Katherine:


    “So the man never even bothered to marry you,” Jacob mocked as I stared at the ‘wedding‘ thing that


    was supposedly the bound to our rtionship. The one thing that I got out of the stupid time of me


    being with Enzo. “And you still stuck around? I am curious, what were you waiting for?”


    “That doesn’t concern you.” I said, and Jacob scoffed.


    “How did you get thest name? You seem to be proud…”


    “I never did,” I said, looking away from him. “Not legally, on these stupid human papers, at least. He


    refused to even look at me for a long time when I brought Alonso over, then one day I had to seduce


    him into bed…”


    shback:


    “Alonso, go to sleep, baby. You are going to need to rest, and what you are doing to yourself and


    mommy is not very good. You are going to end up getting sick, and that is not something that I want.” I


    said, looking at my little boy. He was five at the time, little did I know that I was going to miss the peace


    that the two of us had before I chose toe to this ce.


    “I don’t want to sleep, mama. When I sleep, you cry. I am going to stay awake with you,” he said, and


    my eyes softened. I lifted him in my arms and gently pulled him to myp.


    “Mama doesn’t cry because you’re asleep, baby. I love it when you sleep because I know that you are


    going to grow big and strong, and one day, you are going to protect me just like I am protecting you,” I


    said, running my finger over his stomach, gently massaging it. “But I am going to need you to promise


    me that you are going to be good. I don’t want your father to be upset with you and I don’t want him to


    be looking at you differently.”


    “He does not like me?” Alonso asked, and I shook my head.


    “How can he not love you? You are the one person in this world that deserves all the good in this


    world.” I said, smiling at my child. Thest thing that I ever expected was to find myself dealing with


    drifting away from him. I could have


    1/3


    sworn that connection that the two of us had was one that couldn’t break, not for anyone, and not for


    anything. How foolish of me to think so at the time.


    “Nowe on, how about youy down and close your eyes. Make your wishes and dreams, and then


    go to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a better, more beautiful, and brighter day.” I said, as I k*ssed the


    crown of his head. To think that one day, I was more than willing to give my life for him. How could I


    have known that I would be stooping as low as I did? How would I have guessed that I would be putting


    everything on the line simply not to lose the man who didn’t love me?


    I walked out of the room once I was sure that Alonso slept, and I couldn’t help but frown when I saw


    Enzo standing by the door. His eyes met mine for a moment and I looked away from him when I found


    the paternity test in his hand. It was a risk, but I knew that I had to take it for my son. I wasn’t going to


    risk him getting harmed by the man’s anger.

    He pulled out a ck box from his pocket. He handed it to me, and I frowned in confusion when I


    opened it and found a diamond wedding ring.


    “If anyone asks, the two of us eloped. We are going to y the game of husband and wife, and you are


    going to act as one.” He said, and I frowned.


    “We could actually go ahead and elope. We don’t even need a wedding if that is what you don’t…”


    “This ring is the ONE bound that the two of us would have,” he said, stopping me. “Don’t build any


    dreams that will not be a reality, and I don’t want you thinking that I am going to want more from you


    than this.”


    “Enzo…”


    “Have a good night, Katerina.” He said, stopping me. “I’ll see you in the morning…”


    End of shback.


    “Well, at least, you managed to do one thing that was correct.” Jacob said,


    making my stomach churn. “But now we are going to have to deal with a few things, and they are going


    to involve you,”

    “I am not going to do anything until I am sure that Alonso has healed. The two of us have risked a lot,


    and I don’t want him to be paying the price of the stupid games that you are going to end up ying. It


    is bad enough that we are in your home when he doesn’t understand why his father…”


    “Enzo is not his father,” he said, stopping me.


    “That is not what he knows,” I said, looking the man dead in the eye. “You are going to treat him


    ordingly, Jacob. He is a little boy, one who doesn’t understand why you are treating him the way


    that you are or why he is here. I am not going to put him through the idea of him having to understand


    something when he just left the hospital after a month and a half being in aa.”


    “You should have thought of that before you…”


    “Would you have had another option?” I asked, and he scoffed.


    “I think that killing her would have been a lot easier, but then again, you aren’t the brightest of women,


    are you?” He asked, getting up from the couch. “Anyhow, go and take care of the child. The two of us


    can discuss matterster, and I think that you should start readying yourself too,”


    “For?” I asked, and he smirked.


    “You forgot already?” He asked, teasing me. I looked away from him as he neared my face, his hot


    breath hitting my cheek as he leaned in to kiss my jawline. “Do you want a reminder here? Or have you


    regained your memory?”


    I pushed him away and got up, making him chuckle. “I will be waiting for you tonight. I think that you


    best be ready…”
