LOGIN“Miss Sierra, are you okay?”Sierra squeezed her eyes shut as a fresh wave of dizziness hit, the throbbing in her temples sharpening into a rhythmic stab. It had been two days since she’d gotten enough rest, pushing herself hard to give her students all she had and putting her health on the back burner.She had to rush to school in the morning, missing breakfast, and she even skipped dinner. Driving herself too hard, she’d chosen to sleep instead when night fell.Feeling a heavy palm settle on her shoulder, Sierra’s green eyes snapped open. A flash of irritation flickered through her as she shrugged the hand off, shifting her chair away. “I’m fine. You’re looking for Milly, aren’t you? Well, it just so happens the kids have finished their practice, too.” She got to her feet as her eyes glanced around the room, looking for the little girl who’d just finished her practice.“Yes, but I’m here to see you, too.”Sierra froze on the spot as her ears caught his words. She turned back to him
It had been almost a year since Sierra had been in Russia. She had decided to step away from the modeling world and instead chose to teach at a small school there. She had left behind all the luxury, the glitz of the entertainment world, and the feelings that had once made her feel like she was some stupid, dumb chick.Taking a deep breath, the scent of earth and rainwater was sharp in her nose this morning. The heavy rain from the night before did not stop her from going to teach."Miss Sierra, they are ready." A voice from behind made Sierra look back, a smile spreading across her face as she saw her colleague calling her.Slowly, she drew closer, following the steps of the woman ahead of her. Today was their first rehearsal to welcome the winter season. This school will be holding an event for this year's winter festival. This grand event would be attended by several important people, including high-ranking officials and businessmen who were donors to the school. Sierra was doing
Four days after the tragic accident that befell him, Lance was declared comatose. He lay helpless in the ICU, his heartbeat erratic and faint. A web of medical machinery clung to his body, acting as his only lifeline. His eyes remained tightly shut.The doctors and nurses had just left after checking on him; his condition was far from good. The reality was brutal... a fractured neck, a shattered leg, and a broken arm.As the door opened, two people walked in. One of them hastened her pace, her gaze filled with sorrow as she looked at Lance’s broken form lying on the bed."For God's sake, he’s still alive, Lucas! Don't speak about my boyfriend that way!""He’s useless," Lucas hissed, stepping into the room.Cindy sat beside Lance, ignoring Lucas’s cold remark. She took Lance's hand, gripping it tightly. "I’m so sorry I could only get here today. I didn't get any news until yesterday. It’s okay, you’ll be fine. The doctor said you’d soon—""He’ll soon be dead!" Lucas blurted out, crossi
Ace tapped the pen he was holding against the desk. A ghost of a smirk pulled at the corner of his mouth as he coolly stared at Lance, seated across from him. He caught the black folder in his peripheral vision beside him. Straightening his back, a slight smirk still played on his lips, never leaving his face. "I've signed it. Are you okay? You've been missing for a few days without any news, I thought something had happened—" Ace's words trailed off as Lance cut him off.“Nothing’s wrong, Ace. I’ve just been swamped getting my sister ready for school abroad, and had to head back to my parents' place yesterday. I'm sorry, I didn't get a chance to let you know," Lance said, looking properly sheepish. He then reached out and grabbed the folder, a small, greedy smile tugging at his lips. He was clearly trying to play it cool, but the relief of getting that signature was written all over him.“I see. Good thing Megan was there to help me out yesterday while you were gone,” Ace replied, h
Ace loosened the tie that was wrapped around his neck and rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows. He then unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt as he felt the air in the room was quite suffocating. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the lit laptop screen, which displayed rows of data and CCTV footage that had yet to reveal any clues.Until now, he had found no trace of Sierra. Even after spying on Lucas, he had found nothing suspicious or anything that would lead him to what he needed. All of Lucas's movements seemed completely clean, as if he knew he was being watched.“Looks like Lucas is sneaky enough to hide my woman!” Ace muttered under his breath. He heaved a rough sigh, trying to shake off the frustration that was burning in his chest. He forced himself to keep his emotions in check, clenching his fists until the veins in his arms stood out. Despite someone knocking on his office door, his sharp eyes remained glued to the screen, completely ignoring the disturbance.
Lance and Cindy hurriedly gathered their clothes scattered across the marble floor. After spending over an hour making love on the bed, he decided it was time to end it. Especially when he saw Cindy, who was now lying helplessly beneath him, putting her clothes back on with fingers that were still slightly trembling.“I'll make you something to eat,” said Cindy as she smoothed her messy hair. She stepped closer to Lance and kissed him hard on the lips before leaving the room, leaving behind the scent of perfume mixed with sweat.However, when she opened the door, her body froze. Her breath caught in her throat. There, she found someone sitting calmly on the couch, a cigarette in his hand. Gray ash smoke swirled slowly in the dimly lit living room.Before she could make a sound, Lance took over. He emerged from the doorway of the room, buttoning his black shirt, raising his eyebrows as he saw Lucas in his apartment.“You're here?” Lance asked coldly.Lance cursed under his breath. He h
His footsteps rushed quickly toward his grand mansion. The sound of his shoes echoed down the front hallway, revealing how hard he was holding back his rage that was about to explode. His hands crumpled the paper in his grasp, the paper already wrinkled as if it too had absorbed his frustration. Hi
She lay down on the bed, her eyes slowly drifting shut. Today's photo shoot was extremely exhausting. Her whole body felt broken, not to mention... the pointless argument during the meeting earlier, which had left her head throbbing slightly. She wondered what Lance was planning that made him so de
Shunning the scorching heat of the sun, Sierra made her way briskly. Her skin felt like it was burning. One of the female crew members who was carrying her umbrella looked overwhelmed as she tried to keep pace with Sierra. The sunglasses dangling over her eyes made that woman's charm shine even br
The rain started pouring down, washing the earth with its heavy downpour. Behind the curtain, Sierra kept looking outside from behind the glass window. Her green eyes caught sight of the metallic car still parked in front of her father's house.Wearing maroon satin pajamas, she let out a rough sigh
