Prologue

VALENTINOAs I held my weeping baby brother in my arms, I could only stare out at the mess. The blood and dead bodies were littered in front of me, breaking my heart. The faces of my pregnant mother and my stepfather would be burned into my memory forever. I was going to have a sister—our family was going to be complete. Then, in just a blink of an eye, they were gone, leaving me with my younger half-brother, Alex.I could still remember sitting there at the kitchen table eating my favorite soup. My mother had the most beautiful smile on her face as she talked about the weather outside. She loved the rain, she loved everything it represented. As she went on and on about the old times when she would go outside and play in the rain all on her own, I rolled my eyes. Her words were strange, but I wished I could take it all back now. I wished I would have paid more attention and asked more questions to keep that smile on my mother’s face, but I didn’t. I ignored her.Everything happened wa

CHAPTER 92

AnastasiaI was prepared to become a woman when I was just a little girl. Childhood vanished before my eyes. That’s what happens when you rid someone of love. You open the doors to darkness without letting them realize there could ever be color. I want to say that I blamed my mother, but the only way I could do that was to also blame her mother, and then the mother of her mother.The heat that escalated through my body only seemed to grow as I tried to ignore it. The longer I tossed and turned, the more the temperature pricked my skin. A sigh escaped my lips as I just lay there in a pit of sweat, hoping it wasn’t affecting my sister as much as it was affecting me.“Nana,” Aria called out from the other side of the room. “Mum didn’t pay the electricity bill again, did she?”“Stay here, I’ll figure it out,” I whispered before getting up from the mattress.We weren’t fortunate enough to own anything to lift our bed off the ground. We were lucky enough to simply have a mattress.I walked

CHAPTER 93

I looked over at Aria to see that her nose was bleeding. The longer I watched her, the quicker I realized that her eyes were shut as she stared at Mum. I couldn’t help but also notice how unevenly her body seemed to sway.“Aria, are you okay?”I hurriedly walked over to the restroom, grabbing as much toilet paper as I could. Promptly, I held it up to her nose as my heartbeat seemed to race. My brows were furrowed as hope began banging on the door to my heart that Aria would be okay.“Nana, I don’t feel too good,” she whispered. It wasn’t the first time she had her nose bleed. She had been having them for the past few weeks. However, I had never seen her so drained before.I walked her to the bed, and I helped her lay down. My eyes scanned her body and saw many bruises and red spots. She looked terrible, and my constant work made it challenging to notice any of this.“We need to take her to a hospital, now!” I exclaimed.“For a nosebleed? Really, Anastasia? It’s probably just the heat,

CHAPTER 94

AnastasiaLeukemia. My little sister had stage four leukemia. No matter how hard my mind tried to grasp that there was almost nothing the doctors could do, I failed.I stared at my sister, who was sleeping soundly due to the medicine the doctor had given her. I couldn’t help but pace back and forth around the room as I tried calling my mother over and over again. At first, it seemed as if she were ignoring my calls, but it soon turned into every call I made going to voicemail.Throwing myself on the chair, I brought my hands up to my face as tears streamed down my face. I could only focus on the dust that fluttered around the room as I thought about not being able to see my sister again. Never in my life could I imagine having to bury my little sister. She was always supposed to outlive me.A knock sounded on the door, leaving me with a mere moment to wipe my tears away before it opened. A woman strolled in wearing a smile on her face. I knew she could see how I had just been crying

CHAPTER 95

“Don’t worry about anything. I’ll figure it all out like I always do. I’m going to go call a nurse,” I said, touching the top of her head before walking out of the room. One of the nurses automatically perked up from behind the desk. She walked around the counter to come toward me.“She keeps clutching her side in pain,” I informed her. She quickly nodded before entering the room. Her eyes were immediately on Aria as she began to do something with her IV.“I’ll be right back with some more pain medication. Dr. Flores is one of the best oncologists in the nation. He is eager to meet you, Ariaandria. He’ll be here as soon as he lands,” the nurse stated with a bright smile. Once she finished changing the IV, the nurse exited the room.“Don’t you have to work today?” my sister asked.One thing I love about Aria is her intelligence. I knew that when she spaced out, it was her intellect putting things together. Her mind had a way of solving the impossible equations of life.“I’m chucking a

