Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548: 548-Too Cocky And An Asshole

Helanie:

Maximus had filled us in on everything. Norman seemed a bit uncomfortable at first with the idea of letting Charlotte be in a room alone with a rapist like him, but then Maximus assured him he was watching closely and Charlotte had agreed to it.

Charlotte was trying her best to sound seductive on the tape.

"She was beautiful but didn’t partake in anything, but it was a mistake. She got us in trouble by lying," Romeo was still sticking to his story.

"Oh! What about the others? The ones who confessed?" Her questions were deep, but her actions seemed to be distracting him.

"They must have met her on a different occasion," Romeo was clearly having a hard time focusing on the conversation.

"Can I use the restroom?" Charlotte suddenly asked, and Romeo nodded. As she walked away to speak to Maximus through the wire she was wearing, I narrowed my eyes at Romeo.

"He’s putting something in her drink," I pointed at the screen, tapping it quickly in alarm.

"That is Flame of Lust," Norman stood up, but Maximus grabbed his hand and made him sit down.

"Charlotte, your glass has the Flame of Lust. Avoid the drink at any cost. Don’t worry, my men are right outside the door," Maximus wasn’t lying. The entire hotel was in on it at this point.

Romeo had been called to the hotel by Charlotte, who told him she’d found out that he had a crush on her. And he had quickly agreed to come.

"Good," Maximus sighed as Charlotte appeared in the scene again.

"So, we were talking about the night—did you and her used to meet a lot?" she asked, gently tapping the back of his hand. Every time she did something like that, he visibly lit up.

I hated seeing him so absorbed in her. It reminded me of his disgusting behavior that night.

"Once, twice—two times only. One was consensual, and the next time she had taken her pendant off to force me," he said while sliding the glass closer to her.

"Oh, but it’s strange—you and your friend claimed she did it the first time with both of you. And there was no other time?" I saw what she was doing. She was confusing him.

"We said that?" As Romeo spaced out, Charlotte lightly touched the glass.

"Wait a minute," he turned around to grab his phone, probably to text and ask Darius. At that moment, she switched the glasses.

Wow! I hated to admit it, but she was good—and confident. That made her scary.

"I think he’s training," Romeo smiled awkwardly, putting his phone down. His eyes were stuck on Charlotte as she finished the drink.

"Oh, the training—she’s working hard too. What if she wins?" she asked, and he started laughing.

"She’s either going to be dead meat or his wife on that day. She was dumb enough to come back and accuse us. I mean, she should’ve just accepted the others’ apologies and dropped the case. But no—she wants an apology from every single one of us," he suddenly got way too cocky, and that’s when we understood why.
