Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa (Alaria and Alpha Enzo) novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Alaria:

“Do you want to tell me what’s going on, Enzo?” I asked, sitting at the dining table by his side as Ashton sat, watching his show.

He took a sip of the glass of water that I gave him. And I couldn’t help but find myself frowning when I saw how broken the man looked. I knew that I have never seen him in such a state before, and seeing how calm he was, how drained he looked, I couldn’t help but find myself wondering what he was thinking.

“I just need to sit here for a while. I didn’t know where to go, and I… didn’t

“Enzo, I didn’t ask about how long you’re staying here, what I asked was what was bothering you.” I said, stopping him. “This is your house, you are more than welcome to stay here as much as you want, I am the guest here, not you.”

He didn’t speak for a while, instead, he shook his head as he clearly debated, getting lost in his thoughts once again.

“Do you ever find yourself doubting every decision that you made? Wondering whether or not it was actually worth it?” He asked, and I looked away from him for a moment as I looked at my son. There were many times when that happened to me, especially when I first gave birth to Ashton by myself.

“I don’t think that there is a mother who hasn’t doubted herself, her decisions, and how she does things every once and a while.” I said, choosing my words carefully. He scoffed and nodded, looking down at the glass that he had in hand.

“At least you know that you are the mother of the child that you have. You don’t find yourself doubting who you are and what you always knew.” He said, making my heart drop.

“You found out?” I asked, voicing out my question. He froze, not saying a word for a moment before he shook his I head.

“You knew?” He asked, and I nodded.

“I found out earlier today. First, it was Damon in the morning. He threw the fact at me as if it was a weapon for me to use. Then Jacob showed up.”

“What?” Enzo asked, and I nodded, looking at Ashton. His eyes hardened and the pain that I saw in his eyes was now replaced by rage. “He did what?”

“I called Ezio at the time. It was one of the reasons why I came to the hospital. I couldn’t tell you, I didn’t know how to tell you when I was there.” I said, and closing my eyes as I tried to ignore the pain and anger that I felt. I didn’t even know how to deal with the situation as it happened, to be speaking to him about it was not something that I wanted to do right now.

“Did he hurt you?” He asked, and I shook my head.

“He wouldn’t dare. He was in front of Ashton’s school, and that is more of a concern to me. The man knows where my son goes to school, and I can’t stop him from going to school. I don’t want to scare the boy, but I know that things are going to end up being risky right now.” I said, and Enzo’s eyes hardened.
