I Am The Luna

Chapter 68

A Confrontation

ZAIA. The moment of truth is finally here. The time to confront Mom about this. Sebastian had it sent over faster than I was expecting and as Mom and I enter the kitchen, I feel my stomach flip nervously. My heart is pounding and the fear of what might actually turn out to be the truth is making my heart clamour with anxiousness.

What if it’s true? I was in denial. The fear inside of me is proof that I was not expecting this. I look around the large kitchen, where I have lived for the last few years. A home that we made together…

I still remember the moments Mom and I shared here over hot drinks. She has been there for me through all my worries and is always someone I could lean on. The one who has looked after my children when I have been busy.

“Zaia, why are you so pale?” Mom asks me, concerned, as she goes over to the sink and fills a glass of water from the tap. The sound of the water seems to echo loudly in the silence of the large kitchen. I look down at the paper. Sebastian had kept it to what I had asked him to include, but now that it’s in my hand…

“I’m going to ask you something, Mom and I want the truth. Take an oath upon me that you will tell the truth and only the truth.” My voice is shaky, and I observe her carefully as I await her answer. She looks concerned, worried, and even uneasy…

“I swear upon your life, Zaia. I will speak only the truth. Honey, what is it?” She asks, taking a gulp of the water as she approaches me. How do I ask her?

How do I accept the answer if it turns out to be true? This could change things between us forever if it is the truth.

“According to this… You were having an affair with someone by the name of Adam Toussaint, whilst you were with father. Is it true?” I ask. My heart is pounding incessantly as I stare at her.

Her face turns ashen, her hand flying to her chest as she steps back as if seeing a ghost. The moment she begins to tremble, her hands clamping over her mouth, I get my answer. It’s true.

How?

Why?
