Chapter 147 - One Hundred And Forty-seven

As he caressed her hair and combed his fingers through it.

She enjoyed the feeling of having him close, it brought her a sense of comfort and security. Alexa sighed and thought of a few things and she was wondering about since she had talked to Julia.

She wanted about the fact give me the strength that Angelo had throughout New York and maybe more did he not know who had kidnapped her or did he not tell her yet?

She understood if it was the second option that he chose. Given her state of mind currently, she would not want anything to do with those people but on the contrary, Alexis wanted to hunt them down. So she would rather have him tell her about it and be done with it. Punishing those people what help her move on and she knew that so why would she delay it any longer?

"Angelo, do you know who kidnapped me?" She asked in a soft voice as it was just the two of them in the room.

She felt him stiffen against her thought nothing of it. Maybe he was just scared of what her reaction would be.

Quite the opposite of that was happening in his mind.

"I do know who they were," he admitted. "And I will take your revenge." He vowed. "I will make sure of it."

Alexis got up and sat next to him on the couch so that they were facing each other. "why would you take my revenge for me? Should I not do that?"

Angelo understood where she was coming from, he did. But that was not the point Alexis would kill everyone involved in a and he could not afford to lose any members of his organisation then he has to establish a new base in another state from the very beginning. He needed his top people now more than ever and he was not losing any to his wife. Everyone would know that his wife killed people in an organisation and people would never know why she gutted them would ultimately make her the bad Person and make her lose respect in the eyes of others.

"I understand that my love, I do." She tried to calm her down. "but why now I want you to focus on your recovery more or and not on taking revenge."

"But that would help me!" She argued with a pained face. "I want to them either in jail or be killed in front of me that is what I want them to be!"

Angelo used to talk in a gentle tone. "Honey I want you to be moving forward not thinking about what happened in the past. You do know that past should be left in the past it's not going to get you any benefit in the future."

Alexis immediately realises what he had done. He had used her words against her in this argument. She had always said to leave the past where it was and now that she wanted to talk about it I just spend those words on her.

"That's not fair.," she argued in a low tone. "You are just putting where I said in a past in front of me now. That is hardly fair."

"That is because you said it. You have said that to me on numerous occasions which means that you learnt to keep the past and past so why are you trying to bring up now?"

Alexis felt cornered. She felt that he was trying to restrain her into a corner. "The past should be in the past as I said that because that is true and because I made my peace with that passed but I have not this one. This one makes me cry from the inside what happened to me and I wanted to have myself justified." Her voice was breaking in the between and she felt that she would let go anytime soon and damn of tears would break.

"Honey.."

"Now you tell me who did that!" She firmly family stood her ground. "you told me that you would support me in the image stand by my side in this recovery."  now she used his words against him. "And I want you to do that I want you to stand by me and help me recover. Help me in wearing the past I want because I want to do it with you."

Either her words knew what they were doing or she was wanted his help. Either way, it was Angela had to agree and he knew that. His wife had asked him to do something twice for her and was about time he said yes.

"Alright," he agreed. "But that is not coming now."

"What?" She immediately blinked. "But you just sai-"

"I know what I said." He pointed out. "And now I'm saying this as well. That will happen when I think the time is right. When you are ready to see them again."

She scoffed at that. "when will I ever be ready to see those people who tortured me half to death?"

"When I will know it." Was all he said with a small smile. "I want to recover is not easy and sure as hell have not short. So you have to hand tight."

She leaned her side against the couch with a tired expression on her face. "how do you expect me to hand tight when everything is coming from my fingers?"

"Oh love," he kissed her forehead. "That is just how shitty life can be." He teased a little before pulling her into a soft kiss. He makes sure than he was straining her or anything. He had to make sure that she did recover from the mental trauma. 

"Hm," she forced a sigh and then smiled at him. "I am going to change it. Put on some silk pyjamas." She patted his shoulder and then got up. 

Hearing that he immediately got up and walked behind her. "Ooh, want me to help?"
