Chapter 450 The Devil In The Dragon Lair
“Helel, what is going on with you? Why are you saying these things?” I asked because I genuinely felt hurt watching him
deteriorate. He used to be so full of energy. I didn’t want to be the reason behind his change, but I do admit to being the reason
he has changed.
“It is not easy for me to see you with anyone else. I tried, okay? I did. I tried to accept that you are now with Akin, but all this—,”
He pointed at my shirt as he acknowledged he could take a guess at what might have happened between Akin and me last night,
and then he turned his head to the other side and let out a sigh.
“Helel—,” I didn’t even know what to say to him. I cannot force him to stay behind when the sight of me and Akin together is
torturing him.
“What about your baby?” I wasn’t the one who asked that question. Akin had woken up and come downstairs after me, but
instead, he found us in the kitchen.

He must have heard everything because he looked really sad when he saw his twin in pain.
“I know you are hurting, and I can relate to it. But Helel-leaving is not an option when you have a responsibility on your
shoulders. Whether you feel connected to your baby or not—,” as Akin brought it up, Helel instantly shook his head to intervene.
“I love my baby already. It is not about my child. I will make sure I find a safe home for Gwen and my child, and I will even visit
them whenever I can. I just feel like I was brought back to life for a reason, and it definitely wasn’t to be with the one person I
wanted to spend my life with,” he whispered as he sneakily caught a glance at me.
“But it is not easy to stay here. I have lost too much here. And I feel responsible too,” he said, taking a step back and lowering
his head. I could only guess he had tears in his eyes.
“What do you mean by that?” Akin asked while furrowing. We knew there was something going on in his head ever since we
returned from the mountains with whatever was left of Maddox.
Helel had been very silent. I have even caught him crying alone when nobody was watching. I could sense a pang of guilt in his
energy.
“Don’t you think I am responsible for what happened to Maddox?” he asked and shocked us with his question.
“Why would you say that?” I inquired, not staying silent anymore. If anyone here was responsible, it was Zane.
“I had a feeling that I was going to lose Maddox for a very long time. I would look at him and feel him drifting away from us. I wish
I had forced him to listen to my fears in regard to Zane. But he wasn’t ready to hear Gwen. The night Gwen told me all about
Zane and how he would act completely differently when she was alone made me think that my gut feeling wasn’t wrong. I hated
to feel that way about my brother, so I kept quiet. But now I feel like I have made a mistake,” he didn’t raise his head, not even
once.
“Helel! You tried telling everyone about Zane. You were the only one who knew something was wrong with Zane. You even
wanted to set up a dinner with your brother to tell him all about Zane and why he needed to be careful of him, but Zane had
manipulated
Maddox into only believing him. He was his twin, so obviously he felt highly towards him. In his mind, it was never about you
versus Zane, but it was about Gwen versus Zane, and he chose to believe his brother over a stranger,” Akin reached his brother
and hugged him.
“It is not your fault what happened to Maddox. Zane had us all fooled,” Akin mumbled while still hugging him. It was at this
moment that I wished I hadn’t become the reason for a quarrel between these two brothers.
The twins used to be so close before. I don’t know where it all went wrong. Could it be that somehow I started this war between
them?
‘You guys were just telling Helel he has no fault in what happened, and here you are accusing yourself,’ Ace was quick enough
to wake up and dismiss the horrifying thoughts circulating in my mind.
She knew I was also struggling with my identity, so she swore to stay beside me and help me in whatever way she could.
‘You’re right,’ I said. As Akin broke the hug and patted Helel’s shoulder, I looked down and sighed a little.
“I will be in the living room,” Helel uttered, not making direct eye contact with me before leaving for the living room. Before we
could even continue to chat about the delicious breakfast that I was trying to cook, I found my cellphone ringing.
“Wow! Somebody woke up and decided to take over my kitchen,” Akin murmured, and I forgot about my phone for a minute.
Helel had walked out of the room to get some fresh air, while Akin stayed behind. He wrapped his arms around me from the back
and k*issed my earlobe.
“I so want to f*uc*k you on this counter,” he whispered, making my heart race in my chest.
“Ehh, meet me here after midnight then, sir,” I felt a tingling sensation in my heart when he slid both his h*ands up and gently
massaged my b*oobs from over the shirt.
That’s when my phone rang once again, and I had to attend to the call after I saw the caller ID. Even Akin broke the hug and
frowned when staring at the name.
My mom calling so early in the morning flipped something inside my chest. I attended the call while praying there was no bad
news.
“Yes, Mom, what happened?” I asked.
“Why the f*uc*k is that evil man here? Beatrice!” Mom hissed, not even able to explain anything properly. I could hear her
breathing profusely and hear her express her agitation with whoever she was seeing.
“Mom! What’s going on? Please calm down and tell me,” I asked, hoping my intuition was wrong and it wasn’t who I thought it
was.
“Zane is in our f*uc*king lair,” mom grunted in desperation. My heart sank in my chest. I had to close my eyes and convince
myself that it would be fine.
“What is happening?” Akin proceeded to rub my back to calm me down.
“Mom! What is he saying?” I asked after simmering down a bit.
“He is convincing everyone that he is your mate,” she sounded breathless, and it worried me.
