Helena and Claire stayed behind, the night after everyone finished drinking away their sorrows. Thalia knew she was in for a Serious Talk, but she still tried to deflect it with humour.
"Well, thank goodness we've all survived the night without alcohol poisoning, right?" That joke feel flat, even to Thalia's ears. Well, she supposed, one shouldn't ask for comedy from a stone. The vixen was pretty sure Daniel laughed at all of her jokes because he felt obligated to do so.
"I don't want to hear it, Thalia. I want to hear the actual reason you didn't tell us anything, and I want to know what else you didn't tell us." Helena, of course, refused to allow the conversation to flow in an unproductive direction. Claire simply crossed her arms and rose an eyebrow, happy to step out of her usual mediator role and back the other up.
Thalia, haven been on the aggressing side of that tag team almost every time it was formed, decided to quickly spill the truth. Maybe it would be less painful overall, like ripping off a plaster.
"I miscarried in the first years with 'Lord Kane. Twice." She couldn't find it within herself to look up and see their initial reactions. "That's why, according to him, he should continue to place more value in his harem mates. Since I couldn't provide any heirs."
"...Why didn't you tell us...?" The choked up query came from Claire, as Helena seemed too stunned to speak. This here was part of the reason Thalia had kept silent. Their sorrow and anger would have absolutely spurred her to action before she was really ready. But of course, she wasn't planning on saying that truth aloud.
"I couldn't get a letter or anything to the family. My calls, texts, and emails were all being surveilled until very recently, even after I'd finally left." They frowned, but Thalia continued, "I had a maid that would constantly send updates on my every move for the first five years, and beyond that, my life was under his control. It sucks, but I made the best choice I could at the time"
It's not like Scott had ever actually hit her, though he'd made it clear that he would have no problem doing so if she stepped too far out of line. Thalia had been quick-witted enough to figure out where those lines were pretty early on, so she was fine. Other women had it worse, she was sure.
Nonetheless, when her teary-eyed sisters created a puppy pile with her at its center and demanded that she see an actual therapist, Thalia couldn't find it within herself to complain.

Good Afternoon Luna Thalia,
.
The Skulklord and I are glad to hear you are doing so well. He has asked that I send on his regards and hopes that you will soon have even more good news to share. I would love to attend and visit with everyone there. Perhaps I will stay for your birthday. I will be bringing my midwife along in order to be safe, but perhaps two will be better than one, in this case.
.
The separation of assets is virtually complete, and the paperwork will be processed once the holiday is over after the full moon. Nice b***h Cosmetics is set up in the family's name, as requested by my 'Lord. I was able to suit both companies' standards, so don't worry, but we should still take a look at the final forms when I arrive.
.
I don't believe I will need to contact you after this email, outside of coordinating the visit. We can do that over the phone, in order to get it done as soon as possible. I will contact your secretary when the work week resumes.
.
Thanks,
.
Skulk Luna Ashleigh C Kane
