By the time my father died, almost fifteen years had passed. All of this did not explain why she had not told me the minute he died. It would have saved me from walking into this situation like a fool.
“I understand that, but what about after he died? He has been dead for months, Selene. You could have told me then.”
“I had already told you a fake story about how Elara was sleeping with another guy and had pretty much forgotten you. I told Elara you did not care about her and you wanted her to forget you and get rid of the baby. What would you have done if I suddenly said, ‘Oh, sorry, I was lying. You guys still belong together, and by the way, Orion, you have a kid.’ At best, you would think I was just trying to cause trouble for no reason after all these years.”
She swallowed hard.
