Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Chapter 64

Enzo:

I watched as Alaria stood in front of the fountain, teaching Alonso what it was to throw a coin inside the fountain and make a wish.

“Now throw your coin and make a wish. Close your eyes, but tell anyone what that wish is.” Alaria said, smiling at Ashton. He did as she said before he turned to look at her with a a bright smile on my face.

“Did you make a wish?” I asked, watching the little boy’s bright smile.

“YES!” He said, making my heart swell with a feeling that I didn’t understand.

“Do not tell anyone your wish. It is breaking the rules.” Alaria whispered, shaking her head. Ashton pretended to seal his lips, and I chuckled, shaking my head at her.

“You still believe in that?” I asked, and she shrugged.

“Sometimes it is best to hold onto good memories and moment, right?” She asked, and I nodded. It was indeed the best thing that one could do for himself. Holding onto a past that brought peace.

“Do you want to take a seat? I believe that we might be late?” I asked, and she nodded.

The two of us sat at the table, and I couldn’t help, but find myself feeling at ease. It was one that I knew that I hadn’t felt in a very long time. The pain of it was one that clenched my chest, but I was thankful to be able to be feel it. To say the least, I was able to be peaceful for

now.

“When was the last tthat you chere?” Alaria asked, and I shook. my head.

“I don’t remember.” I said, choosing to keep the fact to myself. The last time that I chere was with her. I never bothered coming here after the divorce. I didn’t want to be seen. in the place that I was seen happy with her. Not when I knew that I wasn’t happy with Katherine. Not when I was regretting her as my wife.

“Did you chere?” I asked, and she shook her head.

“No, I didn’t. I chere after the divorce. I left the city and never bothered coming here. It was easier not to hold onto the memories.” She said, and I nodded in understanding. I understood what she wanted to say, and I understood that she didn’t want to hold onto pain. It was one that even I tried to forget. And I couldn’t imagine how she would have felt when she was alone away from her hand away from what she knew all her life.

“What is the plan that you have in mind?” She asked, raising an amused eyebrow. “I know that the two of us being seen together is going to hold gossip. But…”

“The two of us are going to deny all the rumors. Us being together is going to end things for him. But in a smarter way.” I said, and she raised an amused eyebrow, shaking her head in question. She crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for what I was going to say. I ran my finger over the table, pretending to draw, and I knew that things would be growing intense.

“Would you be interested to be my partner?” He asked, making my eyes wide. “It would help you and Ashton, and though I know that you don’t need it, but I want you to be by my side. This is going to break Damon and his plans.”

Her eyes studied my expression, and I knew that she was fighting to find the right decision to make. “I know that you don’t want to make

any irrational decisions, and I know that you are worried about how things would be…”

“I am mostly worried about the fact that you are married, Enzo. And don’t get me wrong. but Katherine is not the easy wife to deal with. She is going to try infiuencing Alonso against his brother, and it is already hard forto keep him hwithout worrying.” She said, looking down at Ashton.who was carrion coloring the dinosaur that was in front of him.

Our eyes met for a moment, and I couldn’t help the smile that was on my face. He smiled. and went back to his coloring.

The mention of Katherine was growing annoying and more painful to me. The idea of her sleeping with another man, as my wife and even before, the threat and doubt ofbelieving that Alonso wasn’t even my son was one that I was bothered with.

I couldn’t show it, but I vowed to protect my child. The one heir that I knew for certain that I had.

“He is going to be safe from all harm. I give you my word that I am going to protect him from anyone who is going to think of harm him.” I said, and she shook her head. She took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of her nose. She looked down at the plate in front of her and I knew that she was doubting herself, and I knew that she was doubting what she wanted to tell me.

“Can you givetto think? Tto at least calculate my moves?” She asked, and I nodded. I knew that she was right, and I knew that she had every right to want to protect her only child.

“He is our blessing, our present, and I know that you have done your best to protect him. I won’t rush you into deciding anything when it could risk his safety. But mark my word that my heir will be safe from all harm.” I said, and she frowned.

“I believe that you are referring to Alonso?” She asked, and I shook my head.

“I am referring to the one person who I can truly call my heir.” I said, looking at Ashton. His eyes met mine and he smiled, makingsmile. “I am referring to Ashton, Alaria…”
