Masquerade (Masquerade #1) Read online

  “Am I adopted? Because I saw an episode on Bubble Guppies on how parents adopt children. Is that what mom and dad did?”

  “Not exactly. Lucy you are my daughter. I am your mom and your dad is Chris, but his real name is Jason.”

  She looks back and forth between the both of us when I see tears starting to form.

  “Mom and dad really aren’t my parents. You two are? And his name is Jason?”

  I wrap her in a hug and cry with her. “I know this is confusing, but, baby, you will understand one day. I promise.”

  When her tears dry, she asks for the whole story because she needs details. She acts so damn grown up.

  Jason and I tell her the story the best way we know how to so that she will understand it. She still seems lost, but I know this is a lot to dump on a five year old at one time.

  My aunt is happy that the truth is out and tells Lucy she is lucky to have had and still have people that love her so much.

  I decide it’s time to go home. We pack all of our stuff up, so we can finally all be together. I know this is going to be a long road. Considering Lucy is going to have to get adjusted as well, I think the best thing for her is to find someone for her to talk to.

  As far as Fucktard is concerned, I couldn’t care less if he ever forgives Jason or not. We don’t need his shit anyways.

  I know my story is fucked up, but it’s my story, and this is how it all happened.

  The End

  Be on the lookout for Jason’s point of view and the talk with his father coming soon.
