Rebirth of the Broken Luna A Second Chance at Luna's Heart novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128

“And there’s another problem I need to handle, Mommy continued, and something in her voice made me lean closer to hear better.

“Riley has become an obstacle too. He’s served his purpose, but now he’s just in the way.”

Me? I was an obstacle? What did that mean?

“You see, Riley doesn’t know yet that Xenois and Lumina are his real parents, Mommy said, and the words felt like someone had

punched the air out of my lungs as my eyes widened in shock.

“He has no idea that he has a twin brother named Ollie, or that I stole him from his real family when Lumina gave birth to both of

them

The world felt like it had been tilted around me. I gripped the banister so hard my knuckles turned white.

Xenois and Lumina were my real parents? Ollie was my twin brother? But that meant…

The spell I put on his necklace has been working perfectly,” Mommy was saying, and my hand automatically went to the small

pendant I always wore around my neck, my mum…sophia had always insisted that it was a protection necklace and also a symbol of her

love to me.

She’d given it to me when I was little, saying it would keep me safe. “Everyone sees me as his biological mother whenever they look at

him. Even DNA tests come back showing Xenois as the father and me as the mother. It’s been foolproof.”

I touched the necklace, feeling it warm against my skin. It had always been there, always felt like a part of me, I had pushed Ollie

leading us to fall off the stairs when he wanted to drag it from my neck because I felt he was going to break it. But now it felt heavy and

wrong against my skin, like it was choking me.

But Lumina started to cross her boundaries, she was starting to fight back and somehow Xenois was beginning to have doubts in

things I was saying,” Mommy continued. “That’s why she left with Ollie. She was getting suspicious, asking questions. That’s why they all

have to go – Lumina, Ollie, and Riley. Once they’re gone, Xenois will finally choose me.”

Choose her? But what about me? What about the little boy who called her Mommy and made her pictures and wanted to make her

happy all the time by doing all the bad things she wanted me to do despite the fact that I didn’t want to do it. She had forced me to be

the perfect son for Xenois, she had forced me to shake Ollie’s hand with that glove that covered my wounds. She wanted me to replace

Ollie. I had given Lumina that apology I scribbled because I felt bad.

I’m planning to take care of Riley myself,” she said, and there was something in her voice that made me shiver. “It needs to look like an accident. Maybe a fall down the stairs, or a drowning in the pool. Something that will bring Xenois home immediately so I can comfort

him.”

I couldn’t breathe. The woman I’d called Mommy my whole life was planning to kill me. And not just me twin brother too. People I didn’t even know but happened to be my real family all along.

Riley is completely under the necklace’s influence,’ Mommy was saying. “He can’t tell anyone the truth even if he wanted to. The magie prevents him from saying anything bad about me or revealing what he knows. He’s been the perfect little pawn.”

That explained so much. All those times I’d tried to tell people when Mommy was mean to me, when she hurt me for not being as good as other kids, when she got angry and said cruel things. My mouth would never let me say the words. Instead, I’d end up praising her and saying how wonderful she was.
