Rachel's povThe loud sound of music echoed in my ear and the club lights kept reflecting in my direction, but all that mattered to me was having fun that night and for once, forgetting I existed in a crazy world. "A glass of whiskey please," I said to the bartender and rested my elbows on the counter.I need to be drunk. They say alcohol helps, and I need that help at that moment. When I thought everything was falling into place, it was ruined before it even started.I rolled my neck with my eyes shut, and I never noticed when she sat beside me. "Here you go, ma'am." The voice of the bartender forced my eyes open but before I could pick the glass up, she snatched it away and replaced it with a glass of apple drink with little alcohol."C'mon sis, we aren't here to get drunk. We are here to have fun and you want to ruin it? You have a date with Kelvin tomorrow. You need to be lightheaded." Right, I need to be light-headed and not get my planned date ruined with a hangover. I picked

Rachel's pov The next morning...I was woken up by the rays of light shining bright on my face. I turned and stretched my arms wide enough, but got a quick bolt of fear flow into me when my hand touched the skin of someone beside me.I gasped and sat up with my eyes wide open. A man on the bed with me. How.....What happened.....What is going on.... who is he?....I had lots of questions running through my head at the same time. What was happening? Why was a man naked on the same bed as me? I am naked too.Everything that happened at night came rushing back to my memory. I had slept with the man beside me. I had slept with Noah Grande.I pulled out a gasp from my throat and moved back in fright. My heart was beating faster than normal, realizing what I had done. I had betrayed my boyfriend and my sister. Her fiance was the man on my bed. Surprisingly, it felt so good. I could still remember the ecstasy feeling he made me feel. It felt so good.I hit my forehead realizing I was reminis

Rachel's Pov My whole world came crashing right before my very eyes. Before I could come back to what was happening, Mother grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the room, going downstairs where everyone was waiting.She pushed me forward with so much strength that I lost my stance and hit the chair. Before I could recover from the pain, Kim walked to me and turned me to face her, connecting her palm to my face afterward."How dare you do this to me!" She yelled out and slapped me on the other cheek.Well, I deserve it anyway."The sister who I love so much and care for. The sister who I take as my only friend, dares betray me this way. What did I ever do to you to deserve this?" Kim cried with so much hurt in her voice and her eyes.I couldn't look at her. I was so embarrassed to do so. I am an embarrassment. How could I do this to my sister? She has every right to hate me."I .....I was...I didn't...." I couldn't form a sentence cause all I thought about was the scene replaying its

Rachel's Pov "What?!" Did I seduce him? Even though I was drunk and out of my senses, I clearly remembered what happened between us. There was no way I seduced him. He was in the room when I got there. I never went into that room alone. Kimberly took me in there herself. "What are you talking about? I never seduced you. We both did it willingly." He smirked and pressed back, "There is no way I will willingly lay with you when I am in love with Kimberly. I will never betray her. You did it cause you wanted me right from the beginning." "I seduced you? Noah, I was drunk. We both were drunk and it happened. I never seduced you."He laughed and shook his head in utmost disbelief.I swallowed hard and drew forward with my palms resting on the table, "Kimberly is also my sister and I will never betray her willingly. I never wanted you." I was getting annoyed with how he took it.We should both be finding a way to resolve this and not blaming anyone. This was no one's fault except the a

My heart skipped a beat after what Kim said. It was all a plan.I leaned closer to listen to their conversation while keeping myself from being seen by them.Mother sat beside her and touched her cheeks gently, "We won baby, we won. We have gotten Rachel out and that's all that matters." Kim drew away from her mother and shook her head, "Mother, Noah is supposed to be mine. We didn't win. She won instead by taking the man I love." She stood up and dug her fingers into her hair."I don't know how this happened. Noah wasn't supposed to be in that room that night. I had it all planned out and my plan was going to be successful. How did he end up in that room? That should have been the man we hired instead."Oh my goodness! My heart seized for some seconds and my head spun. I covered my mouth to prevent myself from screaming which I wanted to do.I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe my sister would go that far in destroying me. How could she? So it was all a plan after all.I have b

Kelvin's POVI stormed into the house, slamming the door shut behind me. I was fuming in rage, but it wasn’t from what anyone thought it was. It was something else, and as usual on entering, My parents, the Pattersons, pounced on me as usual.“Can you see the humiliation that girl has caused us!” my father said angrily, rising from his chair.“I had always known she was a good-for-nothing,” my mother chimed in, glaring at me as if Rachel's issue was my doing. “She tends to cause problems wherever she goes.”I stood there watching them say all sorts of things about her, letting their words stab me at various angles. The actual problem here wasn’t Rachael. She was never the problem. I know I should feel angry for what she had done, or at least pretend to be hurt, but deep down, I was amused. I loved it I wasn’t mad at Rachel for sleeping with Noah. It was just the perfect excuse, an excuse for me to finally be free and distance myself from her and whatever mess she'd caused herself. Al

Rachel’s POVMy eyes slowly fluttered open, the light blinding them as I slowly adjusted to the room around me. My head felt heavy like it was hung to a weight, making me breathe heavily with extra Where... where was I?The room wasn’t so grand but a bit comfortable, it had plain walls, a few not-so-new wooden chairs, and a bed that creaked as I tried moving due to my weight. The air felt cool but a bit dry, and there was a faint scent of lavender.Before I could move, the door creaked open. A girl, not more than 13, peeked her head in. Her eyes widened when she saw me awake. “Mom! Mom! Come quick! She’s finally awake!”Her voice echoed down the hall, and a few minutes later, a woman’s voice responded, though softer. “Rayna, what have I told you about yelling?”The girl gave me a quick smile before darting back out of the room. I was still struggling to process what was happening when a woman, who should be in her early forties, entered. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail, and th

Rachel's POVWeeks went by in a blur and while the pain in my head was gradually subsiding, the fragments of my memories slowly came back in bits but were disjointed and confusing. Sometimes it felt like trying to piece together, solving a puzzle with missing pieces. All I could see were faces, words, and feelings all jumbled up, they all drifted in and out, but nothing solid yet.Sophia and Rayna had been very kind to me, keeping me safe indoors. Every time I asked why I wasn’t allowed outside, Sophia would shrug it off, saying it was “for my good.”Rayna, on the other hand, was a darling, not making her bored for a single moment. She filled the long hours with chatter, stories, and games, always trying to keep me away from thinking too much. Her laughter was so contagious and her presence helped distract me from the endless questions running through my mind.I sat by the window, one afternoon with Sophia, I absentmindedly felt the necklace hanging around my neck. It felt familiar s

Rachel’s POVI suddenly jerked from my sleep gasping for air as tears flowed freely down my face. The remnants of the nightmare came hunting me, dark and suffocating. My head could still hear the echoes of those annoying words, feel the weight so heavy pulling my chest so hard."How dare you, Rachel! How could you do this to your sister?" Those words kept replaying as I struggled to wake up from my nightmare.I forced my eyes open, trying to break free from the fear that had gripped me. Cold sweat formed beads on my skin, and my breaths came in short, heavy gasps. As my vision cleared, I realized I saw her seated beside me.Sophia was right by my side on the bed, gently cleaning my face with a wet cool, damp washcloth. Her eyes were filled with concern, her movements slow and comforting, I felt a move at her kindness.“The stress yesterday was too much for you that you passed out from exhaustion,” she said quietly. “ I hope you feel better now?”I blinked slowly, my mind still cloude
