Infatuation of Darkness

*Dark Romance* "Search the name, Angelo de Alassandro." He said. Now she was doubtful why would she have to search his name? She did it and the search was normal; it was like searching for any other business man. But a few caught her attention. 'Angelo de Alassandro linked with the underworld. 'De Alassandro associated with the recent gun fire.' 'Another body found inside a dumpster, to be linked with the de Alassandro group.' The links did not stop. They more she scrolled down the more she read and the more gut twisting they got. She did not know how to react with the situation especially when the man who was supposedly linked with them was sitting right next to her. She was reading them with so much attention that she did not notice Angelo standing behind her. He was enjoying her reactions and her curiosity to read more. He bent down to her ear causing her breath to be hitched. He leisurely stroked her face and pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Do you think that can be rumours?" Calmly he spoke in her ear. "They could be," She spoke diplomatically. He chuckled, "well, they are not." He confirmed. (I don't stand for abuse but I need to show it for the development of my characters.)

Chapter Two hundred and eighty-four

She knocked on the door and waited just like the day before.

"What?" She heard again. 

Alexis breathed in for courage quickly before saying, "Breakfast?"

For a few seconds, she did not hear anything and rejection came to her mind.

"Just come in child."

And she did. As soon as she had the words she twisted the doorknob open and enter the room closing the door shut behind her. 

Gabrielle's grim and gloomy face came to sight as he said, "Why are you here? You should take care of your family well. I am a grieving man and I will take care of myself, you don't worry."

She shook her head. "I don't think it works that way." She took a seat at the end of his bed. "I have one member less at my dining table and I felt his absence."

"Do people not do that when grieve?" He laughed and it felt sad to her. 

She nodded. "They do but you have your family to fall back on which is why I am requesting you to have at least two meals a day."
