Rachel's POV"Mother?" I called in surprise as I stared at the woman who once loved and cared for me as her daughter, that was until her real daughter appeared. Her eyes were red and puffy like someone who had cried, they also had bags under them, and her face, it had more wrinkles than I remember it. I'm just six months of being away from her she now looked ten years older. "Rachel". She called out when stopping feet away from me. Her lips were trembling while her hands clutched her purse tightly. I couldn't control my body and I ran to hug her, wrapping her in a warm embrace. She had hurt me so much by agreeing to Lana's wishes, but I still loved her. She had been my mother for over twenty years after all. " Oh Mia". She cried finally releasing her hands from her purse and wrapping it around me. "I'm so sorry. "I pulled away from her shaking my head. " What are you sorry for? It wasn't you who pulled the trigger". She nodded while sniffling. " I know, but I pushed you away. Y

Ethan's POVI stared at the floor-to-length window in my study, with my hands shoved in the pocket of the hoodie I was putting on, watching the sky as it poured down to the ground in worry. Rachel should be back by now, and the rain was not making things better.It was pouring outside, with the loud sound of the rain hitting the ceiling filling the air and all I could think about was where in god's name Rachel was right now. "I shouldn't have agreed to let her go with her mother." I thought out loud, my eyes still glued to the window. The only reason I agreed was that Rachel was smiling; she was so happy to see her mother come to visit her that I couldn't just refuse that woman from taking her daughter to talk. Plus, she wouldn't do anything to Rachel, right? She was her daughter, though not biologically but for most of her years. She couldn't harm her, right?The anticipation was killing me, and the heavy rain wasn't helping matters. Okay, that's it. I can't take this any longer

Ethan's POVRachel kissed me. My eyes rounded in shock when her soft lips pressed on mine. It felt... Before I could even tell how it felt, she pulled away, taking a step back from me. I could see her mouth moving nervously but I couldn't hear anything she was saying. One minute, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was crying; the other minute, she pressed her lips on mine and then pulled away. She took another step back and began saying something else, but again I couldn't hear her. I only wanted to have a taste of those lips again, so I took a few steps forward, grabbed her hands, and pulled her towards myself, claiming her lips again. At first, she neither responded nor rejected it; she just stood there, then slowly, she began responding to the kiss, drawing lines on my chest before bringing her hands behind my neck. This was...There were no words to describe it. The love of my life, the only woman I have ever loved was responding to my advances. But then again, befor

Lana's POVHours ago I just heard from my spy in the hospital that Lana was getting discharged today. That bitch was going home after spending a few weeks in the best hospital in the city. It was as if all my plans were just meant to fail. After shouting at the top of my lungs for almost ten minutes, I began to feel dizzy and faint. I thought it was going to stop after a few hours, but it didn't, so I went to the hospital for a test and was just coming back. Rachel just clouded my thoughts I had to do something fast if I was going to make Rachel regret everything. I thought and was still thinking of what to do when my phone rang. It was my grandfather. That old man rarely called, and when I did he only spoke a few words. He was cold and rigid, but compared to the way he treated Rachel, I was a princess. "Hello, Grandpa?" I answered the phone in a sweet voice. He never allowed Rachel to call him grandpa, ever. Rachel always complained about how unfair it was but he allowed me e

Ethan's POVWhat was she doing here?No, the real question was what was I doing here? Just because I was unsure of how the woman I've loved for the majority of my life felt about me, I left my home and came to a bar and the worst part was I met Rachel's worst enemy, who was trying to act coy with me. So then why did I agree to stay?I could have just brushed her off and left, but instead, I remembered Rachel's plan of making Lana chase me and decided to stay. But now I was regretting it. She had been talking nonstop, and all I could do was nod. " Em... By the way, we've met before". She said and internally scoffed. Of course, I knew we had met before. Did she think I had lost my memory or something? Well If that's what she thought, why not just play along? "Really? Where?" I asked innocently. "Yes, we, we went to the same high school together, me, you, Rachel, and Marina." She answered eagerly "We did?" I asked sarcastically but she couldn't possibly notice since it sounded so
