Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

240-Maybe She Is The Reason

Maura’s POV:

Ever since I saw that horrifying act by Flynn, I couldn't be at rest.

Pamela told me to keep it to myself and not get involved.

She is closer to the brothers than you are. She can fight Flynn, but you cannot. If he finds out you are

the one who got him in trouble, you are gone. As for Beatrice! I'm sure any of the brothers will find out

about her being somewhere else. If not, I believe Flynn is taking her back to the mansion to probably

tell everyone the truth that she did trick Flynn into saying all those things on his engagement day."

Pamela tried to convince me by ribbing my elbow and saying things that made me even more

uncomfortable.

Beatrice was not at fault that day. She made him confess his wrongdoings. Besides, I cannot wait for

the brothers to find out. Every minute is crucial. I have to inform Zane." I refused to listen to Pamela

and sit on this information. I could tell she wasn't a fan of Beatrice, but to be so careless of her safety, I

wondered if Pamela even was a good person.

She must have noticed the quizzical stares I was giving her because she instantly held my hand and

said, ’It's true that I don't want her to return to our lives because she is taking advantage of my

innocent, sick son. No mother would want a girl so malicious near her son," she scoffed, explaining why

she was no longer interested in keeping a bond with Beatrice.

I understood her point. Ever since I found out Ubel had kept my mom prisoner, I have hated him more

than ever. Now I wouldn't feel bad if I hurt him.

"Also, don't forget, she is very close to Zane. Ever since he started dropping her off, he started

neglecting you," Pamela said before walking away to grill food for the customers.

What she said was perhaps right. She was living with her, so she must know more than I do. But how

can I be mad at Beatrice if there is indeed something going on between her and Zane?

It's not like Beatrice knows about me and Zane or that she owes me loyalty without knowing anything.

In that case, Zane would be the one who played me. I closed my eyes and grabbed my phone, shaking

all the thoughts from my head.

Evil or not, I cannot sit on this information.

I dialed Zane's number and anxiously marched around the kitchen. He did not return my calls, as he

had done previously. I was getting impatient and worried for Beatrice, so I left him a text.

Me: Please pick up my call. It's about Beatrice. She is in danger.

I sighed when pressing the send button. Somewhere in my heart, I knew I would feel rejected when he

answered my call after I told him it was about Beatrice. And that's exactly what happened.

Not even a minute later, he called me himself. I smiled defeatedly before attending the call.

Hello!" I answered with a murmur. It was so hard talking to him after that day. What was supposed to be

my magical first time with him turned out to be our last time?

What happened to Beatrice? Where is she?' he asked in worry. The way his voice sounded so

concerned, I felt like breaking down right then and there.

He meant a lot to me. So hearing him care for her and not give a damn about me was difficult forme.

"Flynn—Flynn forcibly took her away from US," I stuttered when recalling the terrible sight of her

abduction.

"That bastard!" Zane grunted. "How long has it been?" he questioned.

"I guess about 5 minutes,'■ I replied.

And what the fuck were you doing in those 5 minutes?" Zane yelled from the other side, making me

shiver and step back to lean against the wall for support. I have never heard him talk like that to me.

"I am so—," before I could apologize, he hung up on me. That was what he needed to do, I realized.

He never thanked me once.

"I thought you were wiser than that." Pamela had walked in on me when I was telling Zane about

Beatrice's abduction. I didn't answer her and sat down on the ground.

She seemed so annoyed that she didn't come to console me. I waited there on the ground for 3

minutes when Zane rushed into the kitchen and shocked US.

His handsome face's striking features had a little gloominess to them. He seemed so worried about her.

The black chambray shirt with blue jeans made him look so comfy to hug. But his arms were no longer

for me. His eyes didn't carry the sparks they once used to carry for me. And that hurt.

Where did he abduct her from?" he asked after briskly running to the backside when Pamela directed

her finger towards the door.

I got up after him and found him hysterically checking the ground to collect their scents.

"She was standing here." I pointed to a location where he could raise his head and look at me.

He didn't.

His sole attention was to find Beatrice as soon as possible.

He got up after collecting the samples from the ground and fled.

"He didn't even look at you. This should be a hint for you. In order to have him, you will have to

eliminate what is causing him a distraction.' Pamela came after me and gently patted my shoulder.

"Somebody got abducted for some sinister reason. Do you think he will have enough time to check on

me or romance with me?" I asked her, trying to think logically and not make this situation about myself.

You are a nice person, Maura. But I'm warning you. You will lose him if you don't fight for him," she

warned me one last time before walking away from me.

I didn't know what else to say, but I could tell Beatrice was more important to Zane than I ever was.
