Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 2
Chapter 297 – Maybe Reign Did It.
When Reign began to wake up, I called in Akin, and Maddox followed his brother. She was still changing sides and trying to open her eyes. It took her about ten to fifteen minutes to wake up entirely. But she didn’t wake up like a pretty princess. She jolted herself awake in a state of hysteria.
“I — am —here?” She was breathing loudly and looking around, asking nobody but someone that we couldn’t see.
“Reign! You are the Spade Mansion,” I shared a glance with the brothers before getting in the bed and gently cupping her face in my hands, “Look at me,” I realized she was still not awake or maybe stuck somewhere.

“I didn’t do it,” she murmured, “I wish I had n—ot,” she then frowned, closed her eyes tightly, and fell asleep again.
I don’t know about the brothers, but I have never seen something so creepy before. She didn’t seem to be noticing us but was talking to someone who wasn’t there.
“Where did you find her?” That was it. I turned to pass a glare to Maddox, who gulped and turned his face away. See! I knew he was hiding something.
“Maddox! right now is not the time to be acting like an a*s*shole, okay?” My comment turned Akin’s eyes double while Maddox pouted at me for talking to him like that.From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Just answer her,” Akin slapped Maddox’s chest with the back of his hand and eyed him to tell us the truth.
“I found her in the —woods,” Maddox answered, “near the hospital, covered in— blood!” He instantly buried his head when he told us the piece of information that he shouldn’t have hidden from us when he brought her here.
“What?” Akin questioned him. I know what he was thinking. I was worried about the same thing.
“She had a black leather overcoat that I took off and burned near the mountain before bringing her here,” Maddox explained, looking very suspicious. I bet he knew what we were thinking or what Reign’s situation was implying, but we couldn’t say it loudly at the moment.“Varisha is her mother,” I said with a sigh, “and she was present at the same spot where her mother was murdered. Oh! Not to mention, she was covered in blood, and—” I didn’t have to finish the sentence because Akin did it for me.
“You burned down the evidence. Is it what caused the mountain fire?” Akin stared at his brother angrily while I sneakily turned my head down.
I didn’t want to imply that, but if it was going to work in my favor, I would stay silent. It is not like collateral damage can cause any more troubles for Reign’s condition.
“I didn’t think it like that. I thought she had hurt herself because, recently, she had been very stressed out about the whole competition thing with her sister. I — didn’t know Varisha was killed,” Maddox began to defend himself, but honestly speaking, the part where he donned the coat was unnecessary.
“Why burn it if you thought it was her blood?” My question made him clench his jaw and stare at my face, literally yelling in silence that I shut up.
“Stop staring at her; she is not asking you something you will not hear again,” Akin slapped his chest again, stepping between us to stop Maddox from glaring at me.
“I don’t understand why she is asking me all these questions when there is no accountability to where she was last night or who she was with last night,” Maddox grunted as he checked his brother from head to toe and then rolled his eyes.
“Are you jealous?” I asked since I knew Akin would never question his brother’s motive for keeping bringing up why I had Akin’s coat on last night.
“Fine, I’ll be the honest one here. Yes! I am jealous, so tell me, how far?” I could tell what Maddox was asking me.
“That’s enough!” Akin bowed his head in his brother’s face immediately and eyed him to shut up.
“We are in a colossal mess if Reign did it. You understand that, right?” Akin then continued to tell Maddox how serious it is.
“I don’t think she is capable of doing something so brutal,” Maddox shook his head when his eyes landed on Reign. Even I didn’t think she could do it, but then I have seen the most innocent people do the most reckless things. For example, Maura sold me to her bastard so-called father figure just because she wanted to save herself and her mother.
People make mistakes and even commit crimes, sometimes when they are threatened and sometimes unprovoked.“She might have gotten into a heated argument with her mother over the fact that she was left at the mercy of her father, maybe?” Akin suggested a possible reason why the murder happened.
“The heart being missing could suggest she thought her mother didn’t carry any affection for her daughters in her heart.
Because, apart from the missing heart, Varisha was stabbed twenty times in her face, and it was not an accidental act. It seemed so passionate,” Akin was roaming around, trying to think of any other reason why Reign could have done it.
“Can we wait for her to wake up before we a*s*sume anything, please?” Maddox sounded very low on energy at this point. The girl in question wasn’t just some innocent girl; she was also Maddox’s mate, so he had every right to be worried for her.
“I think we should go look for the knife she used to stab Varisha,” Akin suggested, and Maddox followed him out of the room with low energy.
I was shocked by the happenings. Reign couldn’t do it, or did she do it?
“Wonderful! It is amazing how everyone else gets the blame, but the one who was also missing the whole evening gets off the hook without being questioned,” that voice belonged to Sofia.
I knew she wouldn’t sit silently for too long. But here she was taunting me while reclining on the door, framing and clapping in little.
