Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

Chapter 171

Maura's POV:

I've been working my ass off every day, but nothing has pleased my father.

He was incredibly dismissive of my emotions and feelings. Even when I did everything I could. However, that wasn't the only issue.

My dad assaulted me in the kitchen a few days ago, and Beatrice saw it. Although I'm not sure if she saw his face, I was embarrassed.

I didn't know how it started or what went through his head, but he came to me. The way he aggressively attacked me left me so stunned that I couldn't even defend myself. I hadn't been able to process the whole situation in days.

I have not looked my father in the eye. And neither mentioned nor excused his behavior. It wasn't like he was drunk or anything.

"Maura! Somebody left this on the table for you." Pamela walked inside with a small box in her hand, along with the empty plates.

I frowned, grabbing the gift box from her. I shook it near my ear, thinking somebody was trying to prank me, but it wasn't a prank at all.

"Seems like somebody has an admirer," Pamela teased, hurrying up into washing the dishes so that she can leave. We have been working the whole day and even now. It was around midnight when we were wrapping up all the work to depart for our homes.

Ever since the Alpha Kings started coming here, our cafe has grabbed attention. And my greedy father increased the work hours

for us. The cafe used to close early before, but now we had to keep engaging till midnight.
