Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee novel Chapter 317

307-Found Him.

"Right now?" I heard Akin say to her in his shocking tone.

'But— I am kind of busy," he resisted until he went silent for another minute, and then his demeanor changed.

'What? okay! I am coming,' he said in a very panicked state and hung up. I rushed back to the couch where I was sitting before and pretended to be busy on my phone when he arrived in the room again.

"Okay, so!" he cleared his throat, 'Umm, I have to be somewhere right now—," he could tell himself he had to give me a proper excuse to leave when we were busy discussing such an important issue.

'Actually, mom needs to be tamed for now. I am not sure how long till she starts telling Dad about your identity, so I have to be there and make sure she understands me," he said without a gulp, making me wonder how someone can be this good at lying.

Honestly speaking, it broke my heart. If only he had been stuttering, I would have thought he was having a hard time lying to me, but sadly, that wasn't the case.

'At this time of night?' I asked him, with a clear sign that it sounded sketchy.

'Yeah! She will get angry if she finds out I am here with you. She definitely heard the news that I found you, and Zane tried to calm her down, but if I don’t go there right now, she will assume I am here, and then there will be no stopping her,' he sighed while stealing eyes from me.

There it was!

The guilt of lying to me. I gave him a nod and watched him grab his watch and leave the house, but right when he was about to cross the door; he stopped and turned to look my way.

'I will be back soon, okay?" He looked so down when I nodded, and he had to leave.

’So? Don't tell me that wasn't sketchy. His mother can’t be miss naughty unless they are into weird shit,' Ace, being insensitive, didn’t know when to stop, but it was also not a lie that Akin lied to me. I kept staring at the door before getting up and finally deciding to follow Akin.

’He should not be hiding things when I told him my biggest truth,’ I said, grabbing my coat from earlier and starting my journey to catch him with Miss Naughty.

Whatever she was doing by calling him late at night, she must have something going on. I remember Akin telling me it was complicated, so I wanted to see how complicated it could be for him to lie so bluntly for her.

I still had my scale in my pocket when I called myself an Uber and gave him the address to the same house where I had seen Akin with someone.

Throughout the car ride, I couldn't help but chew on my nails and think about everything that had happened today.

'Maddox is the one who ate our brother. I can sense that energy from him. But don't you think it is weird that he sees himself being bowed by demons from hell? Couldn't it be---,' Ace stopped because she had made me uncomfortable enough to shift in my seat and look outside the window.

You are trying to imply he is a man from hell?' I asked her after controlling my nerves.
