Chapter 217 - Two Hundred And Seventeen.

A brand new day it was and she was sitting in her new office. So far she had no contact of any kind with aggressiveness towards Jeff making his life stressful every day at work and from the dark circles he had, she could tell that it was at home to.

Madison had arrived and was given an internship in the company on the word of Alexis.

She laughed gleefully as she sipped on her coffee, it was a matter of time before everything in Jayden's world would once again fall apart.

"You called me Ma'am?" Jeff knocked on the day and entered as Alexis permitted him to.

"Yes, I did." She answered. "Jeff how long has it been that you have been working in this company."

He thought of it. "give or take 6 years at least." He answered.

She hummed at that seeming quite impressed. "Well, what do you think of a promotion."

"Me?" if he was a cartoon character surely his eyes would have passed out. "But I do not have that capability or I would rather say the education for it."

She nodded. "Yes, that but you can always take a leave of education. It's in the company's policy, you promise or rather sign a legal document stating that you will stay with the company after completing the education of the higher level."

Statued for a second he then nodded hurriedly almost eager to please her. "Yes, mam I will sign whatever you say."

She gave him a charming smile. "Perfect."

Nadine made her way to the cafeteria in the office. She scanned the area around for the new intern who was making it obvious that she was somewhere where she did not belong especially by wearing jeans and t-shirt to the office.

"Madison," Nadine smile as she approached her. "I hope you are having in knowledgeable time so far. I have been told that it is your first company to work for so far after your ...graduation?"

Madison nodded hurriedly almost thankful that someone had finally taken an interest in her. "Yes ma'am."

With a smile, Nadine continued, "well then if you would be so kind to tell me what did you do your graduation in?"

"Oh," Madison Laughed, "no, no. I did not have graduation, I never went to a college, I was talking about my high school graduation."

Nadine's smile faltered a bit. "Ah," she commented looking a away for a moment.

"Well then I can tell you one thing for sure but you must work very hard if you want to become something more than an intern." She confidently advised. "Do not look for the easy way out and if you do, please think about it."

"Yes ma'am. I will." Madison answered as confidently as she could even the for a moment she felt that taking the short road would be more comfortable and easier for her.

But then again what did she know about the future maybe the skills that she acquired from the strip club would come in handy after all.

"Jayden," He looked up to find the manager hovering over him.

"Yes sir." He got up in respect.

The manager nodded and spoke in a grim voice. "We are cutting down on employees and branches and since we haven't made a significant commission in the previous six months, we are having this branch shut down in the next three weeks."

"Three weeks?!" He shrieked making the manager wince.

"Well, you heard it right." He confirmed. "However we would be given the salary of two months but I suppose after this we will have to look for new jobs."

not believe his luck and the words that man just said and continued to look at him with wide eyes making the manager sigh. "It is just not you, the whole branche's shutting down that means even I am out of a job and going to have to look for it and unlike you, I have three kids to take care of." He huffed and walked away.

Kids.. the word rang in his mind.

*******

Sipping her strong expresso, she looked out of the building to the whole of Chicago visible to her, thinking about what next to do. even though she was on the road to revenge and everything was just as planned. There was this emptiness inside her that she could never fulfil even though she knew that she would get pregnant one day. There was this loss of a child that could never be filled again.

It was always going to be there whether she had twice as many kids. The question was what was she supposed to do to fulfil it even in the slightest way possible.

Something that would satisfy the wounded motherhood inside her.

But how could it possibly be when she did not even touch her husband. Would it make sense if she did now?

Alexis sighed heavily. Even though when she lived alone and had no desire to be committed to anyone or be in a relationship of any kind she had an urge to become a mother. To nurture a child and take care of them.

To have someone running around here, expecting her to come back home and giving her love back. Diesel had somehow filled that whole love but now that she realised it, she did want a proper baby. As for diesel, he was enjoying his stay with Silvano dog at the farmhouse but she will surely have to make time for him too.

She laughed as she imagined diesel And The baby meeting each other for the first time.

As the day ended, she packed her bag and was driven home back to the husband. Back to a home that she wanted to be filled with joyous laughter and the sound of little feet running around.

She smiled a little bit as she ate her dinner making husband question her sanity about it. Muttering a simple later, they ate their dinner and retired to the bedroom.

After she had changed her clothes and Angelo had retired to bed, she turned around to him and finally popped the words, "I want to have a baby."
