Self-care
Self-care forms a significant part of the model's overall wellness routine. Raven had previously been struggling with debilitating anxiety, and her regular meditations—her quiet time, and therapy helped to improve her mental health. She’d been suffering for years, her past hunted her. After leaving everything related to her family behind, she shut herself from them. She hadn’t been able to forgive herself, there was no intimate friend to vent her anger to. Raven was silently hurting, muttering a thank you to the voice for br

Rain Chapter Twenty Seven
Streaming tears cleansed her red cheeks. Few droplets remained, forgetting their way as the path was swept from beneath them, consequently blurring Raven’s vision, with waves of sadness only the broken encounter. The sadness drained through her spines rather than skating over her skin. It travelled through every cell to reach the ground. Next thing she knew she was there, at the front gate, watching France leave in his car. She tried to yell, but her words failed her, they came out weak and cracked. Biting her lip to stop the tears from increasing. Jace was standing infront of her, watching her every move sternly, as though he knew what was going on.After that. She was alone, angry and devastated. Her heart felt butchered, and weak.****The next day wasn’t exactly rosy, Raven retired in bed, none of the maids or her sisters bothered to check up on her, not that she was expecting it. She liked that way. To be alone and think things through. Recalling her dream the previous night, R

PRESENT “I saw her.” The woman in black muttered, and the detective changed his position.“How can I be certain you are telling the truth?” The detective raised his eyebrows, waiting for her reply.“Because you have no other choice than to believe me,” the woman stated, making the detective wrinkle his forehead. He didn’t trust the woman,”besides, I have no reason to lie. There isn’t a reward money.” The detective stood up from the chair, pacing round the room, with his hands behind.“Where did you see the model?” His voice, hoarse and firm.The lady paused for a moment, staring at nothing in particular. “Riverside California.”The detective took his seat after the lady spoke, he knew that was the place Raven grew up, before moving to LA.What was she doing over there? It was all a mystery.“I went there to visit a childhood friend.” The woman started,”It was in the evening. I was taking a stroll, then a lady bumped into me. I couldn’t really see her face, but I’m certain it was the

She looked better—stronger—as she sat in a rocking chair, holding her camera and talking to Eleanor, who'd pulled one of the visitor's chairs up close. Raven took a quick glance at the number inscribed on her palm, it was her thirty seventh day in the past. Raven couldn't help but think about how lucky she was, she felt guilty Sarah had be involved. After she recovered, Raven didn't hear from her again. She figured she had been threatened, or she was too scared to speak due to the crash. That was exactly what the person wanted, to scare them off. Raven was perplexed that she wasn't able to get any information from Sarah. She understood her perfectly, but at the same time, it was painful. There was still a little pain on Raven's arm, but she was close to full recovery. Her body had to stay fresh. After learning some car accident injuries do not ever fully heal, she promised to reduce her speed whenever she drove.Veronica was still in jail, it was getting harder to get her out, and he

Raven began her search for Fred’s mysterious box. Striding to the room, she walked as gently as possibly. Watching out for anyone that passed through the hallway. Her legs carried her as fast as possible. Her heart skipping, the room finally came into view. It looked exactly the same way it was the last time she broke in. The bed was organized, but some of Veronica’s things were on the floor. As though someone had entered the room.It was strange that she couldn’t remember where her father had kept the box. Raven went through Fred’s like if clothes. They were still there, she grabbed one of his shirt, and pulled it close to her.Still nothing, she had checked every surface, and every corner.

Rain Chapter Thirty Two
It was finally the day Raven had been looking forward to. Her very first date with France. It was extremely weird whenever she remembered his status in reality, her chauffeur. She felt like an actual star from a Hollywood movie. Although first dates tend to be the most exciting, but this one felt different. Finding the perfect dress was difficult. She’d been on many dates, she tried not to think about them. There was always a pressure of wanting to make a good first impression, and the anxiety it causes over what to wear was mentally draining.Raven figured that the key to pulling off the date was to wear something that’d strike a balance, polished and relaxed. Her aim was a lovely look that’s both feminine and chic. Something dressy but not uptight to send off all the right signals.“Raven!” Came Louis’s voice, her eyes sparkled as she saw her little sister.“You look extremely beautiful. France is gonna fall in love twice,” she commented, and Raven gave a gentle smile. “He’s here.”

It was another day, she’d woken up with a little glint of hope, that maybe, just maybe, she was going to find something. Raven figured she’d been too distracted lately, her mother was in jail, she desperately needed to find a clue, and Raven was a million percent ready. Taking a quick glimpse at her iPhone, Raven jumped out of the bed. She saw some missed calls from France, and a bunch of messages. Their first date was the best she’d ever been to, it was as though he was in her head, unlike the restaurant, the beach was calmer and intimate. She enjoyed every second with him, wiping off the wide smile on her face, Raven took a mental note to call him later. She immediately began to brush her teeth, five minutes later, she was still brushing. It was something she never took for granted, after that, Raven washed her face next, taking a shower right after that. It was going to be an eventful day, she hoped. Running a comb through my hair, her eyes wandered about the room. The poem about
