Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

“Why did you choose to defend her?” Katherine asked, and I rolled my eyes, not wanting to respond to the woman’s questions.

Her eyes met mine but the woman was quick to look down at her feet, avoiding my gaze, knowing that I didn’t want to talk to her.

“Enzo, are we going to keep ignoring one another for a long time?” She asked, lowering her voice, toning her attitude down. “I’ve missed you presence with me and so far, lately, all I find myself doing is trying to fix things that I don’t even know….

“You know very well that I don’t turn against you if not needed. But considering the fact that you don’t seem to know me very well, then the two of us can choose to stay away from one another…”

“I do not want to stay away:

you, Enzo.” She said, and I smirked, knowing that it was because of Alaria’s presence here. Had it been any other day, and had she known that there was no ‘competition‘ against her; the woman wouldn’t have cared. She never did before, I doubt that she should be doing so now.

“The two of us spent days not talking before. You even chose to ignore me for months before. Am I supposed to believe that…?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“You cheated on me, Enzo. I saw you kissing one of the whores. What was I supposed to do? Forgive and forget because of a diamond necklace and a few flowers?” She asked, stopping me. I looked away from her and she looked down at her feet, avoiding my eyes. “I’m sorry. I’ll and check on my son,”

She went to take a step back before I wrapped my hand around her arm, pulling her to my chest. I hugged her, taking her by surprise, and she froze for a moment, processing what was going on, before she wrapped her arms around me, allowing herself to give into my embrace.

“I know that I have been harsh on you. But I have a lot on my mind, and you just keep pressing on me.” I said, my voice softening as I looked at her. I knew that she would end

trying to cause a problem with Alaria, and right now, until at least I managed to have the custody of Ashton. I was going to need to be sure that things went smoothly.

“You could at least speak to me, Enzo. I am not going to read that you have so much on your mind.” She said, and I nodded. The two of us have been married for five years and yet, the woman couldn’t even understand my facial expressions when I spoke to her. I shouldn’t expect her to know when I was annoyed and when I wasn’t.

“Don’t worry, baby. You just go and tend to Alonso. We haven’t seen him since he got back from school and after what happened at the ceremony, I am still very disappointed in him.” I said, letting her know that this wasn’t something that I was going to ignore. She nodded and I watched as she took a step

back. giving me the ‘space‘ that I needed without responding. She walked out of the room, and I rolled my eyes as they hardened again.

I walked out to the balcony a lit a cigarette, taking a whiff of it before blowing it into thin air. And as I caught sight of Alaria who was walking around in the garden with Ashton, I couldn’t help but find myself remembering that man that she was with.

My new partner.

Damon.

Flashback:

“Wait, what do you mean that you’re retiring?” I asked Yaroslav, shaking my head in question. The fact that the man was leaving his position was the last thing that I expected, especially when I knew how much he’s worked hard to build everything that he had today.

“There is a lot for me to take care of now. I want to take a break and settle with my family. You know, Sabrina does deserve to see me with her, and Damon is old enough to take over things. He’s been trained to do so, and I personally believe that he can handle it.” He said, and I frowned, shaking my head in question at the man.

“Are you sure that you’re okay, Yaroslav? Don’t get me wrong, your son is going to be my partner as you are. We are going to carry off where you left things, but are you okay? Is there a reason that you’re choosing to leave everything that you worked on?” I asked, and

he smile.

“You know that there comes a time when a man grows tired of the run, the fighting, and

enemies. While I know that my son is going to face major challenges, I am sure that he is capable of them.” He said, looking at Damon. The man’s eyes were on me, but he smiled as he heard his father, looking at him as he processed his compliment, soaking it, allowing it to sink into his mind.

“Understandable.” I said, choosing to respect the man’s decision in front of his son. I doubted that he was going to tell me anything in his presence.

I looked at Damon before nodding, watching as the man smirked at me.

“Well, let’s hope that this partnership brings out the best of things, shall we?”

End of Flashback.

Whatever that man was doing with her, I didn’t know.

But I knew that I was going to break that wing before she started flying with another man again. I wasn’t going to allow her to take my son from me, and I surely wasn’t going to allow another man to raise him as his own.

“I’ll wait and see what you are on about, Alaria.” I muttered, keeping my eyes on her and Ashton as she carried him in her arms. A moment that I rarely ever saw between Katherine and Alonso. “Until then, I’ll

be sure to keep you grounded…”
