Tasting All My Mates

237 Perfect Mate, Wrong Timel

“I don‘t understand,” I whispered to myself, trying to get myself together. The accusations he was making towards Maynard were extreme.

“I didn‘t either,” Marcellus muttered as he tried to hold his breath. “She had his metallic chain in her grip when she escaped him. Even when she died, she had Maynard‘s chain in her fist. He was jealous of his brother for getting all the attention. He wanted everything his brother had. Sadly, my daughter paid for whatever feud the brothers had.” His tears seemed genuine when remembering his daughter Olivia.

It didn‘t look like he was lying to make Maynard look bad, but I was still shocked by his revelations. Could Maynard really be this horrible?

Did I miss all the red flags? Are my mates that sinister?
