Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 161

161 Everything is Falling Apart

"You know Maddox texted me. He was worried about you." Helel said after his statement turned everything awk- ward.

"What for?" I asked as I didn't understand why he would

be worried about me and then not call me.

"He heard Flynn had moved in. Zane and Maddox are also distressed over this whole situation. So you being here has worried Maddox even more," Helel explained, and I could only imagine how Zane must be feeling now, but something made me worry a little more about Maddox being scared for me.

"Wait a minute. What is Maddox worried about?" I said this as I locked my gaze on Helel's face.

"He is worried that Flynn would bully you again," he mum- bled, but I refused to believe him.

"Show me the text conversation," I said, watching a gulp run down Helel's throat. He looked like he had seen a ghost.

"I don't have it with me. I deleted it," he was lying. The way he stole his eyes from me was a sign.

"I can't believe you are lying to me, Helel," I said, grabbing the glass of juice and then pouring it into the sink. I no longer felt like drinking anything.

I don't know why, but Helel has assured me of his loyalty so much that hearing him lie deeply upset me.

"Beatrice! I don't understand why you are not ready to be- lieve he can be worried for you," Helel rushed over to the counter and sighed when he couldn't stop me from spilling the juice. One could tell he was upset that he had ruined my

"It is not that I don't believe that. I just know for a fact that Maddox wasn't only worried that Flynn would bully me," I ex- plained, and this time, we were facing each other with not much space between us.

"What are you trying to say?" he asked me with a hint of acknowledgment.

"He is worried I will let Flynn smash," I scoffed and folded my arms over my chest. Helel had an instant disgusted look on his face as he pulled a step back from me.

"No!" He shook his head, but it was clear that he was lying.

I stared into his face and then gently slid my arm free from his grip. His eyes were like the ocean, but I was afraid to take a boat and ride in such water, especially when I knew my honesty would hurt him.

"It's all taken care of, so there's no need to worry," I mum- bled as I walked upstairs.

Just the instant I was in my bedroom, I received a call from none other than Maddox. He must have heard from his brother that I was talking about breaking up with him.

"Say quickly what you have to say because I have to be with my mother," I said the instant I answered his call. I couldn't tell how he would talk to me, but I knew for a fact that I would try not to take his words to heart.

"You complained that I didn't give you a chance to tell your side and attacked that asshole. Fine, I am giving you a chance now," Maddox said from the other side, making me. raise my brow and scoff.

But then I realized I would have asked for his side as well if I had found him in that state with someone.

"I wasn't sleeping with Colt. That night! I didn't take my medicine, and my wolf was coming out and causing me agony. I was in the woods and thankfully Colt found me, he took me to his cabin to calm me down and that's when you ar- rived and thought we were hooking up," I explained, not feel- ing like talking about our relationship but since it was the right thing to give him an explanation, I did.

I didn't want to be a brat and just expect him to under- stand everything on his own. However, I was still upset over the fact that he hurt Colt, and now he is facing execution.

"Did you know about Colt?" His question made a gulp run down my throat.
