Chapter 62

Enzo:

“The two of us are working through a partnership. And hopefully, something a little more intimate in the far future.” Damon said in the video.

Alaria’s eyes widened in surprise as she heard the man’s words before she took my phone from my hand, her anger obviously clear in her eyes.

“That fucking bastard…”

“You never mentioned a partnership between the two of you…”

“That is because there is no fucking partnership, Enzo!” She snapped, stopping me. “I told him that I was to stay the fuck out of his work. I told him that I wasn’t going to go against YOU while working with him. He goes around spreading false…

“Alaria…”

“What?” She asked, snapping at me. I took a step back, not saying a word for a second before shaking my head as I took a deep breath.

“You need to calm down.”

“After what the bastard just said. Doesn’t he see the consequences of his actions? Me coming here has paparazzi following: no matter how discrete. Do you believe that they are going to leave me alone now? I have my son to protect and I am going to be worried about a bunch of…”

“They are not going to touch you or Ashton, Alaria, but you are going to need to breathe. Ashton is going to hear you in the living room.” I said, stopping her. She took a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose as she did. She didn’t say a word for a moment before she shook her head.

“I shouldn’t have come here in the first place.” She said, and I looked away from her.

“While I understand your annoyance…

SEMANA OURO ® X Cans villy [:39 “I am going to put my son in danger of being hassled around by a press that is going to want to put me on pin point. It is one that I never wanted him to go through. I am living with you. the two of us are, more or less, co–parenting, and that is something that WE chose to keep from them. Do you really believe that this is something that they are going to drop now? And if he speaks of this as if it is the most normal thing, don’t you think that he would…?”

“If he thinks that he is smart, then the two of us are going to be smarter, Alaria.”

“He is trying to turn YOU against me. He knows the boundaries of our rules and ways, and he knows, as well as he knows his name, that this is going to set the two of us against one another. It is what he wants.” Alaria said, looking down at her feet as she pinched the bridge of her nose. I looked at her for a second, debating on what we could do.

I knew that she was being honest. She wasn’t the type to lie to cover for things anyway, and she knew, regardless of the situation, with him being an Alpha, we were of the same rank. The man was allowed to be with her IF the two of them wanted it. And I had no right to stop them, I wouldn’t even take my son if that was the case. At least, not without a fight.

“Well, as long as you knew that, why didn’t you tell me that he approached you?” I asked, and she raised an eyebrow.

“You’re really questioning my decisions now, Enzo?” She asked, shaking her head in question. “I don’t even have to answer to you. But I am being kind enough to do so, respecting the fact that you are my son’s father, and there is also the fact that I have enough respect for you not to involve myself with your partner.”

“The man is playing a tough game of revenge. He aims for it because I chose to ignore an idea that he wanted. I had him dismissed in front of the men, all of us have agreed on something, he doesn’t seem to believe that we are right. I have to admit, I didn’t expect him to take it out on you.” I said, and she took a deep breath. “But I know what we can do to play his own game.

“You are going to play a game of media?” Alaria asked, and I smirked. The woman really did. know me well.

“Do you have a better option? We haven’t been seen together since you came, and I believe. that it is about time that we announce that we are co–parents. Ashton is not going to stay hidden in the dark, and being my heir…”

11:39 “The two of us know that he is no bastard. I would rather be stabbed in the gut than to believe that you would be lying about something like that. And even IF I did see you sleeping with another man, I would claim that my eyes lied. That I was drunk.” I said, shrugging my shoulders.

Alaria kept her eyes on mine, and for the first time since she came to the house, she seemed to relax.

It was as if a weight on her shoulders dropped, and I knew that it was due to what I said.

“How are you so sure?” She asked, shaking her head in question. I smirked, shrugging my shoulders as I did.

“You are not the only one in this relationship, regardless of how it was and how it ended, that knew me well. I know who you are, and I know your ways. You are not a backstabber nor are you a liar. It is something that I respect in you.” I said, and she smiled, looking down at her feet.

“It took you five years…”

“It took me a day after I got married.” I said, stopping her. Alaria’s eyes widened, and I looked at the living room door where Ashton was sitting on the couch as one of the maids. told him a story to keep him busy. “I’ll be waiting in the car for you. I think that joining for breakfast would be the best option for us to start with our plan. And judging by the circumstances, you know that the press would be a little more excited with the news of seeing the two of us together…”
