Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

201 -Blindly Following him.

Maura's POV:

I couldn't believe I would see Zane so early in the morning. I was very aware of the stress he had been dealing with after his brother's death. It wouldn't be the first time that we were meeting. Our secret meetings had been the best highlight of my day.

So far, we’ve only spent time together as friends. However, there were a lot of moments where I thought he was going to kiss me, but then he forced himself into behaving. I wished to speak to someone about him.

My first choice would be Beatrice, but since she was once their stepsister, I felt uneasy talking to her about him. Once I had walked into his view, I realized he was too busy with his brother to even spare me a glance.

They seemed to be arguing. I wondered if it was the right time for me to interrupt.

"Then there are other ways to help. Don't act like you are doing a favor for her,' I heard Zane muttering to his brother when I reached their table.
