Semua Bab Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Bab 61 - Bab 70

Chapter 61: ConfessionsLUMINA"Lumina." His hands came up to hold my face gently, forcing me to look directly into his eyes as he searched mine looking for something before he spoke. "I love you. You are my mate, my wife, the mother of my child. Sophia is... she's a friend from my past. Nothing more.""Then why did she think she could kiss you? Why would she try something like that if she didn't think you'd be receptive?" I insisted, not letting this slide under the mat. He had been devout to her, in this life and the last. Why was he still trying to act like he never still loves her.His parents basically gave him permission to cheat on me, then again it was an arranged marriage and he has never told me that he loved me. It wasn't something that we exchanged. Hearing it from him still made me speechless and I wasn't going to tell him I did too.I already knew how the story would end. All I wanted to do was figure out a way to get his permission to leave the city and Ollie and I wou

Chapter 63: There's Something Off About Riley XENOISI woke up to the feeling of Lumina's warm body that was pressed against mine, her head was placed on my chest and she had one arm draped across my stomach. For a moment, everything felt normal again, after the way she had been pulling from me ever since Sophia returned to Silver Creek with her son and even before then.Right now it was just us, just the quiet intimacy of a Sunday morning and absolutely nowhere urgent to be.Last night's conversation in the shower and intimacy had cleared some of the air between us, but I could still sense that our bond was fragile. Lumina didn't trust me completely but she was at least giving me a chance to rebuild our connection. Sophia's return had shaken something important in our relationship, and we were both still finding our footing.I pressed a gentle kiss to the top of Lumina's head, breathing in the familiar scent of her shampoo mixed with her natural scent. I was so happy that I could sc

Chapter 65: Questions and Consequences RILEYThe car ride started quiet, which was never a good sign with Mama because it was some sort of warning.Mama was mad about something and was waiting for the perfect time to bring it up. I kept my hands folded in my lap, staring out the window at the houses we passed, trying to make myself as small as possible in the passenger seat. I could feel her looking at me in the rearview mirror every few seconds, and each glance made my stomach twist tighter."So," she said finally, her voice that sounded fake and sweet which meant trouble was coming for me. "Tell me about your sleepover, baby."I knew this was coming, especially with the way she hated the fact that I had insisted on staying for the sleepover.Mama never liked taking me off her sight and Mama always wanted to know everything that happened when I wasn't with her, every conversation that I had with others and every question that people asked me and the answers that I gave them. I'd le

Chapter 67: Wanting Riley BackOLLIEI was sitting on my bedroom floor, and I was surrounded by my toy trucks and building blocks, but I wasn't really playing with them. Instead, I kept thinking about Riley and how quiet he'd gotten when his mama came to pick him up. The way he acted was strange. He had reverted to almost how he behaved when he was with his mum. The way he'd walked behind her with his head down, like he was trying to make himself invisible, or hide himself from something reminded me of something important but I couldn't figure out what.My blocks were supposed to be a castle, but they just looked like a messy pile at the moment. It had no shape and I was not having any inspiration to even work on them. I'd been trying to build something cool to show Riley the next time he came over, but every time I started, I kept wondering if there would be a next time. Or if this was a one in a lifetime thing.His mama had that look in her eyes when Mama suggested another sleepov

Chapter 69: Setting The StageSOPHIAThe morning drive to SIlver Creek Elementary was perfect for what I needed to accomplish. Riley sat quietly in the passenger seat, staring out the window with a blank expression on his face as he watched the cars pass by.Riley had learned it the hard way over the years to recognize my moods, to sense when I was planning something important and needed quiet."Today is a very special day, Riley," I said, my voice sounding serious, as I looked at him through the rear mirror.I waited till he had helped eye contact with me before I continued speaking.This was what I normally did when I needed him to pay attention to every word. "Your first day at your new school, in the same class as Ollie.""Yes, Mama," he replied automatically, looking down at his hands."And you remember what we talked about yesterday? About what I'm trying to accomplish for our family?""Yes, Mama."I took another glance at him in the rearview mirror, as I noticed the way that hi
