255-On A Mission With Akin.
’That's ridiculous; how can you lie like that?* Akin had dragged her into the empty office of the doctor to
have a word with her. Varisha was shamelessly passing glares at me, as if she truly believed her son
hadn't tried hurting me.
’I have never seen someone as shameless as you. No wonder you gave birth to such a disgusting
creature,’ I muttered at her, watching her clench her fists at me.
'How da—?" Before she could even take one step closer to me, Maddox stepped between us and
backed her down.
’Your son kidnapped her. I found her in the cabin he had bought. And what's interesting is that he had
managed to buy the exact cabin that is protected from any sort of magic,’ Maddox stated, watching her
nervously gulp and then fold her arms over her chest.
'I don't care what kind of lies you are coming up with for my son but if anything happened to him, I will
make sure you all pay severely,’ she threatened to us, "I have spoken to Lord Vasquez, he will be
taking a flight to here soon. And then we will see how Zane gets out of this trouble just like he always
does," she hissed, staring right at Zane, who was standing in the comer, looking unbothered.
We were all waiting for him to say something in his defense, but he was standing there as if he were
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe culprit. The door to the office dramatically opened, and in came Lady Sofia. I almost forgot about
her, but from the looks of it, one could tell she had come hereto fight a battle.
’How dare your nasty tongue spoke of my son's name? You know well my son never did that. Even
when your son is dying, your focus is to drag him along instead of demanding the authoritative gammas
find the monster." Sofia's eyes were red from anger. She was shaking when making statements:
"Listen, bitch! I will prove my son innocent but that will be the last time you and your son had got my
sons in trouble because from now on, I don't give a fuck who gets Vasquez, I got my son's back,’ Her
dramatic entry and speech were very impressive; however, I don't know how she was planning to do
any of that.
Varisha didn't argue with Sofia, as her sons stood beside her like a shield. The awkwardness ended
when Varisha stomped her foot and left the room.
I am sure the doctor told her Flynn was out of danger, so she was now running around trying to put our
lives in danger.
’Zane! You have to come with me," Sofia ordered, passing a brief glance at me.
’No! I am not going anywhere,’ Zane scoffed, shrugging his shoulders and showing a careless attitude.
’It's not the right time to cry about your breakup," Sofia said, and I could tell she'd learned this from one
of the brothers.
’I am not. I am a bad guy. Let me get whatever is thrown my way," Zane said, probably trying to make
me understand why he wasn't defending himself.
'You are being immature. That's not how you are going to act after you messed up," Akin raised his
voice as he reached for his brother to knock some sense out of him.
When Zane didn't respond, Akin continued, "You taking the blame for something you didn't do is like
you trying to guilt-trip Beatrice for taking a stand for herself and her friend."
’He understands that." Sofia stepped between the brothers and spoke softly to Akin, who only rolled his
eyes at his mother.
There was a weird energy whenever those two communicated. Sofia always looked his way
apologetically, and Akin would grunt and look away from her. The lack of eye contact or the vibe they
gave off whenever they did make eye contact was eerie.
’Then why is he acting like a brat? Why don't you ask her?" Akin shrugged his shoulders, and just like
many times before, he turned away and refused to make eye contact with her.
’Fine. I will have a talk with him but also want to speak to Beatrice,’ she said, calling my name out of
nowhere and shocking me. "Alone," she then added.
"Why?" Akin was quick enough to interrupt, "You can talk to her in front of us.’ His not wanting us alone
has to do with the fact that she hated me. We weren't sure what she would say to me once we were
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmalone.
’Please, I am not here to argue with someone who has only shown her loyalty to my sons, and my
son's safety is in her best interest.’ She acknowledged my sincerity to the boys, which was a shock to
all of us.
’It is okay. Akin. I will be fine," I then gently nuzzled his elbow to get his attention. Zane was making
sure he didn't divert his eyes from me.
After I reassured the boys I would be fine, they walked out of the office one by one until there were only
the two of us remaining.
’What is it?" I asked, folding my arms over my chest.
’You know why my son is reluctant to defend himself? He didn't take the breakup very lightly. I have
never watched Zane cry and come beg me to make things right between you and him. I know what he
did was wrong, disgusting—," she paused when I scoffed.
But you still want me to accept him just so that I can't mend his broken heart?" I asked, thinking that
would be her best way to persuade me.
’No!" She, weirdly enough, shook her head while deepening eye contact with me.
’I broke up with Vaz when I found out he had cheated on me. However, I wanted him to fight for me,
which he didn't, and I ended up being the one who begged him to give our relationship a chance.
Looking back at my behavior, I turned the situation around and looked like a guilty person when I was
not. So no, I will not ask you to do something like that and then live the rest of your life in regret.
However, as a mother, I am begging you to go with Akin and find evidence of your kidnapping.* She
surprised me with her thought process and also requested that I work with Akin to find the evidence.
