His Legacy

Chapter 47~ Break In 2.0

'Relax Alexis.' Axcel says, leaning against the wall behind him.

'Excuse me... relax? Axcel, you're on drugs. I'm hanging from the ceiling, and you want me to relax.' I reply.

I'm hanging from the ceiling, tangled in a fabric curtain, or whatever that lady was calling it.

'Miss Camden, he's right. You need to relax, or this won't benefit you.' She says.

She looks like a doula, she talks like a doula.

But I'm not pregnant, and if I was I'm not sure hanging from the ceiling is recommended.

Plus as far as I'm concerned she's an acrobat, not a doula.

Axcel called her something posh, but I'm almost 100% sure my brain is beginning to shut down.

'Axcel, I'm going to pass out.' I say.

'You're not going to pass out, just relax.' He says.

'That's easy for you to say, you're on solid ground.'

He shrugs.

'Why're you doing this to me?' I ask, as I try to untangle my hands from the fabric.

He looks at me straight faced. 'I'm trying to steal back my rightful place in the mafia.'

I narrow my eyes, and he smirks.

'Relax Alexis.' He says.

'Wait Axcel don't change the subject, are you really trying to do that?' I ask him.

He laughs, and pulls his phone from his pocket.

'Axcel, answer me.' I continue.

He doesn't reply.

'Axcel-' I start.

'Hey.' A voice from the other side of the room says.

I spin around, to see Diego standing in the doorway.

'I didn't know you were that flexible.' He says with a smirk.

My eyes widen, and I let go of the fabric.

I drop to the ground, and land on my back.

I groan. 'My spine.'

Axcel laughs at me, then I watch as he peers around the fabric curtain, and waves to Diego.

He waved at Diego...

What is wrong with the world today?

'Ugh my spine is broken.' I look at Diego, then at Axcel, and neither of them look slightly worried that I might be paralysed. 'Guys save me.' I say.

'Alexis, there's a two inch thick mat under you. You'll be fine, I have no sympathy for you.' Axcel says.

Diego comes over, and extends his hand to me.
