Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee

216-There Is A Hope!

Akin dropped me home as I have asked him to do. Pamela and my mother seemed to have gotten into a heated argument, but by the time I arrived home, the two had calmed down and were waiting for me. Mom was in her room while Pamela was outside the house, nervously waiting for my arrival.

"Beatrice! I am so glad you have come back. I was so worried about you.’ Pamela began to chase me into the house. I didn't want to speak to her for now. What she did could have been avoided if she had used her words instead of her hands.

"I need space,' I muttered to her, rushing into the room and slamming the door shut in her face. I know now why she was so into begging for my forgiveness. She was very well aware now that Akin cared for me.

Once in the bedroom, my mom began to pester me. I saw it coming.

"Why didn't you expose her? If only you had been honest with him, he would have gotten US out of here.” Mom started nagging me for not telling Akin the truth about Markus and his mother.

"It's none of your business," I clenched my jaw, giving her the taste of her own medicine. If she can keep secrets from me, I can too.

I didn't have any reason to be honest with her and keep pleasing her. I needed answers from her, and she caused a whole ruckus out of it, and now she wants to talk?

It is my business. You are my daughter, and I care about you,’ she hissed at me, approaching me while I stood in the bathroom and washed my face.
