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.

■'What would you like to get today?" I stole their attention with a mild smile covering my lips. I wanted to sit here and admire how handsome Zane looked in that gray t-shirt, but that thought took only a few seconds to scatter because his brother was not in the mood for a cheery server.

"Don't you see we were talking?" Maddox raised his voice and slammed his fist on the table. My smile faded instantly.
