"Baby girl" Xavier gathered Sierra into his arms, like the precious little girl that she is. She just came back from a near death experience, yet she is worried about him. "Xavier" she whispered. Her voice is barely audible. She looked weak and pale. "I am here" he assured her. She tried to hug him back, trying to make sure that she is not dreaming and he is fine, but she couldn't gather enough strength to even lift her arms. "That man, In the party..." she wanted to ask who that man was who tried to hurt Xavier. But he stopped her. "Shhh.. don't worry about all that. He is already dead. He killed himself" he assured her. He doesn't want her to worry about anything. Not now, not ever. He promised himself to deal with his enemies and never let this kind of a situation repeat again. She relaxed when she heard that. She wanted to ask why he tried to kill Xavier. But she started to drift in and out of conscience, because of how weak she is. She went slack in his arms, losing her
In the reputed hospital where Nancy was working as a Psychologist, coincidentally, Sierra was also admitted there. In her cabin, Nancy was seen checking some patient files. There is a huge stack of them lying haphazardly on her desk. She discarded one of the files in the pile near her feet and picked up another file from her desk. When she opened the file, a slow smirk spread across her face. "Sierra Leone" She read the name out loud of the patient to whom the file belongs. Then she started to look into the details of why she was admitted there in the first place. When she saw Xavier beating the hell out of her father, she was confused as to what tipped him off. When she noticed Carlos in the hospital lobby that morning, she understood that something was off. So she stole the patient files of the past couple of days to see if she can find any one familiar. And she finally found who is affecting Xavier so much. "Not so surprisingly, it turned out to be Sierra. This damn witch,
In the hospital room, Sierra slowly regained her conscience. First, her ears registered the beeping of the machines. And then, the smell of the sterilizer tingled her nose. Slowly her eyes blinked open. Her gaze swept around the room until it landed on the man sitting beside her. He is lying face down on the bed beside her, holding one of her arms in his. Her lips stretched into a smile at the sight of him. She never got a chance to look at him while he was asleep until now. His sharp features softened a little, and he looked even more handsome. She lifted her other arm to caress his cheek. But the moment she touched his cheek, his eyes blinked open. "Baby girl" he sat up immediately and looked at her with relief and happiness. She gave him a small smile. She can feel a little discomfort in her shoulder. But the fact that Xavier is safe made her feel that it's all worth it. She still couldn't forget how Xavier came so close to getting hurt. 'It is because of me? Am I a Jinx
"How was your vacation?" Sierra asked Adam. He went on a world tour with Claire, she was expecting to hear exciting details about their vacation. When Claire barely called her, she thought that she was having some alone time with Adam, and so she didn't disturb them either. But little did she know that their vacation was a disaster from the beginning. "It was good" Adam replied vaguely. Sierra waited for him to elaborate, but he didn't. She looked at him, observing his evasive gaze. She understood that something is wrong. He would have been eating her ears off, sharing every single detail of their vacation by now. But that's not the case. He looked like he doesn't want to talk about it at all. "What happened? Is everything alright?" she asked softly. Adam wanted to share everything with her, because he cannot share it with anyone else. But she is just recovering from a very serious injury. He doesn't want to stress her more. "Except for worrying my organs out for you, every
"Ahhh.." Nancy cried out unnecessarily loudly and clutched her stomach. "You killed my baby. How can you kill my baby?" Nancy started crying while placing a hand over her womb. Sierra and Adam were stunned. Sierra is weak and is on the hospital bed herself. She doesn't have that much energy to push Nancy hard enough to kill her baby. She didn't even push that hard. She was just trying to stop Nancy from hitting her. "Nancy, stop this. I used to think so highly about you. But you turned out to be very nasty. Sierra didn't even push you that hard. Now get up and get out" Adam snapped at Nancy. But Nancy started to shed fake tears. "You cruel people, you killed my baby. You both killed my baby" she kept repeating the same thing. Both Adam and Sierra looked at each other, thinking that she is intentionally playing the victim here. Before they could react, Nancy dialled Derek's number. When he answered the call, she started crying. Derek on the other hand looked shocked. He ha
In the hospital, doctors tried to save Nancy's baby, but they failed. She had a heavy bleeding and lost her baby too. The doctors are Nancy's colleagues, and so are the nurses and the other staff. When her scandal came out, everyone started to keep their distance from Nancy, and the latter was always cooped up in her cabin, hiding away from everyone. But now, looking at how pitiful she looked after losing her baby, she gained tremendous sympathy from everyone around. So none of them are avoiding Nancy. Instead, they are visiting her and wishing her a speedy recovery. "Poor doctor Thomas, she lost her baby in a very brutal way. That patient in the VIP room caused all of this. A few of the nurses saw how doctor Thomas was pushed to the floor by that shameless woman" a few nurses were gossiping about Sierra. Everyone is thinking that Sierra is bad. "Oh dear, is that so? How can anyone be so heartless?" the other nurse gasped with shock. "Don't you guys know? It's this same woman wh
