“How do you feel right now?” Emma asked me. I winced softly on the comfortable bed. It was a four poster bed and looked so elegant with patterned designs on the bedsheets. It was alluring and matched with the some sort of weird patterns on the curtains. I wouldn't lie. It was a lovely design. I knew Mason to always bring out the best of artwork in all his residence. I smiled facing Emma. “Am hanging in there with the pain.” The pain had long subsided after Emma applied a heating balm on my back. I knew she wasn't an expert in the field but I could only trust my truth with her as only she knew and no one else. “You know I was very shocked when your husband called me to have your broken spine checked on. But then I wondered what was the reason and... I think I know the reason.” Emma folded her hands tightly shoving her fingers past her upper arms as they rested against her chest. She cocked an eyebrow. She eyed me suspiciously.I licked my lips trying to avoid her suspicious stare do

The rain wasn't stopping. My heart was beating so fast with worry. I was loosing it and out of my mind seeing the storm outside and all the havoc it was causing outside. I had tried Mason's number through the land-line but couldn't get through. It stopped working after the reception was cut off by the bad weather. Now I was sick with worry and the storm outside wasn't making me feel at ease. I tried Diana's number but she was clueless about Mason's whereabouts. He hadn't called her in hours and I knew no one else to call or talk to. I had none of his friends' contacts. He was pretty upset when he left and I knew he didn't always think straight when he was upset. I hoped he wasn't found drinking at some bar. I hiccuped getting seriously worried for him. I was pacing back and forth in the living area. I left my half eaten toasts with ice cream on the kitchen island. I had no appetite but worry filling my stomach. I held my chest trying to calm myself down. My breathing was becoming to

I fluttered my eyelids before the ceiling came into view. I blinked a few times and immediately felt my body tight. I frowned noticing the medium chandelier in the middle of the ceiling. I recognized it easily. I was in one of the guestrooms. I scanned my eyes to my left to finally take it all in. I was in my mansion by the beach.How did I get here? Last I recalled I was tumbling inside my car while it turned over on the road. I lay on the bed feeling a bit lighter headed before I picked a familiar voice. It was her?!I looked ahead of me and found a figure by the end of the bed. It was her. Her hair was covering her face and she seemed like she was whispering. This didn't make sense. I thought the worst had happened to me and had already signed to my fate. I was taught to embrace death when it was near and I did just that. And now I was back in my home. I still heard Sierra whispering something and couldn't really pick out what she was talking about. But it sounded like she was tal

Even after hours Sierra wasn't doing okay. She still trembled and her hands were constantly shaking. She had full sweats all beaded around her forehead and chest. She hiccuped often and her eyes went pale from being widened for so long. “...I...killed him?...” I held her close kissing her temples while trying to comfort her. She laid her head against my chest and kept on shooking her head all the time while tears dared to spill from her eyes. My body tensed as well seeing her almost about to break down and have a panic attack. I hissed slightly while trying to move and also not wanting to tear my skin more by stretching the bandage on my abdomen. I had called my doctor immediately a few hours ago and gave him my location of my home by the beach side. While I was getting treated urgently my eyes didn't leave Sierra's side. She was shaking like a leaf deprived of both sunlight and rainfall. My heart clenched hard against my chest wishing she didn't have to hold that gun and yet again

I turned to my left checking if the yellow dress was holding up perfectly against my body. I stood in front of the mirror and couldn't help admire the stunning dress. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in the wardrobe of Mason's walk-in closet.The dress was beautiful and stunning. I knew the brand and it was among the latest collections just as Mason said. I didn't know why my smile didn't fade. The thought of going out to dinner with Mason was making me feel all flustered. I was going nuts right now. No matter how hard I tried not to see this as something to smile about, I just couldn't help myself but feel this was a small stepping stone from his part. I checked myself once again and liked how the yellow dress fitted and hugged my body perfectly. My curves were shown being hugged well and my hair was moved to one side with a bit of volume I added. I wore silver heels with a small shining necklace around my neck. I applied little makeup and highlighted around my cheekbones.
