Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744: 744-One Of Us Is A Siren

Helanie:

"Come on in," Emmet said as he stood at the main gate of his mansion.

I lowered my head, and when I looked up again, Kesha was gone.

I followed after Emmet, walking all the way through his passage. It was a silent walk. No words were spoken.

Then, I was outside his bedroom. My hands were tied in front of me, under my abdomen, like an obedient student. He stood to the side, welcoming me in.

I stepped inside, and he walked in after me.

The minute he turned on the light, I was stunned to see the research he had been doing all this time. There were papers and sticky notes across the wall. There were files and so much scattered around that it reminded me of something Kaye and Norman had told me before. They had found scribbles in Emmet’s room, showing he wanted to sacrifice me.

Of course, I was slightly disturbed because the trauma kept coming back. But then I remembered what Maximus had told me. There was so much conspiracy around Emmet and his drunken sessions, where he would make mistakes, that I started to feel like someone was messing with him.

But who? And how would Emmet ever recover once he found out that someone had taken advantage of his curse, to the point that he almost lost everything?

He lost the chance to marry me. He lost his credibility. He almost lost his brother’s love. Then he was accused of me losing my baby.

Emmet snapped his fingers in front of my face to get my attention.

"Yeah, right. What were you saying?" I asked and found him just staring at me before he looked away.

"Yeah, so," he said as he started to take off his coat and throw it onto the bed.

However, the minute he looked at me, he rushed to grab his coat and neatly put it back in the closet.

"I actually do like to take care of my stuff. It’s just that I was too excited to show you what I found out," Emmet explained.

It was strange to see him so conscious around me. But I liked it.

"Yeah, you were going to say something about Kaye and Kesha," I said.

He walked over to the wall and pointed at one of the sticky notes. It was a 3D printer image of a tattoo.

"I’ve seen this one," I said.

There were two side by side. I didn’t understand why he would print two of the same tattoo.

"This is Kaye’s tattoo," I said, pointing at one. "And this is also..." I pointed at the other one, touching the sticky note before pulling back to get a better look.

"No, this one is slightly different," I said. "Exactly." he replied.

"Can you tell me which one you think is Kaye’s?" he asked, probably to see if I could spot the difference.

"Yeah, this one." I pointed at the first one. "There are no bloody dots on the tail of this mermaid," I said, and my heart stopped in my chest.

"Go on, explain the tattoo to me," Emmet insisted.

His arms were folded across his chest, his body leaning back against the wall full of sticky notes.

"It’s a... it’s a mermaid tail wrapped around a dagger," I uttered.
