318-Let's Kiss Only.
'I can't believe you are back," Zane held Hefei's hand and squeezed it for comfort, while Maddox
stayed hugging Helel even when they had sat down.
’All thanks to Beatrice," Akin said to turn their attention to me.
’Akin kept him safe. If he hadn't kept his body, I would have never been able to bring him back to life," I
gave them an awkward smile, remembering how we used to sit awkwardly around the kitchen island
back when I had first met them.
Maddox broke the hug and straightened his back on the couch to look at me.
’I guess you are not here to take revenge on us then," his comment stole the attention of Helel, who
was still trying to get a hold of everything and refusing to wear a shirt.
’Is there something else I need to know," Helel asked since he had been told everything except for this
very part?
’Maddox believes he ate her brother," As soon as Zane said it nonchalantly, Helel spat out the protein
shake he finally got Akin to make for him.
’Zane!' Akin grunted while scolding him. There was no humor in any of this.
’But isn't it true? Our parents fed him Beatrice's brother and probably would have fed him Beatrice as

whatever he thought was right.
’It is true. I think— I am that kid because I have heard my mother tell me countless times that she
wishes she hadn't taken the big decision of saving me because I am such a disappointment to her,"
Maddox lowered his face as Helel hugged him. The brothers probably didn't know Sofia had been
mentally torturing Maddox whenever he went over to live with her.
’You were just a kid, and having those nightmares had affected your ability to study and other stuff.
What happened was our parents’ fault. Don't think of it as your mistake," Akin instantly got up and sat
on Maddox's left side, sandwiching him between his big brothers and also my two love interests.
’I think —I remember something like that,’ once again Helel found himself lost.
’There is no way you could remember anything. It all happened when you were still dead," Zane
mumbled, and Helel turned to stare at him in silence, as if he were trying to convey some message.
’Dead!" Helel mumbled, still looking at Zane. Maybe Zane's words triggered some memories.
’That’s it. When I was dead—," Helel rolled his eyes at the irony, 'I saw some stuff related to the war
and our parents," he snapped his fingers.
We all shared a deep glance and got excited to hear what he had seen. Maybe the Moon Goddess
showed him some secrets.
’But I don't remember what it was," as he softened and leaned back, so did we.
’I think it is too soon to be expecting you to recall everything. You should take a rest while we head out
and take care of —the case," Akin said, sounding upset when remembering his friend.
I just met her and lost her. It was saddening.
After Helel gave them a nod, the brothers got up and started pacing out of the house.
’Take care of him," Akin murmured, then walked away to his car. Maddox stopped many times in his
steps but then decided to follow his brother while Zane stayed behind.
’Thank you for everything. Once again, you saved us,’ his eyes expressed emotions when he smiled
weakly at me.
I wished to talk to him and ask him about Maura and her mother because I have been worried about
her lately, but right now, Helel needed me. So I just gave him a nod and walked back inside.
’I wish I could have met her and thanked her for keeping my sexy body intact," Helel uttered, making
me laugh.
’Yeah! But I think you should wear a shirt now. We all saw you are still fit, okay?" I said, walking in the
direction of the couch.
’Shirt? I have been thinking about taking off my pants too, but I don't think you can handle that," he

"Maybe you are forgetting I have dealt with it before," I rolled my eyes playfully, taking the cushion out
of his hand and fixing it nicely.
'You didn't say it back," he whispered when standing behind me. I took a deep breath and dropped the
cushion to face him.
He was looking into my face for answers with loving eyes.
"I have been waiting for you to come back for a very long time. Helel. The day you left, I sort of
changed. I don't know how I lived those months in those fields, but I cut off your brothers from my life,
and the only time I would contact them was when I needed to know where your body was. I cannot tell
why I felt like seeing you again, but now that I am seeing you alive, my heart probably knew you would
come back for me. If that does not explain my answers, then—," I paused when he cupped my face in
his hands but said nothing.
'You did it for me. Helel. You saved Colt for me despite the hatred your parents had been feeding you
for ages. You still did it for me. Love is a small feeling compared to what I feel for you. But since it is
mandatory and your alpha ego wants to hear it," I laughed a little when teasing him, ”1 love you!"
My words made him close his eyes while still holding my face in his hands before he drew his lips over
mine and gently kissed me.
I knew it would be just us kissing for a while before he healed perfectly, but it meant the world to me.
