Chapter 69
Alaria:
“Thank you for allowing us to stay, Yildez.” I said, and she smiled.
“Alaria, you know that our doors are open for you. You can stay here as much as you want and need. It is a shame what happened to the two of you. The house, how is everyone? Alonso?” She asked, and I shook my head.
At this point, I didn’t even want to talk about this. Whatever has happened, happened. Katherine got what she wanted in the end, Enzo kicked my son and I out on the streets. I was lucky that I didn’t depend on any of them, but I didn’t know how I was going to manage things.
“We were out when it happened, we barely got the call from Katherine.” I said, and she nodded.
“What about Ezio? Your brother? He lives close, you can’t call him to help you out? The idea of being out in the street…”
“You don’t need to worry about me in the street. Today was just a mess, and it was too late to be going to a hotel with a child. I just need two days to process what happened before I find us a new place.” I said, and she nodded.
“You won’t be going back to…
“A little difficult to do so when my little one just managed to process everything that happened. You know, he barely got used to things here, taking him elsewhere now is going to be hard for him.” I said, and she nodded.
Thankfully, Ashton was asleep in the room assigned for two of us. I ran my fingers through my hair, and I couldn’t help but find myself pulling the roots gently. “I hate saying this, but I know that I shouldn’t have come here.”
“No, no, don’t say that. Things are going to brighten up again. But you are going to need to calm down and gather your strength. You are a strong woman, you know that you can easily. do so.” She said, and I smiled, the pain evident in my eyes. “There are rumors going All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

around.”
“You and the gossip, Yildez.” I said, and she laughed.
“Come on, we might as well enjoy the night the way that we are. I know that you are tired. and the day has been long for you. I believe that a few glasses of wine and gossip always make a woman smile. In a way or another, you can smile and laugh.” She said, and I laughed, pinching the bridge of my nose at the woman. Her eyes met mine and she raised an amused eyebrow.
“So, you and Damon?” She asked.
“No,” I said, shaking my head at her. “The two of us barely spoke about a few businesses. He wanted me as a partner, but you know, that isn’t something that can happen.”
“Why not?” She asked, shaking her head in question. She looked at me, and I raised an eyebrow at her, waiting to hear why she was questioning me. “Wait, let me go and get wine. This is not something that we are going to sit on dryly.”
She got up to pour each one of us a glass of wine, and though I was quiet, I smiled as I took the glass from her, taking a sip out of it.
“So, why can’t you be mature enough to work with the man? Are you worried about Enzo? You know, your ex?” She asked, and I laughed, shaking my head.
“I am neither worried about Enzo, nor is it the fact of not being mature. But the man is Enzo’s partner. You know, it wouldn’t be right to be siding against him when it comes to what he has in mind.” I said, and she nodded.
“Why not revenge? You know, the two of you can actually work on…”
“Enough, Yildez. I am not going to get revenge on Enzo for something that I agreed on. While yes,
it is might be tempting considering how things fired back on me, I don’t want to hurt him, he still is my son’s father. Alonso is his brother, and if Katherine is pregnant, then she would be carrying his sibling or siblings.” I said, and she raised an eyebrow.
“You doubt her pregnancy?” She asked, and I shook my head.
“I have no reason to doubt it, nor does it concern me to do so. Enzo knows that she is

carrying his children, and he is happy that it is the case. I don’t want…”
“You are unlike the other women who were most likely to enter his life.” She said, and I scoffed, shaking my head at my friend. The woman has lost it, I was sure of that by now. “Hell, I doubt that you are like any of the other women that we all know. Even I would be plotting a revenge rather than just sitting here with my sorrows. You lived with the man for our son, had I been in your shoes, I would have found a way to burn him from the inside.”
“You know that I am not like that. When I left, I left to stop the fire and trouble. I already had enough.” I said, shaking my head.
“And that is the main reason why he is crosses limits with you that he wouldn’t with others.” She said, and she nodded in understanding. She took my hand in hers, and I watched as she squeezed it.
“Try to understand me, Alaria; the kindness that you are showing to everyone, and this gentleness, you are going to be the one who suffers. For once, just once, be the one who fights back. Fight them back, Alaria. At least, if not for yourself, do it for Ashton.” She said, and I smiled, not saying a word. “At least secure yourself financially with businesses that would help you and your son grow. A partnership will help you with that, Alaria. You know that within your heart.”
“I’ll sleep on it and see,” I said, and she smiled, squeezing my hand one more time before pulling it away. “But now to change this bitter topic; what is going on with you? I hear that there are rumors about your little enemy…?”
