Chapter 175 - One Hundred And Seventy-five

She had discreetly clicked a photo of that woman. if she was up against someone for a fight and she was going to make sure that she knew everything about them. Every quality that they had and every liability that they could possess.

Anything and everything that could be used against them, she would make sure to know of it.

She sent the picture of her to Blake and asked him to get everything that he possibly could about her by the end of the night.

Dinner was over and the guests were leaving. She stood at the entrance with the whole family as they waved goodbye to the guests. She often found Angelo looking at her but she did not even spare him a glance and looked away immediately. She did not bother to hold his stare and tell him that she was still angry because it was obvious that she was.

A child? He had hidden a child from her and the entire world. She was shocked to know if he said that he was ashamed of this instead of being the man with balls and owning it.

She entered the house and closed the door with a bang right on his face. In the car, as they drove to the home, she had earlier texted Agatha to set her things for a night in the guest room. So she directly made her way up there and completely disregarded route to his room.

As she I entered her room for the night, she began to take off her makeup attend not even turn around when he entered the room with the furious expression.

"I thought that we were going to talk." He grunted out.

"Well, you thought right."

"Then why in the hell are you running away?" He threw his hands up as he asked that.

"Why do you think I am?" She asked and then shrugged. "even if I ran, you found me here. So the end of the story."

He sighed and looked at the room. "Are you staying here tonight?"

She nodded as she took off her jewellery.

"Why?"

Alexis scoffed at that question. "Because right now if I see that lying, cheating face of yours, I am sure I would suffocate you to death in your sleep." She smiled.

Making a serious face full of concern on that what she said, he spoke in a grave voice, "are you, ok sweetheart? These murderous thoughts are not okay."

She laughed and scoffed simultaneously at that. Look at that, the man was trying to distract her by using the past. Now that she wondered about it, how many times were there that he had conveniently used her thoughts against her and changed the situation.

"Don't you dare!" She warned him, glaring at him. "Don't ever use that manipulation on me!"

He raised an eyebrow at that. "So all of a sudden my concerns are manipulations?"

She rebuked back immediately, "have your concerns ever not been manipulations?"

"I can assure you that they have not. I do care for you."

She swallowed and smiled a little. "I would have believed every word you said, until I came to know about the child you have hidden." She looked away and sighed harshly. "there is a certain limit to everyone and you crossed my mind. Have you ever thought of the consequences when I would have come to know about the child?"

She waited for his reply to the question but he did not. He Instead stayed silent.

"Oh you had just hoped that never come to know at all.." she muttered looking away. "So what now I going to tell me anything or do I have to dig in deep?"

"You don't." He took off his jacket and sat down on the sofa. "I don't know where to start."

She rolled her eyes. "how convenient it is to say that. Start from the very beginning of course."

"Well, I met her, banged her and bam, the baby happened. I had the paternity checked and everything and he still came out to be mine." He shrugged. "still cannot accept the fact that I have a choice so I never told anyone about it but I am providing the child support."

'How generous of you,' she rolled her eyes. "If you can accept the fact that you have a child why are you providing them the child support?"

"I just am. And now that I think about it I am doing so without any reason." He shrugged.

"Without any reason?" She laughed. "You just said that he is your child!"

"The fuck do you want me to do about it?" He yelled in frustration, no longer being able to control himself. "Just tell me what to do you want!"

She threw her hands up in frustration and yelled back at him. "What do you think I want? Huh?! I wanted to know about this before the fucking marriage which of course I was forced in and I wanted the truth then but no! You have never told me anything about you and here I am laid out bare in front of you! Have ever considered to tell me anything about yourself!" 

"Have you ever asked?" He retorted back. "If you had asked me perhaps I would have answered." 

"Yo- Wha- I.." she stammered a bit as he threw the blame on her. She blinked and looked away and then at the ceiling. She ran her hand on her bare face and breathe in and out. 

What the hell was that supposed to me? How can he say something so stupid in nature? Ask and tell? 

You could of people that the deepest, darkest secret and they will tell you that. 

"Ask and tell really?" She yelled as anger and frustration surged through her now. Everything came at her once and she could not believe it. 

She stepped closer to him with her hands on her waist and body said, "So if I asked, who kidnapped me, what would you say?"
