Enzo:


    “The two of us are working through a partnership. And hopefully, something a little more intimate in the


    far future.” Damon said in the video.


    ria’s eyes widened in surprise as she heard the man’s words before she took my phone from my


    hand, her anger obviously clear in her eyes.


    “That fucking bastard…”


    “You never mentioned a partnership between the two of you…”


    “That is because there is no fucking partnership, Enzo!” She snapped, stopping me. “I told him that I


    was to stay the fuck out of his work. I told him that I wasn’t going to go against YOU while working with


    him. He goes around spreading false…


    “ria…”


    “What?” She asked, snapping at me. I took a step back, not saying a word for a second before shaking


    my head as I took a deep breath.


    “You need to calm down.”


    “After what the bastard just said. Doesn’t he see the consequences of his actions? Meing here has


    paparazzi following: no matter how discrete. Do you believe that they are going to leave me alone


    now? I have my son to protect and I am going to be worried about a bunch of…”


    “They are not going to touch you or Ashton, ria, but you are going to need to breathe. Ashton is


    going to hear you in the living room.” I said, stopping her. She took a deep breath, pinching the bridge


    of her nose as she did. She didn’t say a word for a moment before she shook her head.


    “I shouldn’t havee here in the first ce.” She said, and I looked away from her.


    “While I understand your annoyance…

    “I am going to put my son in danger of being hassled around by a press that is going to want to put me


    on pin point. It is one that I never wanted him to go through. I am living with you. the two of us are,


    more or less, co–parenting, and that is something that WE chose to keep from them. Do you really


    believe that this is something that they are going to drop now? And if he speaks of this as if it is the


    most normal thing, don’t you think that he would…?”


    “If he thinks that he is smart, then the two of us are going to be smarter, ria.”


    “He is trying to turn YOU against me. He knows the boundaries of our rules and ways, and he knows,


    as well as he knows his name, that this is going to set the two of us against one another. It is what he


    wants.” ria said, looking down at her feet as she pinched the bridge of her nose. I looked at her for a


    second, debating on what we could do.


    I knew that she was being honest. She wasn’t the type to lie to cover for things anyway, and she knew,


    regardless of the situation, with him being an Alpha, we were of the same rank. The man was allowed


    to be with her IF the two of them wanted it. And I had no right to stop them, I wouldn’t even take my son


    if that was the case. At least, not without a fight.


    “Well, as long as you knew that, why didn’t you tell me that he approached you?” I asked, and she


    raised an eyebrow.

    “You’re really questioning my decisions now, Enzo?” She asked, shaking her head in question. “I don’t


    even have to answer to you. But I am being kind enough to do so, respecting the fact that you are my


    son’s father, and there is also the fact that I have enough respect for


    you not to involve myself with your partner.”


    “The man is ying a tough game of revenge. He aims for it because I chose to ignore an idea that he


    wanted. I had him dismissed in front of the men, all of us have agreed on something, he doesn’t seem


    to believe that we are right. I have to admit, I didn’t expect him to take it out on you.” I said, and she


    took a deep breath. “But I know what we can do to y his own game.


    “You are going to y a game of media?” ria asked, and I smirked. The woman really did. know me


    well.


    “Do you have a better option? We haven’t been seen together since you came, and I believe. that it is


    about time that we announce that we are co–parents. Ashton is not going to stay hidden in the dark,


    and being my heir…”

    “You imed him a bastard.” She said, stopping me.

    “The two of us know that he is no bastard. I would rather be stabbed in the gut than to believe that you


    would be lying about something like that. And even IF I did see you sleeping with another man, I would


    im that my eyes lied. That I was drunk.” I said, shrugging my shoulders.


    ria kept her eyes on mine, and for the first time since she came to the house, she seemed to rx.


    It was as if a weight on her shoulders dropped, and I knew that it was due to what I said.


    “How are you so sure?” She asked, shaking her head in question. I smirked, shrugging my shoulders


    as I did.


    “You are not the only one in this rtionship, regardless of how it was and how it ended, that knew me


    well. I know who you are, and I know your ways. You are not a backstabber nor are you a liar. It is


    something that I respect in you.” I said, and she smiled, looking down at her feet.


    “It took you


    five


    years…”


    “It took me a day after I got married.” I said, stopping her. ria’s eyes widened, and I looked at the


    living room door where Ashton was sitting on the couch as one of the maids. told him a story to keep


    him busy. “I’ll be waiting in the car for you. I think that joining for breakfast would be the best option for


    us to start with our n. And judging by the circumstances, you know that the press would be a little


    more excited with the news of seeing the two of us together…”
