Waking up to the sound of waves crashing on the shores was a different kind of tranquility. It was awelcome change from the usual hustle and bustle of the day-to-day LA lifestyle that I had becomeaccustomed to.

I woke up beside my sister in complete and utter paradise today. Hoved seeing the peace and the calmon her face. She had been so tense since the mendent with Tabitha and who could blame her Thewoman was as deranged as they came.

She had somehow got it into her head that she and Ashton were meant to be. If I was being honest itkind of reminded me of another psychotic woman who was trying to be me

No, none of that I scolded myself Today I would only think of good things and no need to dwell onpeople like Angela when I was in literal paradise.

Damon had done good.

We were on a production break and I had just planned to spend the break at home with my husbandand my sister. But a quick getaway to Mau was exactly what Corima needed and seeing her happymade me feel more at ease

This woman had been through so much because of that asshole that I still had the displeasure ofcalling my brother-in-law. 1 still did not understand how Damon and he could even share the sameDNA. They were two very different people.

For starters, Damon had a heart and Ashton did not. I would not be surprised if we opened him up andfound nothing but smoke and mirrors. The man loved himself far too much and it still baffled me that I

thought that I had loved him.

I sipped on the tea that I had made myself after getting out of bed. I had wanted to watch the sunriseabove the horizon 1 could see orange and yellow pant the skies as the sun kissed the dark night skygoodbye.

“What are you doing up so early?” My little sister came out onto the porch and walked over to sit besideme on the swing that was attached to the porch. “Tea?”

“Ginger tea. The husband says that it will curl the morning sickness-it’s so nasty. But he said that Ineed to drink every morning when I get up and he made me promise so here I am.”

To be honest I had gotten used to the taste now. I could stomach it and it did help with the nausea andmade me feel a little more awake without the need for coffee

“I still can’t believe that you’re pregnant,” she smiled at me looking at my barely-there stomach. Therewere days when I thought I could see a little bump but it would turn out to be just bloating. “You’regoing to make me an aunty. Probably the only good thing that’s currently happening in my life.”

“Rina.” I reached for her hand and she intertwined our fingers together “Your life is going well. Grantedwe have to deal with that asshole but at least you’ve started your dream career and you’re replaceing yourfooting in this world. That alone is so hard to do.”

“I just feel like a failure.” She blinked back the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. “I wanted thismarriage to work. I wanted him to be the person that he painted himself to be to me in the beginningdays. I had believed him I had bought into the crap he was selling me and L…” Words failed her andthe tears just continued to fill her eyes.

Ashton Steyn was the only man who ever made me consider murder. I hated to see my sister in pain.She had come a long way to heal the wounds of her past arul she deserved to be loved wholly and

fully-not what this man was doing to her.

“I think it’s time you let go, Rina. Holding onto him will do you no good. He’s done nothing but hurt you”

The first tear fell and I swear that I saw the exact moment her heart shattered. It tore at my heart tothink of how much pain was swirling inside of her. She has to navigate this new life of hers and dealwith the death of the relationship that she had poured everything she had into.

Now the media was spinning stories and trying to make her out to be the bad guy. They were callingher a gold digger and a fame whore They were even saying that she had tried to trap him with a babyeven though he wanted nothing to do with

her

I knew where these whispers were coming from, it didn’t take a genius to figure it out. It was that littlecowardly man who was in hiding

But he would never admit to doing anything because he knew that Damon would be on him like whiteon rice.

I just held my sister while she wept at my side. She let out the pain that she had been carrying forweeks, months if not years. The woman had been so brave and strong but now she just needed to letgo of that burden she was holding onto,

There were moments in life you had to decide for yourself am I hurting myself more by holding on Oram I better off just letting go and dealing with the aftermath that remained?

These were questions that all needed to be answered by her and her alone.

When her cries had lessened and her heart seemed more settled, we just sat on the porch watchingthe sunrise and welcoming the new day.

We had a week away here and we would use that time to reconnect with ourselves. We were both onnew and exciting journeys, albeit she was saying goodbye to something but this was her chance at arebirth. She could become anyone she wanted to be from this moment on. She didn’t have to staystuck in this one-dimensional version of herself.

*I’m scared,” she whispered into the tranquil atmosphere. “I’m scared of what this new life of mine lookslike. I haven’t been single for a very long time and 1 I don’t know how to be alone.”

I turned to look at her and she had her eyes set ahead to the waves. But I could tell from the way hershoulders sagged her features were contorted with worry.

I grabbed her hand in mine again and gave it a gentle squeeze. “Nobody ever said that you had to dothings with bravery all the time. It’s okay to step into new horizons scared. If you can’t do it bravely,then do it scared. Do it terrified. But no matter what you have to just do it. You can’t stay still. You can’tstay stagnant. You have to keep moving because the world doesn’t stop for you.”

It was a hard truth I had to learn especially on my journey with my husband. I had to step into theunknown and hope that somehow I made it out alive.

“But just know,” I said as I pulled her into my side. “I will be right by your side through it all, okay? I willbe right by your side no matter what. We are fighters, Rina. If we survived our parents then you cansurely bet that we can survive anything else that life decides to throw at us.”

She nodded, laying her head on my shoulder. “You and me against it all”

“You and me.” I echoed her words in confirmation.

If war was what Ashton wanted then war was what I would give him and this time I wasn’t bringing aknife to a gunfight.
