Dark Obsession 51. Delight
~ COLTON ~It was a Friday night and Colton couldn’t wait to get out of his office in Columbia. Sierra had no classes on Friday, so it was pretty useless for him to be there, except he still had to go because it was his job now.Time was passing by so slow and Colton kept checking his watch. It was February 28th today, which meant it was his birthday. Colton didn’t care too much about that because he pretty much stopped celebrating his birthday since his mother’s death. His mom passed away a day before his eleventh birthday. Ever since then, Colton thought his birthday was cursed.So, instead of going out and partying, Colton planned for a more casual night tonight. He was going to have dinner with Sierra at the apartment. Her dad was out of town on business, so she was able to sneak out, telling him that she was sleeping over at her cousin’s place. Colton let out the biggest sigh of relief when he could finally leave the office. No one even knew that it was his birthday because he m
Dark Obsession 52. Bodyguard
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Hey, daddy? Can I talk to you for a sec?” Sierra said sweetly as she knocked on her father’s office door. “I brought you breakfast,”Henri looked up from his desk and Sierra flashed him a big smile, she was holding a tray full of pancakes and fruits. It was a Sunday morning, so Henri should be at his most relaxed hour. He was reading a newspaper and drinking hot coffee, which meant that he was in a good mood. Sierra had been watching his mood for the past two days, waiting for the perfect time to ask.“Sure. Come in, sit down, sweetie,” Henri gestured for the seat in front of him. “What’s up?”Sierra came right in and placed the tray of food on the desk. She even made the whipped cream on top of the pancakes to be shaped into a heart.“Well, I just wanna talk to you a little, see how you’re doing…” she said, still smiling that big smile.This was Sierra’s tactic every time she wanted to ask something from her dad. She would act very sw
Dark Obsession 53. Trending
~ COLTON ~“Yo, Colt,” Jackson said as he barged into Colton’s room, holding onto a brown envelope. “We got the file on Raphael Rothschild, just like you ask,”Jackson was followed shortly after by Levi. Meanwhile, Colton was standing in front of the mirror with an all black suit and tie, the same ones that most bodyguards would wear. It was Friday night and he was dressed for the part. “Took you guys long enough,” Colton said as he received the file from Jackson. “It ain’t easy, he kept himself clean,” Jackson said as he went over to the wet bar, pouring himself a glass of drink.“We can’t find much except for his connection with the Russian mob, but you can read through it, if you want,” Levi added, referring to the file.Colton looked through the file and scoffed. His cousins were investigating Raphael for a while now under his command, but the things they found were subliminal. It seemed that Raphael Rothschild was better at covering his tracks more than Colton thought. “This c
Dark Obsession 54. Jealousy
~ SIERRA ~“Well, well, well, look who we have here,”Suddenly, in the middle of them dancing, Sierra heard a voice and Raphael stopped moving. She turned around to find a man with platinum blonde hair, similar to Raphael. They even looked alike, except he was older and he looked very familiar.“Dan, you made it,” Raphael smiled and opened his arms, hugging his brother.Sierra then remembered who that guy was. He was Daniel Rothschild, Raphael’s older brother who was also a movie star. Sierra had watched some of his movies. He was in that romantic comedy with Emma Stone a few years back.“Of course, I won’t miss my little brother’s birthday,” Daniel laughed and patted Raphael’s shoulder. Then he turned to Sierra and said, “And who is this?”“Dan, this is Sierra Ascott,” Raphael introduced her.“Oh, Sierra. That’s right. Raphael’s told me so much about you,” Dan smiled and gave out his hand. “My name’s Daniel. I’m Raphael’s older brother. Well, one of his older brothers,”“It’s very ni
Dark Obsession 55. Suspicious
~ COLTON ~Colton was frantic. He knew Sierra must be inside that room. He tried calling and doing everything he could, but there wasn’t even any ringing. Desperately, he even used the ‘find my phone’ feature. It could only tell him that she was inside the hotel, but that was it. Colton realized he needed to find a way into that room without using the front door. Slipping through the sea of people, he headed for a window adjacent to that room. Swiftly and skillfully, he climbed out of the window and started scaling the walls like a real life Spiderman. Yes, he could fall and die at any moment. Did he care? Not so much.Colton only had one goal in mind and that was to make sure Sierra was okay. He kept replaying the image in his head of when she was harassed by those stupid frat guys at the party. They got her drunk, roofied her, and they were about to rape her. He remembered seeing their disgusting hands on her body and it made his blood boil. Sierra was a good girl with a pure hea
Dark Obsession 56. Freedom
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Spring Break, here we come!”Rosie was clapping her hands in excitement as she sat comfortably in her first class seat. Sierra was sitting next to her and their bodyguards were in the cabin behind them. Sierra fastened her seatbelt and sat back. In just seven and a half hours, they would arrive in Paris, where Colton and Ethan were already waiting at the hotel.“Hello and welcome to Air France, can I get you something to drink, miss?” the stewardess said to Rosie and Sierra.“I’ll have a glass of champagne, thanks,” Rosie chimed and Sierra shot her a glare.Champagne at four in the afternoon?“What? It’s a special occasion,” Rosie glared back at Sierra.“What special occasion?”“We’re celebrating your freedom, duh!” Rosie laughed and waved her hand carelessly in the air. “Come on, Si. Live a little,”Sierra couldn’t help but smile. Finally, after all those years of living inside the rules, this was the first time she was doing something
Dark Obsession 57. Amour
