Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

Alaria:

“Alright, baby, I want you to have a good day at school, okay? Mama will come and pick you up later.” I said, and he nodded. I kissed his cheek and walked out to frown when I saw Damon standing in front of me.

He walked toward me and I glared at the man, forcing myself not to punch him in the face after the lies and games that he pulled up in front of the media.

“You are going to step put of my sight before I make sure that your regret it, Damon.” I said, stopping him. He raised his hands in mock surrender, and I shook my head, wanting to

walk past him.

He wrapped his hand around me, stopping me. I looked around me to find parents with their kids, some looked at us, others were busy with their families. I knew not to cause a scene in case one of them grew alert or alarmed.

“Don’t you at least want to know what I have to say?” He asked, and I shook my head.

“After your little lie, I doubt that I am going to want to believe one word that you are saying.” I said, and he smirked.

“I wanted to spare you the fuss of having to deal with a jealous woman, but it seems to me that you were more open to that.” He said, making me let out a sarcastic laugh. “It is about Katherine, and I can assume that you are going to be very interested in the information that you are about to hear. You

know, you can put her in a corner to get what you want from her and it is going to destroy Enzo. A win for you if you ask me.”

“I doubt that you should care about what I would be gaining and what a‘ ‘win‘ for me would be, would you?” I asked, and he smiled. “What do you really want to prove? Because the two of us know that you are not genuine toward me and the last thing that a man like you

would care about is me.”

“Indeed, I do not care about you, not yet anyway, as you are not allowing me to. But I do find you attractive, and sometimes a man does a lot, and is willing to do more than he

thought he would for the woman that he finds himself attracted to. Something that you seem to be failing to understand in me, but do not worry, I am going to prove it to you in my own way.” He said, and I rolled my eyes.

“You are going to prove nothing to me as I want nothing to do with a man like yourself, Damon.” I said, and he smiled.

“Yes, because you are so drawn toward the man who wants nothing to do with you. Who has lied and cheated on you, had a mistress…”

“I doubt that you were any better to any of your surroundings, but then again, I can be wrong.” I said, making his smile turn into a frown. “A man who is out for revenge is not one that I would associate myself with, especially when that revenge would harm me and my

child.”

“You mean benefit the two of you. By working with me, you are going to manage getting things done for the first time in your life. Rather than just standing back as you watch the

man grow over your back…”

“I would rather that I find myself dealing with less torment and bullshit by not dealing with the likes of yourself. It is not something that you would understand, but I believe that with a little effort, you might just get the hang of what I am going to tell you.” I said, and he took a deep breath.

His eyes studied my expression, and he raised an eyebrow.

“I wonder if you treat him the same way you’re treating me. A man like Enzo doesn’t seem to be the type to accept such an attitude, but you might be doing this because you know that I am not going to harm you. I doubt that it is the same case with Enzo.”

“We are standing in front of a children’s school, if you are done, allow me to leave as I have other things to tend to.” I said, changing the subject. Other parents were now turning to look at us, some were muttering amongst themselves, and others were pointing at us, clearly remembering the press conference that Damon had about the two of us.

“Then might as well go to a café. That is, if you are willing to be mature enough to sit on one table with me without feeling like…”

“I would rather not be anywhere with a man who chose to lie by claiming that the two of us

A

were going to be associates, were going to work together, and could possibly be love interests.” I said, and he frowned. This time all his calm demeanor seemed to leave him as his expression was now filled with pure anger and annoyance. I knew that this was not an answer that he expected.

“If you are done, I have other things to tend to for the day. Neither one of them include you barging into my schedule, and thanks to you, I am already late.” I said, wanting to walk past him. However, it was his next sentence that had my heart dropping to my stomach as I knew that a new turn of events was going to be taking place. And the idea of it being true was one thing that I did not want to put into account, especially when I knew the cost that it would be holding and the danger of what would come if it were a reality.

“Enzo has one son, and one son alone.” He said, forcing me to stop. “The others claimed as his own by Katherine are not his.”

He walked toward me, leaning to my shoulder, allowing his hot breath to hit my throat. “I think that this should be something that would catch your attention. Let it play and stir in your head for a while, we can see how you will make use of it now that you have the ball in your own field…”
