Chapter 56

Katherine:

I watched as Enzo got ready for the day.

The man hasn’t spoken to me since the other day, and for a moment, I did think that he would tell me that he was to decide against the ultrasound.

To my rotten luck, he didn’t.

“Alonso has school…”

“I already told them that we were going to the hospital. He was coming with us. You don’t need to worry about it.” Enzo said, stopping me. It was the first full sentence that he’s told me in though I couldn’t help but find myself being angry with him, I had to days, admit that I did miss him speaking to me. The bond that the two of us had seemed to perish under the weight of everything that we were going through, and it was painful for 1. me.

“Enzo, you’re avoiding talking to me….

“You know my reasons,” he said, stopping me. “Now, get ready, we are leaving in a bit.”

He walked out of the room without saying a word, and I couldn’t help but find myself tearing up. The fear that I had of today was one that I couldn’t describe, but I knew that I was going to have to play along. Whatever was going to happen; I was just going to have to deal with it.

I put on my mascara and walked out, knowing that there was no escaping this now. The man had his canines buried deep inside my neck. Testing my luck, with Alaria here, was not something that I was going to be able to do. He was only going to run to her.

My eyes met hers, and she raised an eyebrow at me. I walked toward her, my anger getting the best of me.

“Do you have no dignity?” I asked, shaking my head in question. She crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for what I had to say. I was still shocked about how she managed to speak SEMANA OURO 11/03 A 31/03/2024 APROVEITE Emergency calls only $0 100%

11:38 to Alonso. Hell, the boy was going to her room to study now, and it happened EVEN when I was in the house.

“Do you want to tell me what you’re going on about? Or are you going to allow me to leave? As I have things to do and judging by your outfit, so do you.” She said, her tone colder than it has ever been. The calmness that she was in annoyed me. I couldn’t even frame her for making me lose the baby.

“My son said that he didn’t want you around him. He left the room furious with you! He was crying…

“Then the mistake is on you if you think that I would have left a child, no matter how old they are, feeling broken over adult conversations.” She said, stopping me. “You broke the boy’s trust in himself first, then in me. You as his mother should have been his boost. instead, you were the reason why he was in pain. I chose not to comment. I chose to play along ONE fact and that is the fact that you are jealous of a friendship that has formed between two siblings. And though I don’t understand how a mother could…”

“They are not siblings. You can name them out to be as much as you want, they are never going to be brothers!” I said, stopping her. The fact that she believed that my son could be related to hers annoyed me, and the idea of her looking me in the eye, voicing out that he was, it was even more annoying.

“As long as Enzo breathes, and as long as he lives on this world. As long as I, his mother, am his back, Ashton is Enzo’s son, and that means that he is Alonso’s brother. Whether or not you are going to accept it, I don’t care. But you know for fucking fact that Enzo knows that Ashton is his son. Had that been a different case, there would have been a thousand different ways that…”

“He doesn’t know anything. He is his ‘spare‘ until I give him his second heir.” I said, stopping her. I put my hand on my stomach, and Alaria raised an eyebrow at me. She took a deep breath and shook her head.

“You can give him not one, not two, but a thousand different children; you are going to soon understand that none of them would be mine. And that he is never going to look at them as he would look at MY child.” Alaria said, looking me dead in the eye. “Now, I suggest that you run along and find yourself a different hobby to deal with. I have more important things to work on, and neither one of them include an obsessed…”

“You kissed my husband and you call me obsessed? You are the reason…”

SEMANA OURO OX APROVEITE Emergency calls only “He kissed me.” She said, stating the fact that I knew all too well. I didn’t want to admit it, but I knew that she was right. “If there is anyone to speak to about it, have the courage to speak to him. Now, get the hell out of my sight.”

She walked past me without bothering to look at me, and I took a breath. She was my last. hope, but even that seems to have failed.

I walked toward Enzo, whose eyes were fixed on Alaria as she walked out the door.

“The woman was outside a while ago, and she is leaving again?” I asked, breaking his train of thoughts. The last thing that I wanted was for his gaze to be fixed on her. I didn’t want to think nor did I want to consider what he could be thinking about her.

“She is neither a child, nor am I her father.” Enzo said, making me frown. Had it been me, the man would have made me regret it. “Are you ready? Alonso is already in the car waiting for us. I was just coming here to get you…”
