ra’s POV: 

 55 

 The Taylor Estate was beautiful! As we made our way to the grand room, we were greeted cheerfully by many of the staff, the warm wees made me feel at ease. This was going to be great! The nerves that were originally haunting my thoughts had begun to disappear. We finally arrived at the grand room, as Winslow opened the door, I could

 see everyone stand up. Winslow smiled and announced our arrival.

 “Taylor family, may I present Ms. ra Rouleau, along with Gloria Rhinehorne and Casey Smithfield.” 

 Ethan’s mother Mrs. A Taylor was the first to approach me. Her eyes beamed brightly; she was absolutely beautiful. Extending her arms as she drew nearer, she embraced me in a hug.

 “We’re so d to finally meet you Ms. Rouleau! Ethan has told us so much about you!” 

 I could hear the slight beak in her voice; she was clearly holding back tears. My mind raced back to my previous life as I thought about the pain she must’ve felt when her daughter passed. I wouldn’t let that…not this time! Hugging her back, I thanked her for the wee.

 The entire family walked over after, everyone hugging and thanking me for everything I was doing to save Maria. The only person I hadn’t noticed yet was Ethan. Before I could inquire his whereabouts, Maria finally walked over.

 Maria was absolutely beautiful, almost a spitting image of her mother, her face almost looked like a doll. I could tell she was thinner than she should be and there were darker circles under hers that a normal 16–year–old would not have. Her body was frail, and she hugged me gently, not wanting to her, I made sure to embrace her lightly. Stepping back, I looked at the person whose life I was about to change. I could feel the tears start to build up as my previous life kept gnawing at me. Exhaling in order to push the tears back, I began to speak.

 “It’s such a pleasure to finally meet you Ms. Maria.”

 …

 She smiled brightly at me, even with having Leukemia, her energy and smile was pure and all I wanted to preserve that smile.

 “I’m so happy to meet you too Ms. Rouleau!”

 Her voice was angelic,

 “Please, everyone, call me ra.”

 After the greetings, we all made our way to the seating area, suddenly, Ethan and Owen

 appeared.

 Ethan’s POV: 

 I stared from the foyer as the family greeted ra. I figured I’d let them meet her first

 before I came into the room. She was smiling so brightly, her face looked like an angel.

 She was wearing this light blue sundress, her hair was braided straight down her back,

 she was wearing her sses again. How could someone be so beautiful in a pair of sses. As I looked on, I could feel Owen’s eyes piercing me.

 “Got something you want say.” <fnb6e0> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? f?ndnovel</fnb6e0>

 I spoke through gritted teeth, and I turned to look at him. A mischievous smile nted

 on his face.

 “I have no idea what you’re talking Taylor. Shall we go inside?”

 I rolled my eyes but nodded in agreement. As we entered the room, my mother looked at me instantly, a huge smile on her face.

 “Ethan! There you two are! Well, <ie and have a seat. We were all just getting to know ra and her friends more.” 

 Casey Smithfield stood up first, ying the role of big brother, he sternly shook my

 hand.

 9:36 Sat, Sep 6 B..

 “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you Chairman Taylor, I’m Casey Smithfield.” 

 I knew of Casey’s family, his father was a sessful real estate tycoon, I’d actually purchased a few properties from him myself over the years.

 “It’s my pleasure as well, please, call me Ethan. This is my VP and best friend Owen Crawford”

 He smiled lightly and shock Owen’s hand as Gloria made her way over. Smiling brightly,

 she leaned in to hug me.
