Enzo:
“How do you feel, Katherine?” I asked, entering the infirmary room.
She didn’t say a word. Instead, she just held onto to her blanket, pulling it to her chin.
I looked at the woman, my anger still there, but the words of the pack doctor still playing in my head.
I couldn’t anger her. She was still fragile, and that was something that I had to keep in mind. She was going to have to be as comfortable as possible, and I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to confront her about the emeralds. But I knew what I would be doing to the other jewels that she had.
“Do you really care about finding out? Or are you just concerned about the child?” She asked, her voice holding an annoyance that bothered me. The fact that SHE was angry came as a surprise to me. The woman was the one who made the mistake and rather than apologizing, she was the one having an attitude.
“Katherine, you are carrying our child. The idea of you getting hurt would mean the baby being harmed too. So, yes, to answer your question, I am worried about both you and the baby.” I said, and she scoffed.
“Had it been another situation, you would have chosen thing…”
“You made the mistake and you are angry?” I asked, stopping the woman. She turned to face me, her eyes meeting mine. She sat, not saying a word for a few seconds before she shook her head at me.
“Would I have done so if I had any money with me in the first place? Money that I can control and call my own without you bothering to question every withdrawal that I make? No, I wouldn’t. I asked you to have something to my name. ONE fucking thing to my name to be able to have money, to have MY own funding, but no, you wouldn’t allow it if I tried.” She snapped, stopping me. I let out a warning growl, and she shook her head.
“If I was Alaria, you would have fucking allowed it. Hell, you two were gloating around when you were married how as a couple, you were managing things despite her having not one, not two, but four different franchises to her name. Some of them were even shared between the two of you. It seems that some sentences in this chapter require you to read the complete chapters on Jobni’b.com in order to avoid an incomplete reading experience. The two of you were working as a fucking couple, as a husband and damn wife!” She said, not bothering to wait to listen to me. Her heart raced, and she clenched and unclenched her fists as she tried to control her anger. “If you want to be angry with me for trying to help a friend, then you should be judging yourself!”
“You should LOOK at the way that you’ve treated me. You should look at the way that you’ve done things with me. Rather than blaming me, you should compare me to the way that you’ve treated that fucking wife of yours. YOU should fucking treat me the same way that you’ve treated her. YOU should..”
“YOU SHOULD DESERVE TO BE FUCKING TRUSTED BEFORE THAT EVEN HAPPENS, KATERINA!” I yelled, stopping her from completing her sentence. “Rather than fucking comparing yourself to Alaria, you should look at the different backgrounds that the two of you came from. The woman had her own thing long before I married her. She never needed me and…”
“Then go to her,” she said, stopping me. Her tone was calm this time, ten times calmer as she spoke. Her heartbeat was racing, and the woman’s eyes met mine and she teared up, not saying a word for a moment. She was waiting for me to react, to apologize, but I shook my head at her.
“You chose to want to live with me, on MY terms. And the two of us have agreed to do so. While I never do tell you anything against sending money. You can take as much as you fucking want, but for you to sell something that I gave you, for you to lie, try to accuse, and God knows what you would have told Yildez to help you cover for that lie; then you don’t even deserve a dime of what you are getting from me.” I said, calmly. I knew to choose my words carefully right now. I didn’t know what she had going in her mind, but I knew that she was doing something that was far too dangerous for the two of us.
“As long as you want me to go to her, then you can find your way out of the house.”
“Enzo, you are playing a very bad game.” She said, and I scoffed.
“You steal from me and I am the one who is playing the bad game? I am curious, what is a good game in your eyes? Because it seems to me that you don’t even know what it is to be a loyal woman.” I said, and she shook her head at me. “Anyhow, I am going to choose to be quiet right now. You are pregnant, and you almost had a miscarriage yesterday. The two of us are going to the hospital on Monday.”
“What?” She asked, frowning in confusion. “What the hell are we going to do at the hospital?”
“You are with child. You can’t expect me to keep you here when you almost lost the baby, do you?” I asked, and she sucked in a harsh breath. Her eyes avoided mine for a second and she shook her head, frowning as she looked down at her lap.
“What would I be doing at a human hospital? You know that our process is different…”
“We are going to Daniella.” I said, stopping her. “I believe that you know that she is familiar with wolves. The woman did make the paternity test, meaning that she understood and saw that the DNA wasn’t of human. We are going to check on both you and the child. We will see how far you are and an…”
“I don’t want to go,” she said, and I scoffed, shaking my head. “That hospital is a reminder to me that you doubted our son. That you believed that I would…”
“One thing that you are going to start keeping in mind, Katherine.” I said, stopping her. Her heart was racing and the woman looked away from me, trying to keep herself calm as I spoke. “Yesterday was the last straw. Whatever you say, whatever you want, and whatever you do; I am not going to care. If I am going to take care of you and if I am going to look at you, it is for my son and for this child that you’re carrying inside you.”
“Enzo…”
“My word is final.” I said, stopping her as I turned to the door. “You can rest until then. Don’t worry, Bella and I already spoke, and I can bring you a wheelchair if you need it. You don’t need to worry about walking. I’ll be sure to take care of everything…”
