IT SLOWLY BECAME clear to Alena Petrovna that love was the start and end of all problems. Although it did have the answers, it also brought more questions. Questions that made her toss and turn at night, agitated, confused.
Why did he call Grace?
Was he still in love with her?
Perhaps she had dived head first into this marriage with a pale pink fairytale imagination.
Tommy's world was dark, and ambiguous. So was his secrets. Although they had become more vulnerable towards each other, there was still layers of the gangster she had yet to uncover.
"Good morning, Your Grace." A maid was waiting for her in the hallway, ready to escort her to the dining table. "Breakfast is ready for you."
"I didn't call for breakfast." Alena throws away her cigarette, a little confused.
Today she planned on meeting Tatiana for brunch, she needed to go clear her head.
"Mr Shelby did. He woke up earlier this morning." The young lady explains.
It made no sense to Alena how Tommy was up before her. The man was blackout drunk yesterday and could barely forge a sentence.
She had to sleep alone last night in their canopy bed. The sheets felt cold but her body was hot with anger and betrayal. Whilst Tommy had peacefully fallen asleep somewhere, intoxicated.
"Very well." She clasps her hands together in an orderly fashion before reluctantly following the maid downstairs.
As she entered the dining room, the first thing she noticed was the colourful fruits that filled the table, with warm bread and golden cutlery. It was almost as if it were a royal banquet.
"Good morning, Alena."
Tommy Shelby sat right across the table like a king. A chandelier above his head in a halo like manner, and a grand painting of him on the wall.
"I thought I'd join you for breakfast." He says proudly. "Never had breakfast here, and it's my own home. Can you believe that?"
Alena scoffs, she couldn't believe her eyes. The fact he could continue as normal after the events of yesterday made her even more angry.
Frustrated, she turns around, storming off.
"Alena!" Tommy was trying to catch up with her. "Where are you going?!"
