Chapter 192 - One Hundred And Ninety-two

Thank you for bearing with me. This break actually (kinda) disrupted the flow but I am back! 

**********

She wore an emerald green dress with shoulder pads. It made her feel confident and strong, it was always with the shoulder pads, they seemed to be like her armour. She straightened her back and squared her shoulders, trying her best to be confident and face the imminent doom or meet coming. She had to do it. She had to meet him.

She slipped into the heels and caught hold on her clutch, looked at herself in the mirror and have herself a good check. It had to be perfect. At least from her side.

She walked out of the room and then her house. This time she had specifically told Agatha to not come along with her and only Liam tagged along with a handful of guards.

Liam knew the address which was given to him the night before. The drive was full of traffic but Alexis didn't say a word. Maybe, she relished the fact that the meet was being delayed. She was not ready for it after all...or maybe she was.

She shook her head aggressively, shaking out every thought of negativity. It was all so much that she had no idea to think of what had happened.

One moment she didn't even know of his existence and in the other..he was there...in front of her.. taunting her of what had happened and how she had lost everything in one night after deciding in haste and emotion.

She was driven in a nice and moderate area which made her feel nice. At least she was living in good conditions and that took off a little bit of the guilt that was weighing down on her chest.

The car took a turn and so did her heart knowing well that it was nearing the time when she would meet him face to face. Once again but in a completely different light.

She blinked her eyes to get a rate of the slight blurriness that she had gotten due to thinking hard and staring at one point for a long time. She breathed in for courage and strength. Her nerves were all over the place and she was a mess. How had it all come to this once again? Why couldn't she catch a breath?

The car slid to a stop and she straightened up immediately, pulling away from the seat, she sat up waiting for the man to open her door.

"Madam," Liam opened the door for her just like the usual and she nodded in thanks. With the level of panic that she felt, she knew that her words were going to be a jumbled mess.

She climbed up the three stairs on the front and the door was opened. Something that Liam took care of.

She stepped since the lift and felt claustrophobic. She knew of the phobia and took it seriously but TT the moment she would do anything to get out of the lift and be free. The restraints went in and held her limbs making her breathing crime heavier than it already was.

She couldn't do it.

"Madam?"

She was not ready.

"Madam are you okay?"

"I can't do it.." she whispered, bending a but and holding her chest. Sweat built upon her face and she felt bile riding up in her throat. It was getting difficult to breathe for her.

"Madam?!" Liam's panicked voice came to her ears but her brain was too busy to process it and work.

"Get the cars out!" He barked at someone. It sounded distant but it was there. She felt her head getting heavy and no longer felt that she had the strength to support it.

Her legs fumbled and she fell. Someone held her but she didn't know who, her eyes were shut and she didn't bother opening them. She didn't have to..as soon after she had lost herself completely.

Liam stood outside the room, watching through the window as the doctors have her a quick check-up and eventually put her to sleep for a few hours. He knew the interrogation was coming and he was going to be grilled raw left and right. All of this happened in front of him and he had no idea how.

He wondered how had it come to this. She was a bit nervous and he could tell that but the way she just started to sweat, pale and then faint was not normal and he was no doctor. So, once again he had no answered and he was going to get his skin peeled for it.

His phone rang and he picked it up, knowing well who it was.

"Boss."

"What is it? You left the message stating 'This is of utmost importance'."

Boss was pissed already. The message must have been given to him during a meeting and given that the Donna was out today, the boss must have guessed. "Uh..yes boss.." he cleared his throat. He had to strong even though he knew death and if not that, then torture was coming.

The silence was heard and nothing more, not even the sound of the man breathing.

Fuck, the boss was pissed.

"TheDonnafainted." He blurted out.

A harsh sigh came through the phone and he called his eyes in fear. "One more," the boss grunted out the words. "One more chance, be clear or I would cut that tongue out."

Liam shuddered as he heard the words. He knew that it could happen, hell it had previously with many. That was a lesson for people to come.

"The Donna fainted. In the lift of the building that we had entered. She was sweating and had a few breathing problems."

"When?"

"Thirty minutes ago."

"Where?"

"The lift int-"

"Where the fuck are you?!" He yelled through the phone making Liam winced and draw the phone away from his ear for a few seconds.

"The private hospital." He answered and waited for something for he heard a beep.

The boss was coming.
