Chapter 69
Alaria:
“Thank you for allowing us to stay, Yildez.” I said, and she smiled.
“Alaria, you know that our doors are open for you. You can stay here as much as you want and need. It is a shame what happened to the two of you. The house, how is everyone? Alonso?” She asked, and I shook my head.
At this point, I didn’t even want to talk about this. Whatever has happened, happened. Katherine got what she wanted in the end, Enzo kicked my son and I out on the streets. I was lucky that I didn’t depend on any of them, but I didn’t know how I was going to manage things.
“We were out when it happened, we barely got the call from Katherine.” I said, and she nodded.
“What about Ezio? Your brother? He lives close, you can’t call him to help you out? The idea of being out in the street…”
“You don’t need to worry about me in the street. Today was just a mess, and it was too late to be going to a hotel with a child. I just need two days to process what happened before I find us a new place.” I said, and she nodded.
“You won’t be going back to…
“A little difficult to do so when my little one just managed to process everything that happened. You know, he barely got used to things here, taking him elsewhere now is going to be hard for him.” I said, and she nodded.
Thankfully, Ashton was asleep in the room assigned for two of us. I ran my fingers through my hair, and I couldn’t help but find myself pulling the roots gently. “I hate saying this, but I know that I shouldn’t have come here.”
“No, no, don’t say that. Things are going to brighten up again. But you are going to need to calm down and gather your strength. You are a strong woman, you know that you can easily. do so.” She said, and I smiled, the pain evident in my eyes. “There are rumors going

around.”
“You and the gossip, Yildez.” I said, and she laughed.
“Come on, we might as well enjoy the night the way that we are. I know that you are tired. and the day has been long for you. I believe that a few glasses of wine and gossip always make a woman smile. In a way or another, you can smile and laugh.” She said, and I laughed, pinching the bridge of my nose at the woman. Her eyes met mine and she raised an amused eyebrow.
“So, you and Damon?” She asked.
“No,” I said, shaking my head at her. “The two of us barely spoke about a few businesses. He wanted me as a partner, but you know, that isn’t something that can happen.”
She got up to pour each one of us a glass of wine, and though I was quiet, I smiled as I took the glass from her, taking a sip out of it.
“I am neither worried about Enzo, nor is it the fact of not being mature. But the man is Enzo’s partner. You know, it wouldn’t be right to be siding against him when it comes to what he has in mind.” I said, and she nodded.
