LILA POV 

Pain? I've been through all kinds of pain, but none hurt like this.

None tore through me with the cruelty of a child, my own child, looking me dead in the eye and calling me Aunt.

Calling my friend Mom, while I sit there, helpless, watching an interaction that should have been mine. Ours.

I thought I was protecting him, protecting us. But I was wrong.

So fucking wrong.

I shouldn't have done this... I was young. Naive.

All I wanted was to protect my child , to keep them far away from Rafael.

And now, I have to sit here and bear the consequences of my choices....