CHAPTER 96

Anastasia POVI fell asleep in a hard chair right beside Aria’s hospital bed. With a groan, I lifted my head from the palm of my hand as my eyes began to adjust to the light. I could hear my little sister’s voice, but it was just taking my brain a while to process her words.“Okay, that sounds terrifying,” Aria said. With those words, I immediately snapped out of whatever trance I was in before I looked up at my sister. Her head angled toward me as she shot me a gentle smile. I couldn’t help but notice her cracked lips and the alarming paleness of her skin.“Morning, my little emoji. The doctor is finally here,” Aria said. She had a great way of not showing how much pain she was in. If someone random were to walk in, they never would’ve been able to guess that her organs were dying.“How do you come up with yellow things like that on the spot?” I asked, chuckling softly. My hands rose to my face just to make sure there was no drool on the side of my mouth as I tried my best to fix my

CHAPTER 97

The second we open our hearts to having faith or putting trust in someone, we end up being reminded of why that voice in the back of our head screamed at us not to.“Thanks,” I gritted out, my voice shaking. I wasn’t sure what I was thanking him for, but the word flew out of me because it was the only word that didn’t sting.“I want this to be easier for you, I really do. Trust me when I say that I’m giving this one hundred and ten percent, Ms. Smith,” he pleaded. He gave me one last look of sorrow and then proceeded to walk over to Aria. “I’ll see about starting you on that chemotherapy in about thirty minutes.”After she nodded her head, the doctor turned on his heels and walked out of the room. I watched his retreating figure before my eyes shut tightly.“You have work in an hour. You should go home and get ready,” Aria stated calmly as if her oncologist hadn’t just told her that her world could possibly end within two months. It left me puzzled. How could she do such a good job at

CHAPTER 98

“Girl, what’s got you so bummed out?” My co-worker, Liliana, had asked me while I was placing burgers on a tray. She stood right by me with her hand on her hip as she awaited my answer.“My sister is probably dying of cancer, and I have to sit here and pretend that everything is okay. I just can’t stop thinking about her,” I answered honestly. She reached out and touched my shoulder. A small smile made its way onto her features. I looked over at her dark complexion and big bouncy curls that fell down her back. Liliana was a beautiful girl inside and out.“My mom passed away from lung cancer when I was younger. She always told me to stay strong, so now I am telling you…stay strong, Anastasia,” she said, opening her arms. I walked into them, allowing her to hug me. Her hug was soothing me, calming me in every place my crying heart hadn’t stopped its weeping. It felt like the hug a mother would give their daughter, but she was my twenty-year-old friend who could make me feel more at home

CHAPTER 99

Anastasia POVI sat in my car with my eyes gazing down at the business card in my hands. My previous conversation with Liliana kept playing over and over again in my head. Stripping?I didn’t know the first thing about stripping, but then my thoughts traveled over to my sister. Deep down, I knew that if I could make as much money as Liliana’s cousin did, then maybe I could also help my mother as well. All she needed was some mental help. Maybe with the right amount of extra money, I could provide that for her.Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my phone from my pocket before typing the numbers on the card. Each number seemed to make my heart thump a little faster. Finally, I pressed the little green button signaling to call.“How may I help you?” a lady asked over the phone. Her voice wasn’t exactly as welcoming as I expected it would be. It seemed as though she were in a rush and the last thing she wanted was to be on the phone with some wannabe stripper.“Hi, my name’s Anastasia. I was

CHAPTER 100

“She got this house from just stripping?” I asked, astonished. All Lily did was nod her head with a grin before opening up her door. I followed right behind her as I exited my vehicle.We strolled to the house, but just before Liliana could ring the doorbell, it opened.“Lily,” a beautiful woman said, opening her arms. Liliana happily walked into them, smiling so big. It was something she couldn’t stop herself from doing. Her smile was always there on her face, and it also happened to be one of the most contagious things to ever exist.“Janice,” she returned the greeting.Finally, they pulled apart and Janice smiled at me happily. She was slightly taller than average height, and she had a body to kill for. Just like Liliana, full lips sat perfectly on her face.“Is this the friend you told me about? Anastasia, isn’t it?” she asked, raising a perfect brow at me. Nodding, I watched as she tied her long, beautiful curls up into a bun, making sure to tuck a loose strand behind her ear. Sh
