His face which had been as blank as a newly bought canvas immediately had splashes of along appear on it and the colour red was the primary one."The fuck did you just day?" He seethed. His jaw was locked so hard that she could imagine his teeth shattering any moment now. His face was red. Even with the naturally tanned skin of his, she could see it coming up to the surface.

"Yes," she continued. "Why? I can't have a child?" She taunted.

"Alexis." He warned. "Stop."

And she did.

She had learned enough to know that at times, even though-provoking him was fun, he had his limits. Given the life he lived not many could taunt him and live with it, she did but that didn't mean she was going to get away with it.

Certain limits were not meant to be crossed. Pushed, yes but not crossed.

"That's how I feel." She spoke in a soft voice as she pointed out to him. "That feeling of anger and betrayal is what is running through my mind." 

She walked closer to him and cupped his face with both of her hands. "Concentrate on what is going on in your mind. You have no problem in adopting my children but what is hurting you the most is that you did not know about it." She lightly grazed her thumb over his nose. "That is exactly how I feel. we never had a good start and we are having problems in between and then comes this problem how do you ever expect us to work out?" 

"We will work out." He said but Alexis felt as if his mind was in a trance. "We have to." The emotions that she had once seen coming to his face and eyes had all vanished. As it did not exist anymore. 

"We can't." She shook her head. "There are too many problems in a marriage that is just seven months old. Too many problems in such a less amount of time." 

He nodded, unfazed. "We will get through this. I know we will, we are strong enough." He then shoved his hands into his pockets and talked with a blank face. 

More blank than normal. 

Alexis shook her head negative and then sighed. "Not for me, we cannot. Too much has happened for me to even want to continue this relationship."

"Boss!" A man ran in, giving Alexis a jump of fright and making Angelo glare into his direction. 

"Adriano has been kidnapped! We do not know where he is!" 

Under touch, Alexis could feel him immediately Stiffen on the information. He had immediately gone into his mob boss mode as she watches his expression grow stoic and cold.

He nodded towards the man was dismissing him immediately and then looked at his wife. 

"I have to go. We will continue this later." Bending down to her he kissed her forehead and sad, "we will talk about this later. Rest well." 

Everything happened in a hurry as Angelo step out and closed the door guards came in and stepped beside her. 

Even the Alexis was a civilian she understood that this was an emergency and that the guards have been sent to protect her. 

Liam came in next and informed her, "madam Nikita is coming in a few minutes." 

She nodded and took a seat, waiting for the arrival which did not take long. 

Nikita looked as if she had hurried as well. Her hair was usually tied together but now seemed as if she had continuously run her hands to them and when Nikita asked if she knew anything, Alexis denied. 

She knew only a little but that would not suffice so she thought it was better to keep quiet. 

They had dinner together and then Alexis moved up. Nikita had taken residence in a guest room right next to her room. 

Alexis stood watching the cars drive by from the window. 

Angelo was in a trance as he talked about them working out. He was like a broken record repeating the same thing over and over again. It was as if he had nothing more to say. That it was it for him. 

How strange was that? 

Angelo, who had one of the most difficult jobs and was one of the most powerful men she had ever seen was talking like a broken record as if it had been installed into him. 

But then Alexis remembered something and maybe it could be responsible for the condition that Angelo had today. 

But there was something that troubled her even more. There were only two people who could tell her about it; one she did not have great contact our familiarity with and second, she did not want to lose because of her questioning. 

But she had to ask. His words were still running in her mind as he kept on saying the same words that they had to work out, that they would work out. 

Everything seems so difficult right now, not only difficult but ominous as well. Was she worried over nothing?

Nikita was here today and she did not want her to hear any of the conversations that Alexis was going to have. 

So very discreetly Alexis opens her door and moved to Nikita room. First, she leaned in her ear against the door and heard for any sounds or movements. 

She had nothing. 

then she moved to open the door and her eyes scanned the area for the women who appeared to be on the bed sleeping in the night away. 

Without disturbing her all possibly breaking her up she closed the door very carefully and then moved away and back to her room. 

Taking hold of a phone she could not help but think over once more. 

Was she right in doing this? 

Maybe there was nothing to worry about...

Shaking her head of those socks she failed the number and brought it to her ear. 

It was about time that she got the answer that she deserved.
