Chapter 88 Katherine: +5 “How the fucking hell did he find out?” I snapped, glaring at Jacob as he entered the hospital room. I knew that he was the one person who could have blurted it out to him. No one else would have known to speak to Enzo about it. “I didn’t tell your husband anything. The last thing that I would do is speak to him right now as I have other things to do, but I doubt that you are going to want to listen to a word that I am telling you to begin with. Explaining this to you would be like…” “Enzo wouldn’t have suspected anything. And for him to come back to me with a damn test, it means that he has been looking for the answers for a long time. I am neither foolish nor am I stupid to believe that this was something that simply JUST popped up in his head.” I said, glaring at the man whose eyes were calm as he looked me dead in the eye. His heartbeat was calm, mine was the exact opposite as I tried to allow myself to digest everything that was happening. The man couldn’t have possibly found out about everything. He wouldn’t have been able to find out about this if they told him. “He wouldn’t have found out about it if you weren’t a fool. He has been suspecting things for a while, obviously, you just gave him the opportunity to find the right answers that he would have wanted to get.” He said, and I scoffed. “I have done nothing wrong before that woman…” I stopped, freezing as I allowed myself to process what I was going to say. Alaria couldn’t have known about this. This was something that I wasn’t even talking about, she wouldn’t have found out about things. I would have… “She couldn’t have heard about it from someone,” I said, voicing out my pain and anger. “Alaria is not the one…” “Even if she did tell him about what she knew, the man wasn’t going to believe her.” Jacob said, making my eyes widen in surprise. 1/2 Chapter 88 “How the fuck do you…?” +5 “She knows of it, but she didn’t hear of it from me. She heard of it from Damon. The man told her about it to break Enzo. I just gave her the chance to believe that it was true.” He said, making my heart drop to my stomach. “The two of you played me like a fool…?” “No one played you, it was you who played herself. The woman barely found out about things from us yesterday. It wouldn’t have been enough time for […]
Chapter 87 Enzo: +5 I woke up on the couch, pinching the bridge of my nose only to frown when I saw a pillow under my head and a blanket over my body. Ashton, who was the one who woke me up, smiled and kissed my cheek, making me chuckle. “Good morning,” I said, extending my hand to him. He smiled and laid his head on my bicep. “Good morning, daddy,” he said, making my chest ache. “Why did you sleep on the couch?” “I must have dozed off. I am guessing your mom is who put the blanket and pillow.” I said, and he nodded. I sat up and wrapped my arms around him, pulling him on my lap. The sun was yet to rise, and I frowned when I saw that it was still late into the night. “Why are you awake?” “I had a bad dream. I was going to mama, but I found you here.” He said, and I frowned, looking him in the eye as I tried to understand what was bothering him. “Do you want to tell me what it is about?” I asked, and he looked at me, not saying a word for a moment. “It was a dream about Alonso. He was taken away from us, and was not there to play anymore. I cried and cried, but he was not responding.” He said, looking down at his lap. I tightened my arms around him and kissed the crown of his head. “Alonso is not going anywhere, son. Don’t worry, the two of you are going to see each other again, and you are going to play again.” I said, my voice softening as I looked at him. I looked up as I caught Alaria’s scent. Her eyes met mine and she nodded, giving me a gentle smile. I smiled back and looked down at our boy. “Do you want to go to bed? Or…” “I want mama, but…” “Mama is right here, baby.” Alaria said, stopping him. Ashton jumped down from my arms to his mother.