~ SIERRA ~Love was in the air for Sierra, Colton, Rosie, and Ethan. For an entire week long, the two couples enjoyed unparalleled romantic bliss. So much so that Ethan and Rosie started talking about eloping. It first started with just an idea. It was their last day in Paris and the four of them were enjoying a nice picnic at Luxembourg Gardens, sitting on the green grass drinking wine and eating macaroons-– when all of a sudden, Rosie said something crazy. “I think I’m in love with you, Ethan. Like, really in love,”Ethan kept his gaze on Rosie as Sierra and Colton watched them.“Me too, I love you too, Rosalyn Ann Waldorf,” he said.The lovebirds were definitely drunk on wine, but also on Paris. There was something in the air in that city. T. S. Eliot wasn’t kidding when he said, “the chief danger about Paris is that it's such a strong stimulant.”Ethan and Rosie were staring into each other’s eyes for a moment until suddenly, Rosie said, “Let’s just get married right now,”“Righ
Dark Obsession 58. Betrayal
~ SIERRA ~“Maybe we should do it together?” Colton asked for the millionth time that day. Colton and Sierra were standing on the balcony of his hotel room. It was the morning when they were supposed to leave Paris. All her bags were packed and the French actresses were relieved of their duty. Meanwhile, Ethan and Rosie were still busy enjoying their ‘honeymoon’. They stayed in their room all night and they didn’t come out at all, not even for breakfast.“No,” Sierra shook her head firmly. “I appreciate you wanting to do this with me, but this is something I have to do on my own,”“But what if he locks you up again?” he argued.“Then I’ll sneak out, it’s no problem,” she shrugged. “It’s not like we haven’t been doing that anyway,”Colton wanted to be with Sierra when she told her dad the news, but Sierra thought it wouldn’t be a good idea. She didn’t know how her dad would react and having Colton in the room might complicate things further. After failing to convince her several times

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE YEARS LATER - - - - -The grand hall of Columbia University buzzed with excitement and anticipation as the graduating class of 2020 gathered in a sea of caps and gowns. Sierra found herself among them, surrounded by the familiar faces of friends and classmates. The air was charged with a mix of emotions, and Sierra can't help but feel a surge of sentimentality as she reflected on the journey that brought her to this moment.Wow. I can’t believe I’m really here, she thinks to herself.The journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Sierra thought back to the late-night study sessions, the sacrifices made to balance parenthood and academia, and the unwavering support of her amazing husband. As she sat, waiting for the commencement ceremony to begin, her mind replayed the moments that defined the past few years.It’s nothing short of a miracle, really. From the first time she met Colton at her birthday party, to the time he took her on “magic carpet ride
Dark Obsession 96. Moon
~ COLTON ~Colton had already decided that one of the best things about being married to Sierra was watching her walk around in just her underwear.It was early evening on the last day of their honeymoon. They had spent most of the day at the beach and, after they had both showered, they had set about starting to pack their suitcases ready for the journey home. Colton was lying on the bed, having sorted and packed most of his clothes. Sierra had showered after him but had only partially dressed. She was padding around their bedroom ferrying clothes back and forth to the suitcase wearing only a rather cute set of matching light pink bra and panties.With that job done, Sierra went to put on a dress ready for dinner."Damn,” Colton muttered.“What?” she asked.“You’re just so gorgeous, princess," Colton said, shaking his head from side to side. “Oh, stop,” Sierra blushed and rolled her eyes."I’m telling you, all the guys in the restaurant -- when you wore that dress the other day, the
Dark Obsession 95. Honey
~ SIERRA ~The wedding was one crazy blur of a moment. It was something like a movie. Or a dream. Sierra felt like she was being whisked away from one place to the next. There was no time to stop, the momentum just kept going. Right after the ceremony was over, Colton had a helicopter prepared on the rooftop of the Plaza Hotel. Still wearing her wedding dress, Sierra got into the helicopter and they flew to the bright, blue sky.“It’s only for the weekend,” Colton said to her. “Just you and me,”Sierra had no idea where they were going, and she didn’t bother asking. Maybe it was the champagne in her veins or just the complete reckless abandon she felt whenever she was with Colton, but she was down for any kind of surprise with him.The next thing she remembered, Sierra woke up, unclear at first about where she was. But then she remembered...the huge bed, the smart room, it felt like a holiday resort, and it must be... The Hamptons. Yes. She was the brand new Mrs. Rhodes on her honeym

~ SIERRA ~- - - - - THREE MONTHS LATER - - - - -Summer was coming to an end and the weather was getting cooler in New York City. Sierra walked out of the Columbia campus library with her two friends, Anna and Jess, from the American Lit class. They had books piled up in their hands, making it hard for them to walk down the steps.“Thank God it’s finally Friday! I’m so done with writing for now,” Anna said.“I know. I can’t wait to put these down and go to McSorley's for drinks,” Jess replied.“Are you coming with us, Sierra?” Anna asked.“Oh, I’d love to, but I gotta go check on my baby,” Sierra flashed them a sorry smile. “Dang,” Jess muttered. “She’s the best writer in our class and she’s a mom. What can’t she do?”Sierra let out a laugh and shook her head.“I’ll join the next one. Enjoy your night, you guys,”Sierra waved one hand goodbye while using the other hand to keep all her books together. The school session was in full swing and work was starting to pile up. Luckily for
Dark Obsession 93. Sunshine
~ COLTON ~Colton was smiling from ear to ear. How could he not? He was looking at his beautiful fiancee and the healthy baby boy they have. Sierra was holding baby Seb in her arms, rocking him back and forth to get him to calm down. Baby Seb had stopped crying and he was now giggling at the funny faces Sierra was making. Colton couldn’t drop his smile as he leaned his head against the doorway to the nursery. Nothing in the world could bring him this much joy and feelings. He was the luckiest man in the world, and he never wanted to take this moment for granted.“I think he’s bored, he just wants to play,” Sierra commented, studying the look on her baby’s face.Colton could stand here and watch her play with baby Seb all day. Sierra made such a great mother. She had that motherly instinct. She knew exactly just what the baby wanted by looking at it. “Maybe we can take him to the beach?” Colton suggested.“That sounds fun,” Sierra nodded her head eagerly. “Wouldn’t that be fun, Seb?”
