My Stepbrother's Dirty Little Secret novel Chapter 631

Chapter 631

If I wasn’t there… nobody would’ve needed saving, nobody would’ve died. I squeezed my eyes shut.

No.

Don’t do this.

Don’t start blaming yourself again, if you blame yourself, you’ll end up harming yourself and you promised mom to never do it again.

I forced myself to breathe. When I opened my eyes again, they drifted across the parking lot.

Raphael.

He was exactly where he’d promised he’d be, standing beside the car, watching us from a distance. One hand rested at his side, a pistol hanging loosely from his fingers.

I swallowed, then I looked back at the girls, “…Do you have any idea who might have done this?”

Neither of them answered immediately.

Then Tasha’s expression hardened, “I think you already know.”

I frowned, “I don’t.”

“The Capones.”

I shook my head before I even thought about it, “No, they didn’t.”

Both of them stared at me and Jasmine frowned, “What do you mean they didn’t?”

“They…” my voice came out quieter than I expected, “I was there, the Capones… they only hurt Mama D. Raphael

said Morgan, Emma, and Brianna weren’t touched. They let them go, trust me.”

Tasha let out a slow breath, “Gianna…” she spoke so gently it almost hurt, “You really believe that?”

Jasmine looked toward Raphael, “He was in that basement, wasn’t he?”!

“I… Y-Yes.”

“He belongs to the family that controls half this city. They don’t exactly file police reports every time they solve a problem.”

“Tasha…” I whispered.
