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 One hundred and ninety-nine.

Opening her eyes she gasped as she recognised the man in front of her. It was her cousin and best friend Elijah!

"Oh my.." she whispered looking at him. "Is it you.."

"Naah," he denied. "I'm just so pretty that you are dreaming of me even after five years since we last met." He replied sarcastically.

"Shut up!" She hit his shoulder. "come here." She raised her arms and hugged him close and he did, just as tightly.

"I missed you." He said slowly. "So much."

She smiled and replied. "I know, I did too." She tightened her hold on him.

Elijah had been her go-to a friend for everything. They were very close and he was in her maternal side but after the death of her aunt and his mother, his father had moved away for a better job opportunity and which would eventually provide him with a better educational opportunity.

After that, they had gradually fallen out of contact. The time difference and their individual lives had pulled them apart.
