Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 261

251-I Was Once In Love With A Chea..

'What did you say?" I asked, hearing my heart beat louder than ever. The slip of the tongue, I believe, landed him in an awkward situation. But I would call it a big red flag.

'You as— what did you two talk about?* He shook his head and then forced a smile across his lips when he realized he should have first asked me to elaborate.

'Ab—,' I paused, watching his expression as his words played through my mind. I could be honest with him and give him a chance to tell me the truth, but then again, I didn't want to give him a chance to lie to me.

’About your relationship with her," I lied, playing along. He closed his eyes to let out a sigh and then clenched his jaw. He wasn't happy that I found out.

’There is no relationship anymore," he said, and that was enough to stop my heart from beating for a second. My whole life flashed before my eyes as I saw my fantasy world crumble before my eyes.

'When did you break up with her?* I kept playing along, recalling everytime I saw Maura crying. Was it because of him? It has to be. But why did he hide his relationship from me?

*1 didn't yet, but I cut contact with her," he said awkwardly, probably thinking I'd be too grateful for it.

'Then why were you talking to her last night?" I asked with much difficulty. It was clear where he went last night, and from the bit of conversation I heard, it didn't seem like he had broken up with her or cut ties with her.

*1— she called and wanted me to come—over," at least he was trying to be honest at last.

'And you went there." I closed my lips and smiled at my misery. When did I become such an idiot as to not even question anything? Everybody was literally giving me hints they had seen him with someone, yet I ignored it all and acted like a fool.

"No!" He shook his head, but I could tell he was lying. The way he stole his eyes from me was just pure evidence of it.

'Zane! Don't fucking lie to me!" I yelled after I couldn't take it anymore. He raised his hands to calm me down, but I was not going to let him lie to me anymore.

*1— It is over now, okay? I'll call her and tell her we are over," he said, taking little steps closer to me, but I kept walking away from him.

'So you—what happened between you two?" It took me a minute to ask him that. The way he tried shaking his head, but my eyes and tear-filled glare made him lower his head, caused me goosebumps.

'After------ getting turned on by me, you went to finish it with her?" I asked with a loud

gasp. My heart could not take it anymore. I fucking trusted and loved him.

I was stunned.

’Does she know?" I asked, not even crying anymore.

'She has an idea, but she knows if she questions me, I will leave her. Everybody knows you are always going to be my first priority," he said, smiling at me like a fool.

'You scared her of the possible rejection and that gave you enough freedom to fuck around? You don't even fucking deserve any of us." I yelled, unable to express my frustration.

"Do you even realize how wrong you are? You made me fucking betray my friend? The only person who was nice to me when I had no one to talk to?' I covered my mouth with my hands as guilt struck me.

All this time, I can't even imagine how she must have felt when she hugged me to calm me down. She was knowingly taking care of her beloved's sidechick.

’Beatrice! Look! I love you.' He held my hand, but I pulled away.

'It's over!" As those words escaped my lips, his eyes grew in size.
