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 Twenty

Sensitive in nature. 

This was perhaps the first situation in which Alexis didn't know what to say. Meeting her potential father-in-law was scary especially if she did not want to get married to his son in the first place. She fidgeted with her hands, wanting to get rid of their gazes off of her. She was still feeling the pain from last night's episode.

"I take it you know about the family business," the senior Alessandro asked her and his voice commanded her attention. 

"I've confirmed the rumours, father," Angelo commented on making Gabriele chuckle at the humourless situation.

"Ahh I see," he leaned in and clicked his fingers in front of Alexis's face making her flinch and come back to reality, "do you wish to know more child?" He asked waiting for the answer that she was going to give him.

"I don't, I am fine with what I know." She softly said, loud enough to make them hear it.