"Don't spread false rumours on Innocent people" Adam defended Sierra. But the nurse gave him a stink eye, and glared daggers at Sierra. She was intentionally rough when she was giving injections to Sierra. "Ahh" Sierra winced when the nurse did, not so gently stabbed the needle into Sierra's flesh. "Hey" Adam reprimanded the nurse, who threw the remaining medicines on the table beside the bed carelessly. "If you have a problem, then you can give her the meds by yourself" the nurse snapped angrily before walking out. Sierra was stunned, and so was Adam. "What is happening here? Why is she speaking as if I killed Nancy's baby. I didn't push her that hard, am I?" Sierra started to get a guilty feeling, thinking that she might have actually caused the death of an unborn child. Adam placed his palm on her shoulder, assuring her. "We both know that Nancy is intentionally trying to sabotage you. Don't let these people affect your conscience. Wait until Mr. Woods learns about this. H
In the hospital, Adam was seen outside Sierra's room speaking with Claire. "What do you mean by Nancy is twisting the situation and making Sierra the culprit? What exactly happened?" Claire demanded to know why her best friend sounded so off when she just spoke with her on the phone. Adam sighed heavily. He started telling Claire everything that happened from the moment Nancy came and everything that followed after. "Even the nurses are treated Si with disrespect. Their actions and behaviour started to make Si uncomfortable. Nancy is playing the victim card and blaming Si for something which she didn't do. I was there, Si just defended herself when Nancy tried to slap her. After that, Nancy started to create a scene" Adam shared worriedly. Claire became angry when she heard this. "Looks like Nancy is tired of living. She is bringing everything upon herself. My uncle will be furious. He is on his way to the hospital now" Claire said, showing that she is very angry with Nancy.
"Dad, dad" Renee bent her head while crying for Augustine who was lying in the pool of his own blood. The metallic scent inside the room is so thick, that it's suffocating. Janine was watching Renee with malice. "Dad" Renee's sobs didn't melt Janine's heart. Instead, her hunger for death only intensified. "What did you think of me Renee?" her voice made Renee jump with shock. Renee snapped her head and looked at Janine who had blood all over her hands. She was holding a bloody knife in her right hand, which was still dripping with blood. "How can you? He is your husband. You used to love him so much. Then what happened? Why did you kill him like this?" Renee demanded Janine with anger and pain. Janine sneered. "You both abandoned me and Maddy. You took their side and ruined my efforts to kill Xavier. If not for you and that dead man, i would have already killed Xavier and we could have gone back to the states once again. But no, you had to find out everything and your father had
The fact that Janine is alive but Noel is dead spread like fire. Noel is not just anyone. He is a famous politician. His death spiked multiple debates across the country. Hunt for Janine began, while Janine was hell bent on killing Sierra and Xavier. 'Who killed Noel Thomas?' 'Can it be Janine?' 'Where is Janine?' 'Why is after Mr. Woods?' Speculations started to float across the country. The story of why Janine started to hate the woods family so much and how she became responsible for Gawin's death along with his father's became a trending topic. Everyone started to feel sorry for Claire and started to hate Daisy for her poor choices. After finding out that she became a pawn for Janine and destroyed her own life, Daisy became depressed. Nancy was still shocked to learn that her father is dead. Douglas was shocked too. When everyone was reeling in the aftermath of Janine's destruction, the lady in question was plotting against her own family. This time she is targeting August
'Its true' 'Some one really dug up Mrs. Augustine's grave' 'How can anyone disrespect a dead person like this?' 'Is it really Mr. Woods and our President behind this?' 'If not, then why will that person tag them along with the pictures?' 'I still can't believe that they can do this' 'Why can't they let a dead person rest in peace?' As the pictures of the grave digging became viral, the media and the curious public rushed to the cemetery to see if it was true. When they saw an open grave of Janine, they started to suspect that it's indeed Xavier and Nathan who are somehow involved in this. Within minutes this news became viral. Every news channel started broadcasting the news live from the Cemetery. Pictures of Xavier, Nathan, Carlos and Adam were shown on the tv screen to build the hype along with Janine's picture. 'Mr. President, are you involved?' 'Is Mr. Woods involved?' News channels started using eye-catching tags like this to drag public interest and escalate scrutiny
