Semua Bab Luna Pretending To Be Blind: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Yara’s PovMy hands were still shaking as I stood beside the car.Jeremiah was in my arms, but even then, even with his weight against me, it still did not feel real. His body felt far too light in my arms, as if whatever Daniel had done to him had hollowed him out from the inside. He stared at me for a long second, trying to make sense of my face.Then he spoke in a small, uncertain voice.“Please please… don’t hurt me, I'm sorry… don’t hit me please.”I froze.For a moment, I did not understand what he meant. The words were strange, disconnected, like they belonged to another conversation entirely. I looked at him, searching his face, I understood enough.I could only imagine what sort of inhumane treatments Daniel had subjected my baby boy to. How far had the damage gone? I only hope there was still a bit of innocence left in him. I pulled him closer against me, one hand cradling the back of his head. “It’s okay,” I whispered, though my own voice was breaking. “It’s okay, baby. I’

Yara’s PovBeth stood in front of me with worry all over her face. “Yara,” she said again, her voice low, “you don’t have to do everything alone. You’re not in a condition to keep pushing yourself like this.”I looked at her and forced myself to stay steady. “I know.”“No, I don’t think you do.” She took a step closer. “Daniel is dangerous. Judy is dangerous too. You’re pretending to be weak in front of them while trying to fight back at the same time. One mistake and...”“One mistake and they’ll destroy everything anyway,” I cut in.Beth fell silent.I took a slow breath and held her gaze. “I’m a mother, Beth. I already lost too much. I can’t afford to show weakness now. Not to Daniel. Not to Judy. Not to any of them.”Her expression softened, but the worry did not leave her eyes.“My child suffered because of them,” I said. My voice stayed calm, but I could feel the heat building in my chest. “I was poisoned. My son was taken from me. My company was stolen right in front of me while

Yara’s PovI barely slept that night. Daniel’s voice kept repeating in my head. I had already known they were greedy, but knowing they were planning around my death still hit me harder than I expected.My chest ached, but I forced myself to stay calm. Heartbreak or fear would not save me. So before dawn, I made my decision.I picked up my phone and sent Rebecca a short message, asking to meet. After she replied with a time and place, I deleted the message right away.Only then did I put the phone down.The next morning, I acted as usual. I moved slowly around the house, kept my hand close to the wall, and wore the same weak expression Daniel had grown used to seeing. When I said I wanted to go out for a little fre

Yara’s PovEver since I signed up for the accident insurance, Daniel had been watching me closely. It was hard to sneak away even for a few hours. Judy made it worse. She stayed close to me all day and used Daniel’s instructions as an excuse for everything.If I said I wanted fresh air, she followed me outside and reminded me not to stay out too long. If I picked up my phone, she asked who I was talking to. Once, when I said I wanted to go to the pharmacy myself, she shut that down immediately.What troubled me even more was Beth’s silence. For a whole week, she had barely contacted me. That was not like her. I kept wondering if something had happened to her, but Judy was always nearby, and I had no chance to check properly.That afternoon, I was in my

Yara’s Pov I had not even left the fast-food restaurant when my phone started ringing.It was Rebecca.I looked toward the side exit where Judy and Mike had just disappeared, then quickly answered. “Rebecca?”“Where are you?” she asked at once. Her voice was sharp and hurried. “Warren is with me. We need to see you now.”I glanced around the restaurant and lowered my voice. “I’ll send the location.”“Do that,” she said. “And stay where you are.”The call ended. I sent her my location immediately, then stayed in the booth with my drink unto