Chapter 86 065% 12:17 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, a and I… didn’t as “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.” 1/3 Emergency calls only. Chapter 86 065% 12.17 “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. dhe tell “Did he tell you anything that…?” ‘He confirmed the situation on Katherine.” I said, stopping him. “He told me that it would be a son for a son and me for his woman.” “What?” Enzo asked, nearly banging the table. Thankfully, he reminded himself that Ashton was sitting calmly with two maids as he watched his cartoons. The last thing we wanted to do was startle the boy. “I didn’t know what to do, Enzo. I had to go to Ezio at that moment. I knew that things were going to grow more complicated, and I wanted to tell you, but…” I “You thought that I was going to turn it against you.” He said, stopping me. I looked down at the table, avoiding. his eyes. “I put myself in your shoes, Ezio advised me not to speak as he knew that you would think that I didn’t want your with Katherine.” I said, and he raised an eyebrow. “The fact that I am the last person to find out about all of this…” “I just found out earlier today, and when I came to the hospital, things were already too messed up. If I told you, I would have broken you. Alonso is in the hospital because of the fire, and I didn’t want to break your heart more than it was for him…” “So, you chose to lie to me?” 2/3 Emergency calls onlyM Chapter 86 064% 12:17 “You are not going to blame me for this, Enzo. I didn’t start this war, I was trying to stop things from escalating in a way that we wouldn’t have been able to stop it.” I said, and he nodded. “So, you went ahead and told your brother instead of coming to me?” He asked, and I shook my head. “Would you have come to me if you were in my shoes?” I asked, looking the man in the eye. “Put yourself in my place. I know that you are with the one person that I…
Chapter 85 Enzo: 065% 12:16 值 I walked inside the hospital, blind as my heart raced against my chest with each step that I took. The file was in my hand and I knew that throwing it in her face was not going to heal the heat and anger that i was now feeling. I didn’t even know how I was supposed to react, but I knew one thing, the woman was going to pay for everything that she has done. And I was going to be sure that it is done slowly. “Enzo?” Katherine said, seeing me entering the hospital room. Alonso was still asleep, and she was sitting by her side, looking at him as if she was debating on how she was going to fix this. “Is everything alright?” “You tell me?” I asked, opening my laptop to show her the video of herself. Her eyes widened in surprise and I handed her the paternity test, keeping my eyes on her as I spoke. The anger that I felt was one that I couldn’t describe. I lost more than I could afford for her sake. I lost my wife, my home, a stable home, for her sake, and here she was, years later, a liar. “Enzo, I can explain…” “Explain what?” I asked, shaking my head in question. “Explain that you lied about him being my son? Or the fact that you burned the house? Explain that you put the whole pack in danger? Or that I have been raising a boy who was not even mine, thinking that he was mine, for all this time? Explain to me that you were sharing my bed for years while lying to me…?” “You wouldn’t have looked at me otherwise, Enzo. I was alone and I was scared, I didn’t wan to…” “You are still trying to find the lies to cover for yourself?” I asked, stopping her. “Rather than staying quiet, you are still trying to explain that you were a fucking damn liar?” “I am trying to explain to you what happened, Enzo, I was put in tough situation. I was fighting for him, myself, and I was trying to keep him safe. I didn’t want to hurt him with everything that was going on around me. I didn’t want him to pay for the things that I.. “You went ahead and lied, bringing over another man’s child as an Alpha’s son. I always wondered why I didn’t feel the bond with him as I should have. I felt it with Ashton and when I asked, when I wondered, I dismissed. I 1/3 Emergency calls only Chapter 85 065% 12:16 thought that you were more fucking human than to think about lying this way. But no, the mistake was from my side. I was the one who was fucking wrong to believe in a bitch like yourself in the first place!” I snapped, making sure to mind my tone as I knew that we were still in the hospital. “He is the bastard Alpha’s son, isn’t he?” “Enzo, you are going to throw me in fire. I need you to understand me, I am not… “You threw my whole world in flames. I fucking trusted you with everything that I had. I was deeply in love with you… “You left me!” She snapped, stopping me. “For her, you fucking left me. I had no other way to get back to you. I tried every possible way to get back to you, but you were too busy looking at her. I saw the perfect couple on TV, the news, the media, everywhere I opened, you were the first headline that they spoke of. You left me for a woman that you claimed that you didn’t want to live the life that I wanted with you!” “That is you explanation to lying about a son who is not mine? Right? Am I understanding this correctly? Because you seem to be growing more pathetic with each passing second, by the way. And trust me, had it been another man, your head would have been the price. If I am being patient right now, if I am allowing you to speak, it is because of the child who is asleep on the bed. I am still respecting