Alpha Enzo by Ls Barbosa

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?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“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.

“I am aware, and I know that you are resenting me right now because you are scared of what is going to happen. But Alaria, don’t you want to put an end to all of this? Don’t you want to actually be able to work on something that breaks him as he broke you?” He asked, and I scoffed.

“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.”

“I never said that I was.” He said, and I smiled.

“Then find someone else to try and work with. I am not going to be a ploy for your games, and I do not intend to ruin MY and my son’s peace for a man that I don’t even know.” I said, and he took a deep breath as I turned to leave.

“My father put me in his face for your ex to break me.” He said, stopping me. I frowned in confusion, momentarily pausing as I waited to hear what he was going to tell me. “He has his friends working to break my ambition. While I know that I work on things differently, I am not the Pakhan that he wants me to b, I know that he is trying to make sure that I hit rock bottom to work with him. I don’t want that for myself. I don’t want to find myself putting my son in a stupid situation over something that I know that he doesn’t want to take part of.”

“It runs in both our bloods. Mine and yours, and I am not going to change who I am, I do not intend to try doing so.” I said, and he shook his head.

“I am not asking you to. But nothing would tone Enzo down, nothing would break him more, than seeing YOU work with me. You might not understand my reason and you might think that I am playing you right now. I am not. I have no reason for you to believe or trust me either, but I aim to break the man as he broke me. I aim to show him what it is to underestimate someone because…”

“You are playing with emotions.” I said, stopping him. I put my finger in the man’s chest, tapping it twice. Our eyes met and he looked down at my hand for a second, taking a breath as he did. “If you keep doing so, you are not going to get anywhere.”

“My advice to you; with Enzo, with men like Enzo, and with the games that you are going to find yourself dealing with. Trust me, they are a lot more than you are going to want to deal with; use your brain, your morals should stay clear, in YOUR mind before theirs, and you should know your target.” I said, opening my car door. “Only then would you be able to face a man like Enzo. ONLY then would you be able to challenge him and not lose to the demon who stands in the form of a man.”

“That is my advice to you,” I said, getting inside the car. I went to close the door, but he held it, stopping me.

“What about you? Are you still looking for an office?” He asked, and I scoffed.

“You stay away from me, Alpha Damon Petrov.” I said, and he loosened his grip around the door, allowing me to close it. “Good luck with your revenge. Though with this mindset, you are not going to get anywhere. I still wish you luck.”

“It seems to me that you are going to need it…”
