Chapter 153: Stay Here

The morning sunlight filtered softly through Rayna’s curtains, casting golden stripes across her bedroom floor. But the peaceful quiet didn’t last.

The sharp chime of her phone yanked her from the fragile edge of sleep. Groaning softly, she reached for the device on her nightstand, squinting at the screen as the notifications poured in one after another.

Her brows furrowed. Multiple news alerts. She wanted to go back to sleep but her curiosity wouldn’t let her. So she decided to just check and see what it was before returning to sleep.

She picked up her phone again and her heart gave a strange lurch as she unlocked the phone wondering what could be trending with so much intensity.

Curious, she sat up straighter, her heart thudding a little harder as she clicked on one of the links on the news alert after seeing the headlines.

And there it was.

Ivy’s tear-streaked face filled the screen, her voice soft and shaking as she addressed the camera.

Rayna’s breath caught as she turned up the volume.

The video showed Ivy’s hands trembling, her eyes glossy with crocodile tears. "I know people will judge me. But I had to speak. I had to let the world see who Stefan really is. Who my sister really is."

Rayna’s stomach churned. She could barely breathe as the video ended, her fingers trembling as she lowered the phone to her lap.

The comments under the video were worse.

How could Ruby do that to her own sister?

Poor Ivy. She looks so heartbroken.

Stefan and Ruby deserve each other—two snakes.

Shame on them.
