Chapter 4

LUNA'S POV

I walked away from the room after the heated conversation with Blake, I could not believe he was actually lying to my face directly, he shattered the two hundred per cent I had for him into pieces with just that act.

  A part of me said something definitely happened between them, while the other said they were both telling the truth, but I chose to confirm it myself, I was not going to let them fool me if something did happen then, I don't know what I would do with myself.

Simon! Yes, that's it, I screamed in excitement as my eyes shot wide open. Simon was a computer guru who always wore recommended glasses to school when we were in college, he studied ethical hacking and computer operations. I picked up my phone and scrolled through my contact list hoping I still have his number.

 My lips stretched to a smile when I found the number and called it, he picked on the first ring.

Hey Simon! I said, immediately he picked up, Hey, Sky, long time, or should I rather say Luna sky, he added. I chuckled softly I would prefer sky I replied, You don't just call except you need something, he stated, his tone becoming serious. Well, I need your help with something, it is confidential so I will send you the details, I don't want anyone to find out about it.

"Roger that Sire," he said as he used to whenever he was being assigned back in high school, I will be expecting the details, he replied and hung up. I sent everything I needed to send to him and fell on the couch with their words relaying in my head.

Would it hurt them to tell me the truth? It hurts when you are lied to by the very people whom you hold dear to your heart. Did they do something so bad that they cannot tell me, what if it's really nothing? What if they both forgot to meet each other there in Malibu? A lot of "what ifs" filled my head, with all these unanswered questions filling my head I did not know when I succumbed to sleep.

**** ****

The golden rays of the sun reflecting on my eyes cause me to flicker my eyes open and close repeatedly till they got used to the light, I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm and then looked at the other side of the bed wondering why Blake was not with me and what I was doing in this bedroom.

The whole incident of the previous day came flooding in, I sighed and sat up on the bed picking up my phone I saw a few missed calls from Blake and Tricia, and a dozen messages from Simon.

 I contemplated on which I should answer first, after I unlocked my phone, my finger mistakenly clicked on the messages Simon sent me. I didn't expect him to have gotten the job done already last night. My jaw dropped immediately after I opened his message, fresh pain filled my heart, and my vision became blurry my eyes were clouded with tears, and the tears fell down my cheeks freely.

What on earth have I ever done wrong to these people, why did they choose to humiliate and betray me, I said to myself amidst tears, as I looked at pictures and videos of Blake and Tricia having sex in the elevator of a hotel. I fell back to the bed in shock. Tricia? Someone I trusted badly, with the love of my life. I wiped the tears from my eyes, opened the door and stormed out to meet Blake, thinking he could still be at home probably preparing for work.

More tears dropped down my cheeks freely at every step I took with anger, anger of betrayal and humiliation filled my heart, I felt my heart broken and shattered to many pieces. I trusted her, I could not believe she was bold enough to do this to me, I could not believe she would stoop so low to have sex with her best friend's man, lied to my face, without any sign of guilt or remorse, and pretend like nothing ever happened.

I went downstairs and searched the whole house, but Blake was nowhere to be found, then I realized he had left the house maybe for work I guess, I wanted to go to Tricia's house and give her a piece of my mind first, since Blake was not at home but I needed to put myself together before going out because I do not want people to see me shedding tears so I wiped my tears, went back upstairs, freshened up and wore a pair of jeans, and a top, went downstairs and stormed out of the house, banging the door.

On my way to Tricia's house memories of how I met Blake began to replay in my head, memories of how I met Blake, how I became his Luna, how we got married and were living happily, even though I could not bear him a child.

 Then he changed his attitude towards me, oh! that's why he explains why he changed his attitude towards me and was acting awkward whenever Tricia was around, Tricia, I will never forgive you for this I said to myself When the memories got to when Blake and Tricia travelled to Malibu fresh tears rolled down my cheeks as their sex scene replayed in my head.

Then I blame myself for wanting to know what happened in Malibu, I should have just believed them when they said nothing happened then I would not be in all this pain, but all the same, why would someone I considered my "Best friend" betray me by sleeping with my husband, and why my husband would who said he loved me to have sex with my best friend, is it because I did not bear him a child, am I no longer attractive to him, does he prefer Tricia to me, what is going to happen to me now, more tears rolled down my cheek as all these thoughts kept flooding my head.
