Chapter 77

 -Light… – Gerard’s voice is barely audible, as he stands up – Little Light.

-That mask… It was you – she tells him walking towards the mask, but stops halfway – You… It was you!

 Love, sit down, we have to talk… -Talk?! And what time did I discover you?! She puts her head in her hands, feels short of breath and sways, but Dan holds her. I can’t believe it, I was all this time living, sleeping… Damn! I let you make love to me every night!!

– My love, please – she says, joining her trembling hands, with fear portrayed on her face and in her voice -, many things happened that night, I need you to sit down, I have to explain many things to you.

– Luz, listen to Gerard, this is very serious – she looks at Dan with a frown and brushes him aside –

– Of course it’s serious! Don’t you realize how fucked up this is? I told him, I told him everything and he promised to lock up the unhappy man who raped me, every time I asked him how everything was going, he told me not to worry, that everything was fine… And that was why!

-No, love, that is not so. I was investigating something else, I… – Gerard can’t speak anymore because the tears are stuck in his throat -. I love you, I fell in love with you before knowing the truth…

-And even so, you didn’t tell me anything, you know that I hate lies, that they hide things from me. And you…-she approaches him dangerously and slaps him-. You hid from me that you were the unhappy one that night!

-Luz, please, listen to Gerard… – Dan tells her, while Gerard keeps his eyes closed, the pain he feels in his heart is a thousand times worse than that slap —

-Don’t mess around!! This is between this liar and me – she looks at him again, with red eyes from the tears that she didn’t know ran down her cheeks and from anger – Listen to me well, I could forgive you that night, because you yourself took care of erasing it – a sobbing makes her hiccup and raises her index finger -. But I can’t forgive you for hiding the truth from me!

– Luz recoils as if she had

– she whispers frightened by that truth in front of her -, he’s yours… you’re the father – she puts her hands to her belly and yells at him -. You are the father!! Don’t you think I deserved the truth?! At least…

to me… there are many things I need to

you, no excuses, no promises, nothing… – she wipes her tears angrily and looks at the two of them -. They’re a couple of sick, cynical people, they call themselves the best lawyers, but they’re the biggest
