Sharing Beatrice A Luna To Her Stepbrothers by Alexis Dee Book 3
Chapter 596 – Saving Him! (Beatrice)
“She is my nothing?” Akin asked the guy, leaving the man on the ground and getting up to face the other one who was holding him back. The way he looked him in the eye and confronted him about his statement left me bewildered.
“Sir! What I meant was, you don’t know her personally. Whatever he did, you punished him already. I think it is time to let go,” the man awkwardly tried to explain himself. I could tell he was probably his assistant, so he was worried about his reputation. I didn’t want Akin to k*ill that man too.
But Akin didn’t like what he was hearing because he instantly grunted and clenched his fists again.
“She is not no one,” he yelled, then he grabbed my arm and pulled me before the other guy to show me to him. “She is not no one. She is my fated mate.”

His words left me silent. I frowned, and so did others.
Even Akin suddenly let go of me and stepped away. Gloria quickly came between us and snatched me away from him. Thankfully, Akin didn’ t stop me again.
He let me run to the kitchen in the back with Gloria while he dealt with the aftermath of the mess.
“What the heck was that?” Gloria asked me, sitting me down to offer me water and comfort me.
“I don’t know,” I responded in heavy breaths. Ever since the whole commotion, I couldn’t rest.
It was as if my breath got caught in my throat. Something was just not right, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.
“Hey! Are you okay?” she asked, rubbing my back as I kept shaking my head.
“I don’t know,” was all I could say repeatedly.
“Maybe you should take some time off,” Kevin suggested as he arrived to check on me.
“No! I really need this money. I will stay. Just let me catch my breath, and I will start working again,” I insisted the moment I heard about leaving the job for the day. I knew for a fact Mr. Landon would be very upset if I left.
“Hey! You will get paid in full. It’s not like it was your fault. Besides, I will speak to Dad; he will not be upset,” Kevin assured me, making me shake my head nonstop.
“Beatrice! He is right. You should go home and rest. All this was too much for you,” Gloria joined in, and I finally began to feel like they were not wrong.
I didn’t know if I could continue the shift after all that.
“Okay! But are you sure your father will not fire me or cut my pay?” I asked Kevin, who smiled a little as he shook his head to reassure me.
“He listens to me. Remember when you were let go after the interview? I hired you,” he said, and my jaw dropped.
I remembered Zane and Maddox made it seem like they got me hired again. Wow! What liars. Made me wonder if Maddox was lying or Zane was.
“Oh! I never got to thank you for that,” I uttered.
“Well, you can thank me for that one and this one together when you return to work after taking a rest,” Kevin laughed, and Gloria joined him. I noticed that whenever he spoke, she stared at his face dreamily.
I knew she had a crush on him, and he seemed like a great guy. She hadn’t stopped looking at him ever since he arrived to check on me.
“Then I will go home now,” I said, and Gloria helped me pack my stuff. I left through the backdoor after a few minutes and never really asked Gloria or Kevin what happened with the event after that.
I held my bag close to my c*hest, and my steps were a bit wobbly. My head was swirling as if something had happened to me, but I knew for a fact I didn’t get hurt during the commotion.
Once I was on the road, walking past the front of the cafe, I saw Akin storm out of the cafe with his arm wrapped around his stomach and a worried look on his face.
He came out all alone, probably sneaking out. But he didn’t look okay.
My eyes wandered around to see if I could ask someone to check on him, but there was no one on the road.
The night had arrived, and it was getting even darker due to the dark clouds. I gulped and paced towards him, gathering the courage to do the right thing and ask him if he needed help.
He did take such a huge stand for me back in there.
“Hey! Are you alright?” The minute my voice hit the air, I watched him stop shaking and leaning down, and he raised his head. The d*esire in his eyes shocked me for a bit, but then I attempted to look confident.
“You don’t seem okay,” I continued, slowly approaching him and gently placing my hand on his arm to help him sit down. He had his arm stretched over his car and was leaning down as if ready to throw up.
“I am just–,” he shut up the minute he let out a groan.
“What?” I asked again.
“I am feeling this strange ache in my body; all my bones seem to be going against my orders,” he finally managed, grimacing as he knelt down on the road.
“Let’s take you to the doctor,” I said, and he shook his head, refusing my offer.
“No! I will be fine. This is just so random,” he grunted. “Ugh!” he yelled this time, and my body shuddered.
“You know, get in the car! I am taking you to the hospital,” I don’t know where I got the courage to shove my hand in his coat and grab his car keys, but I did it.
Even he seemed to be shocked when I opened the car door to the backseat and started pushing him inside.
“Co on! We are getting late, and you are not getting better,” I yelled, pushing him inside and closing the door with a thud. I jumped in the driver’s seat and started the engine with much confidence.
However, I forgot something.
I have never learned to drive like a master.
