"Are you crazy!?" Gio yelled frightened.

He had ducked just in time so the stapler missed his head by an inch and smashed in the wall behind him. Since that didn't hit him, I drew the telephone off the table as well as the paperweight and throwing it them at him once more. He again managed to dodge the paperweight but the phone connected him in the shoulder.

"What are you doing here!?" I yelled angrily as I threw another item at him.

"Lexi wait stop. Please" Gio said holding out his hand. "I just wanna talk"

"I don't have anything to say to you!" I screamed at him as I took up the chair and throw it at him as well.

"Lexi please just give me a chance" Gio said dodging the items I kept throwing at him. "Please I know you probably want me dead right now but hear me out"

"Like you gave me a chance to hear me out?" I asked furiously. "You have never been so right about anything in your life like how you are right now. I do want you six feet under!"

"I know you probably hate me right now but..." Gio ducked as I throw another item at him. "Could you please stop that? You're... You're destroying your office and you're gonna have your customers and staff outside worried about what's going on in here"

"You know what, you're right" I said to him grabbing my bag and taking out my gun. "Let's just end this once and for all"

"Lexi please put that down" Gio said to me as I pointed the gun at him. "You don't wanna do that right now, were in public, at your restaurant. People are...."

"Shut up!" I said to him as I reached into my bag again with one hand while the other held the gun still pointed.

"I know that you're mad at me right now for what I did..." Gio started saying.

"Mad is an understatement to what I am right now Giovanni" I said as I took out the silencer from my bag. "And hate doesn't even come close to how I feel about you right now".

"Lexi what are you doing?" Gio asked as he watched me attached the silencer to the gun. "I didn't know about the baby"

"Do not bring my dead child into this right now!" I shouted at him. "You are the one who caused it to be dead right now"

"I'm sorry, I was upset at finding out that you lied to me about who you were and then all those things that happened everything pointed at you" Gio tried saying.

"Shut up!" I shouted as I fired at him.

He was just in that to duck out the way or else he'd be most definitely dead. I started crying as I held the gun at him still.

"I tried explaining things to you" I said between tears. "I even called you and tried again but you never gave me a chance".

"Lexi I'm sorry, I never knew" Gio said to me. "I thought you had been playing me, you think I'd want to hurt you or even worst the baby? It was my child too!"

"Don't say that!" I shouted at him. "You have no right to say that! You and your men, you all murdered it"

"I am sorry! I'm not asking you to forgive me but I want to make it up to you" Gio said to me.

"Are you for real!?" I said in disbelief. "You can't make it up to me! You can't undo what was already done"

"Lexi please just..."

"Don't!" I shouted at him. "I don't want to hear anything from you..."

Suddenly I heard the door knocked and my nam being called.

"What!?" I shouted before realizing my mistake.

I was mad at Gio, I shouldn't be taking it out on anyone else especially my staff. I put down the gun in one of the drawers as I heard the door being opened. Derek and Khadja peeped in looking really worried and concerned.

"Is everything alright in here?" Derek asked concerned.

"We heard noises from outside" Khadja said as they both looked from me to Gio.

"Yeah everything's fine" I nodded with a small smile.

I could see that they didn't believed me one bit as they took it the condition of my office. Almost everything from my desk were smashed and scattered across the room as I had thrown them at Gio, my chair included. But really who would?

"Are you sure?" Derek asked again as he looked around.

"Yeah Derek don't worry" I tried reassuring him. "I was thinking of refurbishing"

"Oh. Oh well if everything's fine then I guess we should go back out there. We were just wondering" Derek said to me. "If you need anything let me know".

"Yeah I will" I smiled slightly. "Thanks guys"

"You have a great staff" Gio said as Khadja and Derek left.

"Just get out before I shoot you whether we're in a public establishment or not" I said to Gio. "Now!"

"Alright alright I'll go" Gio said holding up his hands then walking to the door. "But I'm really sorry Lexi, I want you to know that".

"Just go" I said to him.

"One question before I go" Gio said pausing with one hand on the door knob. "What did you do with Joe?"

