Bewitched His Soul

Enzo took her right hand and placed it on his chest.

"Do you hear it? Every beat has your name on it. I will do anything to prove my sincerity." Enzo never thought there would come a day where he would need to convince the only woman he loved that he was genuine. But he did not mind any hurdles that came his way since he knew Hazel Ambrosio was no ordinary woman.

Hazel's eyes softened as she became aware of his every word.

"Next time, if you have any doubts, come to me. Don't let your peanut size brain work too hard," Enzo instructed.

Hazel pouted. She felt offended that he was making fun of her intelligence. Enzo chuckled and planted a kiss on her forehead. He parked outside the Ambrosio mansion, stalling, holding her hand, reluctant to let her go inside.

"We will start your mock exams tomorrow. It will be useful," Enzo stated.

"Enzo, tomorrow's the weekend," Hazel replied.

"So, what does it have to do with your studies?" Enzo questioned.

"Dad always wants the whole family to stay together on weekends. He never goes to the office during that time, so it would be impossible for me to see you," Hazel replied.

Tristan did not have a loving childhood. After his father died at a young age and his mother left him to remarry another man, he always felt alone growing up, so he craved for his own family. After getting married and having kids, he made sure he gave them enough time. They reserved the weekends for family.

This matter has completely slipped his mind, and Enzo's mood changed, not liking what he heard.

"It's just two days," Hazel tried to cheer him up.

"Two days is equal to 48 hours, 2880 minutes. It may be easy for you, but how can I stay away for so long?" Enzo nuzzled his nose in her hair, inhaling her sweet scent.

"We can call and text each other," Hazel answered.

"Ya, but not being able to touch you is punishment for me," Enzo said.

"I have to be at home before dad returns, otherwise he will get suspicious," Hazel reminded him again.

"Hmm, take care." Enzo squeezed her hand and waited in the car until she got inside the house safely.

After he started a relationship with Hazel, he did not want to be alone as he missed her too much. He feared he would end up outside Hazel's house to have just one glance at her. So he decided to go to his parents' house and Aurora was more than happy to have her son home.

Everyone was at the breakfast table when Aurora announced, "Next week my colleague's son is getting married, and he is younger than both of you."

Enzo and Logan continued to eat as if they did not hear their mother's words. Aurora knew they were pretending not to understand her hint, so she got to the point, "When will you both get married?"

Logan lifted both his hands in the air and yelled, "Don't look at me! Enzo is the oldest child. Let him get married first. I am just 24".

Aurora turned towards Enzo and said in a concerned tone, "Enzo, you're already 30. Do you even plan on getting married? I've never seen you get along with any girl. I don't even know whether or not you have a girlfriend. We don't have too many requirements for the girl. If she is a good person and makes you happy, then it's more than enough".

"Mom, stop worrying too much. I will get married when the time is right." Enzo did not say that he was dating Hazel, as his mom and dad would immediately tell her parents.

Right now, Hazel's feelings for him were not that strong, and she was with him only because he forced her and knew it was not very easy to refuse him. So if Hazel's parents tell her to leave him, she might do it immediately, but if they learn about it after Hazel has completely fallen in love with him. She might even go against her parent's wishes and would be adamant to be with him. Enzo was trying to be cautious with every step. He had waited for so many years, and now he cannot let anyone distract him from achieving his goal.

Aurora was about to say something when Dimitri put his hand on her shoulders and gave her a light squeeze. "He rarely comes home. Let him breathe and relax. We can talk about it later," Dimitri consoled her.

Aurora sighed as she knows her husband was right. Her eldest son always worked hard, day and night, so she did not want to bother him too much on his leisure day. Even though it annoyed her, Aurora kept quiet and ate her food.

After breakfast, everyone went to their rooms while Dimitri came to the study room where his wife was arranging some files. He put his arms around her waist and pressed her back to his chest.

"Why is my wife angry?" Dimitri asked as he placed his chin on her shoulder.

"Don't act as if you don't know," Aurora continued to check the file in her hand.

Dimitri turned her towards him, but she refused to meet his eyes.

"I don't understand why you are so worried about Enzo's marriage?" Dimitri asked.

"As a mother, how can I not be worried? All my colleagues' kids are getting married. Some are younger than Enzo, and they already have a kid. Tell me, are we putting any conditions on his future wife? You should see some people in the hospital nitpick such minute details about their daughter-in-law. Enzo differs from Logan. He is so closed off and aloof, I fear he may end up alone. He will not even smile at any girl, and acts as if nothing else matters except work," Aurora became emotional.

"Oh dear, don't let your thoughts run wild. Nothing like that will happen," Dimitri assured her.

"This is all your fault," Aurora complained.

"Now, what did I do?" Dimitri was confused.

"You exposed him to the business world too soon, which made him so cold and dominating. That's why women get so easily scared, and his one glance makes them run in the opposite direction." Aurora has noticed how rudely her son behaved if women showed interest in him.

Dimitri chuckled, thinking what his wife would say if she knew how many women were crushing on their son. In fact, his dark and dangerous aura made him more popular, as women liked to unravel his mystery and find out what was beneath the mask.

"Maybe he is very picky and is waiting for the perfect partner, just like me. See, I waited for 31 years to find you," Dimitri responded.

"Was it worth it? All that waiting," Aurora asked.

"Of course, more than worth it. I got such a beautiful and kind wife who gave me two adorable sons. It's another matter that they are not adorable anymore and are more like devil spawns," Dimitri confessed.

"I love you, hubby," Aurora giggled.

"God, I love you so much, never knew I was capable of feeling this much for anyone," Dimitri roamed his hands all over her body.

"These two brats will always stress you out. You need a break. How about we take a vacation to our new island?" Dimitri suggested.

"Sounds amazing," Aurora kissed her husband, to which he responded with equal passion, if not more.
