~SIERRA~
“Mommy, please get up!” I was half asleep so I could hear my triplets call me, but I was too tired.
I pulled the blanket over my body. “Two more minutes, please,” I said. I've never overslept, I was always the first to wake up. I didn't sleep at all last night. I was up talking to the tracker, who was trying to get something but failed. The only thing left now was for me to go and see that prisoner. I don't care what the officers have to do, they have to make him talk.
“Kids, your mommy is too tired, let’s go have breakfast. I made cereal, your favorite?” Lana said.
~SIERRA~“Cassie, hi, what are you doing here?” I cleared my throat and pretended like I wasn't trying to leave a minute ago.“Excuse me?”“I do not mean to sound rude, but you don't work here, and even if you did, don't you think it's too early for you to be here?”
~SIERRA~“No, I shouldn't jump to any conclusions.“ I calmed myself down. It was obvious now that my grandmother might be behind those messages since she lived with me, so it could be easy to send them, but why? Why would she do it? “Did she attack herself? Maybe she did it to trap me here.” I slightly pulled my hair. I was confused.“Ms. Reid, is everything okay?” Lana poked her head out of the car and asked, which shook me out of my thoughts."Detective, expect us, I want to talk to him,” I told him, and when he agreed, I ended the call. I got inside the car and gave my driver the prison address. My driver started th
~SIERRA~I calmed myself and said, “So you do know something, and you chose to hide it from me?”“It is for a good reason, please sit down,” she said, and I shook my head.“I'm fine standing, now tell me, why have you been sending me those messages?” I asked and walked towards her, she was still in her wheelchair. “Is your leg even hurt, or was this part of your game?” I bent and purposely touched her lap, a
~SIERRA~I thought for a second about the information they had found: “What information?” I asked.“I'm sorry, we can't tell you anything until we are sure.”“I won't let you take my grandmother, she's still under medical care, and this can cause stress and might delay her recovery,” I said. I was still mad at her, but that didn't mean I stopped caring for her; she was my grandmother.“Sierra, it is okay, it's just questioning, if I don't go, they might think I'm hiding something,” Nana said, and I shook my he
~DAMIAN~I didn't say anything because I knew if I did, I would end up blurting nonsense. "Yes, she's my fiance. I know how lucky, right? Well, I can only thank God for her,” the man said, and my hands formed into fists. Why was he rubbing this in my face? Didn't he know that Sierra was my ex-wife?“Babe, we should go,” Sierra said to him, but her eyes were on me."No, it's fine, I came straight from the airport because I missed you. You can stay, and I'll go.”“No, let's go now.” Sierra sidestepped him and dragged him out by his hand. When the door closed, I punched the desk.“Ouch!” I screamed, as my fist was in pain.“Mr. Winters,” Jane ran to my side, I had forgotten that she was here with me. “What are you doing?” she asked, blowing on my hand, but I just looked away. How could Sierra be engaged? When I heard of it at first, I thought it was a lie, but after seeing her kiss him, I couldn't doubt it. They were in love, Sierra loved him, and the way he lovingly looked at her showe
~DAMIAN~There was no doubt that she was my child, it was possible—maybe Sierra never got an abortion as I requested.“Damian, I'm talking to you, and what?”“I don't have time.” I stood up.“Then you should make time,” she told me as I walked out. Cassie was stubborn and getting on my nerves. “I thought it was Sierra all this time, are you not guilty of cheating on me? I mean, you were guilty of talking to me when you were with Sierra but not me?”"Cassie, I'm not in the mood,” I said as I walked down the stairs.“You have to get in the mood,” she said and held my arm, and I forcefully released my arm. I don't know how it happened, because now Cassie was rolling down the stairs.“CASSIE!” I screamed and ran to save her, but it was already late as she was on the floor crying in pain.“Ah!”I kneeled and said, “Cassie, Cassie, can you hear me?” She was conscious but whimpering in pain.“My baby!” she said, and her hands reached for her belly.“Oh my God, the baby!” I panicked, picked h
~DAMIAN~I took steps towards her. “You knew that Sierra has a child?”"Damian, lower your voice, you will wake Cassie up,” she said, but that was just to try and change the topic.“You knew all this while and kept it from me?” I sneered.“Calm down, I didn't–I didn't know she had a child. Even if she did, you asked her to get an abortion, why do you care?”“That was before.” I calmed myself and scrat
~DAMIAN~Ava noticed my presence, and her eyes widened in fear, as if hiding something.“D-Damain, w-what are you doing here?” She stuttered, and I didn't respond, as I myself was in shock. The girl blinked and smiled. I loved her smile, it was like seeing Sierra smile–years when I would come from work and find by the door smiling but I would only ignore her and push my office bag in her hands.“Aunt, you have a patient,” the
