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 Nineteen

She could feel the blood dripping down her legs, the pain of the bruises made her legs go numb. The smell of alcohol made her cringe. She couldn't feel them, she prayed for sleep but sleep didn't come to her. Tears were flowing down her cheeks their own, sobs left her mouth. She felt helpless, once again. What was the life built by a woman when she was always going to suffer at a man's hand? Sleep had its own mind; it came to her in the end, consuming her in it and taking her away from the pain.

"Mistress.." Someone shook her

"Mistress...Madam?"

Groggily, she opened her eyes and looked at Agatha. She had a gentle smile on her lips.

"I know what happened last night and I called a female doctor who bandaged you. Master poured alcohol on you to avoid infection. He cares too much." She spoke with a sigh but it almost felt sarcastic. Of course, working for the man, she couldn't be open.
