Chapter 193 - One Hundred And Ninety-three

She swirled her spoon around in the bowl of oats. She had no idea why, but she wanted to try and eat these. Agatha had tried to make them look pretty and taste wonderful but no matter what she did, eventually everything became bland to her.

She was having constant flashbacks about the horrifying sight of the pool of blood that the tongue was lying in and it made it difficult for her to eat. So she chose not to. She played around with until Agatha took it away.

'I am scared of him,' She sighed. 'Hitting her as he did to me would have made more sense. He would be a man who felt to show his masculinity in physical terms but no, he flat out cut her tongue and was down with it.' She sighed.

"Agatha, I'll be will going out today." She told the maid as soon as she appeared.

"Any specific place in your mind?" She the maid asked casually. "I could look a few sights up for you. You know, recommendations." She shrugged.

Alexis thought of it. She was not in any mood to enjoy sights or anything like that. She just wanted to wander around where no one bothered her and she bothered no one.

So she shook her head, denying the offer of the maid. She wasn't in any mood.

Fast forward a few hours, she was in the mall doing exactly what she wanted.

Wandering around aimlessly.

Just as she did in her life.

She had a cup of hot chocolate in her hands as you walk through the mall and browsing to the stores. Her sight caught the name Louis Vuitton and she could not help but go inside and buy a bag for self. Maybe some retail therapy would help her also given that Angelo had lots of money she could easily buy numerous bags without blinking at the price tags.

She walked into the store and her clothes and dressing style immediately gave away that she was to spend money and loads of it if they could lure her into it.

unfortunately for them, Alexis refused to have any company unless she asked for it and she made sure of that to let them know. She browsed through the latest bags but found nothing of interest.

'God I hate money. Earlier when I had to save I loved everything in front of me and now that I have an excess amount of it nothing pleases my eye.' she clicked her tongue in anger. Talk about life and how it made everyone struggle both the one with money and the one without it.

She shook her head and turned to leave without buying anything.

She walked to the entrance when everything around her came to a stop, every second that went by ticked in her ear and she heard it all. she saw him once again in front of her eyes, laughing with the man standing next to him. Alexis had involuntarily widened her eyes in disbelief as she once again saw him.

Happy and alive. With the same man which once he hid from, now he laughed with. Alexis felt shame wash over her as she recalled her decisions and the difference in their state. They were happy but she wasn't.

But this time she did not let this chance go. So she snapped a god damn picture just to be sure of his face and this time she would take her happiness back no matter what the cost be.

********

Liam waited for his verdict as he knew that the boss was on his way here.

He turned around to the entrance when he heard the doors being slammed open and there he was, his boss rushing towards him.

"B-bo-" Liam didn't get to finish his sentence as he was grabbed by his collar and dragged away. Pleading his case was going to be a mistake as the boss considered begging the worst weakness of all but fear had gripped him tight. 

He was taken in a storeroom of sorts and thrown inside. As Liam straightened up, he was pushed to the wall with his boss standing in front of him.

"My wife fainted and you were just standing there?" He seethed. "She was fine when she left and in an hour she faints with having breathing problems?"

Liam shook his head as he weeded out the words. "N-no. I don't know how or what happened but the doctors are examining her I think we should go back." He suggested in a calm voice. 

Angelo let go by pushing him and straightened himself up. "Liam, my wife likes you as her guard and I hope for yourself that you were diligent in your duty because if anything were to happen to my wife on your watch I would make sure that you don't have those eyes."

"Yes, boss." He nodded. Knowing that it was true.

Angelo left the man alone and walked out of the storeroom. He made his way to the door where his wife was staying in. The doctor nodded in recognition and respect.

"What happened?" He asked as the first thing when he took his place beside his wife.

The nodded and ran his finger through the reports thoughtfully. "From my side, it's an anxiety attack."

He frowned. "Anxiety attack?" He repeated. "How?" He asked.

The doctor shrugged. "It could be various factors contributing and the answer could only be given by her." He pointed to the mistress sleeping. "I would come back in a few to check." He nodded.

Angelo took a seat at the stool provided.

Anxiety attack? He frowned deepened. He didn't do anything to trigger it. So that meant one thing, something else was going on and he didn't know about it. Agatha and Liam didn't either because he would have been informed otherwise.

His index finger ran delicately on her hairline, enjoying the soft, smooth skin. What is it? What is she hiding that gave her an anxiety attack?

"I'll find out." He whispered, "I'll always find out."
