Infatuation Of Darkness - Chapter 300

She paced around the room, rubbing her hands together as she waited for the man with something every important coming in. Ivan had called her about it and said that he would have it delivered to her by the hand of his parents or siblings since after touching that file he could not be seen near Alexis or anyone belonging to the organisation.

Anticipation, nervousness and anxiety with the prominent emotions she felt along with a bit of fear that the file might never reach her for that he was found out.

She was constantly sighing as she waited for the man.

Normally Alexis would have been least interested in any such processes or exchange but this time If Angel went to jail there could be a huge change in the organisation and it could also lead to her children’s lives in danger.

The fact that Julia had given the file to the CIA along with that she had killed Isabelle was enough reason for Alexis to involve herself in this. She had no wishes to kill Julia herself but she was going to make sure that old and psychic woman was going to get punished.

And that made Alexis wonder even further that what happened to Julia for her to go completely psychotic and off the rails?

She sighed and aggressively ran her hands through her hair. The wait for killing her. Yet, she had to wait patiently. Any calls now made could be used against her.

“Ma’am?” Nadine came in, “Have you looked over the new case? Do you think that we should settle?”

That could be a nice distraction.

“Is the victim out there?” Alexis asked Nadine who nodded. “Then have her come in.”

Nadine disappeared behind the doors and came with a new woman.

“Hi,” she held her hand out, “I’m Rachel.”

“Rachel, I’m Alexis. Have a seat.” She pointed to the ones in front of her desk.

Taking her own seat behind the desk Alexis’s leaned back into the chair and asked Rachel everything about the case that she knew.

“I have read your file and I have read about the previous case that you had and where you trusted to forgive him because of children.”

Rachel nodded. “Yes, I just did it because as you read it, I had children and I did not want him to be in jail . . . It just won’t have worked out for us. . ”

Aleix tilted her head a bit, “But how is it you have chosen to forgive him again when he hits you in front of the children? The very ones that are going to have the same values imprinted on them.”

“That’s why I am having a divorce and making sure that my husband goes to rehab.” Said Rachel with a sincere expression. “I have always believed are there is a reason why a person accesses certain way. When I feel for my husband he was just as running a normal, handsome, confident and loving but then the police fired him and he was not able to get a job anywhere from which everything went downhill.” Alexis passed the woman a tissue who took one and continued, “In the world, people change and especially men for their incapability to provide for the families which he was being. It took to his head and the next thing you know is taking out his frustrations on us.”

“Then came the alcohol and the drugs and the beatings.”

However, Alexis did not agree. “I do not understand and I don’t believe that. How is it at social pressures affect the mentality so much? And doesn’t a person have his reasoning?”

“If men did, I believe we would have avoided a lot of wars,” Rachel answered. “The social pressures that you talked of are the ones that usually put people in depression and that is not something to joke about just because you do not understand that. As for his reasoning,” she sighed, “What can I say . . ”

Alexis thought about her own situation. What drove Angelo to be like that? His grandparents and their manipulations? But those should have been erased years ago by the effects of his parents.

So what was it?

Surely Nickolas won’t have torched the child to that extent for him to never forget.

Male pride? Or the position he had?

But to be honest, when Donna responsibilities from Isabelle had been placed on her shoulders she knew they could have crushed her which is why Isabelle never gave her everything.

“Don’t you think of revenge?” The question had been on Alexis’s mind various times a day for the past two weeks after she had unravelled the secrets that Angelo possessed. “Like something inside you that is asking you to take revenge? To avenge yourself?”

Rachel smiled tearfully. They weren’t there before as much as now and she didn’t bother to hid or wipe them away. “Every single day. Every minute shen I thought of this case I wanted to strangle him. I would never understand how hitting someone makes them feel superior.”

Alexis chimed in too, “That how hitting becomes the solution.”

Rachel chuckled, “I suppose in the past few years you have had your lot of cases to know these things.”

Alexis smiled but didn’t reveal the truth.

She asked instead, “What if he Sobers up and pulls himself back together but one day he does the same thing that he did today? What would you do then?”

Rachel sighed and thought about it. She was in a similar situation as Rachel who was married to a man of power. Even though he had been fired he still had the connection to the police station enough to make her life hell.

“I didn’t know.” She shrugged at the end. “I haven’t reached that far. It seems to be so difficult now that I cannot even say what would happen when he did sober up and one day just happens to repeat his mistakes.”

“Won’t you want revenge then?” The words came out of Alexis’s mouth before she realised it.

Rachel nodded in all seriousness as her face hardened.. “I am not joking but he will never see the daylight again.”
