I Am The Luna

ZAIA. She isn’t innocent; I know that more than anyone. From a young age, she would be cruel to me. When I did go to Dad’s to spend a little time with him, she would let Annalise pinch and hit me, then threaten me to stay silent or say that if I told anyone, I wouldn’t get to come over.

I remember how she’d take things Dad would buy for me and give them to Annalise, and the one time I refused to, she slapped me.

I didn’t say anything, but the things she did often stuck in my mind, and as I got older, Dad stopped coming to see me… It makes sense now, but as a child, it hurt. This woman caused me pain, but ultimately it all began with Mom’s betrayal. The blame game is easy, but there are many at fault…

The silence in the room is deafening as she looks at me, arms crossed – anger etched on her face. I smile slightly, to think that this woman is my aunt…

“After a little digging… I learned that Annalise has no right to the Toussaint empire. After all, she is not my father’s daughter.” I whisper. Her face pales but it quickly changes to defensive.

“How do you-”

“Well, you better cooperate before I tell Father that Annalise is not his!” I say, making sure she doesn’t think Dad told me. Her eyes narrow as I smile victoriously, pretending that I think I have won, and she clenches her jaw.

“It isn’t true! She is Hugh’s daughter!”
