77 What Happened in Neev 

Luke. 

“Are we family?” was the first question that escaped my lips, and Ummul nodded and looked at her daughter. She sighed and seemed reluctant to speak but then decided to do so. Ummul held my hand tightly and pleaded with me to sit next to her. Mike brought me a chair, and I sat beside her, still holding my hands. 

“My mother is your grandmother’s younger sister. It is your grandfather that is from Eastwood. Your grandmother is from Neev. That is where you get your thick dark hair and beard from,” Amirah said, and I was surprised at her words 

“If we are related, why was your mother my mother’s maid?” I asked, and Amirah got angry. 

“That is a big lie. When your mother gave birth to you, we had to go and care for both of you. It is our tradition in Neev. If her mother was alive, it would be your grandmother that would go instead. My mother isn’t a servant,” Amirah growled, and I was surprised. 

“I can’t believe you are my family,” I said, and she nodded. 

“Then why did you abandon me when my mother died. Did you know the horror I went through in Stacy’s hands ?” I asked Ummul, and tears began to fall from her eyes again. 

“It was beyond our capacity to request for you at the time your mother passed away,” Amirah said, and Ummul shook her head, and she stopped talking.

We knew the Moons had fallen on hard times financially then, and we suspected Aesop was only after Chloe because she was a Renshaw.

wasn’t a happy woman. Your father loved her but made her life hell when she couldn’t give him an heir. He claimed he was the last of his bloodline, and the Moon bloodline needed to continue. After five years of trying, Chloe gave up and told Aesop to get a surrogate that would carry their child because she ovulated but never conceived. According to your mother, he was reluctant but soon gave in. They did not want anyone to know what they were doing, so they came to Neev to find Dome women willing to do the job. They would have gone to Dome, but it wasn’t a safe place and did not have good hospitals. My mother and I lived in Neev then, and when we found out what they had come to do, she kicked against it. Chloe did not want it, but Aesop had mounted so much pressure on her that she had no choice but to suggest it. When they arrived, he used that opportunity to cheat and started sleeping with loose women. They were supposed to get a surrogate, not a mistress. By then, Aesop had lots of women from Dome that he was dating, and he lavished them with gifts. My cousin’s money,” Amirah snarled. I did not like where

that? Was she anticipating that something would happen to her?” I asked her, and she nodded. “Your mother was receiving death threats from a man she did not know. There was a man that called her often to threaten her. If she ever saw the man in person, I am sure she could easily kill him, but he was in the shadows. He called her and left warning notes. She first thought Aesop had hired someone to kill her, but she later found out he had nothing to do with it. When she confronted him about the women he was screwing, he promised her he had ended it before they left Neev. Aesop launched an investigation to find the culprits, but it yielded nothing. By then, Chloe had separated the wealth and Aesop was only entitled to allowances for the work he did for Diamond corp. She said he wouldn’t use her money to cheat on her. Aesop was okay with her decision and never protested. He maintained that he wasn’t seeing anyone, but the trust
