Chapter 242 - Two Hundred And Forty-two

Chaos had surrounded the whole house. One person was yelling, the other was arguing and then one was begging. Alexis was looking and random directions to figure out who was speaking to home and who was yelling. Also trying to figure out who was the one begging.

"Angelo," She turned to him who was looking uninterested in everything happening in front of him. Even if it was his family falling apart. "Do something."

"They are all adults." He shrugged.

"Still, just do something!" She hissed looking at them.

He sighed and looked away, his eyes glanced up for a second and after that he straightened up. "That's it!" He roared and as everyone pointing down he continued in his normal voice which was chilling. "This is my house, not a circus show if you desire to fight and fight in your own home. Nikolas de'Alessandro has disowned Marcus de'Alessandro and we all have heard it, the paperwork would be delivered to you by this very evening." He then looked at Juliette, "I cannot say you have a divorce but I can offer you protection and wherever you want to go. As for Matteo and Juliet, you can come to talk to me personally after a few days after you have figured out what to do." He finished and stood up. Taking Alexis along with him they both work upstairs back into their bedroom.

As he closed the door behind them, she continued to stare at his back. "That's all you have to do? You just have to announce and that's it?" She pointed at what had happened downstairs. "Why couldn't you have done it earlier?"

He sighed but didn't reply.

So she went to the next topic.

"Matteo is technically... Child out of a marriage and that is a crime." She took a seat at the bed. "Is that why no one knows that you have a child out of marriage?"

His back was towards her and whatever he was doing he continued to do so without bothering to turn to her. "Yes, why?"

She shook her head. "Oh no, no reason. I was just asking."

"Would be removed from your position of anyone ever came to know?"

He didn't reply immediately and she anxiously waited for his answer. "Yes, I would." Came finally.

"Hmm," she sighed and didn't speak any further.

She got up and walked to the closet. Taking off her heels she slipped into comfy slippers and kept them back.

A sudden push came and her face was flat against the closet.

"What is it that you are thinking about?" A chilling voice came behind her ear. "your questions are pointing towards one conclusion and I am praying that you not thinking about that."

Fear crawled up as fine as she understood where his words are coming from but right now she can't help but play.

For the first time she had recognised a weakness and she was just letting it go.

"What? what are you trying to say?" Her eyes darted around to see him but he was directly behind her ear and her face was directly touching towards the cheek making her stay glued against the wall.

He chuckled. The sound made her shiver and her panties dampen. His bone-chilling behaviour had made her both horny and scared.

She had gone mental.

Or it was Stockholm syndrome. Yes, it was that. She couldn't be turned on by him.

"-Are you even listening?" He hissed sharply making her jerk out of it.

"W-what?" She blinked and in that second she was turned around and now her back was against the closet wood and her face right in front of his.

"Don't try to fool me. I've had people smarter than you try to fool me, Alexis. So a little warning, don't try to fill someone smarter than you."

She scoffed at his face and shook her head ever so slightly. "I'm not trying the fool anyone. I asked something and you answered. That's it. End of story."

The only thing that convinced him about this was the fact that Alexis's voice was steady and firm.

"Just asking?" He confirmed but with a tilt of his head. For her, it was as if he was mocking her.

Why won't he? He had understood her motive behind the questioning even though Alexis didn't think of anything as of yet.

"Yes," she repeated back firmly relaying H2 him that she understood what he meant by asking her again.

"Alright then." He let her go and took a few steps back and left the room.

She sighed aggressively and her shoulders fell as she did so. It was too difficult to do be with this man as he knew everything.

"Madam?"

"Ah!" She jumped up and turned around to see Agatha standing right behind her. "Make some noise, would you?"

She nodded. "Yes madam. I would remember that."

Alexis nodded and bent down to pick up her shoes that had fallen before. When she turned around again she saw that Agatha was in the same place.

"Is something wrong? You have to say something?" She cheers to the little frown on her forehead.

Agatha nodded a bit hesitantly. "I..uh.." she looked to the side and then gathering all her courage spoke hastily. "Please don't take offence to this but I bought you something."

"Ooh," Alexis took the bag from that she had offered to hold out. "I'll be honest, I've never taken an offence to someone by me something- not pregnancy tests!" She hissed at the end. "What were you thinking?!"

"I-I thought them discreetly." She squeaked out under Alexis's glare.

With wide glaring eyes, Alexis asked, "How discreetly, did you steal them and have no one know about it?"

"..no..."

"Then someone must have seen you!" She placed the bag on the closet shelf. "Did you with someone?"

She shook her head. "No, but why are you panicking like that?"

'Why am I?' Alexis thought about it.

"No idea." She took the bag and walked towards the bathroom.. "Lemme just take it."