the fact that he is a kid whose mother locked in a room to play a fucking game.” I said, my tone darkening as I looked at her. Her heart raced, and she shook her head as she fought her tears. “I didn’t want things to go the way that they did. I wanted to be yours. I wanted to build the family that was taken away from us. Then she appeared again. She came as the perfect mother who was bringing the two boys together. You were listening to her, you were more than open to spending time with her. I wanted her to feel the fire that I felt in my chest as I looked at you.” “By burning the house with YOUR son inside?” I asked, stopping her. “Are you stupid? Or are you playing the game of stupid? Because this is the only explanation that I can give you. You are being foolish and you are trying to explain something to me that I will not understand. The woman was doing her duty as a mother, because yo failed yours, you wanted to burn the house when your boy was inside? it wasn’t even Ashton there, it wasn’t you, it was an innocent child who wasn’t even related to the whole situation!” “The fault that I had is falling for her games and tricks. I was burning inside and I wanted her to be accused of it. I didn’t calculate things, it is my mistake…” *Your mistake is not calculating for things? Not the fact that you burned the house, but the fact that you got caught? That is the mistake that you made?” I asked, shaking my head in question. I looked at her for a moment, my ev eyes wide in surprise as I processed what I was going through. I did not marry this monster, it was impossible for me to have been this blind. 2/3 Emergency calls onlyMU… Chapter 85 “Enzo… PER 065% 12:17 I raised a hand, stopping her from saying a word as I turned to leave, ignoring the clench that I felt in my chest, knowing that it is one that I didn’t expect to go through. Viktor’s eyes met mine and I raised a hand, stopping him from following me. “Boss…” “I am going to be at the tower with the one person who is going to bring me peace right now.” I said, clearing my throat. “At least that would ensure that I don’t break her neck here and now.” “Enzo, you driving in this state…” “If she tries to run away, kill her.” I said, stopping him, knowing that she was listening. “And find his father. I believe that I know why he is here at this point. Find him and send her to him, give them both the warning; if he has a hand in this, then I am going to be their nightmare.”
Chapter 84 Alaria: 065% 12.16 “What are you going to do?” Ezio asked, breaking my train of thoughts as I stood in the garden. “I am going to take my son after dinner and leave, Ezio. I know that you want me to decide against it, but you know very well that I will not. There are things that I need to take care of, and as you might know, we have a mother who clearly doesn’t want me to be around her.” I said, looking at my brother who shook his head. “Alaria, you know that this is your brother’s pack…” “It wasn’t the case when you were sending me to Enzo, brother.” I said, stopping him. He looked down at his feet, and I smiled, taking his hand in mine. “Don’t worry, I am going to manage myself and my son. You just take care of yourself and mama. Be sure that the two of you stay out of trouble, and don’t get into too many arguments with her. She is tired as it is, and you don’t want to exhaust yourselves with the number of things that can go around.” to you and “But with how things are going, are you sure that it is safe for you and Ashton? The man came to threatened…” “I have been keeping myself and my son safe for years before coming here. The man might be strong and he might be willing to challenge, but it is far too early to be deciding on running away, not when I know that we have a lot that we are going to end up taking care of.” I said, and he nodded. “And Enzo?” He asked, making me sigh. “I don’t know what I am going to do with Enzo. But I am going to keep your word in mind. I am not going to be the one to tell him about what happened, not yet anyway. He is going to break if he hears it from me, and I don’t want to be the reason that things grow messed up. I just know that they are going to be more fucked up than 1 am going to want to handle.” I said, and he took a deep breath, thankfully, agreeing with me. “You know that the house’s door is always open for you. I know that we hurt you when you needed us most, but you know that there are rules that we need to follow. We didn’t want to get in more trouble than we can afford, but know that not once did I forget my… “I don’t need an apology. What happened is done, and my son got to know his father, regardless of how painful it was, it happened in a way that I can say went well. Anyhow, I will see you soon. You stay safe until then, and I am 1/4 The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser A Emergency calls onlyMU Chapter 84 065% 12:16 going to be sure to keep you posted in case something happens” I said, and he nodded, hugging me tightly. Ashton, who was playing with mom, looked at me and smiled. I walked toward him and put a hand on his shoulder. “It is time for us to go home, mama.” I said, and he nodded. “Okay,” he said, and I smiled. I looked at my mom and smiled. She nodded in respect and I hugged her, being respectful and also showing an example to my son. The last thing that I wanted him to learn was to be rude to his parent, and no matter how rude and harsh she was with me, I knew to respect her and show her that I did. “I will see you