Chapter 532
Sharing Beatrice A Luna to her Stepbrothers
Chapter 532 He Deserved a Second Chance I was speechless when I found him standing in front of us. It was like seeing him for the first time again. Tears began to cover my eyes as I realized I was really there.
âMaddox!â Akin ran in front of me and came to the mirror. Only to stop and look at it when he realized he couldnât really touch it.
âBrother!â hearing it from Maddoxâs lips was strange. It reminded me of when I was alive.
âIâve missed you so much,â Akinâs voice cracked, but I realized how quickly it recomposed itself because there was a stopwatch on the side. As I let him spend his time with his brother, I looked around to discover that it was Reignâs doing. She had used Maddoxâs heart to connect him to this world for the last time. He was able to speak to us through a large mirror. Now that he was watching it, he hated Zane more than ever.
It was because of him that we looked so desperately in the mirror when he could have been sitting with Maddox and being able to touch him.
âIâve missed you too,â Maddox replied, smiling faintly.
It seemed as if Helel and the others had already talked to him. They only had a few minutes to leave, so everyone hurriedly said goodbye to him.
âIâm so sorry I couldnât... protect you,â Akin stammered, finding it hard not to cry.
âIt wasnât your fault. You could never have guessed it,â Maddox shook his head to prevent his brother from blaming himself for his death. âYou too Helel. You have proven to be the best brother. You were always there for me. You wanted to protect me but I was blinded by my love for my twin,â he lowered his head and shook it, smiling faintly. You can tell he doesnât cry anymore thinking about that day.
âWe miss you,â Helel said as she carried Evelyn in her arms to show her.
âBeatrice called her Evelyn,â Helel said, and Maddox started looking for me. I came from behind and stood aside, hoping not to burst into tears in front of him. We didnât have enough time to spend crying.
âThank you. How I wish I could hold her in my arms,â Maddox looked at Evelyn and pouted.âIf you donât mind, can I talk to Beatrice in a little privacy?â As he requested out of nowhere, I found chills running down my spine.
Akin and Helel nodded and said goodbye while Reign stayed with me because she was the one holding the heart and doing the magic.
Once everyone walked away, I walked over to the mirror and tried to touch my hand against his.
âI heard you cried a lot,â Maddox muttered, wanting her to look into his eyes when he was busy holding back tears.
âIf I had known you would feel so much for me after my death, I would have died a thousand times until you fell in love with me,â
she whispered, and I began to cry hysterically.
âI miss you so much. Why did you have to leave? I couldnât take it anymore. He was my partner and someone who wanted to redeem himself and be a better version of himself.
He deserved a second chance. Why did it have to be him?
âHey! You know what I think?â he said and I nodded for him to continue, âI donât mind leaving. Iâm in much more peace here. It wasnât easy for me to live and not be with you. For some reason, my life had become you. Iâm glad I left when everything was fine,â his words made me smile but then I burst into tears again.
It wasnât easy to look at him and say, âOh yeah, now that youâre happy, weâre happy.â
I would have wanted it in my life. âJust so you know, youâre supposed to choose your peers. They make you stronger,â his words made me frown as the others had started coming out again to watch him disappear.
âI will always carry you in my heart,â I said, touching the mirror as he tried to touch me on the other side.
âThatâll be all Iâll want,â he said with a comforting smile. âBut how do you expect us to live without you?â my lips trembled, feeling Akin gently rubs my back to calm me down.
âYou must be just there, brother,â Helel was sobbing and struggling to hold back tears. We all loved it very much, and Zane snatched it from us. We can never forgive him for what he has done to us.
âI will always have them in my mind. Iâm living the best life here, thatâs also true. I am more interested in helping those who have come here by force,â he said as he tried to tell us that he was coping well and even helping others forget what they had lost in the human world. I couldnât help but wonder who else I had met there. And donât even think Iâm alone here. I came acrossDream. Sheâs happy that her sister got revenge and sheâs proud of her and very happy for her and Colt,â Maddox surprised us with the extra information he gave us because Reign couldnât talk to his sister. âGoodbye!â he then waved his hand as my knees began to weaken. I was having a hard time letting go, but I had to and then it disappeared.
âMaddox!â I let out a scream and as I was about to fall to my knees, I felt Helel hold me on one side and Akin hug me on the other.
They cried with me for hours because it really wasnât possible for us to find peace with Maddoxâs death. He will always remain someone who deserved to live.
