Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa (Alaria and Alpha Enzo) novel Chapter 1

Prologue

“Enzo, what did I do to deserve this?” Alaria asked, looking at her husband with wide eyes as she walked inside his office. She put the file that contained the divorce papers on his desk in front of him, shaking her head in question as she did.

Alpha Enzo didn’t bother flinching nor look up from the paper that he was reading for the business deal that he wanted to make. The one thing to indicate that he was aware and annoyed of her presence was the fact that he clenched his fist around the pen that he was holding.

“I tried to stop her from coming in, Alpha, she refused…”

“Get out, Matias,” Alpha Enzo said, stopping his beta from saying another word. The lawyer was already outside, waiting for them, and seeing the beta walk out of the room, he knew to give the husband and his wife the privacy that they needed to sort things out.

“How much do you want?” He asked, making the woman frown.

“Enzo, do you think that I am asking for your…?”

“How much do you f**king want to sign these divorce papers?” He asked, stopping the woman. He looked up at her for the first time, and the woman, his wife, the wife whose been married to him for nearly three years, and she saw his disgust and hate in his eyes. The pain that she had in her eyes was one that he saw, but he didn’t care nor did he bother.

“Enzo, what did I do to deserve this? At least explain to me why you want a sudden divorce.” She said, looking at the man as she tried processing what he was asking her.

“A million.”

“This is not a bargain that I am going to make, Alpha.” She said, glaring at the man. Her stomach ached, and she was forced to calm herself down, reminding herself that she needed to stay calm. That what she was doing would be more harmful to her than it would be beneficial.

“Two.”

“Enzo, I have my own money and do not need yours to sign a stupid piece of paper. But I deserve to know why you want me to sign it when I was…”

“You know well enough that you don’t have the liquidity that I can give you. Therefore, do not act as if you do.” He said, stopping her. Her heart raced, and the man stood from his chair, his eyes harder than ever at the woman that had her eyes welling up with tears.

Her hands shook, and though she knew that he was right, the last thing that she was going to do was allow him to insult her with money. It was something that she was against, and that was something that he knew.
