Enzo:


    I watched as ria walked out of the elevator alongside Ashton.


    Katherine was speaking to the other women, gloating about the ring that I got her for our anniversary,


    knowing that it mostly triggered jealousy between thedies. And being in our ss and ce, it was


    something that was considered as normal.


    Ashton yed by his mother’s side while she smiled down at him, both of them clearly content and


    calm. Their eyes met, and he took her hand, holding it as the two of them walked toward the front desk


    of the reception.


    eyes met mine as


    “Leaving so soon?” I asked, cutting her conversation short. Her she turned to face me, and Ashton


    looked up at me, and he smiled.


    “Mama says we’re going to have a pack now.” He said, and I raised an amused eyebrow at the woman.


    The anger that I saw in ria’s eyes was one that I knew well, but she knew better than to say a word


    about it now. Even she had an image to keep, and being beside me, she knew that she would be


    catching the eyes of many, especially as my ex with my wife being in the same lobby.


    “Did she now?” I asked, kneeling on one knee in front of him. He nodded before he looked up at ria


    who hesitated for a second before letting his hand go. Her eyes were fixed on me for a second, but


    then she was quick to turn to the


    receptionist.

    “I would like to check out tomorrow morning, can you please arrange that?” She asked, not bothering to


    look at me.


    “Why not today?” I asked, standing as I looked at the womart for a second. She looked at the


    receptionist and nodded at her to tend to what she wanted her to do before she turned to face me..


    “I deserve ONE day of peace without having to see your face in front of me, don’t you agree?” She


    asked, lowering her voice to above a whisper as she clearly kept in mind that Ashton was watching her.


    I looked down at my son for a second before looking up at her. “I know that you want to break


    something in me, and I will not allow it. If I am going to stay in not n to leave my

    “Ma’am, your checkout for tomorrow has been confirmed.” The receptionist said,

    and ria nodded, silently thanking the woman. She looked at Ashton for a second, checking on her


    son who was looking up at her with a smile on his face.


    “Look who we have here.” Katherine said, walking toward us. Her heels clicked on the ground with


    each step that she took, and I could see ria’s eyes harden as she looked at the woman.


    “How about we go to the kids‘ room? I am sure that you’re going to want to y with the slide.” ria


    said, smiling at Ashton who nodded. She looked at me for a second before taking a breath. “I’lle


    and speak to you in a bit. Wait for me in the restaurant.”


    “Giving orders now?” I asked, raising an eyebrow at her. She scoffed and shook her head at me, her


    hand shaking as she clenched then unclenched her fists.


    “When it includes my son; I’ll give more than just a few orders.” She said, taking at step back as she


    took Ashton’s hand. “I’ll meet you here in a bit.”


    I watched as she walked toward the stairs which led to the y area for the kids. There were a number


    of nannies and maids who were trained to take care of them within the hotel while their parents rxed,


    tended to meetings, gs, and social events, and being a safe ground, I knew that this was a good


    option to have.


    I walked toward the restaurant, booking a table for the two of us, knowing that Katherine being around


    wasn’t going to solve anything between ria and I right now. The woman and I needed to talk in


    private, and I needed toy my rules and I knew that many of them would be ones that my wife would


    be questioning.


    “Are you going to keep allowing her to cross her limits with you, Enzo?” Katherine. asked, shaking her


    head in question. “I know that if it were anyone else…”


    “Did I allow you to speak to me?” I asked, stopping the woman. She took a step back,pletely


    startled by my response, and I raised an eyebrow at her.


    “You just booked the table for the two of you, and I did not speak. You are speaking to her, allowing her


    to speak to you in a way that would normally have you slitting a man’s throat, and yet, here you are,


    questioning and arguing with me?” She asked, shaking her head in question. “Enzo, I am your wife.


    She is not…”


    “Are you done?” I asked, stopping the woman frompleting her sentence. She gulped, looking down


    at her feet for a second before she took a step back.

    like giving me.” She said, and I nodded, sarcasm obvious in my expression. I took a step back, not


    bothering to respond as she stood, perplexed and surprised by my reaction.


    “You should show that respect first to earn it, Katherine.” I said, knowing that she could hear me. My


    voice was above a whisper, for her ears to hear alone. She sucked in a harsh breath and I walked


    toward the lobby. “You can go back to the pack. Your ce is not here, and I think that it is unwise of


    you to leave the pack’s heir alone for a whole day, wouldn’t you agree, LUNA?”
