King Alejandro: The Return Of Her Cold-Hearted Alpha

Chapter 49

49 More Than He seemed 

KIARA

It was the day Enrique was leaving. The weather was cool, and although the sun was shining, it didn’t match the mood of the Rossi Mansion. Looking at him standing there with nothing but a small cross-body bag with some cash and a passport, broke my heart.

He was a child with his life ahead of him, but seeing the empty look in his eyes, it was like he had given up on his life. Kataleya stood hidden behind the front door. She didn’t say anything to him or try to meet him again, he had said nothing to her. I could hear her stifled s**s as she peeped out through the crack, knowing that this was the last time she’d see him. I hated seeing her in pain too… “Are you sure you don’t want the phone?” I asked, holding up the phone he had passed back to me.

“No thank you, Queen Luna.” He replied, his eyes cold.

“He doesn’t f*****g trust it.” Alejandro said, crouching down before the boy. “So, one of my men will take you to the airport, you get on the flight and you’re in Puerto Rico. Are you sure you’ll be ok once you’re there?”

I know he wasn’t keen on sending a ten-year-old alone, but everything was prepared and he’d be allowed onto the flight.

“Yes.”

Alejandro exhaled in defeat and nodded. “You’re a stubborn little f****r. Here’s my number, if ever you need it.” He handed him a black card and then held up a small velvet pouch. I heard Kataleya gasp from behind me and I wondered what happened. I was about to go check on her when Alejandro stood up. “Now I don’t want to force you or anything, but if my girl gives you a d**n gift, you keep it.” I looked at the small pouch in his hand, realising what he meant.

“I don’t want it.” Enrique replied coldly. “You haven’t got a f*****g choice, kid.” Alejandro growled, opening the boy’s bag and placing it inside. “Keep it.” I heard Kataleya’s footsteps retreating and looked at Enrique, who was frowning coldly at it. “I will throw it away when I get to Puerto Rico.” He spat, turning away from us. “Goodbye.” I said quietly, walking towards him. I placed my hand on his shoulder but he pushed it off and hurried towards the waiting car, getting in and slamming the car door shut after him. “Enrique…” “Let him go.” Alejandro said, quietly taking hold of my wrist. I looked up into his eyes, before nodding as I watched the car drive off.

“I’ll go to Kataleya.” I replied softly, pulling away. My daughter was in pain, I hated how things had ended.

Hurrying inside, I went to find her, only to spot her in the lounge. Delsanra had her arms around her, stroking her head soothingly. “It’s going to be ok, my little pot of cotton candy.” She comforted her. I could tell she was barely able to sit up by herself. We needed to figure everything out fast. I walked over to them, and sat on the other side of Kataleya, who was crying into Delsanra’s lap. “I’m sorry,” I whispered to her.

I knew she was hurting, but I didn’t know what more to say…

“Kataleya, boys are dumb. Come on! Do you want to go play?” Skyla tried, coming over to her sister.

“No Sky, I don’t want to play.” Kataleya whispered, trying to stifle her s**s.

Delsanra and I exchanged looks. I stroked Kataleya’s hair and at the same time placed my hand on Delsanra’s, allowing myself to heal her a little. “Don’t cry over him, Kat.” Dante added from the sofa, where he was lying down. “Don’t be mean, Dante.” Skyla scolded. Dante sighed heavily. “I’m not being mean.” He opened his eyes and looked at me with a thoughtful expression on his face, it unnerved me. I wasn’t sure why but it…

My heart began racing and I felt an odd surge of fear rush through me. Why though?

I stared back into his red eyes, unable to hear Kataleya crying any longer. It was as if I was being sucked into a burning abyss of power. He didn’t blink, just holding my gaze. My head felt like it was being crushed, the fear within me growing, but why? He was only looking at me.
