Sharing Beatrice A Luna to her Stepbrothers
Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2 Chapter 324 Not A Saint âSo, I have been trying to remember where I went before my memory blocked out aâ,â Reign sketched his temples sneakily, steeling her eyes from all of us but especially from Maddox, who frowned.
âAnd-what do you remember?â Maddox asked.
âI have been to someoneâs apartment,â she whispered, âbut I donât remember what I did there,â she instantly added, but obviously the secrecy was very telling. âReign! Could you stop sharing half-truths about information? Tell me, where did you go before you blacked out?â Maddox turned to grunt at her, asking her very aggressively.
Title of the document âIt is okay if she doesnât want to share. She can just tell us what she did there,â I interrupted him to spare her from his glares.
âBut what is all this secrecy about this place? Who was she with?â Maddox had definitely noticed that Reign was hiding something, and it didnât sit well with him. âYou two can talk about it in private. You donât have to press on her in front of us,â I eyed Maddox, telling him to stay off and stop nagging Reign. After hearing me take her side, she gave me a weak smile and then tucked her hair behind her ear.
âWhat?â Maddox instantly shook his head to dismiss the rumors before they grow, âthere is no need for us to discuss anything in private. It is not like we are dating or something,â his scoff and shrug wiped off the smile from Reignâs lips. I couldnât believe how easy it was for him to upset her and ruin her mood. âMaddox!â I grunted, and in response, he gave a jerk to his shoulders.
âI was at the guyâs apartment who I had been seeing,â Reign finally said it with a lot of confidence.
Maddox seemed like he had seen a ghost after he heard that from her. Helel lowered his head and started smiling, probably enjoying his brotherâs misery. Reign looked confident, since she had no reason to feel guilty or ashamed of herself.
âYou are seeing someone?â Maddox finally asked her, looking very bothered but trying to sound casual.
âYeah! I was with him that night,â she said, not stealing eyes from Maddox this time.
âAnd you didnât tell me?â Maddox was now focusing on her, and it was clear that he was beginning to lose his calm with her.âWhy? We are just friends, so why do I need to tell you that I have a boyfriend?â She continued with an attitude, and I loved her confidence. He had been treating her this way very badly.
âAh!â Maddox nodded and laughed, âyou had a boyfriend, yet you kept coming for my d*ic*k. Does he know what kind of girl he is dating?â This time, Maddox took it too far.
Reign gasped and then turned her head down, while Helel straightened his back on the couch to stare at his brother.
âApologize!â Before I could say a word, Helel grunted at his brother.
âWhy would I?â Am I lying though? She kept it a secret from me and probably from her boyfriend, too. How am I at fault while she is the victim?â Maddox grunted and got up on his feet to tower over us.
âYou said a few minutes ago that you guys are just friends, and now you are claiming you two slept together?â I muttered to him.
âAnd she agreed to this dynamic. I told her I would not take her seriously, and she understood. If I knew she had a boyfriend, I would not have touched her. The fact that she is playing both sides and sitting here all sad and victim-like is just so infuriating,â
Maddox made his point and grabbed his phone to storm out of the house.
âIâll go check on him,â Helel said, instantly getting to his feet and rushing after him. âDonât go too far. Nobody knows you areâ,â
my words left dry in my mouth when Helel left the premises in a hurry.
âHe is not wrong!â Reign whispered under her breath, âI am a cheater here.â
âBut why did you do that. Reign?â Now that it was the two of us, I questioned her.
The disloyalty and dishonesty were the reasons I refused to give Zane any more chances.
âHonestly, I donât know. I just felt like I wasnât cheating on Mr. Mykel,â the moment I heard that name on her lips, I realized the guy she was dating was none other than Mr. Mykel.
âOur trainer?â I almost yelled in shock, âwait! when did you twoâ,â
âRight after he gave me that powder test. I just couldnât get to someone who could help me, so I turned to him. Heâmade attempts but I guess I looked for his attention. After the crowning got delayed, he promised to prepare me for it, and we grew closer,â Reign mumbled in her lowered tone while making sure she didnât raise her eyes to look at me.She looked ashamed of herself, but honestly speaking, I could no longer blame her.
âReign! He was older than you and had authority over you. He used his power over you to take advantage of you,â I sat down with her and held her hands, âit is not love if you donât even feel like you are cheating on him when you are sleeping with your mate. You had daddy issues, and he knew way too well how to use them against you,â I muttered while recalling his face.
He looked and acted so decent. No wonder he wanted us all to take those tests so that he could use our vulnerable secrets against us.
âBut he never forced me,â she argued.
âCoercion is the same. Now tell me, did you really want to take part in the contest where you have to kill your sister in order to wear that crown?â I asked, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head.
âBut what other choice do I have? If I surrender, my father would choose the fate of death for me,â she said.
âWell, we will see about that,â I said determinedly, making the list of people who needed to be taught a lesson.
