Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 265: Finding a balance- I

She was almost out of her Moisturizer. This was a thicker one and definitely left a strong stand behind that Angelo hated. The sole reason why she purchased the cream.

But it was not the moisturiser that bothered her at the moment. It was something else, a sinking feeling in her heart that made her almost want to drown herself in the tub because it did not go away.

Keeping her hands on the counter, she looked at herself in the mirror. Alexis was aging but she was aging gracefully.

However, the worry on her mind was taking 10 years away from her life and she had to do something about it.

"I feel like something bad is going to happen." Alexis settled down on the side of the bed but did not bother lying down. " it’s like, like I have anxiety, nervousness and the panicky feeling inside me all at once."

It was a cluster of feelings that was gripping her insides and twisting her air way.

"It happens sometimes. There’s nothing you can do about it." Angelo turned away from the book and looked at her, "hopefully it is nothing."

Yes, hopefully— wait a damn minute.

"What did you just say?" She narrowed her eyes at him.

"What?"

"You," she pointed at him, "just said ’hopefully’."

He nodded. "I believe I just did."

Alexis chuckled, shaking her head. "more than 30 years of marriage and you expect me to believe you when you say something so fateful? You have never depended on it in your entire life and now you say hopefully?"

Angelo ignored her. "Sleep."

That finalised every doubt he said when he said hopefully,

"Fuck no," she’s paid and got up from her side of the bed before rounding around and coming to his. " What’s going on? Why did Salvatore ask all of us to live in his mansion?"

"If anything the boy prefers his privacy. He would not even share a room with his brothers willingly!"

"Your son has his reasons." He muttered dryly. "Let’s leave it at that."

The dismissal that he was showing her always got on her nerves. It was something that he regarded her with even though she was intelligent enough to understand the situation they were in. 30 years into this marriage and he still could not trust her enough.

Alexis glared at him. "we promised ourselves three things after the miscarriage and your cheating scandal."

She did not even flinch when he closed the book and threw it across the room. Instead, she raised three singers as she said, "no violence, no omission of information and truth."

"And yet I don’t get to fuck you more than once a week." He spat. "Where have those three things got me?"

"In a better relationship with everyone around you!" She yelled, but then closed her eyes to calm down. " Look at where you Are, Angelo. Unlike your father, who hates his father, Salvatore does not hate you. You did not turn out to be like your grandfather. You don’t have to be someone better and that is because of the three rules we have."

That was true. That was something that they had held from history, to be repeated once again. Angelo was not a clone of his grandfather Nicholas. Salvatore did not turn out to be Gabrielle.

It had taken them countless of efforts, fights and arguments to get through this and she could see the way his mind was working behind this. He was considering this. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He sighed and closed his eyes. "When I tell you this, I expect you to keep that mouth shut and not go running to your son. Got it?"

"I find it hard to keep my words in my mouth." She replied cheekily.

He grinned, without opening his eyes. "then I can give you something else to put inside your mouth instead of words."

"Shut up, Angelo!" She hissed. More than 30 years of marriage and this man could not shut his dirty mouth up. " Just tell me what is going on already."

"We were threatened." He revealed, " And apparently this thread is big enough for Salvatore to not identify it. We don’t know where it’s coming from, who it is coming from, or what is causing it. We are in the fucking blind."

And that had happened for the first time for her. For 30 years, she had seen her husband and then her son control almost every aspect all over the world and yet they were powerless in their own territory.

If it was God or if it was fate, but it had a distinctive way of telling them that nothing was permanent. What a rose would definitely fall.

But not her family.

But there was something that everyone was missing. How could someone just target them? Her family had control over most of the world and if they did not have a directly, the alliances that they had found only aided.

So how come they all were missing something so crucial and easy going?

"Salvatore should not be the only one threatened then." Alexis noted softly, thinking about it. "Say, Salvatore is one of the strongest and there are many weaker organisations which means everyone is threatened. If he can come after Salvatore, he can go after them and he can definitely conquer them."

It was right in front of them. What threatened, could threaten others.

Angelo nodded slowly, catching her drift. "as in, if you cannot conquer this organisation he will conquer something else and that puts everyone in a collective danger which.."

"Which?" Alexis probbed. "Which what?"

"Which nothing," he said hurriedly before swinging his legs over the bed and standing up. "I have to go. Excuse me."

Leaving Alexis behind, he closed the door shut to their bedroom and barked out an order to the first servant he saw, "get me my son. Tell him it’s an emergency."

That was he said before making his way into the office of his son.
