249-Between The Brothers.
Beatrice's POV:
After Pamela told me that, I was lost. Mayra didn't comment on it either, and I couldn't pester Pamela to
go into details either.
I stayed silent, but that didn't mean I wasn't suspicious.
But before I could even think of going back to the hotel suite, I found out somebody was waiting for me.
I walked out of the kitchen to find Akin and Maddox in the cafe.
The instant Akin saw me; he got up and helped me sit down.
’I heard what happened. I am so sorry that happened to you. And I promise you I'll find him and punish
him in a way that he will think twice before even thinking about you," Akin yammered for a hot minute
before he looked at Maddox, who was scrutinizing him. Akin cleared his throat and tried stealing eyes
from his brother.
He hadn't really acted so passionately toward me before, so he probably shocked Maddox.
"Thank you for your concern, but I am much better now," I reassured him, not trying to talk about
Helel's body, at least for now, but he would get that from me very soon again.
'We are looking for Flynn everywhere but there seems to be no signs of him," Maddox then told me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhat was going on in regards to Flynn and justice for me.
'So he did so much to get the crown and then messed it up and ran away?" I started calculating why he
would get from harassing me and then vanishing, leaving everything behind that he had worked so
hard for?
'I don't know. It is not like he will never come back. If anything, I know he will have to return for his
mother," Maddox explained while Akin silently stared at me nonstop. His gaze was honestly too intense
for me, but I said nothing. He seemed to be scanning me to make sure I was fine.
'How are things between Lady Varisha and Lord Vasquez?" I then remembered how they were going to
get married, but after Flynn's engagement, no news really came out.
"They are still together, but I am not seeing that spark anymore," Maddox answered, but Akin's
sarcastic laugh made us turn to him.
'Just tell her," Akin rolled his eyes, "Dad is playing with mom's feelings too. He is holding them both by
their necks, making them believe he will accept and many either of them." I was in shock when he said
that in a very angry tone.
"So let's not even talk about them. Those people don't care. The man who can kill his beloved, most
competent son like that, he can do anything." Akin was not wrong, but it was only today that I noticed
such passion and anger in his eyes.
He looked different from before. The twitching of her fingers and neck after getting angry caught my
eye. He was now trying way too hard to turn my attention away, but I was watching him.
'Anyway, I will suggest you stay with Pamela and return home soon because the hotel is a pretty
unsafe place, with many strangers signing up for a room every day. I don't think you should be staying
there," Maddox suggested while stealing his eyes from me.
I couldn't help but say he was acting like it was more about me staying with Zane than it was about my
security.
"Yeah, I will return home today." I nodded.
'You two talk, I have some important work to do," Akin then excused after looking through his phone.
'Excuse me," Maddox's attention had gone back to the server. He had been asking us to order
something nonstop, so I guess he hadn't eaten anything since the last day and was starving.
"Take care and message me if you need anything, okay?" Akin told me in a whisper while Maddox was
talking to Pamela.
'Going to meet Miss Naughty?" I commented, and his proceeding steps stopped. Akin turned to me,
stopping in mid-air as he got up from the chair, and gulped.
’What?" he asked, and I shrugged my shoulders.
'I will not eat anything. My mom is alone so I have to get home quickly," I avoided Akin, but it seemed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike he was in too much of a rush to sit down and comment on that. Or maybe it wasn't my business.
He left while Maddox looked disappointed.
'You are not leaving before closing time, right?" Pamela interrupted my talk with Maddox, who even
straightened his back upon hearing Pamela.
’No! I will finish my work—," I didn't want to get into an argument with her, so I spoke nicely to her, but
Maddox wasn't thinking like that. He was hangry!
'Excuse me," he snapped his fingers for Pamela, getting her attention.
'Yes, Alpha King Maddox! your order will be on the way in a few minutes," she said with a smile on her
lips when speaking to him.
'Fuck that order. Who gave you permission to tell her what she should and shouldn't do?" Maddox
didn't raise his voice, but the anger could be seen in the hard clenching of his jaw.
'Oh I-," Pamela tried excusing but I knew there was no stopping Maddox now.
'She was just trying—,” I couldn't even speak because he wasn't apparently done with her.
'Don't give me an excuse. Just don't do that again. She is leaving for her hotel room right now, and if
anybody has a problem with that, I will speak to you when I turn this cafe into a private spa for her," He
slammed his hand on the table and said, "Tip for understanding my words." He left some dollars on the
table before getting up and holding my hand to drag me away from there.
"Maddox! let me just say goodbye to them," I resisted, but he was angrily making me follow him to the
exit and didn't even respond to me.
In the next few minutes, he had made me jog to his car and was now pacing around like an angry bull. I
was just standing there, watching him in bewilderment.
