in her coat pocket and he thanked her for it.

“What was that?” Angelo asked as he had eyed their moments.

“Something that’s going to turn the case against him.” That was all Alexis said?

They drove home and Angela went for a shower whereas the lawyers waited for them in the living room.

She didn’t wait for a him titi come out instead she went in and sat on the toilet with the lid down.

“What happened?” She asked again. “The last thing that I was told by you was at the warehouse had been raided by the CIA. What happened after that and more specifically how did you end up in jail?!”

He had bowed his head as the shower poured water on his head. “Is it necessary for you to know?”

Normally Alexis would have thought twice before throwing this in his face but in the recent five years, she had grown to be more daring. “Yes, and you should have known that before you married me or dragged me into this life.”

“Now is not the time,” he sighed.

She scoffed loudly, “This is the time. Angelo, I would appreciate that if the father of my children does not go to jail while I am raising them over here! if I wanted that then I would have married A junk instead and every Sunday I would have gone to meet him there for an hour or two.” Her chest heaved up and down from her rant but her glare continued.

“We have married and if you have gone to jail then I won’t have minded it but now that we have three children together you better think twice before making any decision that would cost you your life.”

“If someone had a conversation then they would think that you care for me.” Said he.

She sighed and leaned against the wall. Did she? She had grown attached to him but love?

“I am leaving and I will be waiting with your lawyers in your office.” She stood up and left leaving him alone in the silent bathroom.

*****

They were having coffee and when he entered fully dressed and freshened up. He looked normal, his emotionless self but Alexis knew that he was angry inside.

A raging beast, he was.

He took his seat behind the table and she sat on the couch in his study. “What happened?”

The older lawyer, William, began speaking, “Apparently they found an anonymous tip regarding the warehouse. there were coordinates of at on the paper and that’s it.”

“Just the coordinates?” Silvano repeated who had later joined them as Angelo showered.

William nodded. “Yes, the sheet of paper just had the coordinates. they refused to show us the files of we do not know the exact contents of it.”

That was bad. If they refused to show it then that was bad.

Angelo glanced at her and their eyes met, both of them had realised the gravity of the situation.

“What your next move?” Alexis asked the man who answered it.

“Turn the case against him front be evidence you provided. The warehouse was not in his name which has provided us with enough defence and we have a lot of dirt on the man.” He sighed and looked at the Don, “It’s an easy slope for now.”

Angelo nodded. “Take care of it and keep me updated.”

They all nodded and piled out of the room. Silvano left too after all he had a pregnant wife at home.

“I didn’t understand,” Angelo stood up and walked to where she was on the couch, “Why would someone dot hat when they clearly would know that I can’t be thrown into jail that easily.” He stared at her and she stared back thinking about it.

“Maybe,” since the possibility was there, “They didn’t want you to?”

He stared at her before leaning down with his hand kept on the back of the couch that she sat on.. “Why would you do it, Alexis?” He asked her taking her in shock.
