"Sierra, what we have between us stops today. She's back," he looked at me calmly. “The woman at the restaurant is Cassie?” I pretended to be clueless. I didn't want divorce. “Yes and she’s back, you know what that means right?” He looked at me seeking confirmation but I played dumbfounded. “What happens to us, what we’ve built?” “There’s no us Sierra, when are you going to get that through your head, I’ve never lied to you about my feelings for Cassie,” he said still no emotion in his eyes. “But you married me, I’m your wife now,” I muttered in a low tone, as much as I wanted to shout I still was in a lot of pain. Son of the richest family in the city, Damian made his name on his own as one of the most successful lawyers, instead of taking over his father's business. He is the dream lover: rich, dominant, protective, loyal —IF he loves you, Sierra was unfortunate as she was not the one he loved. ******* After Damian ended their marriage for his ex, Cassie, Sierra moved to Texas to start anew. Only for her to return five years later as a rich, successful woman and a mother of triplets. The triplets looked exactly like Damian. Damian’s dormant heart beat again after seeing her, he wanted a second chance; was Sierra willing to forgive him after what he made her go through? Was she willing to throw the cold aura she built around herself, will he be able to win her heart again now that secrets left buried were hatched and most importantly was Cassie going to lose Damian without a fight? The answer is no. How will Damian and Sierra overcome it? Or will they ever?
View More~SIERRA~I don't know why I felt uneasy when Damian chased after Cassie. “I thought he was begging for a second chance,” I said to myself as I paced around. What bothered me the most was his guts. How could he ask me for the reason I ended the call? Was I obligated to answer his calls?“Sierra, what's wrong?” Lily's voice shook me out of my thoughts.“Nothing, how are you?” I walked to my chair.“I'm good,” she said as she walked in. “But are you good?” she suspiciously asked.“Yes, I'm fine, Lily,” I said and cleared my voice. “What—what did you want?” I pretended to work on my computer.“Nothing, I just came to remind you of lunch, remember?”“Oh yes, don't worry, I'll be there, it's at one, right?”“Twelve, I'll come and get you,” she said, and I smiled and nodded. “Okay, I guess I'll see you later,” she said, and turned to walk out but stopped. “Are you sure you're okay? I mean, I saw Cassie...”“I'm fine, Lily, I'm just a bit busy. See you at lunch, okay?” I was not in the mood
~DAMIAN~I couldn't believe it was Sierra. I never knew five years could change a person the way it did for Sierra. She was just a sweet, loving woman when she became tough and bossy.“Do I need to remind you that I own this company?” “And it would be nothing without, I'm the reason you can still call it a company. That aside, what did you want to talk about?” She coldly responded. I didn't know what to say because she was right—this wouldn't be a company without her.“Why did you end the call in my ear last night even after I told you that I love you?” I changed the topic.“Because it's my phone, and I chose who to speak to,” she said, and continued to scan through the document. I took steps toward her. “So you're telling me that you don't want to talk to me?” I asked, and she stood up, faced me, and answered.“Yes, do you want me to spell it for you? I don't want to talk to you, why don't you get that and focus on your marriage?” She calmly said. “What marriage?”“I don't know, w
~DAMIAN~I woke up with a stinging pain. “Fuck!” I cursed as I examined my head and walked to the bathroom. I don't even know why I drank when I knew this was what it would give me the next morning.After Sierra ended the call in my ear last night, even when I told her I loved her, I couldn't help but drink. It helped me forget about her for a few minutes, but now the alcohol was out of my system, and I couldn't help but think of Sierra again. I don't know what was wrong with me or why she suddenly became everything I thought of. I can't even go a second without a thought of her.
~SIERRA~“C? But when did she get time to send this, and why does she want to meet me?” “Ms. Reid, is everything okay?” My gatekeeper asked, and I didn't even realise that I was talking out loud.“Yes, everything is fine; please excuse me,” I said as I walked inside the house.“Mommy! Mommy!” My kids ran to me as soon as I entered. I kneeled to level with them and hugged them; they didn't even wait for a turn as they both ran into my arms at the same time.“Okay, I see you missed Mommy,” I said, standing up."Yes, Mommy, we prepared lunch. Come, let's eat,” Ingrid said, pulling me towards the dining room. I could not refuse, as I was hungry and wanted to spend time with them.“Ms. Reid, welcome,” Lana greeted, and I nodded. She was dishing out the food.“How's Nana?” I asked and took my seat while the kids got in their seats as well.“She's doing fine; Beatrice is with her,” she said, and I nodded. As much as I was trying to act normal, the note disturbed me. Was it Cassie or someone
Damian came between us and pushed my guard away from Cassie. Cassie was now crying, pretending to be hurt, and Damian examined her wrist.“She's so evil, she asked him to hit me,” she lied, and I rolled my eyes.“Have your parents not taught you never to touch a woman?” Damian turned to my guard.“I was only doing my job, and that was to protect Ms. Reid,” my guard defended himself.“And hitting another woman makes you a good guard?” Damian sounded angry. Of course, he would do anything for Cassie, it was not news t
“What—what are you doing in my office?” I cleared my throat so my voice could come out properly.“Office? Let me remind you that this is my husband's company, so by law, I have the right to be anywhere I want,” she said. I walked close to her so I could face her. I didn’t want her to think I was afraid of her or that her threats scared me.“I don’t know if your husband told you, but I’m the highest shareholder here, actually the only one, this won’t be a company without me,” I told her with the same courage she spoke.
~SIERRA~“Damian, good morning.” Ethan greeted him, but he dismissed his greeting.“Mr. Winters, what are you doing here? Isn't it too early for you to be sitting around and drinking coffee?” He rudely asked and glanced at me.“Not yet, boss, I still have twenty minutes before I...”
~SIERRA~“Yes, thank you for picking up my call. There’s a number I want to track, can you do that?”“Yes, I will give you my email address, and you can send the number there.”“The caller is unknown, I want to know the location where the phone call was made, even when the number is private.”
~SIERRA~“You don't need to know my name for now, but you will get it very soon. Did you get my welcome message? Are you ready to play?”“What do you want?” I gathered the courage to ask, I didn't want to sound like I was intimidated.“Wow, this is going to be so much fun. I love your courage,” he said. I stood up from the sofa.“Listen, I don't know who you are, but it's crazy of you to think I'll be scared of you. Stop throwing empty threats and leave me alone because this is not funny anymore.” I don't know where I got the courage to say this, but I was fed up. I was not going to live in fear.“Watch your tongue, darling, if I were you, I would lower my voice for my children's sake, their lives could be endangered,” he threatened and started laughing. I didn't respond, as my heart started beating. If this person knew that I had kids, then it was easy to use that against me.“That's what I thought. Talk to you soon, beautiful.”“Who—what do you want? Is it money? Just say it, please
