Misguided mortals and the Corrupted ones

"Dian!" Ethan clenched Diana's shoulder's tight, forcing her to look him in the eyes. 

"I...can't," Diana stuttered. Realizing her wife was hiding something major from him, he felt a mix of anger, shock, and disbelief. She shook Diana by her shoulders. Yet no words escaped her mouth.

"If you...know...everything...you...should...know...why I can't...tell him the truth" She continuously sobbed. The lady only revealed a gentle smile.

"Let me tell you a story. Two decades ago, there was a mother who was blessed with god's ultimate gifts" The lady's words turned Ethan's gaze away from Diana. Diana wanted to stop the lady from revealing the truth as she feared for her husband's life but no words came out of her mouth. Something prevented her from speaking. 

The lady paused for a moment while Ethan tried to make sense out of her words.