Dark Obsession 92. Summer
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - ONE MONTH LATER - - - - -“Attention everyone!” Colton said as he clinked his champagne glass with the knife. He was standing in the middle of the long table and Sierra was seated next to him. All around them were beautiful flower arrangements, candles, and a gorgeous feast. They were enjoying a wonderful birthday lunch for Sierra in Colton’s summer home in the Hamptons. All of their closest friends and family were in attendance, including Henri, baby Sebastian, Rosie, Ethan, Levi, Jackson, and of course, Winnie.“I just wanna raise a toast to my beautiful fiancee on her birthday today,” Colton said as he turned to Sierra. Everyone’s eyes were on them and they were ooh-ing and aah-ing. “Baby girl, you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I don’t know if any of you know this, but Sierra and I first met on her birthday two years ago. Thank you for falling out of that window and letting me catch you,” Sierra let out a laugh and everyone else did too. “I lo
Dark Obsession 91. Homecoming
~ SIERRA ~- - - - - TWO WEEKS LATER - - - - -“Breaking news! Last night, in a surprising turn of events, members of the Rothschild family, Raphael Rothschild and his father, Nathanael Rothschild, one of the wealthiest and most prominent families in New York City, were arrested by the CIA in relation to a shooting incident in France…”Sierra was sitting on the couch in Colton’s penthouse apartment when she saw the news on the TV. Baby Sebastian was asleep in her arms and she was rocking him back and forth slowly. She reached for the remote and raised the volume up, but not too much because she didn’t want to wake the baby up.“The CIA was first tipped off by the French National Police when a shooting occurred in the outskirts of Paris several weeks ago. In the shooting, Raphael Rothschild, the youngest son of the Rothschild family was injured, along with twenty other men of Russian origin. At first, the French police arrested Henri Ascott, another prominent man of New York City’s eli
Dark Obsession 90. Venerable
~ SIERRA ~Dark. There was nothing but darkness for miles. Sierra couldn’t see anything in front of her. The last thing she remembered was seeing Raphael holding a gun to Colton's back and she jumped as fast as she could. The loud piercing sound of the gun cut through the air and that was it. Everything turned dark after that. Sierra didn’t know how long she was out for. Sometimes she’d see flashes of light. She could also see the faces of people leaning in front of her. First, it was Colton, but then there were people that she didn’t know. Seeing that they were wearing masks and uniforms, maybe they were nurses or doctors. They were also speaking in French. She didn't know what they were saying, but they looked worried, so she got worried too."Colton..." she kept calling for him. "The baby..."Colton and the baby were the only things in her mind. Sierra didn't even care that she was bleeding out, lying on an operating table. She kept calling for his name over and over, until the nu
Dark Obsession 89. Wake
~ COLTON ~The police siren rang loudly in the background as Colton speeded away. Sitting in the passenger seat, Sierra was groaning and writhing in pain, and blood kept dripping from the side of her stomach. Damon glanced at her every chance he could, and every time he saw the blood pooling on the seat and dripping to the floor, he felt sick to his stomach.“Col…” Sierra tried to speak, but she was too weak.“Yes, princess, I’m right here,” he shakily put a hand on her, while still trying to focus on the road. “Co…”“Ssh, don’t speak, it’s okay,” he cooed. “You’ll be alright, I promise,”Colton’s eyes were welling up with tears. His voice cracked as he spoke. He couldn’t bear looking at her like this, writhing in blood and pain. And not just that, he didn’t even want to think about the baby. If something happened to her or to the baby, he wouldn’t know how to live with himself.Luckily for Colton, after a short drive down the hill, he saw a small hospital with an ER sign. Using all
