Chapter 35

Enzo:

“I see,” I said, tapping my desk twice as I spoke on the phone. “Did she give you a reason to why she was selling it?”

“Not at all, sir. She just said that she wanted to sell it.” The jeweler stated, and I hummed in response. I stared into space, getting lost in a few thoughts before opening my mouth to speak.

“Don’t worry about it, it must have been something that she told me when I was busy.” I said, choosing not to press on the subject with a stranger. He wouldn’t know what her reason was anyway. She wasn’t foolish to give it to strangers. “If there’s anything else like this, let me know before giving her the money.”

“Yes, sir.” He said, and I hung up. I kept my eyes on my laptop, thinking, knowing that I was going to need to get into this. Katherine wasn’t going to sell the things that I give her without me knowing of it, and I surely wasn’t going to let things slide. If she needed money, she had her card, she could use it. If she needed cash, withdrawing was easy from any ATM.

“What are you up to, Katerina?” I asked, voicing out my thoughts.

The office door was knocked, and I took a deep breath before calling. “Come in.”

Leonardo walked inside with a few files. He put them on my desk, and I shook my head in question, waiting for an explanation on what these were. I knew that we were going to have tons of work today, but I didn’t expect to be receiving files.

“These are the papers that you requested for, boss. You asked the accountant for the financial reports when it came to Petrov. Damon taking up his father’s place has caused a bit of a fuss, and you know, we needed to make sure that it didn’t affect us.” He said, and I nodded. I still didn’t know how this man was going to be able to attend meetings and auctions with us. He was an amateur, and we all knew that Yaroslav never let him in on most of what he did. Therefore, I couldn’t understand why he chose to allow him into this the way that he did.

“Ah, yes, the new mess to deal with.” I said, and Leonardo chuckled. “I also heard that Alaria MOVIMENTO VIVARA Emergency calls onlybd *D 100%

“Alaria will not do something that would risk hurting her son.” I said, not bothering to look up from the files. She wasn’t Katherine, I knew that she wouldn’t mind throwing his benefit for hers. It was one of the main differences between her and Alaria. “But at least someone to keep her safe is good. There’s another thing that I am going to need you to look into.”

“What’s going on?” Leonardo asked, shaking his head in question. Being my beta and second hand, he knew that he was the one man that I trusted with everything that I had. He knew his job well and he was my best friend. I knew that what I was to tell him was often going to be taken care of without me double checking.

“Katherine sold one of her jewel sets. The emerald one to be more specific.” I said, and he frowned in confusion. He knew that our women didn’t sell their thing, not when they had unlimited accounts. But when they did, it meant that they were up to something. “I want to know where that money went, who she gave to, if she did, and why. She is going to be alert, and with her being pregnant, I don’t want to put her or the baby in danger. But we are going to find out what is going on from our side.”

“Katherine is pregnant?” Leonardo asked, and I nodded. This was the last thing that I needed right now.

Though it was an Alpha’s pride, with a woman like Katherine, I didn’t know what game she was trying to play.

“Yes,” I said, looking out the window for a second. “We found out about it yesterday. Bella told me that she was. I’ll need to take her to the hospital in a few days to check on how the baby is doing, how far she is, and how her health is too. We will need to prepare things and the house as well. You know, with a new baby coming, we are going to have a lot to set for.”

“Suddenly we are having a child every few weeks,” he teased, referring to Ashton and now Katherine. I shook my head, pinching the bridge of my nose. Ashton didn’t even know that he was my son, and I had no idea how I was going to tell him that he was. Alaria was trying to find a way to do so, I could tell by what I heard when I passed their room. I hated to compare, but I saw how involved she was with her son compared to Katherine. And I couldn’t help but wish that my wife was a spec of what Alaria was with her own child.

“Tell me about it,” I said, getting up from the desk.

“Where are you going?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I have a meeting in a bit. I’ll tend to these files later and then we will decide on how we are going to be dealing with things when it comes to Damon. The man is unexperienced and could be a threat, but there should be a reason to why Yaroslav put him in his place. I intend to solve that problem soon enough. It is one of the reasons why we are going to see Yarolsav tonight.”

“Does he know?” He asked, and I smirked.

“He doesn’t have to.” I said, heading to the door. “Just find out where he is. If it is the hotel, then we’re good. If it is his home, then we are going to have to deal with this situation differently…”
