Chapter 149 - One Hundred And Forty-nine

She closed the jewellery box after wearing the pearl necklace. She loved this one in particular. Standing up, she gave herself an overall look in the mirror and walked out of the closet after. As she walked out, she noticed how most of the space were empty.

They were shifting and she smiled at the change coming in. She had welcomed it with open arms.

After she had hinted Angelo that she was ready for the shift, he had immediately hugged her making her happy about her decision. She could start anew and the possibility brought a smile on her face. She could do it.

"Ready?" He asked, smiling at his wife as she came out full and well dressed.

"Yes." She answered. "Are we leaving now?" It was around eleven in the morning and they were yet to leave. Also, they had not had any breakfast yet, so Alexis had not had any of her medicine too.

"Not yet, first, we will have breakfast and then around one o'clock we will board a flight and then by 4 will reach your destination." He answered while running his finger on her face.

She nodded readily for breakfast and already feeling hungry. in the hospital, Alexis had eaten bland food which had seriously deprived her taste buds of anything tasteful so now as she was back at her own house she had Agatha to give her some extra spiced food.

She was served with crispy bacon and pancakes. However, she could not decide what she wanted to have first so she was taking alternate bites of the two making Angelo smile.

The rest of the time at their house had been a blur. She checked if everything had been packed with Agatha and then moved the driveway where Angelo was waiting for her. 

The drive was smooth, not much of traffic given it was the middle of the day. Angelo had not used is a private jet and she thought that was nice given that it was just two of them and they could travel fine in a commercial plane for 3 hours.

In the first class, of course, she shook her head. even though the man toned down a bit he still had to show his extravagance.

Alexis felt some uneasiness in her chest. She tried to rub it there was something that was tightening or some kind of weight placed on her chest. she breathed in and out but there was nothing that she could do as it was just continuously making its presence known.

What was it? Why was it there? She was making a new start for herself then why was there this feeling that something unknown was going to happen?

"This is of no use to me," she grumbled looking out fo the window.

"What now?" He muttered glancing at and then again closing in his eyes. Angela was in a complete resting mode, he even had a neck pillow with him for this.

"Everyone is drinking alcohol and I cannot because I am on antibiotics." She explains hastily. A little aggrieved that he did not even notice this.

He smiled a little and then said, "and I am supporting you in this by not drinking."

"Hah!" She scoffed. "You think I don't know that in the paper cup is vodka?" She accused, "the hell are you supporting me for? At least do it properly."

He sighed. Angelo if anything did not love the cranky Alexis. all she had done was complaint after the moment she boarded the flight and he did not like it in the slightest.

"What is wrong with you?" He turned to her and asked the question, no longer being able to take all of this from her. Her apparent crankiness calling to him was there for no reason because she had not encountered any discomfort.

"What's wrong with me?!" She looked appalled as she just repeated what he just said. "I got tortured and violated and here I am, moving to another state like everything is normal. Do you think that it is easy for me, that this or anything is easy for me?"

"Keep your voice down!" He warned in a hiss. "I never send that this is going to be easy and I told you that the first day itself. Your recovery is going to be the most difficult thing that you ever do and if you don't say it is going to feel more cranky and cranky day by day. You need to tell me what you are feeling for me to help you." He calmly talked to her. Being angry with her right now would not work in anyone's favour so instead, he changed his approach.

He could only wish that after dealing with this woman he would have some amount of patience left for his children too.

Alexis closed her eyes and thought of it. Should she tell him what she was exactly feeling? It sounds ridiculous to him that day was just one feeling that she felt and because of it she was ruining his flight as well.

"Nothing, it's nothing." She denied and looked out of the window again.

He took a hold of her hand and squeezed it a little. "Tell me, Alexis, it will help you more."

She hesitated a bit, shaking her head around not wanting to talk. "It is. I just felt uneasy and I don't know why I got cranky because of it." The explanation of her was very poor and she knew that. But somewhere it was the truth as she did not know why she felt so uneasy and maybe that was the reason behind her crankiness.

"Alright," he relented. "We have to start your therapy sessions as soon as we settle in Chicago." He stated. "And no matter what you do to convince me, it's a matter of time when we have to start your therapy and the sooner it is the better result will be."

Alexis looked away from her husband.

Maybe she should just start therapy to get it over with.
