Hurt My Momma

Melody

The entire time through the meal. I would often notice the queen's gaze travelling from Aaron to Giovanni.

Sometimes adoringly and sometimes amazingly. Sometimes inquisitive and sometimes surprised. Her expression switched as she stared at my pups.

I don't know why she is staring at them like that, but her constant gazes at them tells me that there was more to this.

"I didn't know you had kids, Melody." The queen began as soon as the meal was done.

She led us to the game room. After all, we should have fun while we await the news of victory.

"It was ...."

"I didn't even know either," Sophia stated.

I didn't tell her about Giovanni and Aaron. I was hoping that I wouldn't have to because I didn't know what to say exactly.

Was I to tell her that I was raped and banished? Then I had kids for a man I didn't know. I don't even know his name. What am I to say to her?

"Actually, I wanted to tell you after your wedding, but there was no way I could." I lied.
