Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 241

231-Risking It For Helel

I briskly marched into the house after Pamela had ruined my mood with her offer. I was in shock initially, but now I was just angry.

"Think about it," she said when she saw me rush into my room and slam the door shut. Mom shut the diary; she had been busy writing something in it, and she watched my face.

What happened now?'" I swear she rolled her eyes as if I were the only mess in her life.

"What have you been telling her about my dragon?’ I demanded to know the truth about her actions from her.

"The same thing I tell everyone just in case they notice you acting up," she shrugged, not even looking concerned or ashamed that she was caught lying about my dragon again.

"Ace is not a seductress; she is just frustrated," I muttered, glaring into her soul, but I noticed how she swiftly opened her diary and wrote something down.

"Ace!" she mumbled when jotting it down. I couldn't believe this was how she was responding to something so serious.

Do you know what Pamela told me today?' I continued to speak to her in a serious tone. If she thought she would mess up things for me and I would not even object, then she is a fool.

She told me I should sleep with her son to keep her and him happy,’ I muttered. Even remembering her words made me gag. How could a woman suggest another woman sell her body? It is not my choice, so why would she make that decision for me?

What? Her creepy son? Did you tell her no, fuck you?" She said this casually, since she wasn't the one who had to tolerate the torture at work at the hands of Pamela.

I did. Don't expect any chicken soup anymore,’ I told my mom, as this was the only thing she thought was torturous.

"What? I need my protein,’ she argued, jumping out of bed and arguing with me as if I had made that decision.

"I don’t care about your fancy food or desires, mom. I’m not giving myself to that asshole," I muttered as I moved closer to her face.

She stared at my face for a few seconds before she nodded in agreement.

"Then we will need something to hold on their heads," she snapped her fingers, coming up with a plan. Elex was doing some dirty work for Vasquez and Sofia. I am sure he will have something in his bags to blackmail them for,’ she said to herself, but I shook my head at her.

"I am not looking for more trouble with those two," I refused to get into another mess.

Fine. Then I will only take things that suggest I was —Elex's —sidechick," I am sure she didn't care, but suddenly she was ashamed of herself for ruining a relationship.

I don't blame her solely for anything. Elex was as much at fault as she was, but it v/asn' t about these two now. I wanted to get out of here, but only after I had gotten some answers from Markus, and so far, he hadn't shown a moment of decency where I could speak to him.

"What are you doing over there?" I played innocent, smiling at him and probably confusing him.

"You never smile for me. What do you want?" he asked, resting his elbows on his thighs and not acting so childish now that his mother wasn't around. Since mom wanted me to distract her, I had no other option.

"I v/ant to talk about your drawings,' I said, marching slowly toward him.

"Did you find it?" he asked. "I lost something the other night. I am sure you found it." He had a very light smirk form across the corner of his lips.

"This one?' I pulled the drawing out of my back pocket and showed it to him from afar.

"The resurrection of someone," he smiled, his eyes locked on mine.

"Is it true? I mean, is it possible?’ I asked, making slow steps toward him.

"Why don't you come upstairs to learn about my drawings?" He got up the stairs and started walking back to his floor. I stayed in my spot for a minute before deciding that v/as the only v/ay to find answers.

So I followed him.
