Chapter 55
Alaria:
“Bye, mama!” Ashton said, waving his hand at me. I smiled and waved back, watching as he walked inside his school before turning to my car.
I still needed to find a proper office, and at this point, it was becoming urgent.
“You’re still angry with me,” Damon’s voice broke my attention.
I looked down at my feet for a second, and I sighed. “You’ve been avoiding my calls and messages. You haven’t even bothered to look at me, nor did you….”
“What do you want from me, Damon?” I asked, stopping the man. “You have so much to do, and yet, you still seem to find yourself lurking around me.”
I still couldn’t find myself explaining why Enzo kissed me. His lips against mine tore me apart, especially after I saw him with his wife. Whether or not she knew was beyond me, but I was angry. I just didn’t know who I was angry with or what the reason truly was this time.
“I didn’t mean to offend you, Alaria. Though I don’t know what I could have done to do so, but understand that…”
“You were trying to get your partner’s ex wife to work with you.” I said, stopping him. He looked down at his feet, avoiding my eyes and I shook my head. “Why me?”
“You are the one weakness that he has.” He said, and I raised an eyebrow. “The mystery that no one knows of, and the one person that everyone wants to understand.”
“And that means?” I asked, shaking my head in question. “Don’t get me wrong, but how does that even concern you? You know, for someone who doesn’t know who I am, doesn’t know my story, and…”
“I don’t know your story, but rumors were heard.” He said, stopping me. “While you might not trust my intentions, I do not expect you to, I do believe that the two of us can get the revenge that any woman in your place would seek.”

“I do not seek for revenge. I aim for peace. I have had enough of a fuss my whole life to be dealing with more pain, and I have a son to take care of. The last thing that I am going to do is play the fantasy of a man like yourself over something that I neither understand, nor do I want to.” I said, stopping him. He took a deep breath and I shook my head in question, waiting for what he was going to say.
“You know that there is no peace in this, right? The man is not going to stop until he’s managed to break you, and if you think that you living with him and his wife is going to solve anything; you are just breaking yourself and wasting your life.” He said, making my stomach churn. I had to admit, I knew that he was right.
“It doesn’t concern you what I do with my life, Damon.” I said, and he nodded.
“You don’t even know me to care about whether or not I was broken. Plus, what’s in it for you?” I asked, and he frowned. “Don’t play stupid, nothing comes free, and you don’t know me to try and think of helping me. Don’t think that I am going to fall for these games either. So, now, I am going to ask, what the fuck is in it for you? Because I know as well as I know my name that you are not doing this out of good will.”
