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…

“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!”
