Chapter 114 - The Betrayed Luna They Want
MICHELLE’s POV.
I actually didn’t mean to lash out like that but I hated the way they were ogling at Enzo even when they knew he was married. How can humans be so shameless?
Thinking about it, I can’t help but feel more angry. How can they do that?
Is it because I look pregnant now? Maybe I look to fat and they think I am ugly.
I slowly pull away from Enzo and continue to stare back at him, my gaze darkening with each passing minute.
“Enzo Phillips” I call out to him as I fold my hands across my chest, “did you perhaps bring me here so other ladies can ogle at how handsome you are?”
“Of course not babe” Enzo responds as his lips curl into a smile, “don’t allow what those ladies say get to you okay?”
“Do I look fat?” I ask him again.
“Of course not” he answers again, “you don’t look fat, you look like the same Michelle that fainted beside my car a few months ago”
“Liar!!” I blurt in anger while rolling my eyes, “you are clearly the center of attention now, why don’t you become one with the acropolis then?”
I can’t get over the fact that other women have their eyes on him even on a different soil, I feel like keeping him in a room and locking him up.
Enzo encircles my waist and pulls me into his embrace,
“Do you want me to walk around with a mask? I will gladly do that for you, kitten”
“I just want to go home” I tell him, “I have lost the ethusisam to tour the city”
I see a slight frown appear on his face, “are you being serious right now?”
“Hmmm”
“Okay…. His voice trails off when my eyes immediately light up at rhe sight of an ice cream truck coming through.
“Can I have an ice cream?” I ask and hubby’s forehead creases into a confused expression.
“You are not a fan of ice cream, babe”
“But I want it now, get me a scoop”
After I am done, I walk over to a nearby chair and lower myself on it, my gaze not leaving the man who is now walking towards the truck.
I can not lie, he looks so majestic that it is hard to keep my eye off of him. I can totally understand why those ladies were ogling at him, I would do same if I was in their shoes.
He is putting on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt while his hair is tied up in a bun and that clean undercut gets me all the time, i really can’t even describe his handsomeness. He is too surreal for me to even begin to describe.
“You love your husband so much” someone says beside me and I turn aprutly to see an old lady beside me and her gaze is on Enzo who is now conversing with the ice cream seller.
“How did you know he is my husband?” I can’t help but ask the old lady as my eyes travel around her. She looks very pretty and familiar, I just can not pinpoint where I have seen her.
“You cleary called him that” she turns her head to me, “and I can see he loves you dearly, more than life itself and I hope you will always see him for who he is ”
“What do you mean?” I ask the old lady again and she chuckles lightly.
“Make sure to take care of yourself, my dear”
Just as I open my mouth to answer to her, Enzo walks up to me with the ice cream cone but the lady beside me is already gone making me more confused. I didn’t know when she came to seat beside me and now I am not aware of when she left.
“Here you go” hubby says as he stretches his hand towards me and I collect the cone from him.
“Did you see the lady that was seated with me a while ago?”
“Hmm” he nods, “she left when I was coming to you”
“But I didn’t see her leave” I tell him, “and she’s old, how
can she walk that fast?”
“You do not have to bother yourself about that, Mish” he beams, “people can come and go as they please”
“I know, just.,.” The words hang in my throat when his mobile begins to beep and he answers after the second ring before putting it on loud speaker.
“Hey, Enzo” it is Izzy and my face breaks into a smile when I hear her voice, i actually miss her a lot even if it had only been a day.
“What’s up, Izzy?” Her brother asks her, “why did you call?”
“How’s your honeymoon going?”
“Get to the chase, sis” the man besides me retorts, “I am kinda of busy”
“Well, your antidote is ready but I won’t be able to send it to you. Everyone else is busy here at the pack house doing all the work you melted out and we can not leave Nicholas on his own even for a minute”
“Then I will take it when I get back” Enzo tells her and I refute.
“No” I blurt out, “you will take it as soon as possible” I further add, “let’s have Maria bring it”
At the mention of Maria, I see Enzo’s gaze darken for a moment but he immediately masks it up.
“Have anyone else aside Maria bring it, Izzy”
“Everyone is busy here, who….
“Do as I say Izzy!!” Enzo grits in anger and confusion envelops me, why is he so upset all of a sudden?
Izzy ends the call while Enzo starts to slurp on his ice cream without saying anything again.
I am sure something is amiss, the Enzo I know will not react in a way like this.
“What happened Enzo?”
“What do you mean?” He asks me back, avoiding my gaze at all cost and this makes me more suspicious.
“Are you hiding things from me again?”
Hubby lets out a heavy sigh before he turns to me and I can see a serious look on his face, one that I have not seen since we arrived here.
“What is going on babe?”
“Didn’t you promise not to think about such irrelevant things?” His eyebrows raise in a questionable manner, “so why are you asking questions now?.
“And I have not broken my promise, I am only asking what the problem is and why you are suddenly pissed about your assistant bringing in the antidote for you”
Enzo goes silent again, I can feel he is trying to contemplate on something which I can not readily pin point.
“I hate the fact that you keep hiding things from me, Lorenzo” I blurt agtee a while, “you claim you love me but you never tell me anything and allow me to always find out by myself”
“That’s not it babe” he returns his focus to me again, “ i just want you getting worked up over something so small”
“Then fucking tell me” I am almost losing my mind, “what’s up with Maria?”
“After a few few seconds, Enzo clears his throat again and starts to talk.
“So I discovered she had asked fhs pilot to take the plane somewhere else that night but I managed to wake up from my sleep and I dealt with my pilot.
For a moment. My mouth hangs open as I try to make meaning of what my husband had just said.
“Maria did that?”
“That’s why I don’t want her to bring the antidote for me” Enzo grits, “she is behaving kind of funny, I want her to reflect on herself or lose her job” his eyes darken as his talk but none of that matters to me. It’s the fact that she even dared to do something like that that annoys me. How dare she?
Gosh!! I am so upset just thinking about it.
“Do one thing for me, Enzo” I turned my attention back to him, “I want Maria to bring the antidote for us, tell her”
Enzo scoffs and i know he can already guess what I am thinking.
“Because I think it’s high time to put that meddling bitch in her place”
