“What do you have in mind?” Ezio asked, shaking his head at me.

“I don’t know what to think, Ezio. All I know right now is the fact that I need to think. If I tell Enzo about what I heard, the man is not going to believe me, he is not going to look at me, he won’t spare me a second thought, and I know that he is going to ignore every word that I tell him.” I said, and he sighed, running his hands over his temple, knowing that he understood well enough the mistakes that could go wrong in this. They were countless, and I didn’t know how things were going to be.

“You need to understand that he is going to put you in a hard spot. You speaking to Enzo about this is only going to put you in a doubting spot, and trust me when I say that this point is going to be an end, and it won’t be or you alone. You are going to end up harming Ashton,” he said, making my heart ache.

“He is going to be living the lie until…”

“The truth is often uncovered in its own time. You don’t need to interfere for it to be coming out. But what you need to do is be patient for it do so. You speaking, you being angry, you showing your anger, you are only going to end

up…”

”

“The woman broke my home and life for a lie, Ezio. Yes, I always was in love with Enzo, I will not lie about it, but the man looked at someone else because she claimed to have carried his child…”

“Then he is going to be the one to find out about it. If you tell him, you are going to give her the chance to hide it. If he had a paternity test tampered with before, then you are going to allow her to do it again. The truth doesn’t hide for too long, that is something that you need to understand, he is going to find out about it. Him finding out about it from you, regardless of you knowing, regardless of you hearing of it first, you are ONLY going to harm yourself, sister.” He said, repeating himself again. I looked at Ashton who entered the room.

His eyes were bright as he ran inside with a butterfly in his hand. I didn’t even understand how he managed to catch the little insect. The little thing flew the second he opened his hand, and I laughed, shaking my head at him.

“Now I am curious about how you are planning on sending it back outside. You know, you have it inside the house

now.” I said, and he laughed.

“We will give it food, flowers, and she is going to come to them. We will free her when she goes,” he said, and I shook my head as a small smile played on my lips. The smile made his

eyes brighten when he saw how happy I was. Little did he know was the fact that I was burning inside with the number of things that I had in mind. They

were countless, and I knew that even he didn’t deserve to live though.

His eyes met mine, and I took his hand in mine, gently kissing his palm. He smiled as he looked at me, and I ran my finger over his hand before he took a step back.

“Go and freshen up, baby before you get dinner. And don’t tell mama that you don’t want to eat, you have to get

A

something to eat before you to sleep, baby,” I said, and he pouted, making me laugh.

“Come on, Ashton. You know that your mother is right, you being stubborn is not going to get you anywhere, little one. You are going to need to freshen up and we are all going to eat. We are all hungry and we are all waiting for you.” Ezio said, and Ashton nodded. He walked toward the maid as to take him to the bathroom

I looked at my brother, and put his hand on mine, gently squeezing it for me. I looked down at his hand and he sighed, not saying a word, my chest ache and he smiled softly.

“I know that you are scared and I know that things are messed up, but you need to be patient, sister. You are going to need to understand that thing’s are not solved over impulsive actions, and you are not going to…

“I know what you are going to say, Ezio, but things are more complicated than that. I know that Enzo is not going to want to hear it, but he has been raising the boy as his own, and he is not to blame. Alonso is a child, he was put in this situation, but Katherine, how could a woman be that cold?” I asked, shaking my head in question.

“She is the same woman who tried to blame you for burning the Estate with her son in the house and many innocent lives, Alaria.” He said, making my heart drop to my stomach. “If Enzo can’t see it, Alaria, you are not going to be able to show it to him. You are not going to be able to prove something to him that he doesn’t want to see or

understand”

“Things between the two of you ended a long time ago. You are going to need to understand that he is not going to want to get back to you, not like this, sister.” He said, and I looked away from him as I took a deep breath.

“You know that I don’t want to get back to him, Ezio. Yes, I love him, but the way he let go of me.

He took my hand in his and gently kissed my knuckle, letting his lips linger there as he stopped me. Mom walked inside as he was doing so, and I sighed as he pulled away

“You are my sister, my life, and I am not going to allow anyone to hurt you. No matter who they are, but the last thing that I want is for YOU to put yourself in a rough situation.” He said, getting up from the couch. He cupped mom’s cheeks and kissed her temple as he reached her before he walked toward the door.

“What are the two of you going on about?” Mom asked, “I find myself curious?”

“We were just talking” I said, getting up from the couch. “I’ll see you at dinner, mother. That is, of course, if my son and I are welcome on your table, if not, then I am more than willing to leave…”

She wrapped her hand around my arm, stopping me from leaving the room, and I looked at her, waiting for what

she was going to tell me

“You are being strange, and I am curious about the reason. However, I will not ask questions. I would rather not fuss myself with your nonsense.” She said, and I looked away from her for a moment. “I just hope that you don’t drag yourself and your brother to the ground. Because I believe that you understand that no one is going to be

around to protect you”

“You know well enough, mama, that I never waited for anyone to keep me safe to begin with.” I said, watching as she let me go. “Excuse me, I have my son to check on.”