"He's in the same place you're gonna be if I see you again" I said coldly to him.

"You..." Gio started saying but I started screaming at him again.

"I said get out!"

I pulled the knife out of my pocket and throw it at him. He was just in time to pull the door and get out, as the knife stuck into the door. After which I sank down to the floor with my head in my hand and just cried. I know right at this moment I was exhibiting signs of weakness but I just didn't care, I was alone so I think I was entitled to cry. Crying was the only way of getting rid of all the anger in me.

After a few minutes, I got up and went to the bathroom and get cleaned up. I washed my face and fixed my hair then left. I had told Derek to get someone to fix up my office and replaced anything that was broken.

After the day I had I needed a little cheering up so I ordered myself a large box of pizza and some hot wings and take home. I just went to my room and drown all my anger in eating. I was too stuff to function any at all that I literally fell asleep on the box of few remaining slices. I couldn't even look at the wings I had bought. I ate myself to sleep.

A couple minutes after I had woke up I heard Dominic downstairs. I went downstairs walking quite lazily. I went into the living room where Dominic, Kathleen, Marc, Mom and that was talking.

"Hey guys" I smiled slightly. "What's going on?"

"Hey" Kathleen smiled.

Marc smiled at me "what's up?"

"Not much" I said smiling slightly.

"You okay sweetie?" Mom asked.

"Everything okay?" Dad asked.

"Yeah what happened to you?" Dominic asked.

"I'm fine" I smiled at mom before to Dominic. "Why did you ask that?"

"You're kinda walking like you've been hit by a bus earlier" Dominic said to me.

"Oh I've just woke up after eating five slices of pizza and this is the result" I said to them causing them to all chuckle.

"You over ate" Dad nodded.

"Yeah I had decided to treat myself earlier" I said to them. "Maybe I over did it".

"Is everything alright otherwise from that?" Mom asked concerned.

"Yeah I'm good mom" I smiled at her.

"So I've been meaning to asked you" Dominic began. "When are you finally getting rid of your little patient prisoner you have held up at my warehouse, I think he's due now?"

"I'm actually gonna let him go" I said to him.

Dominic thought I was going to torture for a while before permanently getting rid of him.

"What!?

"You're doing what!?"

"What? So he'll come back at you when he's better?"

Dad, Marc and Dominic said in disbelief.

"I know, it's really unlike me but I decided to try being a bit more lenient" I said to them. "I've decided he's have enough, I'm going to give him a chance to live. And trust me he won't try to get back at me"

"I'm not going to question you any further" Dominic said to me. "I trust your judgement, just be sure you're right"

"Thank you. I appreciate that" I nodded at him. "I'll get him out tomorrow"

******** The next day after I had sort out things to get back Joe home I headed over to the warehouse. I was going to do everything myself and have another chat with him just so we are clear on certain issues. I opened the door and entered. Joe was on the bed still cuffed by one hand but he wasn't smelly as he was the other day. I had personal asked for help from Pietro, Ian and another one of Dominic guy's to make sure he or the room doesn't get too stinky considering.

"Hey handsome" I chuckled as I saw that he was awake.

"Oh if it isn't my dear queen Lexi" Joe said sarcastically rolling his eyes.

"Come on don't be like that" I smiled at him. "I'm letting you go today"

"Oh really? I'm really surprise. What should I do to praise and thank you, your Highness? Should I uhm... I don't know get down on my knees?.... Oh wait sorry I can't my Queen, somebody broke them" Joe said sarcastically.

"Oh Joe, don't be such a sour puss" I shake my head at him. "So I've seen your boss yesterday"

"Really now?" Joe asked, "And is he the one that's making you letting me go this soon?"

"No, if anything he makes me wanna keep you longer" I said to him. "Anyway I won't do that, but we're gonna have to discussed some rules about you going free"

"What rules?" Joe asked.

"I'm letting you go but I'm still gonna be personally checking up on you and have someone take care of you until you're better" I said to him.

"What!?" Joe said in disbelief. "Why?"

"Well because I say so" I said to him.