soon, mama, and as I told Ezio, if there is anything that you need, don’t hesitate to call me. I am going to be more than willing to respond to help.” I said, and she nodded. “Don’t worry, we are all okay. You just be sure to stay out of trouble and there is no need to find yourself pushing yourself in places that don’t need you to be in.” She said, and I nodded. It was a rule that I always had for myself. I only did break it when I chose to go to Enzo’s house after the divorce. I walked out of the house alongside my son, knowing that the night was going to be a long one with the number of things that I learned. I didn’t even know how I was going to face Enzo if he passed by, but judging by how things went today in the hospital, I knew that he wasn’t going to. The way he had dismissed me was one thing that bothered me and it hurt me even more than I couldn’t make him pay for the pain that HE made me go through in past. I knew that had it been her, had it been Katherine, she would have put me through that pain and more. “Are we going back to the house, mama?” Ashton asked, and I nodded, stopping a cab for us. “Yes, baby. We are going back to the tower. You can watch TV if you want there too, I know that you finished your homework with grandma, and I don’t want you to keep working nonstop. So, how about you watch cartoons then the two of us can get ready for bed? You know, we can even have a nice story time since you don’t have school tomorrow.” I suggested. I knew that he most likely might be asleep halfway through the cartoon. I was only thankful that he got something to eat and freshened up at the Estate. At least, I knew that something was done right in this long day. “Will Alonso be joining us soon in these story times, mama?” He asked, making my chest ache. He knew him as a brother, to hear or even try to understand that he wasn’t even related to him was something that I didn’t know how I was going to explain if Enzo found out. The weight that I was carrying was too much, but I knew one thing, this was not something that I wanted to break. No matter the blood relation, he was a child, he didn’t deserve to be paying for his mother’s crimes. 2/4 The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser A Emergency calls only Chapter 84 D65% 12:16 “Of course,” I said, and he smiled. “If your father allows him to come to the tower, you are going to be listening to many, many stories together. And you are going to grow up as the best friends that you are meant to be. You are going to watch movies and cartoons.” “Are we going to play with a ball?” He asked, and I nodded. I “You are going to play with everything that you want to play with, my little one.” I said, and he smiled. His eyes met mine and I kissed my son’s cheek as sat inside the cab. The man looked at me, and I nodded, handing him the address that I wanted him to go to. “And the twins, mama? Are they going to be my brothers too?” He asked, making my eyes soften. “Brothers or sisters, yes.” I said, ignoring the pang that I felt in my chest as the heavy feeling that I had settled in. The idea of me not hearing the children’s heartbeat was not one that I could ignore, and though they claimed that they heard it through an ultrasound, I knew that as wolves, we should be able to hear their presence. The fact that we couldn’t didn’t settle as easy to me. “They are going to be your siblings too, and you are going to be an older brother. A brother who is going to protect his siblings, one who is going to fight to
Chapter 83 Enzo: “We have a lot to do, and right now, the last thing we are going to worry about is the house. I want the pack members reassembled. Take them to the old Estate until things are settled and I want no delays.” I said, looking at Leonardo who nodded. Today, it was my gamma, Alessandro, who was in the hospital with Katherine and Alonso. I needed Leonardo by my side today, and Viktor had his own responsibilities here in the office. “Leonardo, I want all the meeting papers in my office. I know that there are plenty and there is a lot that we have to take care of. You can tell the girls to bring over what they did for the week, I want to know who they saw in the clubs and if the rumors that are going around are true.” I said, and he nodded. “Do you believe that he is here?” Leonardo asked, referring to Jacob. I nodded, looking around the men and women who were taking care of their duties in the office. Some were reading through emails, other typing, and many organizing things around. The accountant nodded at me, and I looked away from him as I proceeded to my office. There were so many things that I was going to have to take care of, and I knew that I had missed a lot with the fire and the two days which I have been away. “The man is deceitful and would be more than willing to play a darker game than he can afford. His father may not want him around, but if he does want to come, he will, whether or not his father likes it, the man is going to come to the city. The one issue that we might have is him middling around with things that we don’t want him to associate in, and that is something that I know he is going to do.” I said, and Leonardo nodded in understanding, knowing that I was right. His father was going to try and stop him from doing so, that was, if he knew to begin with. “Find out if the rumors are true. The fucker is a drunken bastard who likes to screw girls, he is bound to be around one of the clubs. He might even want to send a message.” I said, and