Chapter 434 Let’s Play Her Back (Maddox Spade)

Ever since I told Zane what my brother had been planning for him with his baby mom, he was just lost. His emotions were all over the place. He would keep asking me if Helel was serious. And every time I responded in affirmation, it broke me a little, too.

“We need to do something about it,” I held his hand and patted the back of it, watching him nod his head faintly.

“Wait for a second, he is calling again,” I was shocked to see Helel calling me again. I wondered what else he had to say.

I attended the call and put it on speaker. Zane looked a little too hopeful, and I was, too. I was beginning to think maybe Helel had a plan and he would tell us he was lying to Gwen.

“I forgot to tell you something,” Helel said, raising our hopes even higher.

“What is it?” I asked, watching Zane smile a little.

“I received a call from Vincent early this morning. Something happened in the dragon’s lair, but everything is sorted out for now.

However, there is good news. Our Akin shone as the white savior,” as he told me that, both Zane and I shared a glance of confusion.

It was good news, but Zane seemed to have something else going on in his head.

“Ask him if Gwen knows about this,” Zane mouthed to me.

“Hey, when did you and Gwen find out about it?” I tried to be sneaky. My heart was loudly pounding in my chest at this point.

“Early morning. I told you,” Helel answered. I watched Zane straighten his back and clench his jaw.

“Alright. Thank you for the news,” I said, and we didn’t get to talk too much and hung up. Now I was watching Zane go through many emotions at once.

“What are you thinking?” I asked.

“Gwen didn’t ask for that dagger for you. She found out about Akin —,” he just had to say it that much because I knew the rest.“She is planning to kill the white saviors,” I guessed, and Zane nodded.

“Remember when she was first brought here? She was out here with Mykel. Who were the bad guys on team? I guess she returned to finish the job. She will kill the heroes—,” Zane was spot on. It all makes sense now.

“So now what?” I was losing my mind, thinking a lady was able to fool my hero brother. Helel was supposed to understand everything, but he was getting fooled by his emotions.

“She used the baby to control Helel. She knew he had the dagger, so she slept with him. Now, with the bond he shared with the baby, he is stuck to obey her,” Zane still held hope for Helel and decided to deem him innocent, just hypnotized by Gwen.

“They can put me in the cabin, Maddox. I don’t care. I honestly don’t feel like living after losing Beatrice, anyway. But I will not let anyone hurt my brothers. Not my Akin!” Zane looked me dead in the eye and grunted, the tears forming in his eyes hinting at the idea that when he tries to expose Gwen this time, he might end up in a brawl with Helel that he might not survive.

“Hey, I will not let you do anything alone. If they are going to kill someone, they will face me too,” I patted his shoulders to calm him down. But I could tell he was extremely upset at the fact that she targeted him first.

“Let’s find the dagger,” as I said that, Zane stepped back from me.

“We have to hurry up,” he agreed, and a big tear rolled down his cheek.

“If anything happens, just tell the baby that the great uncle was really great,” his broken smile and shaky words shook the world from under my feet.

“Hey, you will say that to the bay yourself,” I shook my head and refused to let him think this was our last mission together.

“I am—not going to let anyone use that dagger on Helel, Maddox. So, if he wants to attack me, let him kill me. Because if anyone used that dagger on him to save me, I will kill myself too,” the intensity he showed when making me realize he wasn’t even planning to fight Helel was just sad. I was also irritated because it seemed like they would fight him.

“However, just hide the dagger. Now that she is on Helel’s side and wants Akin gone, she will use anything—even Beatrice—to make the two fight. Whoever has the dagger will kill the other,” Zane explained, and every time he tried to tell me the plan like he wouldn’t live to see that day, I felt a stinging pain in my heart.“I know what to do,” suddenly his face lit up and he snapped his finger, “we can hide it somewhere Gwen would be too traumatized to go to,” the smile on his lips was very cute.

“Think about it. If the dagger is gone, Akin and Helel are safe. Eve Beatrice is safe,” he hissed, and another fear struck us.

This Gwen was going to use the dagger on Beatrice and Akin.

It all comes together well now.

“We cannot fight her because she is pregnant and Helel is on her side. So just trap me in the cabin until then so that Helel doesn’t get triggered, and hide the dagger at the same time until she gives birth. After that—let me out of the cabin and I will finish that cunning bitch myself,” Zane finally straightened his back now that the safety of Beatrice was in line.

I was too afraid of this plan. We then decided to hide the dagger in the vortex. After the volcano erupted, everything got ruined around the mountains. But that’s what made that area the safest to hide the dagger. Helel wouldn’t leave Gwen until she gave birth, and she would never go to the mountains because of the lava.
