Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 286

She woke up in the morning and got her children ready. They were being homeschooled till they went back to the academy. She had served them today too and this time Gabrielle had joined them too, in his night suit but it was a start.

Angelo had not joined them.

But that did not affect Alexis as she had let go of all of her expectations last night. What shocked her the most was Gabrielle did not ask about his son’s absence from the dining table.

Angelo came with a sobered up expression and dressed in a buttoned-up shirt and his slacks. Anyone could tell that he just woke up.

The maid served him and the children talked wildly. Bella Rosa had the attention of everyone.

Angelo moved forward and grabbed her left hand. “That’s not your ring. The ring I have you, why are you not wearing it?” His eyes hardened and Alexis tried her very best to control her anger in front of her

children.

“I don’t think she has a reason too.” Gabrielle held his son’s stare, “I assume when she finds a good reason and not a blond one she will wear the emerald ring again.”

She was wearing a sapphire.

So Gabrielle knew what had happened last night in this house but what matters the most was heated Alexis side on the matter and stood up for her with her.

Alexis, in her stand, took her hand from his and continued to eat silently agreeing with Gabrielle.

He did not continue the conversation after that and if Alexis wanted to take a chance to make an assumption she could say that Angelo was guilty of what had happened.

After breakfast, Gabrielle and Alexis were out in the gardens watching the children play among themselves.

Fear of death had left them knowing that one could die any time.

Gabrielle was talking to her. “I apologize child. It is my fault for not taking care of my family properly. What his grandfather taught in Angelo’s mind is still there, in a dark corner and makes its appearance is when Angelo is at his lowest.” He shook his head watching the children, “I know that it is not an excuse but it is all I can offer you except an apology.”

“It’s alright. I understand.” A thought came to her mind and she took the chance for it. “Gabrielle, what have you thought of doing with your time now?”

His notes furrowed and to her, he appeared to be thinking about it quite hard but in the end, he shrugged. “I have no idea. I had always known that I could die at any time of the day and not meet my wife again but losing Isabelle is losing My life’s purpose because I have nothing to do now.”

She bit her lip before saying, “How about you start training Salvatore?”

Gabrielle looked visibility taken aback by that. Surely he had not expected anything like that from her.

“What?”

She sighed and boldly spoke, “Angelo, it seems as if at times values his grandfather’s thoughts and teachings more than your rules which I don’t really agree with and so do you.” He nodded to that. “So I was thinking that it would be better if you embedded your teachings, thoughts and values into my son. Let him have a bit of moral in him as well in the life that he lives in.”

He looked ahead, thinking about it and Alexis did too. Salvatore was a pure-hearted boy what he felt and she appreciated that about him at such arrange. If anything Alexis never wanted him to become like his father.

People had a dark mind but she never agreed with what Angela did most of the time which is why she had decided to let Gabrielle take the reins regarding her youngest boy who was most likely to take over.

Lucas couldn’t because he was illegitimate and for the other, an adopted child.

“Alright,” Gabrielle agreed. “I will talk to Angelo and take over when Salvatore comes of age.”

She thanked him for that.

*******

Her wedding ring was tucked away safely in a safe which was in front of her. By his behaviour, she knew that Alexis could not file for a divorce but until then she was not going to acknowledge their marriage and just think of them as a couple who was co-parenting three children.

A knock came on her door and she asked them to come in.

The knob turned and Angelo came in.

“You saw.” Was the first thing he said.

She wanted to laugh at his face but she knew better than to get him any kind of reaction. “What did I see?”

“Last night.” He stated and she wanted to slap him for that.

She shook her head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

He tsked irritatedly and looked away before saying, “You saw me fuck her!”

“Ah, yes, that I did.” She agreed as if remembering it all of a sudden, “and not forgetting to mention your father and I saw her leave in the morning as well.”

He didn’t reply after that and continued to take off her make up.

“I’m sorry.” He whispered, “I was just—”

“Do not take advantage of your mother’s death in this situation! When you were grieving and crying I understood but when you threw me out I drew a line and then you go out and bring someone out and then. . . . On our marriage bed you fuck her,” she glared at him, “do not expect a sorry to fix it.”

He stepped forward and kept something in front of her. “These are my blood test reports—”

She hurriedly stood up and stepped away from him, looking at him disgusted. “If you have a sexual disease, stay the fuck away from me.”

He glared back. “I was drugged, Alexis. Drugged!”

She laughed at his face for that. “Your dick did a fine job, Angelo! Now if that woman comes here claiming that she has a child, that it is yours do not expect me to adopt him wholeheartedly or at all!” She pointed to the door, “Now you get the fuck out!”
