Raye's POV The Montero's estate came into view as the car approached it. Old and forgotten memories swirled inside of me, bittersweet and melancholic.I could still vividly remember the last time I had been here. Riddled with grief and anguish at being forced to marry a total stranger had made me bitter and ruthless. I had taken out my anger and bitterness at everyone in the estate and Brian hadn't been saved from it. Looking back now I was so cold and unfeeling towards him, blaming him for all my problems when he was just as much of a victim as I was. During the first few months of our marriage I had ignored him and acted like he didn't even exist. My stomach swirled in disgust as I remembered the way I had treated him so cold and unfeeling to the extent of even abandoning him when he needed me the most. And all for what - a stupid teenage fantasy that ended up killing me. Maybe it was my karma for how badly I had treated him, needless to say I wasn't going to make the same mistak

Raye's POV "Raye, wake up. I know you aren't sleeping. You better stop pretending right now"A loud voice interrupted me as I slowly woke up from a deep sleep. For a second there I laid in a daze, taking in my surroundings and trying to figure out where I was. The last thing I remembered was blood everywhere around me. I hurriedly sat up from my bed in shock. I looked around the familiar room trying to piece back my memory together. I instinctively pulled up my blouse checking for scars and bruises but they were nothing. My skin glowed like I was five years younger. Okay now I was confused. What the hell was happening to me and why was I in the room I used to sleep in ten years ago?Before I could begin to process what was happening, my step mother barged into the room, livid. She was holding onto a piece of paper and waving it around frantically as she spoke. "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you?" She barked, glaring at me.I blinked in confusion, lost for words. She loo

Raye's POV "What the fuck are you doing? Why did you push her?" Antonio yelled angrily at Sasha, his eyes filled with panic. Sasha towered over me, her hands balled into fists like she was ready to attack anytime. The panic and shock that filled her eyes earlier had been replaced by one of hate and fury. She grabbed my phone from my coat pocket where I had placed it like she was possessed."What did you expect me to do then? Just let her leave and tell the whole world we had an affair. It would ruin not just your life but also mine and I'm not going to let that happen," she snapped furiously at Antonio."But look at her, she's hurt and bleeding," he whined."Can you just shut up and let me think? If you don't care about your reputation, that's your problem but I'll not let all the work I've put in to finally become the head doctor go in vain," she spat, her eyes filled with derision and anger.I tried to stand up but the more I moved the more it felt like thousands of glasses were s

Raye's POV "Is this true? Is what this woman is saying true?" I asked my father, wide eyed and completely shocked at Sandra's revelation. He turned towards me, his eyes holding no emotion, he repeated the very words that would change my life forever."Everything Sandra said is the truth. Your mother was nothing but a shameless slut. She had an affair when we were still married and that's how you were born. You were never my daughter and you'll never be one," he spat, every word coming out of his mouth riddled with venom and disdain."Now that you know the truth, do us all a favour and repay us for helping your pathetic life," Sandra added, her eyes lit with happiness at my distress. She must have been waiting for this moment for such a long time.No it couldn't be. How could he not be my father? All my life I had always wondered why I was treated differently from Angelica, Why I was always given Angelica seconds? Why I was never praised if I did something good and why I was never eve

My eyebrows creased in concentration, my eyes focused on the road, determined on getting to where I was going on time. I couldn't afford to miss the award ceremony again.I breathed a sigh of relief when the large hall where the ceremony was being held came into view as I rounded the corner.
