Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee
Chapter 86 – Selfish And Needy!
After he said those words to me, I felt like a part of me had stopped listening to me and had become his slave.
Zane made me walk downstairs to wait for Akin. But I had
some burning questions for him while I waited for the car.
“Did you finally break up with Mariah?” I asked, making him stop his steps instead of walking away. He was really leaving me in this dark parking lot. I get that he could make his way back home faster than a car, but I was afraid of the dark.
Mr. Olis had informed Akin that I was going to stay till late and finish the work he had given me. Akin also spoke to Zane to make sure I wouldn’t be left alone.
“I don’t know,” Zane shrugged his shoulders instead of giving me a solid answer.
“But you should know. She cheated on you with your best friend. Not only did she hurt you but took away your friend from you,” I said without thinking how he will take me for bad- mouthing her in front of him.
“Are you trying to break us up because you think you will have a chance after that?” Zane asked in a demeaning tone. He slid his hands into his black pants and shook his head in the air, not looking at me.
“I didn’t say that,” I whispered, grasping my bag’s strap miserably.
“Good. Because that’s never happening,” he reminded me in the most negligent tone.
“Are you going to make her your chosen mate?” I asked out of curiosity. I didn’t like Mariah. She was a mean person, and if she were to ever come and live with us in that mansion, I would hate it so much.
“Not her,” he answered, watching the trees dance with the wind in the stormy night.
“Then who?” I asked, feeling bad for myself. I was acting really d*um*b and clingy, and I was aware of it. Guess the whole “friends with benefits” thing was not for me. I didn’t like them approaching me and then leaving the next minute.
But can I blame them? I made that choice with my full senses.
He gave me his infamous silent treatment, but I could tell he was really thinking hard over something. And then he said the name that I hated even more than I hated Mariah.
“Do you know anything about Gwen and my brothers? I mean, did any of my brothers mention having feelings for her?” He asked while keeping his eyes on the space ahead.
I couldn’t even react properly as I felt like he had punched me in the gut. He was really asking for her after doing it with me?
“What is so special about her?” I asked him, feeling tears burning the surface of my eyes and making my sight hazy.
“f*uc*king let me go,” a man yelled but it wasn’t the type of sound that would make me think my life is in danger. Some- body else’s life was in danger. The real issue was that I had missed the evening pill because of staying late in the hotel.
My first reaction was to imagine someone coming for me, but that wasn’t the case.
I looked around to see where the noises were coming from and found the only place to be a tight street across the road.
“Give me that boy!” a man with a grunting voice yelled back at the boy. I stood in my spot, gulping the fear down and wondering if I should take a look and maybe try to help the person in need.
“Selfish and needy!” I whispered as I closed my eyes, re- calling the words said by Zane.
“I am not selfish,” as I said that, I sprinted across the road to help the victim, who was getting mugged by a giant man.
I almost lost my steps when I entered the street and saw a big guy, probably over 6 feet 7 with a heavy build, holding a k*nife and threatening a young guy my age on the ground.
The mild scent of cinnamon hit my nostrils almost immediately. I couldn’t tell what this scent was, but it was intoxicating.
“Help me,” I then raised my head and watched the guy on the floor look me directly in the eye and call for help.
