Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 446

Chapter 446: 446-I Am Ready To Tell The World

Helanie:

The darkness of the room reminded me of my empty dreams. The silence was equivalent to my screams from that night. I didn’t realize I would have such an intense collapse. But sadly, even the sight of any man, regardless of his relationship with me, was sending me to hell and back.

I sat on the bed, my arms wrapped around my body, staring at the wall in front of me. There was a picture frame of the brothers together hanging there.

I twisted my neck a little and noticed the big frame behind the bed’s wall. It was Norman’s pictures.

So this has to be Norman’s bedroom.

I sighed, trying to recall happy thoughts. There were none. Everything was tainted with sadness and violence in my mind.

The door opened for the fifth time, and this time Norman walked in alone. In the last 13 hours, I had scrambled at everyone who had tried coming to speak with me. I remember closing my eyes to hide from Emmet while asking him to leave me alone. I did the same with Maximus, Lamar, and even Gavin.

Norman told me that my friends had come to see me, and I threw a fit. I didn’t want to see a man anywhere around me.

"Why are you here?" I hissed, turning my face to the other side to avoid looking at his face.

"We cannot sit silently after the accusations you have made," Norman said, keeping his voice very low and calm.

"Get out of here," I hissed at him, warning him to leave and not try to come near me.

"I will. But I need to speak with you," he requested again, this time walking closer to the bed and sitting down on it. I immediately pulled my legs closer to my body while hiding half of myself under the blanket.

"When I was only a kid—I had been in a situation where I couldn’t find a way out," he started, making me narrow my eyes at him.

What was he trying to do?

"I was attacked by a monster," he sighed. "That monster was a vile thing." He scoffed, laughing at the memory of it.

"What did it do?" I inquired, and it was as if my question brought him some relief.

"It took my heart from my chest."

My body shuddered, my eyes widening a little more than before.

"It stopped my heartbeat, Helanie."

I shook my head in confusion.
