“Burn those who burned me!”
<b>Chapter </b><b>82 </b>
<i>“</i><i>Make </i><i>sure you </i><i>both </i><ie </i><i>home</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
That final word pierced ra’s heart with warmth. Finally, she could <b>feel </b>at home.
After saying their final goodbyes, ra and Gloria headed to their new condo.
<i>“</i><i>Whoo</i><i>–</i><i>hoo</i>!!! <i>ra </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>ready</i><i>! </i><i>The new </i><i>adventure </i><i>starts </i><i>now </i><i>mama</i><i>! </i><i>You’re </i><i>finally </i><i>an </i><i>adult</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>AND </i><i>we </i><i>gotta </i><i>new </i><i>mystery man </i><i>on </i><i>our </i><i>hands</i><i>.</i>”
ra slightly blushed. She hadn’t heard from her mystery benefactor since the day of her flight, but she did hear from her friend Christine about some of what happened at the g. She and Gloria had a good timeughing at that, but because Christine didn’t attend the g, she wasn’t sure who the mystery person was.
<i>“</i>I’m <i>meeting </i><i>up </i><i>with </i><i>Terra in </i><i>a </i><i>few weeks </i>so I <i>should have </i><i>the full </i><i>story</i>.”
That was the day after the g, ra knew she would be hearing from them soon.
The movers finished unpacking the condo swiftly leaving the girls time to unwind. While rxing in their new living room, there was a sudden knock on the door.
“I’ll <i>get </i><i>it</i><i>.</i>”
Gloria popped up before ra could move.
<i>“</i><i>Ehhh</i>!!!! <i>Casey</i>!!!”
Casey picked Gloria up and hugged her tight, nting a soft kiss on her <b>lips</b><b>, </b><b>she </b><b>beamed </b>brightly.
<i>“</i>Hey <i>baby</i><i>, </i><i>did </i>you miss me<i>?</i>”
<i>“</i><b><i>Did </i></b>I <b><i>miss </i></b><b><i>you</i></b><i>? </i><b><i>Yes</i></b>!”
<b>Casey </b><bughed </b><b>lightly </b><b>as </b><b>he </b><b>made </b><b>his </b>way into the condo. Looking around <b>before </b><b>spotting </b><b>ra</b>.

<i>“</i><i>Hey</i><i>! </i><i>d </i><i>you’re </i><i>here</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>
Gloria interjected.
<i>“</i><i>Me </i><i>too</i>! <i>I’m </i><i>starving</i>!”

Gloria took everyone to Pizza Pce. After making their order, the three of them sat at a booth catching up. Casey showed the girls pictures from his family vacation.
“<i>OMG</i><i>! </i><i>It </i>looks like <i>everyone </i><i>had </i>so <i>much </i><i>fun</i>!”
Gloria gushed as she scrolled through the pictures.
<i>“</i><i>Yeah</i>, <i>my </i><i>mom </i>said next vacation <i>you </i>gottae<i>.</i>”
Gloria blushed. She and Casey’s mom bonded over Christmas vacation. Casey suddenly looked at ra with a mischievous smile,
“<b>So</b>, <b>I </b><i>heard </i><i>what </i>happened at <i>your </i>step–sister’s little g<i>.</i><i>” </i>
ra <bughed </b><b>as </b><b>she </b>stuffed fries in her mouth.

<i>“</i><i>Yup</i>, <i>apparently </i><i>somebody </i><i>made </i><i>them </i><i>look </i><i>very </i><i>foolish</i>.”
Casey looked at ra with a puzzled expression.
<i>“</i><i>Somebody</i>? <i>You </i><i>mean</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>don’t </i><i>know</i><i>?</i><b><i>” </i></b>
Both Gloria and ra looked confused. <fn427d> Chapters first released on f?ndnovel</fn427d>
<i>“</i><i>Know </i><i>what</i><i>?</i>”
Gloria asked as she sprinkled garlic on her pizza.
<i>“</i><i>It </i><i>was </i><i>Ethan </i><i>Taylor</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
<b><i>WHAT</i></b><i>!!!!!! </i>
ra could hardly believe her ears. ETHAN TAYLOR! Why?
“<i>I </i><i>don’t </i><i>understand</i>. <i>Are </i><i>you </i><i>saying Ethan </i><i>Taylor ruined </i><i>my </i><i>sister’s </i><i>g</i><i>? </i><i>Why</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>
“<i>Well</i><i>, </i><i>because </i><i>of </i><i>you</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>
ra and Gloria’s eyes bulged. Gloria practically choked on her soda.
“<i>Wait</i><i>! </i><i>Ethan Taylor </i><i>knows </i><i>ra</i>. <i>ra </i><i>you </i><i>know </i><i>him</i>?”
“<i>What</i><i>! </i>No! I <i>have </i><i>no </i>idea what’s goin on <i>right </i>now. <i>Casey</i>, are <i>you </i>sure?”
Casey wiped his hands and reached for his phone, Pulling up a video, he widened <b>his </b>screen so both girls could. It was video from the g. The scene was when Ethan confronted the Grangers.
ra could hardly believe what <b>she </b>was seeing<b>, </b>there was Ethan Taylor, <b>confronting </b><b>her </b>father on her behalf. But the most shocking part came next. The phone call. ra <b>looked </b><b>on </b>in shock <b>as </b>she remembered that exact conversation. Suddenly, Gloria <b>spoke </b><b>up. </b>
