I Am The Luna

Chapter 0275

“Back then, when Jai… cheated on me… it was because Agatha had put something in his drink. She was trying to cause a rift between you and Sebastian by breaking up your friends, knowing you would take my side and Sebastian would take Jal’s.” She says as Jai looks down, clearly ashamed.

Because of us?

I hate that we were the reason for them being torn apart….

I can’t believe it, how Agatha had dropped so low makes me sick, and the fact she’s been at this for so long!

“I’m sorry..

“Zaia! It wasn’t your fault.” Valerie scolds firmly.

“Exactly.” Atticus frowns.

“So… it was all planned,” I say..

Valerie nods, her eyes glittering with tears.

“Meaning, he didn’t cheat on me, he was set up.” She says, and although they are together again, I can tell just how much relief this has brought her. To know that her man didn’t cheat on her. She may have forgiven him, but it was not something she

could forget.

She sits on the armrest and Jai pulls her into his arms, and she hugs him tightly.

“And a woman just happened to be there to seduce him? Who was the woman?” Atticus asks, and I look at him sharply.

“They might be working with Agatha,” I say, understanding what he is insinuating.

“Cara,” Valerie says, looking at me.

I stare at her in disbelief, remembering her with Sebastian at the hotel back at that
