Everyone on the deck froze in complete shock. The only ones who didn't look surprised were Voren, Corvine, and Einstein. A heavy silence stretched across the entire yacht as everyone tried to wrap their heads around what Seraphine had just said.
Kylie stared at her daughter like she must have misheard her completely. Her face slowly drained of all color. "Sera…" Her voice shook with pure disbelief. "What the fuck are you talking about?" She looked totally lost. "I was there when you were born. I held you the day you came into this world."
Every word came out with absolute certainty.
Seraphine met her gaze with a calm, gentle smile. There wasn't even a hint of anger or accusation in her eyes. "Mom Kylie…" Her voice stayed soft and full of deep respect. "I understand why you're so confused."
She smiled a little before turning her attention back to Madison. "Don't you think it's long overdue?"
