Chapter 97

My ears felt like they were being deceived – I looked at Jaughnn as I thought he may be playing a big fucking joke on me.

10-year-old Lux was just with me when I was in my original life – what does he mean?

“Sorry, what?” I asked – trying to get him to repeat what he just said. I don’t believe he seriously said what he meant.

“I-I said…” he paused as he looked down. “L-Lux is on the brink of death,” he repeated what he said earlier. My world felt like it was completely crashing down on me.

“Wh-what? That can’t be right? No,” I was denying what he just said – what could he know anyway. He wasn’t there with me for five whole years – choosing other women over his own family.

“Leave me alone,” I muttered as I was still looking down – the room felt tense, the air was so thick it could possibly be cut with a knife.

Jaughnn was still looking at me with pleading eyes as he tried to grab onto my hand.