Leonardo nodded. It would be a lot worse if he wanted to do so, but right now, I knew to expect anything. My eyes caught sight of Viktor who was standing in front of my office. His eyes met mine and he nodded. I returned the nod and the two of us walked inside. He was quiet for a moment, clearly debating, most likely hesitant about what he was going to tell me, and I 1/3 D The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser Emergency calls onlyMU- Chapter 83 065% 12.16 didn’t need to be smart to know that it had something to do with the footage that I asked for, especially after seeing the USB in his hand. Though I knew what I needed to know, I needed to see it. I wasn’t going to accuse Katherine without valid proof, and I wasn’t going to give her a chance to think of denying it if she could. I didn’t want to deal with that. “I got the footage that you asked for, Alpha. But you need to know that it is not something that you are going to like.” Viktor said, and I looked at the man and scoffed. “I don’t expect it to be something that I like, Viktor.” I said, looking at the man. The paternity test was still on my desk, and though I knew to open it, I wanted to be alone to do so. “Just put the USB here, I’ll take care of watching it.” He nodded and I watched as he walked out before I plugged the thing to my laptop just as I opened the folder. My heart raced against my chest at the sight of Katherine throwing oil, she was picking it up from beside Alaria’s room. Her eyes scanned her surrounding, little did she know that Jade was watching her. Her eyes were fixed on Alonso’s room for a moment, and I watched as she lit a cigarette. Her eyes held a determination in them that I have never seen before, and I didn’t need to watch the rest of it to know what happened. The pack ran, and the footage was all caught, she was the first to leave the house. The pack Luna was the first person to leave the house when it was on fire. It was something that was never heard of, and was certainly something that was never seen before. “You really did outdo yourself on this one, Katerina,” I muttered to myself, looking down at the file to have my heart dropping. I looked away for a moment, ignoring the pain that I felt in my chest before I got up from my desk, throwing the file on top of it. My heart raced, and I had to remind myself that I was in the office as not to growl, knowing that it would be catching the attention of humans. The pain that I felt was one that I never expected to feel, and the betrayal was one that I never would have pictured going through, not like this, not from her, not in this topic. “Boss?” Viktor said, entering the office, feeling his Alpha’s anger. His wolf was alert, and I glared at the man for a moment, not knowing what to do. “We are going to the hospital.” I said, picking up the file, my laptop, and the USB. I “Enzo, what’s going on?” Viktor asked, seeing the anger in my eyes. His eyes studied my expression, and I could tell that he was surprised, trying to understand what was going on and what he was going to do. “What did you 2/3 The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser A Emergency calls en “Altiniani is not mine.” I said, taking a strip back. “And Katherine is going to fucking pay for her lies. 田 SEND GIFT

If I tell Enzo about what I heard, the man is not going to believe me, he is not going to look at me, he won’t spare me a second thought, and I know that he is going to ignore every word that I tell him.” I said, and he sighed, running his hands over his temple, knowing that he understood well enough the mistakes that could go wrong in this. They were countless, and I didn’t know how things were going to be. “You need to understand that he is going to put you in a hard spot. You speaking to Enzo about this is only going to put you in a doubting spot, and trust me when I say that this point is going to be an end, and it won’t be or you alone. You are going to end up harming Ashton,” he said, making my heart ache. “He is going to be living the lie until.. truth is often uncovered in its own time. You don’t need to interfere for it to be coming out. But what you need to do is be patient for it do so. You speaking, you being angry, you showing your anger, you are only going to end up…” “The woman broke my home and life for a lie, Ezio. Yes, I always was in love with Enzo, I will not lie about it, but the man looked at someone else because she claimed to have carried his child…” “Then he is going to be the one to find out about it. If you tell him, you are going to give her the chance to hide it. If he had a paternity test tampered with before, then you are going to allow her to do it again. The truth doesn’t hide for too long, that is something that you need to understand, he is going to find out about it. Him finding out about it from you, regardless of you knowing, regardless of you hearing of it first, you are ONLY going to harm yourself, sister.” He said, repeating himself again. I looked at Ashton who entered the room. His eyes were bright as he ran inside with a butterfly in his hand. I didn’t even understand how he managed to catch the little insect. The little thing flew the second he opened his hand, and I laughed, shaking my head at him. “Now I am curious about how you are planning on sending it back outside. You know, you have it inside the house now.” I said, and he laughed. 1/3 Emergency calls onlyMU… Chapter 82 065% 12.16 “We will give it food, flowers, and she is going to come to them.

