Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Enzo:

I watched as Alaria stood in front of Ashton’s school, waiting for him.

I cleared my throat as I walked toward her, and she frowned as she turned to face me.

“I am not leaving, as you may know and have seen, my son is in school.” She said, as her eyes hardened with each word that she spoke. Our eyes met, and I shook my head as I looked down at my feet, avoiding her eyes momentarily.

“I know that that you didn’t do it,” I said, and she frowned in confusion. “It was Katherine.”

“What?” She asked, clearly trying to process what she was hearing. “Enzo, you can’t be

serious?”

“She doesn’t know that I know,” I said, and she shook her head as a low laugh escaped her lips as she refused to believe what I was telling her. “I found out about it from one of the maids. She told me about it,”

“Mama!” Ashton called, breaking our conversation. Alaria turned to look at him, and I watched as she got down on her knees in front of him, wrapping his arms around him, hugging him tightly. He hugged her back and kissed her cheek.

I took a step back, giving them their privacy for a second before the two of them pulled away. He looked at me for a moment as his eyes lit up. His next word making my chest ache as I felt myself growing small. I didn’t even know how to respond to the small word, and the fact that I didn’t even believe that I deserved to be called by it, not by him at least, didn’t mak it easier for me.

“Papa!” He walked toward me, and Alaria stood, watching as he walked toward me, hugging me. I hugged him back and lifted him in my arms, kişsing his cheek. I didn’t even know how to tell him that I was sorry for kicking both him and his mother out. I didn’t know where they stayed, and I didn’t know how he felt after it. Where he got his clothes. The number of questions that played in my head didn’t make anything any easier. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“How are you, kiddo?” I asked, and he smiled.

“I am good. I had a good day at school!” He said, making me smile. “Are we going to come home? Mama said that we would be staying for a while…”

“Not yet, son. We have to fix the house first before you can come.” I said, stopping him. Ashton pouted, and Alaria took a deep breath as I put him down.

“Do you want us to go and get something to eat? I don’t want to go back when he hasn’t caten anything.” Alaria asked, looking down at Ashton.

“Where are you staying?” I asked, voicing out the question that’s been playing in my head.

“A friend,” she said, and I raised an eyebrow.

“Auntie Yildez’s house,” Ashton answered, and Alaria shook her head in response. Her eyes met mine, and I raised an eyebrow.

“We can go and get something to eat,” I said, and she nodded. We walked toward my car. and I watched as Alaria put Ashton to sit in the backseat, fastening his seatbelt before she walked to the front seat, sitting beside me. “Do you have anywhere in mind…?”

“We are going to need to talk.” She said, stopping me. “But I believe that the school is not the best option.”

“Then I am going to take you to the penthouse.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.

“What are we going to do in a penthouse, Enzo?” She asked, and I smiled.

“You are going to stay there for a while. It is going to be safer for you, and I believe that it ist better than staying in Yildez’s house for too long. The last thing that you want is to

find yourself annoying the woman when you stay in her house for too long.” I said, and she frowned.

“Why would I be annoying…?”

“You know that every man in the room looks at you, and let’s not start with him not being too loyal, Alaria.” I said, and she took a deep breath. I had to ignore the pain that I was feeling in my chest, a pain that I knew wasn’t going to resolve itself easily. And I knew that only Alaria was going to be the one to be willing to listen without judging me. To least, I knew that she was the only one who understood me.

She didn’t say a word as she looked at Ashton through the rear mirror, and I nodded.

“I take it that you have no objections.” I said, and she shook her head. I frowned in confusion, but I chose to wait for what she was going to tell me as I looked at the street, focusing on it.

“I have every single objection to make. And I think that you know my reasons, but I also know that I have a son, a child, and the last thing that I am going to do is put him in a situation where he could be in threat of being thrown out where I didn’t want him to be.” She said, and I nodded, knowing that she was tired.

“Good, then you have no objections, and you are going to be staying in the penthouse.” I said, and she scoffed.

“For now,” she said, looking at me. “I am going to leave with my son when I find a right place for us to stay in. But don’t worry, you won’t need to have the city boarders guarded, I won’t be taking him anywhere.”

She stayed quiet for a moment as her heart raced. “But I am curious about what you are going to tell me right now. Because it seems to me that there is a lot that you have on your mind.”

I looked at the rear mirror, my eyes catching sight of my son who was smiling at me.

“When we get to the penthouse. For now, let him see the two of us in smiles.” I said, taking a deep breath. “There would be plenty of time to truly discuss matters later…”
