Chapter 185 - One Hundred And Eighty-five

When she woke up, the sheets next to her had not been ruffled meaning he had not come home last night. She sighed, she had not expected that. 

Alexis had somewhat expected him to come in after she had had an hour-long call. She had expected him to make it at least by the early hours of the morning.

But when she looked towards her side it was clear that he had not.

She got freshened up for the day and then walked down as she remembered that she had someone in the house who could provide her with a good company.

"Morning," she wished Nikita and received one back.

they have their breakfast together and meet small talks about things especially their restaurant. The beloved restaurant at the had to leave behind.

Alexis had also chosen to take one step for as she was not sure if Angelo had really chosen to share information with her or he had simply fabricated it.

Fishing out the picture of the woman that he had a child with, she sent it to Blake and remembered to tell him she wanted the information by the end of the day but Blake reassured her that since it was just one person to find and reassured her that he would not have any troubles and it would be sent to her within hours.

And all she could do was.

***********

"It's the afternoon and they still are not home." Nikita sighed as she talked with Alexis. "he has never been gone for so long and if he has then always called."

Nikita slightly dependent behaviour and clinginess made Alexis cringe a bit.

"He might soon." She offered. She wanted to slap herself thinking that she could ever be so cringing.

Her phone pinged and she immediately reached for it earning an odd look from Nikita that she brushed off.

It was a PDF file with Cassidy Smith written on it. 

Cassidy Smith. She had never heard of the name before. 

She was an average student or barely average student whose entire report card was based on just passing marks. Alexis shook her head at that of course she was the one to not work hard and take this easy way. 

Figured. 

She then looked at her parents. Both who had hardworking jobs and were now in retirement. They had apparently no idea who the father of the child was and Blake had not relayed the information down as well. 

That meant Angelo was right. He was keeping this whole ordeal wrapped up and no one knew about it. 

Her finger scrolled through the information but immediately came to a halt when she read the address. 

Alexis looked at Nikita who was watching the TV beside her. If she was here then surely she could leave. 

She got up and changed and then board out of the house only to be stopped by Liam. 

"I was not aware that you were supposed to go out today, Madam." 

Alexis smiled at his carefully chosen words. Out of all the men that she had been introduced to including her husband, she found Liam to be a genuine man regardless of his profession.  

"To be honest I was not aware of it as well." She laughed it off but he did not follow so she asked him instead, "is it the emergency from last night? Has it not been solved yet?"

He shook he head, "it has. Adriano was found safe and sound but it is still not advisable for you to go out without any protection." 

She looked away with a sharp intake of breath. She had to. The sooner she knew everything about the child the better she would feel. Alexis had a feeling that after her talk, Angelo surely would not allow her to divorce over such an issue so she will have to somehow accept the child. Which she would have preferred to happen gradually but she showed that he would not tell her everything ever. 

"I need to go to Liam." She pleaded. "It's still the daylight and I think that we can spare an hour or two for this." 

He looked torn but he had no authority here since he had not been given any direct instructions from the boss himself. 

"Where ever the address is I can just take you for an hour." He then further explained. "Both the journey to and from would-be counted within that." 

"Yes! Done!" She squealed. "I have no problem with that. Oh, Liam and so happy that I could hug you right now!" 

His face twisted into an ugly expression. "I I would suggest that you refrain from it. For both mine and your sake." 

Nodding she sat inside the car and was given away to the destination that she provided. 

her door was opened by the God standing near it and she soon by the left it reached the apartment of Cassidy Smith. 

She rang the bell and waited.

Suddenly conscious of what she was wearing she gave her self a look and dusted off her clothes. she knew that she was dressed well but she did not want to come off as a woman did not want a stepson in her life. 

She had no problems with accepting a baby. 

Cassidy came to the door and opened it. "Ye-Its you." She said as her mouth hung open. 

"Yes, it's me." Alexis confidently replied and rebuked back at the woman. "And I would also suggest you to close that mouth." There was an underlying meaning in her words. 

Cassidy immediately closed her mouth but still looked lost on what to do. 

Alexis gave an exaggerated sigh and pointed her direction forward, "Now is the time when you invite me inside."  What a woman this one who did not know how to receive guests. 

Cassidy nodded muttering yes over and over again. She moved aside and Alexis stepped inside the well-decorated apartment.

Entering the first thing she saw was her husband's son.
