Lyra Hades
The ride to his house took us three hours since we were moving from one city to another, and after what seemed like forever, he pulled over at parking lot of his apartment. I initially thought he was going to take me to the packhouse and probably dump me in the omega quarters where i
it Lise was before I left, but surprisingly, he took me to his apartment instead.
I pushed the door open and alighted from the car.
“I will help you with that” I almost didn’t believe those words were coming from Enzo when he offered to help me get my bag from the trunk.
“Don’t worry.
- ry. I will take it myself” Regardless, I didn’t give him a chance and went ahead to get my luggage from the trunk. I had turned to leave when he held my hand, pulling me back.
“Don’t be stubborn and let me help you with that, Lyra.” He stated coldly, and I scoffed. If it was back then, I’d have been shaking by now, my heart beating fast, but I felt none of that. My fear was replaced by resentment and anger as I threw him a glare and scoffed again.
I snatched my suitcase from him and proceeded toward the entrance door. Thankfully, it was open, so I made my way inside. In all three years that we were married. I’ve never been here for once. Enzo never allowed me to come to his apartment, and I never bothered to
“Where will I be staying?” I turned to him and asked, looking him in the eyes once he walked inside. Something I’d never dare to do in the past. Seeing the shock and surprise in his eyes gave me a feeling of satisfaction
“Come with me.” He grabbed my suitcase and snatched it from me. He didn’t waste another second before proceeding to the staircase, and I hesitated before following him. However, he stopped just before he took the staircase, turning to me.
“Did he change his mind?‘
I asked myself, looking at him, but before I could wrap my head around what was happening, he came to me and swept me off my feet effortlessly. causing my heart to flutter.
“Wh_what are you doing?” 1 stuttered, batting my eyelashes as I swallowed a breath.
Enzo didn’t say a word as he climbed the staircase, staring right ahead. He only stopped walking when he walked inside the room which I presumed to be the master’s bedroom because any other room couldn’t be that big. He carefully dropped me to my feet.
“I already had the maid prepare bath water for you. What would you like to eat?” He asked me as his eyes gazed into mine, and I could swear that they looked different. Those eyes that used to stare at me with hatred and disgust, were suddenly filled with emotions and softness. Something I didn’t need now if that was really the case.
“Can you get my bag, please?” I asked him instead, and he gave me a brief stare before he nodded as he muttered a ‘sure.
“Thank you.” I muttered, turning away fro
from him.
I raked my hair with my fingers after Enzo went outside to get I my bag. I honestly didn’t want to be here, but what could I do!
A smile crept up my face as I stood in front of the mirror, rubbing my hand on my baby bump. My baby was the only happiness I had now.
My attention was drawn away when I heard the door opening, and I turned to see Enzo walking inside with my suitcase:
“You should shower and get some rest while I go make dinner. I will have the maid arrange your clothes in the closet for you later.
I squinted my eyebrows confusingly when I heard him say he was going to make dinner. That must be a slip of the tongue because no fucking way would Enzo ever cook for me. I wasn’t even sure he knew how to cook because I’ve never seen him do it
“I’m not hungry, I just want to rest. I told him, going to sit on the sofa in the spacious room.
“Don’t be stubborn, Lyra. You need to eat. For the sake of our baby.” My stomach grumbled at that moment as if it had been waiting for him to say that, and 1 bit my lip hard, turning my face away.
“I will go make something for you” Enzo left immediately, and I huffed.
I’m carrying our
chilar
My heart wrenched painfully and I clenched my jaw tightly as those words replayed in my head. What the fuck does he want from me when another woman was already carrying his child! Why couldn’t he just leave me the hell alone to live a peaceful life with my unborn baby?

Texhaled deeply and went to lock the door before going to the bathroom to dower, not after I stripped out of my dress
An old lady in her mid–forties was carefully arranging my clothes in the floset when I stepped inside the room. She stopped and turned to me with a smile on her face as she said. “Good evening, ma’am.”“”
“Good evening.” I returned her greeting awkwardly. The last time I remembered, Enzo’s maid was a young lady of about the same age as myself. How come it’s an old lady here? Is she the maid’s mothert
“My name is Claudia, ma, I am your maid. I am here to assist you, so let me know if you need anything. I will always be at your service” She bowed to me with a smile on her face, and I slowly nodded my head.
The urge to ask her about the previous maid kept hitting at me, but I kept reminding myself that it wasn’t my business, hence, I shouldn’t cross my boundary.
“It’s nice to meet you, madam.“I paused, not knowing the right way to address her. She looked like she would be almost the same age as my mom, and it won’t be right to address her by her name.
Talking about my mom, I’ve missed her so much. The last time we saw each other was when I was thrown in as Enzo’s substitute bride.
I know this is hard, daughter. Please do this for the sake of your people. Alpha Enzo won’t spare us
A sigh tore through my throat as I recalled how she had desperately begged me before I accepted to stand in for my sister back then. It was all that bastard’s fault that I haven’t seen my mom.
“Claudia, ma. You can just call me Claudia.” She said with a soft smile on her face, and 1 slowly nodded.
“It’s nice to meet you,” I respected her decision since it’s what she wanted.
She left my room once she was done arranging my clothes, not after asking me if I needed anything and I told her I didn’t.
I just finished getting dressed when a knock came on the door, and Enzo walked in after I ushered in whoever was there.
“Dinner is ready. The sweet aroma from the tray of food graced my nostrils when Enzo walked inside, and my stomach immediately grumbled. hungrily, my mouth salivating at the beautiful sight in front of me. And when he dropped the tray on the table and opened the plate, fuck! It looked so good
