Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 244

244–Alpha With No Spine

Baxter:

“What are you trying to prove by showing me this?” I asked.

I did not even watch the video. The moment I would, I knew I would be deeply bothered.

The pain would return, and it would not only be about Madeline betraying me, but also about my past.

I had worked really hard to put my past behind me, to be where I was today, to forget those harsh memories.

“Because, Baxter, she thinks very low of you. And if you don’t believe me, guess what? I’ve got another video of her talking about you recently too,” she added.

My heart started to thump in my chest. I scratched my forehead. I did not want to see any video. I guess ignorance was bliss.

“Wow. So I thought you only wanted to give up the crown because you wanted to be man enough to take responsibility, because Bodhi is your child. But now I’m realizing that maybe it’s because you have no spine. You’re proving her right.”

As she yelled those words, I flinched so hard that even she stepped back in fear. I kept glaring at her.

“So you’re angry at me, but not her?” she yelled again, tears streaming down her face. “I was the one who took care of you when she broke you beyond repair. And I’m the one you’re angry with. I’m the one you’re hurting,” she said, pointing at her chest.

Her face turned red with anger and pain.

“That makes me wonder how you would ever ask her ‘how dare you, Madeline? How could you hurt me?‘ Because you’re doing the same thing to me,” she added.

I closed my eyes and lowered my head.

She was not wrong. But I had taken responsibility for Madeline, and I was not going to step back from it.

“But unlike her, Baxter, I know the real you. I know you came here because you would never cower away from your responsibilities, and I respect that. That is why I came here. Even when you want to fulfill your

responsibilities, which I won’t stop you from, I still want to stay with you so you don’t lose yourself entirely to her once again,” she said, her voice much lower now.

I agreed with everything she was saying. There was video proof of Madeline belittling me, and then there were the other videos she wanted to show me, but I kept turning my head away.

“Rest well. I need to go out for a run,” I said, reaching for the door.

She rushed in front of me, spreading her arms to block the exit.

“Please don’t act this way,” I told her.

I still held a lot of respect for her, but there had been a few incidents that made me wonder. If her parents were so cruel, how had she turned out so innocent?

“You’re leaving me? Why?” she asked.

“Because I need to go for a run,” I replied.

She began to shake her head.

“No. It’s because you’re convinced I had a hand in leaking those rumors.”

As soon as she said that, I nodded. That was the truth. I gave her a blunt look, and she hurried to explain herself.

“That’s not the truth. I confronted my parents, and they admitted it was my mother’s doing. She only did it because she was tired of people telling my father that he was not a good father to her. I know she shouldn’t have done that. She made a huge mistake. She really did. But how is that my fault? You know me, Baxter. You know I’m innocent. Forgive me,” she pleaded, tears still streaming down her face.

“I don’t know what to say. I just know that I need to go out for a run,” I replied.

This time, she stepped aside. She could tell I was getting more unsettled with every passing minute.

Once I stepped out of her room, my mind wanted to go back to Madeline’s room and confront her.
