Chapter 89
Enzo:
“What is going on here?” Alaria asked, entering the kitchen to find me making breakfast.
The two maids who were here, stood back, helping me out with cleaning and setting the table. Alaria crossed her arms over her chest and I watched as she looked at Ashton, waiting to hear an explanation to what she saw. Truth be told, I didn’t have one, at least, not one that was going to convince her with an
answer that she wanted to hear.
“I am making breakfast today.” I said, and she scoffed, raising an amused eyebrow.
“The last time you entered the kitchen, you nearly burnt it to the ground, Enzo.” Alaria said, and my eyes widened. Ashton laughed, and the two maids had to look away to stop themselves from laughing.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I already made an egg for us. We are going to have breakfast together as a family.” I said, and she
sucked in a harsh breath as the smile that was on her face was almost instantly wiped out.
“I have work to go and get ready for,” she said, wanting to take a step back. I looked at the maids and my eyes hardened as I nodded at them to take care of things while I walked toward her. I wrapped an hand
around her arm, pulling her out of the room, knowing that this wasn’t something that I wanted Ashton
to hear.
“Enzo, the two of us know what is going on, and you don’t need to play the game of family with me. I
doubt that you…”
“I told you that my apology was not one that was temporary…”
“A cup of coffee and breakfast aren’t going to prove whether or not it is.” She said, stopping me. “The
gesture is kind, but it is not one that I want to hold onto. These moments of excitement aren’t ones that
I am going to fall for.”
“You can at least come and allow Ashton to see the two of us together, Alaria.” I said, and she looked
away from me for a moment. She looked at the door for a moment before she shook her head.

“You called him a bastard, Enzo. While I was pregnant with him while married to you, you deemed him a bastard. I understand that you might regret it, but that doesn’t mean that I am going to forget it. Maybe things are different now, and I have allowed you to be in his life, but that neither changes the reality of things, nor…”
“You know the reason behind me calling him that…”
“And that is the main reason why I am saying this right now.” She said, stopping me. “You are going to stay away from me, and I am going to find myself and Ashton a place to stay. I am not going to stop you from seeing your son, it is not my place to do so, but I don’t find it appropriate to stay in your house when I am clearly nothing to you. And don’t tell me that I am. I am tired of allowing everyone to step over me, and that includes you.”
“It doesn’t feel like it.” She said, making me frown. “Anyhow, I have things to take care of. You can have breakfast with Ashton before he gets ready for school. It is still too early for him to be heading off.”
“Beta Leo!” Ashton said, making me chuckle as he ran toward Leonardo who wrapped his arms around him, lifting him in his arms.