Little did he know was the fact that I was burning inside with the number of things that I had in mind. They were countless, and I knew that even he didn’t deserve to live though. His eyes met mine, and I took his hand in mine, gently kissing his palm. He smiled as he looked at me, and I ran my finger over his hand before he took a step back. “Go and freshen up, baby before you get dinner. And don’t tell mama that you don’t want to eat, you have to get something to eat before you to sleep, baby.” I said, and he pouted, making me laugh. “Come on, Ashton. You know that your mother is right, you being stubborn is not going to get you anywhere, little one. You are going to need to freshen up and we are all going to eat. We are all hungry and we are all waiting for you.” Ezio said, and Ashton nodded. He walked toward the maid as to take him to the bathroom. I looked at my brother, and put his hand on mine, gently squeezing it for me. I looked down at his hand and he sighed, not saying a word, my chest ache and he smiled softly. “I know that you are scared and I know that things are messed up, but you need to be patient, sister. You are going to need to understand that thing’s are not solved over impulsive actions, and you are not going to…” “I know what you are going to say, Ezio, but things are more complicated than that. I know that Enzo is not going to want to hear it, but he has been raising the boy as his own, and he is not to blame. Alonso is a child, he was put in this situation, but Katherine, could a woman be that cold?” I asked, shaking my head in question. how “She is the same woman who tried to blame you for burning the Estate with her son in the house and many innocent lives, Alaria.” He said, making my heart drop to my stomach. “If Enzo can’t see it, Alaria, you are not going to be able to show it to him. You are not going to be able to prove something to him that he doesn’t want to see or understand.” “Things between the two of you ended a long time ago. You are going to need to understand that he is not going to want to get back to you, not like this, sister.” He said, and I looked away from him as I took a deep breath. “You know that I don’t want to get back to him, Ezio. Yes, I love him, but the way he let go of me…” He took my hand in his and gently kissed my knuckle, letting his lips linger there as he stopped me.

