Ricco walks into Alexis’s room where she is laying down watching tv, he slowly sits next to her sliding his hand up her leg pushing her nightgown up over her bum. Startled Alexis flips over and crawls back on her bed screaming “L.. l.. leave me alone dont touch me there, that's my no no place!”
Ricco pulls her closer to him covering her mouth, shushing her in her ear, moving her nightie up more and removing it, the farther he moved up her dress the harder she cried. When he was done touching her, her lower region was sore red and bloody. The next morning when her mother woke her to bathe her for school Alexis would jump or cry when she got closer to where it would hurt. Later that day when Ariana and Damon asked her about it she told them about how Ricco touched her.
“I don't believe you could come up with such disgusting things about your cousin.” Ariana screamed smacking Alexis across the face
“Go to your room i don't want to see your lying face again,” Alexis continues
As Alexis gets up to walk to her room she looks over to her father she looks for any remorse or answers in his eyes, when realizing she wasn't going to find it in his eyes she runs up stairs. Slamming her bedroom door Alexis flops onto her bed balling through the night.

Current time
“Why in the hell should i drop the charges after everything he did to me, the time i told you about wasnt the only time and it definitely wasnt the first time either so f**k no im not going to drop the charges it took all the courage in the world to do that and you tink im just going to let it go.”Alexis yells
“If I do think of dropping the charges that means that I will be killing him as soon as I see him either way I will get my revenge, getting him locked up is me sparing him his life. Now is there anything you want to say before me and my family leave you and your lunatic asses here to rot?” Alexis asked still yelling
“Please honey for the family,its ruining your fathers business and the family's reputation.”Ariana begged
“No and it's really sad that you would willingly put a rapist back on the streets and even allow him anywhere near me and my family. I'm not even surprised that you really chose someone that not only raped me but also stole millions of dollars from the family as a whole to support his drug addiction.” Alexis blurted out
“Still that that doesn't mean we love both of you even less.”Damon replied
“Speak for yourself she is still a tramp in my eyes i don't even know how Gabriel deals with her anymore constantly nagging.” Ariana started rolling her eyes
Alexis walks off leading Gabriel and Leo to the front door opening it and looking outside taking a deep breath she spins around yelling through the house “And you ask why i never acted they way you thought a lady should i didnt want to end up like a shriveled up hag like you, you bitter bitch.”
Ariana walks up to Alexis lifting her hand to smack her in the face when Alexis grabs her wrist and punches her face making her fall back onto the floor. Alexis kneels down next to her and brings Ariana's face closer to hers.
“Mom do you remember the day i decided to tell you and dad about the FIRST time he touched me and you turned me away and called me vile names and i remember one of the many words being disgusting, now when remembering this every time he touched me made me do “vile” things for him for her pleasure because you couldnt stomach the fact that he was raping me and help me out the situation. I after six year decided to run away because if you wouldn't help me I had to, and the job that you say made me trashie paid for very little college I attended to make you happy and to make you see that I wasn't the tramp and disgusting daughter you say I am. And for your information those words now stick with me to the point where I stayed in an abusive relationship that made me feel unworthy of any love.” Alexis began
“I am now in a very loving relationship that I have to constantly reassure myself that when her raises hand to just simply hug me I jump and I am so thankful that he is willing to one stay in this marriage with me but two handle the verbal and physical abuse you've displayed that you willingly do to me. I will not allow you to start putting that bull into my son's head so you will never see us again and if it is not visible to neither of you i am very much inlove with him and i love his son, our son deeply.” Alexis stated
Alexis and Gabriel take Leo to the car slamming the door behind them, once settled into the car Gabriel reaches his hand over to rub circles on her knee “Hey are you good?”
“Yea im fine lets just get back to the house.” Alexis replied
“First i want to ask you something?” Gabriel asked
Alexis nods her head
“Did you mean what you said about loving me or was that for show?” Gabriel asked
“I ment what I said but i can take it back if you want me to.” Alexis replied nervously
“I do love you i just was waiting for you to voice it.” Gabriel replied kissing her
