Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa (Alaria and Alpha Enzo) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 

Katherine: 

“So the man never even bothered to marry you,” Jacob mocked as I stared at the ‘wedding‘ thing that was supposedly the bound to our relationship. The one thing that I got out of the stupid time of me being with Enzo. “And you still stuck around? I am curious, what were you waiting for?” 

“That doesn’t concern you.” I said, and Jacob scoffed. 

“How did you get the last name? You seem to be proud…” 

“I never did,” I said, looking away from him. “Not legally, on these stupid human papers, at least. He refused to even look at me for a long time when I brought Alonso over, then one day I had to seduce him into bed…” 

Flashback: 

“Alonso, go to sleep, baby. You are going to need to rest, and what you are doing to yourself and mommy is not very good. You are going to end up getting sick, and that is not something that I want.” I said, looking at my little boy. He was five at the time, little did I know that I was going to miss the peace that the two of us had before I chose to come to this place. 

“I don’t want to sleep, mama. When I sleep, you cry. I am going to stay awake with you,” he said, and my eyes softened. I lifted him in my arms and gently pulled him to my lap. 

“Mama doesn’t cry because you’re asleep, baby. I love it when you sleep because I know that you are going to grow big and strong, and one day, you are going to protect me just like I am protecting you,” I said, running my finger over his stomach, gently massaging it. “But I am going to need you to promise me that you are going to be good. I don’t want your father to be upset with you and I don’t want him to be looking at you differently.” 

“He does not like me?” Alonso asked, and I shook my head. 

“How can he not love you? You are the one person in this world that deserves all the good in this world.” I said, smiling at my child. The last thing that I ever expected was to find myself dealing with drifting away from him. I could have

sworn that connection that the two of us had was one that couldn’t break, not for anyone, and not for anything. How foolish of me to think so at the time. 

“Now come on, how about you lay down and close your eyes. Make your wishes and dreams, and then go to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a better, more beautiful, and brighter day.” I said, as I k*ssed the crown of his head. To think that one day, I was more than willing to give my life for him. How could I have known that I would be stooping as low as I did? How would I have guessed that I would be putting everything on the line simply not to lose the man who didn’t love me? 

I walked out of the room once I was sure that Alonso slept, and I couldn’t help but frown when I saw Enzo standing by the door. His eyes met mine for a moment and I looked away from him when I found the paternity test in his hand. It was a risk, but I knew that I had to take it for my son. I wasn’t going to risk him getting harmed by the man’s anger. 

He pulled out a black box from his pocket. He handed it to me, and I frowned in confusion when I opened it and found a diamond wedding ring. 

“If anyone asks, the two of us eloped. We are going to play the game of husband and wife, and you are going to act as one.” He said, and I frowned. 

“We could actually go ahead and elope. We don’t even need a wedding if that is what you don’t…” 

“This ring is the ONE bound that the two of us would have,” he said, stopping me. “Don’t build any dreams that will not be a reality, and I don’t want you thinking that I am going to want more from you than this.” 

“Enzo…” 

“Have a good night, Katerina.” He said, stopping me. “I’ll see you in the morning…” 

End of Flashback. 

“Well, at least, you managed to do one thing that was correct.” Jacob said, 

making my stomach churn. “But now we are going to have to deal with a few things, and they are going to involve you,”

“I am not going to do anything until I am sure that Alonso has healed. The two of us have risked a lot, and I don’t want him to be paying the price of the stupid games that you are going to end up playing. It is bad enough that we are in your home when he doesn’t understand why his father…” 

“Enzo is not his father,” he said, stopping me. 

“That is not what he knows,” I said, looking the man dead in the eye. “You are going to treat him accordingly, Jacob. He is a little boy, one who doesn’t understand why you are treating him the way that you are or why he is here. I am not going to put him through the idea of him having to understand something when he just left the hospital after a month and a half being in a coma.” 

“You should have thought of that before you…” 

“Would you have had another option?” I asked, and he scoffed. 

“I think that killing her would have been a lot easier, but then again, you aren’t the brightest of women, are you?” He asked, getting up from the couch. “Anyhow, go and take care of the child. The two of us can discuss matters later, and I think that you should start readying yourself too,” 

“For?” I asked, and he smirked. 

“You forgot already?” He asked, teasing me. I looked away from him as he neared my face, his hot breath hitting my cheek as he leaned in to kiss my jawline. “Do you want a reminder here? Or have you regained your memory?” 

I pushed him away and got up, making him chuckle. “I will be waiting for you tonight. I think that you best be ready…”