He cupped mom’s cheeks and kissed her temple as he reached her before he walked toward the door. “What are the two of you going on about?” Mom asked, “I find myself curious?” “We were just talking,” I said, getting up from the
Chapter 81 065% 12:15 +5 Katherine: I sat beside my son’s bed as he breathed in and out, his chest slowly rising and falling with each breath that he took. It was the one assurance that told me that he was breathing, that my baby was alive. “You are going to make it out of this, baby boy. I promise you, all of this fear is going to be in the past. I am not going to allow anyone to hurt you.” I whispered softly, running my finger over his cheekbone. I kissed his forehead, letting my lips linger there for a moment. “For your not to allow anyone to hurt him, I would assume that you would need to include yourself on that list? You know, of not hurting your son.” A familiar voice, one which I haven’t heard in so long, spoke. The fact that I didn’t catch his scent told me that he was masking it. I turned around to face him, his eyes meeting mine for a moment before he looked back at Alonso. “It is a shame that he had to go a victim to your games, but I am curious about the reason behind why you did what you…” “What do you want from me?” I asked, stopping him. “What the hell brought you here after all this time?” “You should have known that I was going to come back, little Katerina. I told you that I would, I just didn’t expect you to burn a house down before that happened. You know, I expected you to be smarter with your approach, it seems to me that I overestimated how smart you’re not.” He said, and I glared at him. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Oh, but you do. While you might not want to admit it, I know that you fucking do. However, I will ask, was it worth it to see the little one afraid? How did you manage to do it without getting caught in the first place? Doesn’t your Alpha have cameras in his house?” He asked, taunting me, knowing that he was pressing on my buttons. “Anyhow, I am not going to ask too many questions. The boy is going to live, I already asked…” “You did what?” “I have another problem that you are going to need to deal with, and that is the fact that the woman carrying the children has passed away.” He said, and my heart dropped. “You are going to need to fake a miscarriage.” 1/3 The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser A Emergency calls only M Chapter 81 “You are sick.” I said, shaking my head at him. 065% 12:16 “I would suggest that the two of us make another baby, but to do so, you are going to need to bend over right now. The children would be born late, you know, I know that we are going to be sure that they are made, and your husband is going to be curious.” I involuntarily closed my legs, remembering the soreness that he was sure to leave me in to ensure that I was pregnant. “You are going to need to fake a miscarriage, you can use the stress of the fire as an excuse. Enzo wouldn’t suspect a thing, but this time, there is a different situation that we are going to have to deal with. And I doubt that your husband is going to like it very much.” He said, and I glared at the man, shaking my head in question, waiting for what he was going to say, “You, my son, and whatever child I am going to have are coming with me.” “Over my dead body.” “That can be very much arranged,” he said, giving me a sarcastic smile. “All I have to do is tell Enzo that the boy that he’s called son throughout his whole life is not his. You know, judging by aspects that you don’t want to deal with, you know that you are going to end up thrown out. Enzo is not going to forget or forgive, and I have to add the fact that he is falling back to his ex. The woman, despite not being by his side, is smarter than you are. She knows how to listen to him and how to…” “You are praising her as much as he does.” I said, stopping him. “She deserves it if she’s praised. At least, she knows what it is to be a woman. You know, unlike yourself as your seem to fail even acting like one.” He said, making my chest ache. “You have a few days to decide on what you would be doing. Otherwise, trust me, if he doesn’t find out from us, he is going to find out elsewhere.” “No one else knows that Alonso is not Enzo’s son. I was sure to keep it quiet whose son he is throughout all this time, and even he always believed that his father was Enzo and that they would unite soon. You don’t need to worry about him finding out from someone else.” I said, glaring at the man. He smiled as he walked toward me. His body towered over my own, and though I stood my ground, forcing myself to be calm, I knew to admit that I was scared of him. I was afraid of what he would be doing to me. He extended a hand, and I flinched before he grabbed my chin, careful not to leave a bruise as he forced me to look him in the eye. However, his eyes on mine weren’t what made my heart drop to my stomach. It was his statement, a statement that he knew would ruin everything, and if it was true, I knew to start the countdown that I was having. The woman was not going to be quiet. 2/3 The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser A Emergency calls only Mu Chapter 81 065% 1216 “Someone, one woman, knows of Alonso being a bastard son,” Jacob whispered, leaning toward my shoulder, letting his breath hit my neck. “And I think that Alaria is merely waiting for the right moment before she bursts things to Enzo. And trust me, when that happens, you are not going to want to be in that house.” He took a step back, making my eyes widen as I watched him walk out of the room. I sat on the floor beside my son’s bed before covering my mouth with my hand. “What have you done, Jacob…?” F 3/3
