Ethan POV

The rain started as small drops, then quickly turned into a heavy downpour.

I stood and headed straight for my car. Sliding into the driver’s seat, I exhaled deeply before starting the engine and speeding off.

An hour later, the rain had intensified by the time I reached my house.

Thankfully, there was always an umbrella in the back seat. I stretched my hand behind me, grabbed it, and stepped out after parking.

I walked toward the door when I noticed a small figure lying on the ground

    Maya POVI stirred awake slowly, blinking as I adjusted to my surroundings.For a moment, I simply lay there, trying to remember where I was. Then my gaze drifted toward Vera.She was resting on the couch, her head tilted slightly to one side and her eyes closed. I couldn't tell if she was asleep or merely pretending to be.I was about to get up when my phone suddenly rang.The sharp sound startled Vera awake.Her eyes snapped open, and she immediately turned toward me.I reached for my phone and frowned when I saw the number displayed on the screen.Unknown.I hesitated.Something about the call made the hairs on the back of my neck rise.Still, I answered.“Hello?”“Maya.”The moment I heard the voice, my entire body stiffened.Doris.“How did you get my number?” I demanded.“You don't need to worry about that.” Her voice was annoyingly calm. “Tell me, how are you getting along with your sister?”I scoffed.“I don't know what games you're playing, Doris, but whatever it is you're tr

    Vera POVI spilled the coffee in my mouth all over the floor.“Eww, Vera!” Rita yelled, jumping back.I barely heard her.The picture on my phone couldn’t be real.It just couldn’t.I stared at the screen, my heart pounding violently against my chest.I had always tried not to think too much about that name—Maya—when Doris first mentioned her.But deep down, I had known.Somehow, I had always known.It was the same Maya.The same nightmare.The same girl I hated with every fiber of my being.Jeez.Could my life get any uglier?“You have to clean that up,” Rita said, coming closer.I couldn't move.Doris had sent me the picture only a minute ago, supposedly just to show me who Maya was.But the moment I saw her face, something inside me had shattered.“Why is your face like that? What’s that?” Rita asked, reaching for my phone.She stared at the picture for a few seconds before looking back at me.“Who is she?”“Wait…” Her eyes dropped back to the screen. “Maya?”She read the text bene

    Maya’s POVIf there was another name for shock, I needed it right now.Because I was in shock.Ethan had just called me a whore.My brain couldn't even form the right thoughts. Everything inside my head had frozen shut, as though someone had suddenly pulled the plug on my ability to think.I-I mean…We were fine yesterday.We went on a date.We laughed. We talked. We were happy.And then there was that…My thoughts stopped.That night.That moment when I had given myself to him.I had trusted him enough to give him my body, my first time, my virginity.And now he had the audacity to look me in the eyes and call me a whore.A whore?Because I had slept with him?Because I had let him take my virginity?Jeez.The realization made my chest ache.Tears burned at the back of my eyes, but I stubbornly refused to let them fall. I bit the inside of my cheek, trying to hold myself together.I didn't want to cry.I didn't want to show him how badly his words had hurt me.And most importantly, I

    Maya POVDay 13I had spent the entire day with Andre.And for the first time in what felt like forever, I forgot that we were in a hospital.We played so many games that I eventually lost count. I told him everything he had missed out on, filling him in on all the little things that had happened while he was trapped in this nightmare. Some stories made him laugh. Others made him roll his eyes and call me dramatic.It was the best day of my life.I had missed him so much.I had missed the sound of his laughter, especially when he laughed at the stupid jokes I made. I had missed the way his fingers felt against mine. I had even missed the funny little snores he made whenever he took a quick nap.At one point, he fell asleep beside me, and I simply watched him.I couldn't stop smiling.For a moment, he looked like the old Andre again.Not the sick boy lying in a hospital bed.Not the boy whose life depended on machines, medication, and money.Just my little brother.And I couldn't wait

    Ethan’s POVI sighed heavily as I finally arrived on Medford Street.The excitement and anticipation twisting inside my stomach felt like barbed wire. For the past few hours, I had tried convincing myself to stay calm, but it was impossible. Someone had claimed to know the truth.The truth.The one thing I had been searching for all these years.I was just about to get out of the car when my phone rang.I glanced at the screen.Uncle Marcus.I picked up.“Hey.”“Are you at home? I’m coming over,” he said.“I’m not home right now, Uncle. Maybe when I return, I’ll hit you up.”“Oh, okay then.”I was about to end the call when I paused.My fingers tightened around the phone.Should I tell him?We all wanted the truth. More than anything.And according to Uncle Marcus, Mr. Wellington had been constantly suspecting him of being involved in Dad’s accident. If this man really knew what had happened that day, then maybe—just maybe—this could finally help us both.“Ethan, are you okay?” Marcus

    Maya POVDay 12We spent yesterday inside, curled up together.After Ethan finally told me everything, I couldn’t bring myself to leave his side.He told me about Audrey.About how they met.About how much he had loved her.And how she betrayed him.He told me about the other brides too—their stories, their addictions, and the strange drug they had all been using.Ash.The word sounded strangely familiar.I remembered James asking me that same question.If I take Ash.At the time, I had thought it was a strange question.Now, I couldn’t stop wondering why he had asked me.What exactly was Ash?And why did everyone who seemed connected to this mess know something about it except me?I sighed and pushed the thoughts away.There would be time for answers later.For now, I had other things to worry about.I climbed out of bed and headed toward the bathroom.As I walked past the room, I smiled to myself.I guessed I wouldn’t be needing my room anymore.Ethan's room is far more comfortable.

    Ethan POVThe sound was so loud it forced me to raise my head.I glanced behind me for a second before turning back to my computer, ignoring whatever chaos was happening in the house—and ignoring the endless calls from Mr. Wellington.Instead, I scrolled lazily through an endless feed of hot girls.

    Maya POV“Marriage?” I asked, just to be sure as the word tasted like lead in my mouth.“It’s quite simple, Ms. Rivers.
