Chapter 235 - Two Hundred And Thirty-five

Chuckling nervously on the spot that she had still on, she shook her head hurriedly with an expression of panic and said, "That's not possible and how do you even know that?"

Agatha answered with a determined face. She was not wrong and she knew it. "I am the one who keeps sanitary napkins on to the shelf every month and you have not used it in Chicago and since we came here." Her eyes flickered away, "With your visit to the hospital I thought that your body must be healing but it might be before your vacation to Switzerland or around it. A month or two ago because that's how long it has been to your last cycle."

'And I practically begged him for a baby.' Alexis closed her eyes at the possibility. Now that she realised she understood where Angelo was coming from. She had to organise three parties for three different events and Alexis had gone completely bonkers about it, imagine having to be a mother. It would be a complete disaster, she shook her head. She had to talk to him as soon as possible but she couldn't do it tonight.

For tonight her head had to be back in the game.

Plus, this was not confirmed so there was a slight hope and this could be out of nervousness and anxiety and not from the bun in her oven. As much as pleasing a baby sounded to her, right now it sounded just as difficult and tiring. 

She breathed in for some courage and turned to Agatha. "Listen, I am not going to tell this Angelo right now and so are you. I need confirmation about it first after which he would be told."

"Yes ma'am." She answered immediately. Confirmation was probably more important than just relying the news on to the Don.

Alexis fixed her appearance quickly although nothing is wrong with it and then walked out as the room continue to bustle as if no one had noticed her absence to which she was thankful.

As she took her seat in front of a vanity she was immediately surrounded by people. The first thing was she had been changed into the dress that she had chosen after which a bathrobe was thrown over her dress and then the makeup and hair artists came.

All of this happened around her yet her only thought was that she had the possibility of being pregnant at the very moment.

When she looked at Agatha, she noticed how that woman has involved with Alexis preparations more than her herself. But she was thankful for it is well, she did not have to care for what they were doing as Agatha had completely taken control of it.

'But why now?' she continued to think. 'even if I am pregnant now, what is the possibility that I could take care of a child when I can't even find where my daughter was? I could not even take care of her... So how am I supposed to take care of another one? And what about telling Angelo to tell about her?'

She gulped down the thought. 'there is no possible way where I can explain to him what happened. Perhaps there is no need to explain it to him, that child is no more Jayden had already taken her before I could get her into the system because of which even if Angelo ever searched about her he would come up with nothing.' Hope shined ahead, 'it means that I can hide the fact and also if he ever came close to knowing, there was no evidence to provide for the matter.'

Makeup and hair were done, she had worn her wedding ring and an expensive watch. She got up and thanked everyone in the room. Smiling at them, she turns around and left the room. The car was prepared for her and Agatha. Taking the place inside Alexis breathed for courage and prayed for the night that she was about to get into.

********

Minutes before they were going to reach the restaurant.

"Most of them are already there. they are expected to be there before you reach because it's not your house, you want to greet them as the host." Agatha spoke sitting next to her in the car. "being confident is the key and don't be afraid to answer anyone back."

She did not help but appreciate her efforts to calm her nerves down she nodded.

The car came to a stop.

"Ready?" Agatha asked behind her.

Alexis shook her head, she wasn't. She breathed in and out to calm herself. 'But it's going to be alright. I have met bigger and worst bullies in the line of business and I have survived being nothing but a secretary. Here, I am the queen and as they say, Queen is the most powerful in the game of chess.'

She nodded. "Yes," the unlocking of the door was heard and a full-blown smile came to her face and she got off the car with poise and grace and immediately she was met with flashes. A little of her hip swing, her chin up and her back straight she walked forward. Not stopping for the cameras as she was not prepared for it, she directly walked into the establishment but stopped a little, just for a few seconds. A girl's gotta show off.

"What happened there?" She asked in shock as her coat was being taken off at the entrance of the doors were closed. "I had no idea about that. N-no one said anything about that!" At the end and her words had turned to harsh whispers.

After taking her coat, Agatha answered. "I had no idea about this happening either. This is completely unexpected and someone might have tipped them. Nevertheless, what you did was completely fine and I am sure going to have a million followers at least by tomorrow morning.'

Alexis tsked and they made their way to the banquet hall a floor above. It was reserved for parties like these.

She came face to face with the door and released a huge sigh.

It was showtime.
