The Dark Secret of the CEO by Sofia de Orellana

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!

calm down, think about our baby, my love, please… – Luz recoils as

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… at least to be sure that my son didn’t

want, my love, but please, listen to me… there are many things I need to

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 liars in

Gerard says, letting out all

can’t stay here, with an unscrupulous lying rapist… you’re twisted, you knew you forced me my first

asked me to erase it – he says approaching her, with a broken voice -. Because you begged

door-. That word is too small in your mouth, you have no idea what justice really

– he tells her, throwing himself on the floor -. Forgive me, that night was

and tight voice -, The first one you hurt was your daughter, ignoring her all these
