Chapter 517 Snatched Away (Beatrice Dismay)
I was now even more silent than before. My movements seemed calculated. After Akin shattered the cloud of distress by
announcing Zane’s arrival, I should have been infuriated with him. I should have been running after him to explain that I am not
even in control of myself. But I did none of that.
I shamelessly went into the kitchen to drink some juice. My throat was dry, and my eyes were burning. As I stood in the kitchen,
preparing a smoothie, I sensed someone approaching. “Beatrice!” Colt called my name, causing me to tighten my grip around the
glass and feel the pain of trying to free myself.
“What is going on? I’m sure you have a reason for all this,” he whispered, rushing to face me. “Is that a*sshole blackmailing you?”
he questioned.
I trembled with the force of my desire to respond, but my body moved in a different motion. I shakily brought the glass to my lips
and sipped from it, tears welling up in my eyes.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” he insisted, looking confused by my behavior.
“There’s no way I would believe this is normal behavior. Something is not right with you. So either you tell me the truth, or I’m
going to keep defending you, even if it means going against the brothers,” he muttered through clenched teeth, refusing to step
aside. “Colt,” Reign entered the kitchen, disapprovingly looking at him.
“What? Do you believe what they are saying?” he yelled at her, causing her to come closer and stand beside us, while I awkwardly
sipped my juice as if I wasn’t even part of the conversation. “She hasn’t said a word to refute it. Akin has seen proof of
everything,” Reign seemed very upset with me, not even glancing my way.
“And does that prove that he didn’t blackmail her or anything? Look at her, she’s so silent. Do you think a person would react this
way if they were caught betraying everyone?” he continued to argue, melting my heart.
I felt sorry for him because taking my side would make him look bad in the eyes of others.
“Someone without answers would act this way, Colt,” she replied, keeping her distance from me.
Reign mumbled, expressing her disappointment in me. “By taking their side, she also betrayed me. Huia killed my sister after
following Zane’s orders. I didn’t expect Beatrice to forget everything and accept that devil.”
Colt yelled at her, defending me. “This is nonsense! Just listen to yourself. Do you really think she would do something like that?”
“Beatrice! Please tell them it’s not true,” Colt gently t*ouched my hand, and my body flinched. I stepped back from him as if he had
hurt me.
Even he was shocked to see me react this way.
“She’s not the same person. She has let darkness consume her,” Reign then came up with a different explanation that could make
sense to them, but it would further drown me.
If they truly believed that darkness had taken over me, they would think my behavior was a result of it.
“Let’s leave her be,” Reign held his hands to pull him away, but he shook himself free and glared at her.
“I’m not leaving her side,” he stated firmly. Reign gasped at him. The last thing I wanted was for them to fight each other.
“So, you’ll stay beside her even when Zane takes her? Does that mean you’re on their side now?” she raised her voice. “Don’t you
remember how Zane and his evil witch killed Dream?” Tears slipped from her eyes as she demanded an answer.
“I’m not on his side, but that doesn’t mean I’m not on Beatrice’s side either,” Colt sounded upset because he knew his answer
would hurt her.
“So, you won’t stay with us?” she asked, taking a step back from me. I felt like dying in that moment. All of this was happening
because of me, and I was standing there, sipping juice like an idiot.
“I’ll stay with Beatrice,” Colt uttered, watching her take another step away from him. “Listen, you have Akin and Helel to take care
of you, but she’ll be all alone with Zane. I don’t trust him, so I can’t leave her with him,” he explained, while she began to cry and
ran out of the kitchen.
Colt cast me a sad glance before running out of the kitchen to check on her. I was growing anxious now. What was happening to
me?
Why was I unable to defend myself or tell them that I’m not on Zane’s side? But it was too late to even think of a plan. The doorbell
rang, and I knew who had arrived.
“Wow! You guys got yourselves a new mansion just so you don’t have to face me?” The mockery in Zane’s tone sent shivers down
my spine.
Zane stood in the foyer with the brothers as I walked out to be in his sight. His eyes shimmered as he gazed at me. Without any
delay in his reaction, he rushed over and wrapped his arms around me.
Sadly, I didn’t move away from him. I just felt like I belonged there. I noticed Helel looking away while Akin clenched his jaw.
It must have been so difficult for them to see me in their brother’s arms. “Hey, have you been crying?” Zane cupped my face in his
hands and smiled, planting a kiss on my forehead.
“So…” Just when I thought Zane would take a step forward and kiss me on the lips, thankfully, Akin interrupted.
“You two can stay in the room,” he grumbled, crushing my hopes. I really thought he was going to ask Zane to step away from me.
“If you guys have a problem, Beatrice and I can stay at the old mansion,” Zane suggested, and my body began to shiver. I looked
fine on the outside, which should have been a big red flag for the brothers. And they should have acknowledged that this wasn’t
me.
I stared at them, praying they wouldn’t let me go with him.
“Sure,” Akin responded, shrugging his shoulders.
