SEIRRA'S POINT OF VIEW

“Excuse me, Liam?” I raised a brow, my tone sharper than I intended.

He blinked. “Sorry for asking.”

“You should be sorry,” I snapped. “And what exactly gave you the impression I’ve met Bianca Brown?”

He shifted, rubbing the back of his neck. “I didn’t mean anything by it. Just… the way you were so quick to defend her, I assumed—”

“Well, you assumed wrong.”

I said it flatly, my frown deepening.

I had met Bianca Brown. Just once. But he didn’t need to that...

Okay, so maybe I was pushing a little hard.

Fine—a lot hard.

But can you blame me?

I mean, most of the time when a guy starts saying “my ex had issues”, it’s code for “I drove her crazy then gaslit her for reacting.” And for someone like me who’s seen too much and grown from even more, I wasn’t about to just sit there and let some smooth-talking billionaire paint himself as Prince Charming without question.

But still.

Here was Liam Foster—sitting across from me in this elegant, candlelit restaurant with crys

  • Billionairess By Survival    The wedding: Part 3

    SEIRRA'S POINT OF VIEW Bianca’s heels clicked against the marble floor as she made her way toward our table, her champagne glass already in hand. I could feel Becca stiffen beside me, and Liam’s thumb rubbed slow, grounding circles on the back of my hand.“Well, well, well,” Bianca began, stopping just short of our table. “Sierra Morgan. You’ve been quiet tonight. That’s… unusual.”I didn’t answer. I’d learned that with Bianca, silence was often the sharpest weapon.But she just smirked, clearly not deterred. “I think this room could use a little… entertainment.” And before I could even process what she meant, she was sashaying toward the stage, the clink of her glass echoing through the chatter.“Oh, no,” Becca muttered.Bianca took the mic from the DJ like she’d been rehearsing for this moment her whole life. She turned toward Sabrina and Rolland, smiling sweetly.“I’d like to make a toast,” she said, her voice syrupy and loud enough for everyone to hear. “To my best friend, Sabrin

  • Billionairess By Survival    The wedding: Part 2

    The wedding crowd was buzzing. People floated between tables like colorful fish in a coral reef, smiling, hugging, air-kissing. Almost everyone who passed our table stopped to greet me. “Sierra! You look amazing,” one woman gushed, touching my arm. “Thank you,” I replied with the kind of polite smile you reserve for strangers who know more about your life than you wish they did. A couple of industry acquaintances waved from across the room. A man I barely knew asked if I’d had the baby yet — which made Becca choke on her water. I deflected with a soft laugh and another empty smile. The ceremony began soon after, soft music floating in as Sabrina made her entrance. She looked exactly how I expected: flawless in a gown that probably cost more than my car, her hand delicately looped through Rolland’s arm as they walked. Applause rippled through the crowd, but my hands stayed in my lap. Becca leaned toward me. “Her veil’s nice. Shame it’s hiding her real face.” I bit back a laugh, m

  • Billionairess By Survival    The wedding: Part 1

    SEIRRA'S POINT OF VIEW I stared at my reflection in the mirror, unsure if I recognized the woman staring back. My skin looked flawless, thanks to Becca’s magic hands, but my eyes… my eyes still carried the weight of sleepless nights, the hospital corridors, and the constant hum of fear I’d been living in.“You look like a goddess,” Becca said, stepping back to admire her work. She was already dressed, her wine-colored dress hugging her figure perfectly. “Trust me, Sierra, nobody’s gonna even breathe wrong around you tonight.”I snorted softly. “Except Bianca. And maybe Tessa.”“Bianca can eat air and choke on it,” Becca said, picking up the highlighter again and dusting my cheekbones. “And Tessa? She’s the least of your problems. That girl can barely keep her lipstick in place, let alone her morals.”I gave a small laugh but my chest felt tight. Liam wasn’t coming. He’d texted earlier that he was staying with Claire tonight, which made sense. She was still in a coma, and even though

  • Billionairess By Survival    Relief and Exhaustion

    SIERRA'S POINT OF VIEW I don’t think I’ve ever felt relief and exhaustion at the same time until today.The hospital finally called me this morning—there’s a donor for Mum. It took everything in me not to break down right there in the hallway. I don’t even remember how I got from the hospital back home, but I know my legs were shaking the whole time.I’d already signed the necessary documents, paid for the surgery, and made sure the doctors had everything they needed. They promised it would happen in a few days. For the first time in what felt like forever, I could breathe without that crushing weight in my chest.Liam had gone home to rest—God knows he needed it. Claire was still in a coma, and he’d been sitting by her side almost twenty-four hours a day. I told him to get some sleep, but I know he won’t rest for long. He’s not built for sitting still when the people he loves are in pain.But what really got to me wasn’t the exhaustion, it was the silence.Tessa, Logan, Sabrina, Bia

  • Billionairess By Survival    The words we owe

    SEIRRAS'S POINT OF VIEW The corridor outside the hospital ward smelled faintly of antiseptic and coffee—an odd combination that had started to sink into my clothes. I’d been pacing for so long my knees ached, but the moment I spotted Liam coming down the hall, my steps faltered. His hair was messy, his shirt half untucked, and there was this raw exhaustion in his eyes that made my heart clench. He stopped a few feet away from me, hands buried in his pockets like he was scared of what to do with them. For a second, neither of us spoke. The hum of the fluorescent lights felt louder than usual. Then, he sighed. “Sierra…” I braced myself. “I’m sorry.” His voice cracked halfway through the words, but he didn’t look away. “I shouldn’t have said what I said earlier. I was tired and frustrated and—” “No.” I shook my head quickly, my voice catching. “You’re not the one who should be apologizing.” He blinked at me, his brows knitting together. “Sierra—” “I was selfish,” I cut in, forc

  • Billionairess By Survival    Shattered Words

    SEIRRAS'S POINT OF VIEW I had barely closed my eyes when my phone started buzzing. Liam. Of course. I hesitated before answering. My voice came out groggy. “Hello?” “I’m going to see my sister,” he said, tone clipped, like he didn’t have the time for small talk. Something in me tightened. “And you didn’t think to tell me before now?” “Seirra, I’m telling you right now.” “That’s not the same, Liam,” I said, my voice sharper than I intended. “You’ve been here all night and didn’t once—” “Oh my gosh, Seirra, will you stop being selfish for one second?” His words slammed into me like ice water. “Not everything is about you! My sister is lying in a hospital bed, in a coma, and you’re—” “I’m what? Caring about my own mother who’s also lying in a hospital bed?” My voice cracked. “Do you think I’m not scared? Do you think this is easy for me?” We were both breathing heavily now, the air between us thick with tension and hurt. “Sometimes it feels like you don’t see anything beyond
