Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 141

-Andi-

I can’t offer a response to Siobhan, not because I have no answer, but because the truth terrifies me. If I tell her what I discovered in that dark room after hearing about Beckett and Sloane’s marriage, then it would be real. The truth would be out there, and there’s no taking that back.

Beckett and I, it’s just not bound to happen. We’re like the sun and moon, the dusk and dawn; they were meant to exist, but never meant to be together. We shared a bed, and that should have been the end of it. I should have known better than to fall in love with Beckett Hale. How can I tell Siobhan that without compromising everything I have right now?

Through my bristling silence, Siobhan sighed and blinked slowly, as though she was waiting for me to spill the truth. She had always been observant. Those green eyes pierced deep into my soul; she knew I was in denial. But she doesn’t say anything.

I steadied my pulse, controlled my breathing, and maintained my facade.

She cannot break through my shield. Not yet.

She reached for my hand and squeezed it. “I don’t know what happened to you in that warehouse, Andi, and I will never understand how traumatic that must have been,” she murmured.

She just revealed that she knows more than what was circulating online. “But you gotta talk to someone,” she smile and understanding glowing in her eyes. “You can’t let fear take over your life. That’s not who you are.”

Siobhan’s words landed a heavy blow to my disguise, leaving me vulnerable and helpless. “That’s not who I am. She’s right, but after the kidnapping, I don’t know who I am anymore. In fact, I know who I was before everything happened, but I haven’t been myself since I met Beckett.

This girl who works for a 9-5 office job, the girl who pretends to be Beckett Hale’s girlfriend just to escape Carter’s shadow, this girl who tries her hardest to study a course that isn’t even her forte, this isn’t me. But I get what my friends mean, Luna and Siobhan. They have told me the same thing, and Luna and Siobhan would not conspire just to mess with my head.

I squeezed Siobhan’s hand back, grateful that she was not pushing me to have a conversation that I was obviously not ready for yet. “I… I need time to process things on my own first, Siobhan.”

I can see the frustration in Siobhan’s eyes. It was a subtle spark, but I had been around her long enough to see through her practiced smile. She nodded at me. “I understand, but I really think you shouldn’t be working right now, Andi.”

“What?” My smile faltered as I wiggled uncomfortably in my seat. “I need to work, Siobhan. I’d go crazy if I stayed home.”

She leaned onto the backrest of the couch, eyebrows raised. “Have you forgotten that your client is Beckett Hale? And from the number of messages I got from him this morning, I get that you’re avoiding him.”

I was tongue–tied, stunned at the least. How could I forget about that? I am practically working for Beckett, and avoiding him would be impossible.

I wanted to slap my hand into my forehead, bury my face into my hands, but I didn’t do any of that. I just swallowed and cleared my throat.

“He… he’s been messaging you?” I blinked at Siobhan, trying to sound subtle when my curiosity just skyrocketed.

Siobhan nodded, her eyes narrowed, and her smile was sly. “You wanna know what his messages are?” She raised an eyebrow, and she’s starting to look rather too curious, too teasing.
