Chapter 72

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.

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