Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

250-The Accidental Truth.

'What happened to you back in there?" I asked Maddox after he had calmed down and sat in the car

with me.

'Why would you let her order you around?" He turned to me, opening his seatbelt to get into a

comfortable position to stare at me.

’Because I am an employee who doesn't want to lose her job. Besides, it is unfair that they work their

asses off and I get a pass because---,* I didn't finish my sentence, but he understood.

’Okay, Miss Righteous, I understand you want to do the right thing, but do you think it is fair to ask

someone who has been through trauma not only 24 hours ago to not take a day off? You still showed

up. The least she could do is thank you and give you a half day. Wait! Why in fact, is she the in

charge?" He then hit the steering wheel after arguing with himself. I wasn't even talking anymore.

He was extremely annoyed about something, and for sure, Pamela's words had angered him.

’I am fine now. Can we go? I am kind of worried about my mom." I said, taking a deep breath and

gently rubbing my hands.

There had been something else going on in my life that I wasn't able to speak to anyone about. I

needed to get those pills from my mother to hand them over to Maura for her mother.

Nov/ that I was noticing how little was left, I couldn't help but raise a few questions.

What will happen if we take her out and then run out of pills? What will happen to me when I run out of

pills?

Beatrice!" Maddox's gentle nudge to my shoulder broke my attention from my miseries to him.

’Is there something bothering you?" he asked, focusing on the road. Look! We are looking for Flynn,

and even if he isn’t found or convicted for his actions, I promise to stay there with you, for you." He

promised, but I was a little lost now. I had a huge argument pending with Zane that evening as well.

*1 would suggest you go back home soon," Maddox said as he stopped the car near the hotel and

looked at me with wishful eyes.

*1 will. Thank you for giving me a ride," I said and walked out of the car, taking the elevator and

reaching my suite. Mom was passed out until I arrived. I could tell she had been using the hotel's spa

and had ordered a lot of room service. I don't know how I was going to ask her. We need to move back

because, after getting a taste of this life once again, I wonder if she would be ready to go back to

Pamela's place. I had no trouble living there. If only Markus wasn't such a creepy fuck.

Mom! You should also pack your stuff.’ I called for her, putting my clothes in my bag and also taking my

charger with me.

’What for?" Mom came out of the bathroom with a charcoal mask on her face and then passed me a

very disapproving look when she noticed what I had been doing in the room for the past few minutes.

"You are packing? I am not going anywhere,’ she shrugged her shoulders, shaking her head and

walking towards the terrace to absorb the beautiful view.

’We cannot stay here for too long. This is not our home,’ I argued, watching her take a full spin with her

arms spread around.

‘It can be. That boy is head over heels in love with you; use that opportunity to claw him and make him

do whatever you want him to do," mom hissed like a cat, bending her fingers like a cat and shov/ing me

her long nails that she had painted red.

’I am not doing all that. Besides, that boy is not that in love with me.’ I wanted to laugh at myself. My

comment stole my mother's attention too. She gulped and stood straight, not acting crazy anymore.

’Is it about what I told you last night? Oh, sweet girl, don't overthink. I was just joking.’ One could tell

she didn't care if he was truly in love with me or not. As long as she got to live her best life, she didn't

mind what was going on in my life.

The door opening was a sign that Zane had arrived. I hushed my mother for interrupting us and briskly

walked into the living room to have this debate with him that had been eating me up ever since it was

brought to my attention.

’Hey babe! How was your day?" He pulled closer and tried kissing my cheek when I pulled away from

him in haste.

’Okay! Is everything alright?" He caught it almost immediately.

’Nothing, she is just tired. That's all," my mother interrupted us with a huge smile on her lips.

’Go take off your mask, mom." I passed her a glare that should have been an ultimatum for her, and

she understood.

'You look very angry. Did something happen?’ Zane tried getting closer to me once again when I

stopped him by shov/ing him my palm. My mother had left for the room, but I knew she must be

eavesdropping on us.

’I went to work today," I said, watching him gently run his finger around his temple before smiling at me.

’You should have rested," he uttered, definitely noticing I wasn't done yet.

’And I spoke to Maura," I said, watching his facial expressions change, "And Zane! She told me

everything." As soon as I said that, he closed his eyes and grunted.

So it was true. She told him I had been abducted, but for some reason he neither looked for me nor told

me he knew.

’Why? Why did—," Before I could finish, he started talking, and Oh! I wasn’t even going that direction

on the route he took me.

’I had ended things with her when I became official with you." He said this, making me stop moving for

a minute.

I was in a state of shock and probably waking up from the fantasy world.