Chapter 80 Damon: 065% 12:15 “You didn’t get what you wanted, did you?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at my brother who was clearly annoyed as he entered the house. I was sitting on the couch in front of the fireplace, facing the man, waiting for whatever he did. A mess that I was going to have to fix in silence as always. “The woman is a hardhead, but she is going to come along. She knows that I have my reasons now, and with Enzo playing dirty games, the last thing that we are going to need is for him to catch Katerina, do we?” Jacob asked, pouring himself a glass of scotch. “Scotch at this hour?” “Does my system know what time is it?” He asked, and I rolled my eyes. “I rest my case, and no one offered a drink for you to be complaining anyway.” “What did you tell Alaria?” I asked, changing the subject. The last thing that I needed was to end up having an argument with him, especially when I knew that it could be one of his motives right now. “I told her what she needed to hear. You threw in the bait, I merely made use of it. She is not going to tell Enzo, she doesn’t have the guts to do so, but she can end up getting in more trouble while trying to protect that little child of hers, and I have to admit, I would take him as a son instead of Katerina’s spoiled brat. The woman knows how to raise a child, unlike Katerina.” He said, and I rolled my eyes. “The difference of two women, one being forced to take her son to another man’s house by you, and another wanting to raise her own son the way that she wanted.” I said, and he scoffed. “I don’t think so. The woman was never capable of even taking care of herself, and with Yaroslav playing dirty games, I knew that I wouldn’t have been able to take care of the two of them. The one issue that I am having right now is him being alive in the first place. He doesn’t plan on legitimizing me as a son, and he is corrupting what the two of us are working on. If he finds out that I am here, then you are going to end up…” “He is bound to find out considering that you chose to start appearing in public places. That should have been something that you thought of before speaking to Alaria in the first place.” I said, stopping the man. “I spoke to her because I wanted a message to be delivered. The one aspect that I do not want is for him to know that I am working with you. Him knowing that I am in town would stir him a bit, something that I do not mind 1/3 The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser Emergency calls onlyML Chapter 80 D65% 12:15 happening.” Jacob said. himself a second glass. “I am going to need to pay a visit to my woman in the hospital. If she decided to play dirty by burning the house…” “How do you know that it is her? A woman like her is not capable…” “A dumb woman like her would be making such a move. Katerina would have made it thinking that it would keep her close to Enzo. She isn’t the smartest, but she can get the job done, and I am going to need to see about the damage that she managed to throw herself in.” He said, taking a sip of her scotch. “You are going to call for meeting with Enzo, ensure that he is there for me to be able to speak to her.” “You seem to be forgetting the fact that he has a beta following her shadow. The man doesn’t trust her enough to keep her in the hospital alone, and if he starts doubting…” “I am going to need him to start doubting to begin with. I need her by my side, and seeing as the human couldn’t keep the children, she is going to have to be the womb to carry my child.” He said, and I frowned. “Another one died, didn’t she?” “She didn’t die, I killed her.” He said, making my eyes harden. “She knew the consequence of losing the pups; and seeing as she chose to take the risk, she paid the price. It was too bad though, I did fancy her. She was different from those who I knew before.” “You are cold,” “You learn how to be as cold, even colder, when you go through the number of things that I went through, brother.” He said, making my eyes harden. “Anyhow, you tend to what I told you to do. I am going to do my thing. You know your part, and be sure to keep father distracted. If he asks about me…” “I do not mention your name, you don’t need to worry. I am not a fool, nor do I want to lose what I am fighting to gain. He is already giving me a hard time as it is to begin with.” I said, and he scoffed. “That is because you aren’t smart enough to get it your way, forcing him to respect you as you do, I don’t expect you to be anyway.” He said, shrugging his shoulders. He gulped the drink down, wincing before he shook his head at me. “You suck at choosing drinks.” “You are the one who brought the scotch, brother. I am wine person, and the bars and costumers would disagree on your opinion,” I said, getting up from the couch. I closed the book that I was initially looking at, attempting to think about whether or not I would read it before he arrived. “Be sure not to get yourself in more trouble than we can handle. You know, the last time you did that, father almost had your head. And this time, I doubt that I am 2/3 The Secret to Making More Money with Less Effort: Laser A Emergency calls only u Chapter 80 D65% 12:15 going to be able to save you from the mess that you might put yourself in. And I believe that if he finds out about your illegitimate son, things are going to get a lot more complicated than they already are.” The man’s attitude dropped, and I could swear that I saw his smirk turn into a scowl before he rolled his eyes as he poured one more glass of scotch, this time, offering it to me.
