~SIERRA~“Damian, how—what are you doing here?”“That's not important, are you coming or must I come in?” He didn't sound like he was joking, and one thing I remember about Damian is that he never joked. “Your house is quite big and impressive, now should I come in or you…”“I'm coming, wait there,” I said and hung up. I couldn't let him come in, he might come across my kids, and I didn't want that. I ran out of the dining room and headed outside.
“Cassie, what are you doing here?” Damian asked her, and I cleared my throat because I was not going to argue with Cassie, not over Damian. “Excuse me? Is that all you're going to say, Damian? What am I doing here?” She looked at him. I didn't want them to cause a scandal, I didn't like unnecessary attention. “Sierra,” Damian said, taking my hands into his. I didn't understand what he was doing, so I didn't react. “As I was saying, I want you ba...” “Don't you dare say it!” Cassie yelled. Damian didn't look bothered, but I was. I had a reputation, and this could ruin it.
~DAMIAN~I dragged Cassie out of the restaurant because I didn't want us to argue in front of people.“You're hurting me,” she struggled, but I only tightened my grip. "Damian, if you don't let me go, I'll scream,” she threatened, and luckily we were already outside, knowing Cassie, I knew she was capable of that.“Why did you come here?” I asked as we reached my car. My eyes looked around with hopes of seeing Sierra, but I was disappointed as I didn't see her. I knew it was difficult to get to her again.“You left me in your b
~DAMIAN~“What do you mean, Bruce?”“I won't let you deny it, you love her, you...”“I don’t know Bruce, I’m as confused as you, but love is a strong word.” I didn’t want to seem desperate.
~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
~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~“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...”
“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.
