Chapter Two hundred and thirty two

Alexis came to her room and to her surprise Angelo was on the bed and he was resting."What's up with you?" She checked his temperature. "Are you sick? Feeling a little under the weather?" She teased.

He opened up one of his eyes only a little to watch her. "Even if I am sick, which I am not, what is there to tease me about it?"

She shrugged with her lips thinned as she stretched them in a smile. "I don't know to imagine a big bad Mafia boss sneezing and sniffing or going to loo 30 times in a meeting?"

His eyes flashed. "That's not funny."

She shook her head a bit. "Well, I never said it was." She smiled and winked at him. "Scoot." She said and as he did, she laid down next to him.

She told him everything that Juliette and she had talked about in the gardens and about the abuse she had suffered at the hands of her grandmother in law.
