Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter 363 Chapter 363 +25 BONUS Sabrina nodded , looking away .

She made me believe that I told you , youd turn on me .

That youd try to take Lexie away or- She shook her head .

I was young , scared and I had no one .

She was the only person who offered to help me .

I exhaled sharply , trying to keep my emotions in check .

And now ? Why are you here in the capital ? She hesitated , her fingers twisting in her lap .

Diana brought me here , she admitted .

She wants me to go to the press , to tell everyone about Lexie and turn it into a scandal that will destroy you .

My jaw clenched .

And do you want that ? No , she said quickly , shaking her head .

I never wanted any of this .

I dont want to treat Lexie like shes some dark secret .

I love her more than anything .

Then why are you even considering it ? I asked , my frustration slipping through .

Because I dont have a choice ! Her voice cracked as she looked up at me , desperation in her eyes .

I cant afford to take care of myself , let alone Lexie .

I have nothing .

No money , no job , no home of my own .

Diana is the only one keeping me from losing everything .

And if I refuse her … She trailed off , her meaning clear .

She was trapped .

I closed my eyes for a moment , steadying myself .

This wasnt just about me .

This was about my daughter .

A little girl who had no idea she was being used as a pawn in a political war .

When I opened my eyes again , my decision was made .

Ill take care of you both , I said firmly .

Sabrinas eyes widened .

What ? You wont have to rely on Diana anymore , I said .

You and Lexie youll have what you need .

I wont let either of you suffer because of this .

Her lips parted in shock , as if she hadnt even considered that possibility .

You would really do that ? Shes my daughter , I said simply .

Of course , I would .

Sabrina swallowed hard , nodding slowly .

I … I dont know what to say .

Just think about it , I told her .

You dont have to decide right now .

She nodded again , exhaling shakily .

I hesitated before speaking again , my heart pounding .

Can I meet her ? She looked up at me , searching my face as if trying to gauge whether she could trust me .

Then , after a long pause , she nodded .

Yes , she said softly .

You can meet her .

Relief crashed over me like a wave , but it was tangled with something else something deeper .

This was only the beginning .

There was still so much to figure out , so much damage to undo .

But I would do whatever it took .

Because now , I knew the truth .

And I would never let my daughter go through the pain I went through when I was young .

I would never allow her to feel that she was unwanted or a burden .

1/2 Chapter 363 +25 BONUS Leave the address of where youre staying at the front desk , I instructed , getting to my feet .

Ill have August come by first thing in the morning to pick you back up and move you into a decent hotel for the time being .

Well find you a house soon , one that will suit your needs .

I cant thank you enough for this , Sabrina said sadly .

I know that I dont deserve it .

Not after- We were kids , I said firmly .

What matters now is that Lexie is safe and happy .

She nodded , but couldnt seem to find her words .

I watched her leave and the weight in my chest seemed to shift .

This didnt uncomplicate matters at all , but at least I knew for certain that the girl was mine .

Now , I just had to figure out how I was giong to tell Ella .
