Chapter 246 - Two Hundred And Forty-six

Alexis picked up her reports and walked out thinking of telling Angelo and if so, how was she going to?

Anyway-

"Ooh!" She glanced down and someone's little body had crashed into her. "Honey, you okay?" She asked the child who was around three or four. His eyes were mesmerising. The light in them was refreshing.

He nodded looking up at her bending his necks backwards.

She smiled and asked, "Where is your mother? Father? Anyone you know and came here with?"

He shook his head negatively.

"So you came here alone?" He again shook his head.

Now she had half a mind to abandon hers.

"So who'd you come here with, point that person to me." He nodded and did.

Alexis saw the girl who had come in earlier with her friend. "That's the one you came with?" He nodded. "Alright let's go to her."

She held the boy's hand already cooing at the small hand in hers. 

"Here," she handed the boy to the girl who smiled gratefully.

"Thank you so much. I was filling out the form and didn't even notice when he slipped out." She blooped on the nose. "That's bad, baby. Stay with me, okay?"

"Okay." He shyly said. The little voice. 

"How's your friend?" She asked with a concerned laced voice. Alexis has seen this girl almost lose her calm when she was taken inside the operation theatre.

"Oh," her eyes dimmed. "She didn't make it. With the baby."

Alexis nodded solemnly. "And this child-"

"He's hers. Or was." She shrugged. "Probably going to the system but I'm trying to take custody of him so that at least he can stay with someone familiar and not with a child abuser or a Predator."

Alexis had expected concern regarding it but this was too much and Alexis couldn't help but ask, "You want to get his custody? Are you sure?"

"Yes," the girl nodded looking more determined than ever. "That girl who just died was like a sister to me and this is practically my nephew so of course I'm going to take his custody and we were both orphans anyway. So it's always been us against the world."

"Ah," the care. 

She nodded and placed her hand on the girl's shoulder for support and then walked away.

the boy was most likely going to end up in the system and would never be seen his aunt again unless he was 18 and chose to be with her again but that once again came with the condition if he remembered who she was. Which once again was highly unlikely.

She shook her head and glanced back once. The girl was holding his hand and the boy seemed okay with it. She couldn't look back. She had to do something. At least for the baby or the woman who was ready to take onto the world for him.

But she could, couldn't she? She had the power from which she had been constantly snubbing Julia but to be honest this would be more satisfying. The good. 

Putting on a determined mask as well she turned around and walked back to the child, Liam and the Gaurd followed her.

"Here," she took a card from her purse. "If you are unable to attain the custody of the child I want you to call on this number and I will help you with everything I have."

The girl glanced at it and shook her head. "No that's okay-"

"Please." Alexis nodded towards it. "You need it and I can provide the help that you want. trust me I've seen life more than you have and I can tell you this when you need help and you're getting it from somewhere, take it."

"Why?" She took the card slowly. "Why help me?"

It was on the tip of her mouth and she said it.

"Because I can." She answered it.

And she felt more powerful than ever. Nodding at the girl she moved to the outside where the car was waiting for her and so was a giddy Agatha.

"So?" She jumped a bit and rocked back and forth on her heels and toes.

Alexis folded her arms across her chest and raise a brow in question. "Why are you here? Didn't you have to take care of something?"

"Nothing is as important to me as yo-"

"Don't." Alexis waved her off. "I didn't like flattery."

"I couldn't wait Madam. I was so excited. Please tell me!" She practically begged on the spot and Alexis just moved forward to sit in the car.

"There was a child, who just got orphaned and I wanted to do something for him."

Agatha listened with the utmost concentration and nodded as madam stopped talking. "Did you do anything?"

She nodded. "There was a girl who came in with the mother and was ready to take the custody of the boy so I offer my help to her. Legally." She sighed.

"You could help her and you did. I think you should be proud of." Agatha smiled a bit. She didn't understand what Alexis was thinking about. "Why aren't you happy?"

She shook her head lightly. "It's not about being happy or whatever. It's just I felt it. I felt the power I had and it was enough to change someone's entire life." She leaned her head against the window, "Feels like just..too much." 

"Which is why the don set limitations. For a few things he needs the support of others so that he knows that he is right." She then leaned in and whispered as if a secret, "I think he knows that power gets to his head sometimes." 

Alexis snorted and then gave out a full-blown laugh. 

"That could be with him." She sighed and her sight caught the view of the apartments. 

That was where Cassandra and his child lived. 

The power rush came back. She knew the authority she had and now was the time to test its limitations. 

"Liam, turn around. We are going to the apartments. I have someone to meet and..."
