Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 228

218-Eyes On Akin

Beatrice's POV:

Present Time:

The engagement ceremony had a very fancy layout. I couldn't even believe they were throwing such a luxury party, not after two months of Helel's demise. How could they forget about him so easily?

I kept my head down and marched into the living room to see Pamela.

Things have been awkward since that night. I didn't speak to Pamela, but I intend to ask Markus what the drawing was about.

'Did you bring in the batter?" Pamela asked me, rushing around and taking care of everything herself.

Maura had decided to take care of the cafe and also prepare food and send it here. I didn't get why she was so reluctant to join US.

'The car hasn't pulled up yet,' I mumbled, watching her gesture for me to get back outside and wait for the car.

I didn't feel like wandering around this mansion again.

'Okay!' Wanting to help Pamela and not dump all the chores on her, I left the kitchen at her motion to get the batter for her.

As I have informed her, the car that was supposed to bring the food and other items Pamela had requested hasn't arrived.

I stood outside in the parking lot, watching the beautiful decorations around me.

The front garden had been fancied up for the ceremony, with a gazebo and white flowers.

Taking in a whiff of fresh daisies and watching the guests arrive, I eventually looked down at the rags I was wearing. The white dress had turned gray in color now. I hadn't been able to take care of my skin or my hair. However, I must have very healthy genetics from my father's side for my hair and skin to still look flawless.

'Awe! I never knew you were dreaming of becoming their stepsister.' Mariah's voice could be recognised from miles away. The cringiness in the way she pronounces some words and then lets out a defeated sigh was very peculiar.

'Mariah! Congratulations!" I turned around after forcing a smile on my lips. She was looking pretty in that pink princess dress and a white tiara. I could tell she really did a lot for this day. Also, being accepted by an alpha king was what she had desired, no matter which one.

'Thank you! You must be so jealous because you were once dreaming Flynn would accept you," she shrugged, giggling and annoying me with her tone. I was keeping that smile on my lips to not give her the pleasure of taunting me.

'I wasn't as consistent as you, I believe. Who even betrays her boyfriend with his friend? Oh! Wait, I can tell who," I pouted, and then added, "You!'

Watching her grunt and look uneasy even when she was at the highest point of her life proved that no matter what you are given in life, you will still be unsatisfied and petty if your heart is black.

'You mean a pet?" I frowned. 'I'm sure even pets are treated well.' I rolled my eyes at her.

'See! That's why you are not a good companion to Flynn. He was a Lord's Blood and had to live like he didn't have a father. He wants to achieve everything that he thinks he couldn't get in his childhood,’ she scoffed after she didn't like my response.

With his little conversation, I learned a few things. Maybe what she was saying was true. Flynn wanted someone he could control. Not only that, but he took everything that the brothers had.

First, Zane's girlfriend, and then Helel's crown. I wonder what comes next.

'Oh, and by the way, Flynn had impressed his father with his new business ideas, so I'm assuming he will go one rank above Akin after some help from his father-in-law.

Although I really like Alpha King Akin, if Flynn is a good candidate, why not?' Pamela kept gossiping, but she accidentally helped me understand who Flynn's next target was.

'He is taking over the business," I asked her, and she shrugged.

'To not take over, but pretty much everyone will rely on his final decision instead of Akin's,' she added. No way I would let this happen.

I need to stop him," I uttered under my breath.
