Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 206

196-The Remains!

Maura took me inside and sat me down to calm me first. Maddox and Reign left the café after he was done reminding me how I am the reason his brother is not here with us today.

’You are probably not understanding it right now, but you are also a victim." Maura said, tugging the strand of my hair behind my ear.

‘Flynn blackmailed you into having sex with him. That's the worst,* she said sadly, "no matter what excuse you make for that night, he did wrong. It isn’t even about you thinking you were using him; you were not. You know that when victims go back to their rapists, it is their mind trying to take power back. The victim is not at fault," she said, talking some really deep stuff. My mind was frozen and locked away from all the decent debates. I just wanted Flynn to suffer, just the way they made Helel suffer.

’That's why Flynn must die," I whispered. "Claiming to love someone is not enough. We have to find a way to show it," I mumbled, rubbing my palms and sitting against the wall in the kitchen.

’What if you are hurting someone else along with me?" she asked.

’No amount of sacrifice is enough for your loved one, Maura. Sometimes, we just have to choose one person over the other." I sighed, lowering my head, and realized I still had my mother to argue with.

*Do you want to go home and rest now? I will fill in for you." She patted my shoulder, and I nodded to her.

’What about your dad?’ I asked.

*He will not return for another few hours, anyway. He will be passed out drunk somewhere," she shrugged, getting up from the floor and holding her hand out for me.

’Thank you, Maura," I hugged her for comfort the instant I was on my feet. Since she had reassured me, I left the café in peace. While walking back home, I kept preparing an argument that I was going to have with my mother.

I kind of got the idea what she paid that disgusting man for. But I just wasn't sure how to confront her. It is never easy to ask your parents why they sold you for one night. With my mother, though, it would be even more difficult.

Previously, she used to make sure I didn't lose my virginity, but now she is very open about wanting me to sell myself so that she can have a relaxed life.

While walking through the tall grass, I was uneasy. The memory of the dead body being found flashed, but it didn't last for too long because I didn't lose my path today.

Since I arrived before Pamela, I had enough time to talk with my mom before Pamela arrived and heard any of the conversation we were having.

I stormed straight into the room to find my mother with a new cellphone and watching videos. So this is what she did with the money she got for selling me?

’How dare you! Who the fuck are you to decide what I should do with my body? I slept with Flynn because I was not left with any other option—," I yelled, but that's when my mother used her next-best weapon. She raised her hand to slap me.

Before she could even hit me, I held her hand and walked closer to her.

’Don't fucking touch me again," my threat triggered her, I could tell. She used all her force to grab me by my shoulders and then pushed me behind so hard that I landed on the floor.

I knew she had lost her mind and would not let go until she had beat me up for good. And I wasn't going to take her hits today. So I got up from the ground and ran toward the exit.

The moment I entered the tall grass, I tripped on something and went face down. I knew I had tripped on another body this time, but this body was placed right close to the house at the very entrance of the field.

I got up hesitantly to run away when my feet froze.

I steadily turned around and recognized the decomposing body.

’Helel!’ was all my lips could murmur.
