Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 428

Chapter 428: 428-I Deserve Happiness Too

Helanie:

I had turned around and hugged him the minute I heard those words. I stayed hugging him while he kept his arms tightly wrapped around me for a few minutes before I began to pull away.

"I don’t want you to kill him. I want him to confess," I said and noticed Emmet frowning in confusion.

"You know he would never do that," he uttered.

"Rayden did it," I replied, and he nodded.

"I—cannot believe one of my—" he placed his hand on his chest almost like he was still in pain. "I want to go strangle someone. It has to be anyone," he continued to rub his chest and wander around the office, huffing and puffing.

"You know it helps when someone listens to you," I murmured softly, and he stopped to look at me. "But I want the world to know I am not just saying it because I am some slut who—" I couldn’t finish when he pointed his finger at me.

"If I’m not going to let anyone say that about you, I will warn you too—never say anything like that about yourself either," he sounded angry, and that made me smile a bit.

"I didn’t go back to attend that dinner with that disgusting creature," he hissed, his fists clenched. "I was afraid I would make a mistake and probably kill him right then and there."

Hearing him talk with me about that night of torture and being on my side was helping me with my anxiety.

"You came to our place, and my brothers—they—" I noticed Emmet always had a hard time talking when he was angry or upset.

"It is okay. Nobody knew. But I was afraid how they would react when they found out," I watched him shake his head at my words.

"If they are my brothers and I know them, they wouldn’t question you. We know you. Only a fool would say you’re the type to wrongfully accuse someone. Besides, I want you to give me names," he said as he sat down with a piece of paper.

"I don’t want you to do anything. I want justice in a way that the other girls who had been abused by them could get justice too," I refused to let him take matters into his own hands. "I just want you to be there for me when I need you, when I am under questioning."

"That is it? That’s the bare minimum? I got an idea," I watched him snap his fingers, his eyes welling up. "I can abduct them—we can torture the truth out of them and—then break their limbs," he shook his head, looking down at his own thoughts.

"The truth coming out would do that. I don’t want them to say we forced them into a false confession. As for the names, I only know Romeo, Zellu, and Kaidon so far," I watched him tilt his head and then scoff.

"That Benita’s son, Kaidon?" He had an amused look on his face, as if he wanted to pay him a visit just now.

"Yes, but he says he was drugged by his friends with a mixture of drugs and Flame of Lust," I watched him shake his head.
