Chapter 163 - One Hundred And Sixty-three

She sprinted towards the stairs immediately as she heard the wretched wail. If she was dying tonight then so was Angelo. They were wife and husband till death.

And death was after her, so it would be understandable if Alexis took him with her too.

She climbed up the stairs with as much speed as her jelly legs could muster. They were on the verge of breaking apart. Yet, she kept going, she had too, otherwise...

She did not want to think about that.

The door to his office came in her line of sight and she sprinted faster. Her hair flew in behind her as she ran with speed and bounced on her back, her thighs ached with such pain that she did not even experience on her period.

She did not stop as the door came in the view, rather she banged into it and door opened with the sudden force of her body colliding with it.

As it opened on the sudden impact she fell face forwards without having any thoughts of bracing herself. Her body hit the cold hardwood floors and she cried out in pain. Footsteps were heard coming closer and she knew that he was coming to her.

"Angelo.." she whimpered in calling him to her. Her whole body ached and she could not even move an inch.

"Alexis?!" He twisted her body up and faced her towards him. "Honey, what-what happened?"

His face gave away the worries and shock he felt as she barged in. He had almost taken his gun out and was about to shoot the person dead when he saw that it was his wife and she was falling on the floor.

"There's someone.." she started to talk but choked on her tears. "There is someone there! Angelo please!" She pointed towards the door and continued to chant. "Please! I don't know who! But help!" She cried and didn't stop talking. She was scared out of her mind.

"What's happening?" Gabrielle's voice made Alexis turn to him. "What's there?" He crouched down next to Alexis and Angelo. She wondered when he had come as she had not noticed him come in. What was happening? Was it even real or just a nightmare?

"A ghost.." she confessed but changed her mind. "I don't know. but there is someone." She cried shaking her head.

Angelo was furious. Someone had made his wife cry and they were sure as the seven fucking hells paying for it and the payment was going to be rather unforgettable for everyone and a lesson for many to come.

"Come on love," he picked his wife up in his arms and carried her over to his chair making her sit in it. In this situation, the thing that he needed most was patience.

If he panicked here then everything would go downhill so he had to take every step with a calm mind.

"Angelo.." she immediately whimpered as his touch left her. It was the only comfort available for her. "..Please.."

"Sh, let me deal with it." He didn't let her hold him. Instead, he pulled apart without any remorse. He would make up later but for that, she and he would have to be alive.

He opened the drawer and took his gun out. Pointing it towards the door, he waited and thought of a quick plan.

"Boy, what are doing?" Gabrielle asked as he stepped towards the couple. "Put the gun down!"

Angelo glared at his father and spoke, "Are you out of your damn mind? Someone is out there threatening my wife and god forbid if I ever let that person live!"

That made Alexis blush a bit.

"Boy.." his father pinched his nose. "Put the damn thing down. You don't know what is happening!" He tried to explain but didn't know where to begin from.

"The fucking hell is—"

"Angelo!" Alexis suddenly cried from next to him or behind him. He was shifted her stand behind. "Look! It's like valak!" She gave her heart-wrenching cry making his blood boil. 

He looked towards the door and immediately frowned in shock. A figure in black stood and ghastly pale it looked, making him wonder about life because it sure looked like death. 

The horrifying teeth and the sharp, pointed nails which looked rotten and the red-blooded eyes with black pupils. 

He did not have to think. Holding Alexis who was standing as still as a statue next to him, he threw her on the floor behind him and aimed for a shot.

"Angelo! No!" His father immediately came in between, seconds away from stopping him from shooting. 

Angelo, Outrageous at this, was ready to bark when his father turned to the alien. 

"Honey," Gabrielle's tone softened but was still firm. "Stop this, you are scaring our kids." 

Alexis gasped. She knew that Angelo was too cruel to be a human but an Alien? 

And she had sex with him! A few times were without protection too. Nothing to her made sense anymore.

As the realisations were going on in her mind with recounting the incidences of him being out of the world, Angelo fought in the front. 

"Your lover I might not be aware of?" He taunted with a highly aggressive tone to his father's conversation. 

"Oh hush." Came a soft voice from the horrendous creature making Alexis look at it while standing on her knees, still behind Angelo and clutching his pants and skin underneath it. 

Its hands rose to make Angelo aim at it in alarm and Gabrielle throwing him a warning glance while coming in between. 

Its hands were searching something around its necks and then pulled...her face off? The tearing noise was cringing. 

"Happy Halloween!" Greeted his mother with a huge smile and Gabrielle turned to them with a guilty smile making them know that he was a part in it too. "Happy Halloween to my babies. How was my surprise?" Looking down at Alexis she winked, "Scared you, didn't I?" She teased but that made Alexis's stance stumble and fell to the ground with a gut-twisting expression while silently sobbing. It pained his heart to see her like this. 

He turned to his mother.. Raising his gun, he aimed and took a shot.
