“How the fucking hell did he find out?” I snapped, glaring at Jacob as he entered the hospital room.
I knew that he was the one person who could have blurted it out to him. No one else would have known
to speak to Enzo about it.
“I didn’t tell your husband anything. The last thing that I would do is speak to him right now as I have other things to do, but I doubt that you are going to want to listen to a word that I am telling you to
begin with. Explaining this to you would be like…”
“Enzo wouldn’t have suspected anything. And for him to come back to me with a damn test, it means that he has been looking for the answers for a long time. I am neither foolish nor am I stupid to believe that this was something that simply JUST popped up in his head.” I said, glaring at the man whose eyes were calm as he looked me dead in the eye. His heartbeat was calm, mine was the exact opposite as I tried to allow myself to digest everything that was happening. The man couldn’t have possibly found out about everything. He wouldn’t have been able to find out about this if they told him.
“He wouldn’t have found out about it if you weren’t a fool. He has been suspecting things for a while, obviously, you just gave him the opportunity to find the right answers that he would have wanted to get.” He said, and I scoffed.
“I have done nothing wrong before that woman…”
I stopped, freezing as I allowed myself to process what I was going to say. Alaria couldn’t have known about this. This was something that I wasn’t even talking about, she wouldn’t have found out about things. I would have…
“She couldn’t have heard about it from someone,” I said, voicing out my pain and anger. “Alaria is not the one…”
“Even if she did tell him about what she knew, the man wasn’t going to believe her.” Jacob said, making my eyes widen in surprise.

“How the fuck do you…?”

“She knows of it, but she didn’t hear of it from me. She heard of it from Damon. The man told her about it to break Enzo. I just gave her the chance to believe that it was true.” He said, making my heart drop to
my stomach.
“The two of you played me like a fool…?”
“No one played you, it was you who played herself. The woman barely found out about things from us yesterday. It wouldn’t have been enough time for her…”
I slapped the man in the face, stopping him from what he was going to say. The fact that they gave her
something about me, something like this…
I
“Why? What the fuck did I do to you for you to go ahead and talk to her? Why the damn hell would
you…?”
“I doubt that you would have expected me to just stay quiet, allowing the two of you to live with Enzo,
him claiming my son, without me…”
“YOU are the one who sent me to live with Enzo. You told me that it was the one place where you would

“Well, now, I want to claim my son and woman as my own. I doubt that Enzo would be sparing you a second glance to begin with, and you seem to need…”
“I need nothing from a man like yourself. You are going to break everything that I have been working to build, and you are here, claiming that you have done ONE thing…”
“I didn’t claim anything. I said what I wanted, and you are going to submit to it. Otherwise, trust me, am not going to be very lenient when it comes to what you are going to be dealing with,” Jacob said, stopping me. “While you might not care right now, but I will have you know that the last thing that you are going to want to deal with is my wrath.”
4th.
“I am already dealing with the bullshit that you put me through, what more could you throw me into?” I asked, taking a step back.

“You are going to listen to every word that I am going to tell you right now, and I am going to suggest that you keep your attention on me. Trust me, right now, I am the one person who is going to ensure that you would be alive. I doubt that Enzo would do so, and now that he knows that Alonso is not his, the council of elders are going to be against you for lying. I don’t think that you are going to be able to fake the miscarriage at this point as you are going to end up being caught…”

“You already threw me inside the fire, and you are expecting me to casually get out of it? I can’t just deal with all of that on my own when YOU are living your life normally…”
“I am no longer living my life normally, Katherine.” Jacob said, stopping me. “If I am back here, and if I want my son, then I am here for power. One thing that you failed to understand is the fact that I never do anything to sit or chit chat. I am here for power, strength, and I will be sure to claim everything that has been taken away from me, and trust me when I say, I am not going to leave those who oppose me to
live.”
“Therefore, you have two options, Katerina.” He said, and I raised eyebrow at him, waiting for what he
was going to say.
“You are going to play me again, aren’t you?” I asked, and he shook his head.
“Not at all,” he said, looking me dead in the eye. “Not unless, of course, you force me to play you.
However, for now, I am aiming for my son and woman to be by my side and rise with me. It is time for us
to claim what rightfully belongs to us, and I mean, EVERYTHING that belongs to us…”
