Chapter 213 - Two Hundred And Thirteen

Agatha agreed. The thirst to do something for her mistress shined in her eyes. She was ready to prove herself no matter what came her way and seducing someone was an art which she was taught from an early age.

"You won't be disappointed madam." She nodded. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Agatha was asking for dismissal and Alexis understood it. So she replied to her wishes and Agatha left after closing the door.

She swiftly moved to the kitchen and prepare a cup of hot coffee, slipping in a small tasteless tablet into the boiling water as well before pouring in the coffee. she knew how to brew coffee she was the best at it and often guards came around demanding it.

Taking a mug in her hand, she moved to one of the many guest bedrooms to check on the locks and the windows. She smiled a little and then moved to the boss's office where the soldier stood.

"Liam," she stood holding out the mug for him to take, "I heard that you were out with madam all day, thought you might need it."

he nodded and took the mud from her immediately taking a sip and appreciating it. "A good cup of strong coffee, thank you, Agatha." He smiled.

And she smiled back. "If possible please give the mug back on your way out? The staff is retiring for the night." She smiled once more as he nodded.

She went back to the room and set up cameras all around. Agatha made sure that Liam would not be able to tell about what happened or even figure there was one camera much less than many in the room.

She moved out and into the kitchen. Starting with placing everything on it's an original place and checking the maid's work along with the supplies left, making a list of things which were to be bought.

"Alright," she sighed and completed the list and glanced around once again for something to be done.

"Here.." a tired-looking Liam came in and kept his mug inside the sink. "I..you told me..to.."

She observed him silently. "You look tired."

He nodded and sat down holding his head, "I think so too. Feel drained all of a sudden.."

"Hmm," she stepped to him, "maybe you should spend the night here." She offered.

"In the boss's house? Without his permission, I think not." He shook his head. "I love my life enough to know when to stop."

She laughed. Her soft, melodious laugh which immediately put him in a trance. "Don't worry, I think the boss would excuse you this once." She walked closer and watched his pupils carefully. Waiting for them to dilate and as soon as they did, she leaned forward and kissed him.

Hours had passed and the hustle-bustle of the city had died down. People had gone to bed but Alexis couldn't close her eyes. The heavy feeling weighing of guilt and despair was lying down on her chest. She was lying down on the bed with her eyes wide as her husband slept beside her. Peacefully without a little idea of what was happening with her.

Good, she wanted it to be that way. It was safer.

She turned around to her side and sighed. Everything was-had fallen apart. There was nothing left. She turned to her back once again. The hollow inside her that she felt would be healed ....it won't ever be. Her incompetence had failed her daughter. Someone who she never had the blessing to meet.

How ironic it was that Alexis had given birth but never had seen the child.

She turns on her side once more.

"I swear to God if you toss one more time I'm going to throw you out of the bed." Her husband's hoarse voice came in, "I'm not kidding I will kick you out." He warned.

turning around once more to have a conversation with him she frowned as she asked, "You were up?"

He opened his eyes to glance at her looking annoyed as hell. "No I was sleeping, must I tell you if it wasn't obvious."

"Wow, someone's a cranky sleeper." She rolled her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" He craned his head upon his hand with his elbow supporting it. "It's 1 a.m. and usually around this time you are dead asleep."

She shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe it isn't coming to me tonight."

"That's one shitty reason you gave me."

'Compared to do one's you have told me? It thinks not. ' She shrugged once more.

She was not going to open up so he asked instead, "What happened today?"

She didn't answer.

"Alexis, there is an underlying sadness in your eyes which contrary to your usual sadness," she sent a quick glare his way, " which looks much more devastating. So either you can tell me how to help you or you dear that on your own until you crumble on it."

"I don't know what to do," she admitted. "I don't know, not in the slightest and I never imagined to see even a glimpse of it happening."

He stared at her and slowly muttered, "is there something that you want to do about it?"

She turned to look at him, wary of taking his hand in help. Often it had come back to bite her in the ass.

"I.." She hesitated

He sighed. "You have to tell someone something."

"How would that help? Lesson up the burden in my heart?" She mocked. "You know what, I'm fine." She turned around.

He sighed, a long one this time. "Suit yourself. I can help but your choice."

"Destroy two people." The words left her mouth before she realised it.

"That is no big deal. It's pretty easy."

"How easy?" She asked a bit tempted.

He smirked. "Very. But it also depends on how much you want to. Drive 'em out of the town of just..kill them."

She chuckled. "It's kinda scary how you easily talk about killing."

He smiled. "Just like you will be.." He leaned closer, "when you find how thrilling it can be."
