Allyce froze for a moment, sat up expansively and spoke thoughtfully, “You mean Eka wants to run for the next presidency and Grizzi’s people are going to interfere in the presidential election, so she’s come to you to take care of Grizzi for her?”
If that were the case, wouldn’t Eka be forcing Severo to take the risk?
Grizzi is something! The biggest international mafia organisation!
Even if Severo had money and power, he was not one of those dehumanised mafias, he was just a businessman!
Severo’s head is on its side, resting on one hand, the quilt draped over his chest in a particularly sexy way.
His voice was soft and slow: “You guessed it, how clever, he rewards you for being on top”.
“On top of what?”
Allyce frowned, turning her head to see the jocularity in his eyes, snatching up a pillow and smashing it hard against her face, “Severo! You’re still joking at a time like this!”
Severo smiled and pulled back the pillow, pulling Allyce back with him, his voice low, “Put your clothes on first.”
Allyce: “…”
…
Hearing Severo’s words, Allyce became concerned.
He continued with a worried look on his face until dinner time.
Severo let out a faint, invisible sigh and said: “If I had known, I might as well not have told you.
“Don’t you dare!” Allyce raised her eyes to glare at him.
Severo lost his smile: “Not to worry”.
“It’s all my fault, if I hadn’t been captured by Eka, you wouldn’t have ….”
Severo put down his chopsticks and stopped coldly: “Shut up, I don’t want to hear that again”.
Allyce froze at his scream and sat there, looking helpless.
Severo also felt his tone was too harsh and softened his voice, “Even if it doesn’t get you, it will get Xabat, it will get Neto, anyone who could potentially threaten me, could do it, and besides … you are my wife, we are destined to live our life together, for you do whatever it takes, I will gladly do it.”
Light, but solemn and serious words, with a reassuring power.
He was not the kind of man who could talk about love at any time, his duty and his love were hidden in his heart.
Severo added: “So don’t think about this nonsense”.
Allyce’s eyes moistened slightly and her voice cracked a little: “How can you not think about it, Grizzi is a mafia organisation, they have no humanity, how can you control them, they are outlaws, criminals, you are just a businessman!
By the end of the sentence, the tears were out of control and Allyce pressed her palms against her forehead and buried her head.
She still felt she had dragged Severo with her.
He had heard so many rumours about Grizzi, things that could kill people, that it was impossible not to panic and worry.
Severo heard her sobs and stiffened slightly.
He approached her and hugged her gently, whispering, “Don’t cry, it’s not as bad as you think, Eka came to me because she believes in me. Give me a son, okay?
The last words, Severo said in a whisper, like a murmur.
Allyce still heard it.
She looked up and stared into Severo’s dark eyes, which held an expectation she could understand.
Severo reached out and wiped the tear stains from his face, “I’m going to be thirty, I’ll be old if I don’t become a father …”
Allyce bristled, “I didn’t say anything like that …”
“So you’re saying yes?” asked Severo cautiously.
It had been so long that he hadn’t dared to talk to Allyce about the baby again.
However, he had just said it in a moment of inability to contain himself.
His face remained expressionless, but there was a faint hint of apprehension in his features.
Allyce looked a little uncomfortable and kissed him: “Let’s see how you do.
Severo was stunned, then lifted Allyce up and spun him around several times.
“Ah – my hand … hurts, hurts, hurts!”
Hearing Allyce’s scream, he hurried to set Allyce down and looked at her arm as he said, “I’ll do what I can”.
That solemn look made Allyce’s heart flutter.
He was about to say something when he heard the sound of a car coming from outside.
She and Severo looked at each other and headed for the door.
The two had just reached the door when they saw Tajo, who had led a group of people to the door.
As they looked at each other, there was surprise in the eyes of several people.
Allyce pursed her lips tightly; she didn’t know how she was going to deal with Tajo.
Tajo was Severo’s grandfather, but he couldn’t help feeling bad for Tajo.
Tajo was the trigger for what happened two years ago.
Had Izar not been allowed to stay at the villa, Izar would not have been able to intercept Oliveria’s test reports, and would not have known that she was pregnant, which would have set off the chain of events that followed.
Enzo and Senona were too short compared to Izar, and both were being used by him.
“Why is she here? As soon as you came back to J, you didn’t come to visit me at the Solares family castle, instead you stayed here with her, do you still have me as your grandfather in your eyes!”
Tajo had received the news of Severo’s return to J, but he had never returned to the Solares family castle.
Since Allyce had disappeared two years ago, Severo, who was no longer a close friend, had become even colder, which made Tajo even more uncomfortable with Allyce.
Allyce greeted him with a deadpan “Old Mr. Betances”.
He then turned to make a cup of tea for Tajo and placed it in front of him before turning to Severo: “I’ll go up first”.
With that he turned and went upstairs, to Tajo’s exasperated gaze.
As soon as Allyce had left, Severo spoke a little impatiently: “What could have brought you to my house to see me in person?
“You don’t visit me in the castle of the Solares family and I can’t come to see you? Tajo raised his voice in disgust, his tone charged with gunpowder.
“If you want to see me, just let me know. I knew Allyce didn’t want to see Tajo.
When Tajo heard this, he was so angry that he slammed the teacup in his hand: “What, you brought that woman back and you won’t let me go to your house?
“She is my wife.
Severo fiddled with a cigarette in annoyance and looked at Tajo indifferently, “Because my mother didn’t listen to you, even when she died you didn’t care how she really died, and two years ago you got even angrier with Allyce when you found out she was the daughter of the man she loved before she died. …. Although I myself was to blame for what happened afterwards, you were one of the instigators, I separated from her for two years, my unborn child is missing, I don’t want to hate you and I want you to stay out of my business with her.”
