~SIERRA~
When we arrived at the bar, Ethan parked, and we got out of the car and walked in.
I was not a bar person, but with the recent stress and the threats, I needed to unwind.
“We are having fun tonight,” Lily whispered in my ear, and I faked a smile as I looked around. There was no doubt the bar was for classy people, everything was expensive, and the watches, diamond earrings, and necklaces the people wore were proof of that.
~SIERRA~I closed my eyes as the images of my kids played in my head. They only had me, I knew Gilbert was there, but they were too young to become orphans.‘Maybe I should tell Damian,’ I thought, opening my eyes. I reached for my phone intending to call Damian, he was the father. I know he didn't want anything to do with them, but if I was going to die, then I had to tell them.As I struggled to take my phone from the table, some
~SIERRA~“What are you saying, Lily? I mean, Damian is anything but planning an attack, no, it must be a mix-up.”“Oh Sierra, I know Damian well, and I know he's capable of this. I'm going to your house now, I'll see you there,” she said, ending the call. I stood frozen as I thought of what she told me. How could Damian plan this, and for what possible reasons? I was still standing by the exit door thinking when I heard my driver's voice.
~SIERRA~I carefully looked at the man's tattooed facial features.“If you would like to see the man, I can arrange it for you, otherwise, I'll be going there tomorrow to try and get something out of him.”"Yes, I would like to see him,” I said."Alright, I will arrange
~SIERRA~ I turned to confirm, and it was him, Damian, but what was he doing here? Because, remembering our years together, Damian never did yoga. What changed? I couldn't let him be my partner, just yesterday he saved me, and today again he wants to do something nice for me. No, I didn't want to end up falling for him again. I turned to the coach and said, "No, it's fine, I can manage. I have done yoga since I was a child, and…” “I tell you, Ms. Reid, this is a great opportunity for you because we are not only doing exercises, we are having a life session with the best yoga coach. She will share lifetime tips for yoga lovers, and I'm sure you love yoga,” the coach said. A live session with a coach sounded tempting, but I couldn't let that bring me close to Damian. Yes, he saved me, but that
~DAMIAN~When I got up and saw that Sierra was not there, I panicked and rushed downstairs. I was relieved to hear from the receptionist that Sierra had left, I thought she was kidnapped. I almost paid the hotel bill, but the receptionist informed me that Sierra had already paid. I was so angry because I never liked her to pay for anything.Yesterday was hard for her, so I knew she might be at a yoga studio because, in the years of our marriage, she always ran to yoga whenever I made her angry, so I took my car and drove straight to a yoga studio which was close to her house. After she refused my help and promised to have breakfast with me, I drove to my cousin's house, Ava, to avoid Cassie. I didn't want to deal with Cassie so early. I spent my whole day w
~DAMIAN~“Answer me, Damian, why did you call her?” I rubbed my forehead, as I didn't know how to answer her.“Can we not do this, please?”“No, let's do this now. Why did you call her?”“Listen, I was a bit drunk and...” I didn't want to hurt her because the doctor said stress was not good for her.“And she was the person you could think of?”
~SIERRA~I was in my office, getting some work done. I was thankful to Nana as she helped me answer the triplets, otherwise, I could still be stuck with them as they waited for their answer.How was I supposed to tell them their father wanted nothing to do with them? He asked me to abort them. Damian was and will never be ready to be their father. That's why he will never find out about them. I placed my pencil on the table counter and stood up as I thought of that caller following my kids to school, but the detective said they would be okay since skilled guards would be by their side.I took my ph
~SIERRA~“He what? And why didn't you tell me about this?” I asked and took steps towards them.“We were not sure, but now we are because we found him with your photo,” he said, and he gave me a picture. It was of me when I was still in school. I got rid of all those pictures; how did he get ahold of this?“Who sent you?” I turned to the man, his head was facing the floor as if he had no strength.
