Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2
Chapter 244 – Cold War
“I will go call the doctor.” Reign watched us uncomfortably stay silent, so she excused herself and rushed out of the room. Now that it was just the two of us, I noticed how silent Maddox was. He was hunching down and resting his arms on his thighs and his face in his hands.
“I thought Zane had told you,” I said, feeling awkward that he found out this way. “No! it is no problem. It is not like I deserve to know it from you,” he said, straightening his back and running his hands through his hair, fixing his attire before turning his chair to face me.
“It happened all—of a sudden,” I explained, feeling awkward.

“I get it,” he nodded. “I hope he is treating you right,” Maddox then commented, and I nodded to him.
“He is very nice and respectful to me,” I replied to his comment.
“Reign is a very good girl. She is sweet and faithful, and I think she likes you a lot.” Before I could go on from there, he silenced me.
“Thank you for your suggestion, but I guess I am fine,” he said, being a bit rude when dismissing me. But I wasn’t offended. I know he was feeling some type of way.
“Zan—,” as I tried to ask him about Zane, the little scoff from him confused me. “Yeah, where is he? Somebody f*uc*king kidnapped you, and he is out there probably wasting his time with his friends,” The way he said it, I wasn’t a fool to not understand he was trying to tell me Zane doesn’t care about me because he can’t even keep me safe.
“Maddox, that is really unfair. He probably doesn’t even know. Did you inform him?” I asked him and watched him roll his eyes at me.
“Why would I ask him? I didn’t know you were two had become an item,” Maddox scoffed. His attitude has changed in a few minutes.
“Can you call him now?” I asked, hoping he wouldn’t make it any more difficult. “I know my brother. I don’t want to call him and get you upset,” he shrugged. My eyebrows went up as I tried to understand what he meant by that.
“What do you mean by that?” I tilted my head, staring at him deeply.
“Huh! You will find him with his friend and probably some girls too, and that will upset you,” Maddox claimed. He got an eye roll from me because I wasn’t born yesterday.
I have been through a lot and I knew at least this much that Maddox was saying all this out of jealousy.
“I cannot believe you,” I stated confidentially. “Just call him,” I insisted.
He stared at my face blankly for another minute before he gave me his phone to call Maddox myself.
I grabbed his phone and called Zane’s number. Maddox was constantly watching me, making it awkward for me.
The fact that these two were taunting each other and arguing over who came to save me first was befuddling.
“Are you upset that I found her?” Maddox raised his voice, his eyes throwing darts at Zane.
“You could have called me and told me sooner,” Zane argued with him. “How was I supposed to know anything? You are accusing me for no f*uc*king reason when you should be thanking me for saving your precious gem.” Maddox’s comment turned my cheeks red. Zane groaned as he stared at his brother for using such words for me.
“Guys! It wasn’t a match, and I wasn’t trying to see who would find me first,” I scoffed tiredly.
“Anyway, I’m here now. I saw Reign outside; you should go be with her,” Zane told Maddox, who exhaustedly passed us glares before getting up from the sofa.
“You know, you should stay focused on her more. There are many people out there who want her or want to hurt her. She is a precious diamond; keep her safe.” The way Maddox explained my importance to Zane, I looked down and stole my eyes from him.
“That’s why you lost her,” Zane shrugged as he returned it to him.
“That’s why I’m advising you. If you don’t want to be in my position, treat her right and with care.” Maddox made only a few seconds of eye contact with me, and in those few seconds, I saw tears shining in his eyes.
After Maddox left, Zane turned to me and hugged me again.
“I’m so sorry; I had no clue he had done that to you. But I promise you, I’ll find him and put him on trial for his actions,” Zane promised, holding me tightly.
