James walked towards Lucas as James understood that Lucas is waiting for some answers from him.


    "Lucas..." James called and Lucas signalled with his hand to him to have a seat.


    Withoutplianing, James sat down with a sigh.


    "I guess, You have some questions for me." James said and Lucas folded his hands on his chest.


    "I didn''t say anything yet..." Lucas replied.


    "I noticed the way you look at me in our room. You probably confused about how Angelina suddenly reacted." James said and Lucas nodded.


    "Yeah... I... Was quite taken a back... Is she alright?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.


    "Yes. She is alright. Sleeping peacefully." James answered.


    "That''s good then." Lucas replied as he released a breath.


    "Umm... Yeah." James said.


    "Is there anything that you... Want to tell me?" Lucas asked as he raised his eyebrows and James looked up at him and slowly nodded his head in yes.


    Lucas looked straight into his eyes raising his eyebrows while James looked around.


    "Umm... Can we talk... Privately? Somewhere else?" James as he scratched the back of his neck and Lucas nodded his head.


    Lucas got up from the couch and walked towards his bedroom and James just followed him behind to his room.


    They both got inside and Lucas closed the door behind him as James walked inside and sat down on the couch.


    "What is it?" Lucas asked.


    "Actually... Umm..." James stuttered.


    "What happened, James?" Lucas asked and James looked up at him.


    "Angelina doesn''t panic attack often... She got it this time because she was worried about you all... Thinking that, she is at fault... And guilty for something she is not fault or guilty." James answered making Lucas frowned.


    "Can you tell me clearly what happened?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.


    "Mia came here... But the guards stopped her from entering inside since Martin warned the security to not let anyone inside the mansion. So, she was stopped at the Main Gate. I guess, she called Johnson but he didn''t answer his phone and so, she called Uncle Robert. But he left his phone on the coffee table in the lounge." James said and Lucas frowned.


    "Mia was here?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.


    "Angelina picked up the call. Mia requested... Well, I think... Quite demanded to the security to let her inside. But, you know Angelina... She said to the security to not let her inside the Mansion no matter what...


    Mia got angry at her and yelled on Angelina. Well, Angelina fired back at her. Mia was angry and said, she will make Angelina regret." James answered as he sighed.


    "Then?" Lucas asked.


    "Well... It was all good until Angelina wanted me to call the reporter to get to know more information about from whom he got the pictures of Samantha shot... I did call my investigator just to get the news that the reposter dead." James answered making Lucas''s eyes wide in shock.


    "What? He died? How? When?" Lucas started shooting his questions with his shocked face.


    "Yeah. He is dead... Few hours back... And Angelina think, Mia killed that reporter to show Angelina that what Mia is capable of doing after all she literally kicked Mia out without letting her get into the Mansion." James answered and Lucas''s eyes widened again.


    "What?" Lucas asked and James nodded his head in yes.


    "And right now... Angelina feels guilty for the reporter''s death and she suddenly felt as if she is at fault... It''s like, Mia is warning us to be careful because she hold grudges against people... She killed an innocent person who can give us many answers for us about the person he got the pictures from but that person is no more." James said and looked into Lucas''s wide eyes.


    "I tried to tell her that this is not her fault but you suddenlying and talking about Mia made her more worried about this situation. She is more worried about this family... As she thinks, Mia is capable of ruining everyone in this family." James answered.


    "I... I can''t... Believe this." Lucas replied as he cupped his face in his hands and took a deep breath.


    "I understand what you feel... You can''t able to think about Mia killing someone... Because, You know her as a woman who is innocent and so professional at her work. Who isn''t capable of talking back to anyone can kill a person which is impossible to think." James said as he sighed and Lucas closed his eyes trying to getbhis kind straight about whatever he had just heard about Mia. Stay updated through empire


    "I have seen Mia before in many meetings. She is not like this... It''s like, she is totally a different person. But for you all, she is like a close trusted friend. I can imagine what is going on in your mind." James said as he released a breath as Lucas opened his eyes.


    "But... I can''t imagine how will Johnson feel about this once he gets to know about Mia... And how badly she is betraying him." James ended.


    "What?" Johnson asked and Alexi looked up at him nodding her head in yes.


    "Yes... I want to protect Martin." Alexi answered.


    "What do you mean?" Johnson asked and Alexi walked towards the big window.


    She looked out at the busy city as Johnson walked towards her.


    "Alexi..." Johnson called grabbing her attention.


    "As I said before... Martin is one of the amazing guy I have met. I never believed in love or marriage before. I always felt like it''s not my cup of tea. After whatever to Happened, I was disgusted about the word called... Love.


    Because, I thought Love isn''t something that hurts... But love is something that make you feel happy." Alexi said with a smile.


    "But... After seeing you and Sam together... My thoughts on love started to change little by little. Until then, I had no intentions on falling in love with anyone. I never dated before seriously either..." Alexi said as she shrugged.


    "As things started to change between you and Samantha, I realised... Love only hurts until you both find your way to each other. Because, once you both fell deep in the love then, there''s nothing and no one that ising in between you... And things never change. You promised each other to stay together no matter what! You never hurt each other ever again." Alexi said and Johnson nodded with a smile.


    "I tried to give it a short to Martin and date him because, I just... Wanted to give a shot. It''s not like I am not interested in him but, I didn''t dated him with the intentions of getting married to him." Alexi said making Johnson frown.


    "Yeah... But, seriously it''s not my intention to just date him simply... I want to be with him. Stay with him. Spend time with him. But...


    Marriage with him was not something that I can think about." Alexi said as she sighed.


    "I lost hopes on marriage the second... I..." Alexi stuttered as she looked down at her hands.


    "The second... When the blood got on my hands for killing Leo." Alexi said as tears rolled down in her eyes.


    "He was alive." Johnson replied and Alexi took a deep breath nodding her head.


    "He was... But i lived a guilty life... For more than 5 years." Alexi said as a tear rolled down from her eyes and Johnson sighed.


    "I didn''t sleep peacefully even for a night knowing that, there''s blood on my hands and it will be... Forever." Alexi said as more tears rolled down from her eyes.


    "It was so hard for me to digest the fact that I killed someone whenever I think about it... You can say, that is why I overworked every time and just didn''t ever cared about my life... I just wanted to escape from this world... From the things I am stuck at. From whatever I am thinking... I just wanted to escape from myself.


    That is why, i choosed hard roles to y. So, that I can run away from myself as much as I can... I don''t want to return back to mysslf because there''s too much that I am going through." Alexi said and Johnson took a deep breath and walked closer towards her and gave her a brotherly hug.


    She hugged him tightly and started crying out so badly.


    She started to pour down herself and let go of herself in Johnson''s arms. She didn''t ever opened up like this infront of anyone other than her sister and Andrew.


    Johnson is the third guy to know what she is actually going through. She is scared of herself... She is scared of what she did. She is scared of her anger. She is scared of her whole self.


    "Shhh... It''s okie. You didn''t do anything. You are all good." Johnson tried to reply but he understood that he can''t say anything to make her feel good right now because she needs to vent out her right now and thats the only thing that can make her feel good.


    "Alexi..." Johnson called and cupped her face. He wiped off the tears away from her cheek.