Janine stealthily slipped inside Xavier's room where his mobile was ringing. She held the knife tightly with both her hands. She is ready to strike the moment she spotted Xavier. But when she scanned the room, she found no one. She strained her ears to hear any noise apart from the mobile ringing. But she couldn't hear anything. After the mobile stopped ringing, silence greeted her. 'Where are they? This is their room and his mobile is here. Why is he not answering his phone?' Janine thought angrily. She searched the room without bothering to keep quiet. She searched the entire house, but she found herself alone in the dark house. She was so angry, she wanted to light fire and burn the house down. But just then, she heard the unmistakable sound of Sirens wailing at a distance. 'He escaped and alerted the cops? How did he even find out about my plan?' she thought angrily. She escaped from the house through the kitchen door before the cops could catch her. On the other hand, Nath
"Nathan, I think my mom is still alive. Just now i felt like I saw someone who looked similar to my mom just outside Xavier's house" Renee anxiously explained to Nathan. But instead of believing her, Nathan frowned with disapproval. "Renee, I started to believe that you changed. If this is one of your tricks to stop Xavier and Sierra's wedding, then I suggest you stop this. Sierra gave you a chance. Don't ruin it by doing all these nasty things" he reprimanded her. Renee's eyes pooled with unshed tears at the harshness of his words. "I know I have done some things which i shouldn't have, which I regret. But Nathan, this time I am telling the truth. I swear on everything I hold dear. No, I swear on Xavier. I think my mom is still alive. We have to caution Xavier and Sierra, Please" she begged him. Nathan was taken aback when she swore on Xavier, whom Renee loves so much. He suddenly applied brakes on his vehicle and immediately took a 'U' turn. If what Renee said is true, th
Claire was not very happy about Renee, but Cathy decided to stay neutral. Nathan and Xavier were Renee's friends for years, so they forgave her when Sierra decided to give Renee a chance. "I will get going now. Please don't call me if I could be of any help during your wedding preparations" Renee offered. Sierra smiled. "Sure" she agreed. Claire is not ready to trust Renee just yet. She witnessed how vile and vicious Renee can be. So she doesn't want to forgive her so soon. She is feeling that Renee is just pretending to be nice. After Renee left, Claire couldn't hold back any longer. "Si, what are you doing? How can you forget everything she did to you? At her party, at the mall, in this home, she insulted you countless times. How can you just forgive her because she has mommy issues?" she demanded with displeasure. Sierra was quiet. Indeed Renee did all that. "Claire, you cannot label a person as bad based on their past deeds. What she did was wrong. And she is feeling gu
After two weeks, Slowly everyone started to forget about Janine. Augustine decided to take Renee to the states. Maddy passed away too, and her cremation was a close knit affair. Her grave was beside Janine's grave. Renee finally decided to apologise to Sierra before leaving for good. In Xavier's home, everyone was bristling with excitement for the impending wedding of Xavier and Sierra. "I love your wedding dress. It's so beautiful" Cathy said about Sierra's wedding dress which was delivered the previous day. Apart from the wedding dress, Sierra and the ladies don't know anything about the wedding preparations. Like Sierra wished, Xavier was handling everything and is ready to surprise her in a week when she is going to walk the aisle as his bride. "Yes, it is. I am eager to see how Xavier would react to it" Sierra said with a mischievous grin. Cathy giggled with mirth. "He would be thinking about peeling that off of you from the moment he sees you in that dress" she joked.
Janine was arrested and Augustine was cured. Xavier and the others were still reeling with shock regarding the bone chilling revelation of that night. Janine is the reason why Gawin lost his life, and so was his father. Now she was after Xavier and his unborn child over her misplaced anger. No one forced Maddy to commit suicide. It's Gawin's choice to choose who ever he wanted to marry. No one can fault him for not falling for Maddy the way she fell for him. After everything Janine did, going after Xavier's unborn child is the most horrific thing she did. "Xavier, i am extremely sorry" Renee apologised to Xavier with guilt. They were all still in the apartment where Renee and Augustine were forced to stay. Both of them gave an official statement to the cops about everything Janine did, much to Janine's anger. Janine was cursing them while she was escorted to the police vehicle. She was taken to jail and would be soon presented in court. Her sins would earn her a life sentence if not
"Who is there?" Janine called out loudly before pulling her gun out from underneath Maddy's bed. Both Renee and Augustine are panicking. They are tensed and worried about Xavier and the others. Outside the balcony, all the four men froze. "I am sorry" Nathan apologised sincerely. Xavier shook his head and patted Nathan on his shoulder. "It's ok, it's not your fault" he assured Nathan. Adam and Carlos peeked inside, and noticed that Janine has a gun and she is coming near the balcony. "She is coming, and she has a gun" Adam spoke with urgency. Everyone was tensed. "Nathan, you stay here with Adam. Me and Carlos will show ourselves. You wait for the right opportunity to take her by surprise" Xavier suggested and nodded at Carlos. Nathan held his hand to stop him. He is worried about Xavier. "I can go instead" he offered. Xavier gave him an assuring smile and patted his hand. "She will not be suspicious to see us, as we already visited their home this morning
