Xavier carried Sierra back to her room upon her insistence. He wanted to take her to his room and tuck her away from everyone and everything that might hurt her. The unfamiliar feeling which he felt when he saw her drowning into the sea is something which he never felt before and which he doesn't want to feel again. It's so intense and made him feel on edge. But she insisted that she wanted to go to her room. And the way he is feeling now, he wanted to do anything she asks of him. "Sit here, let me check if you are hurt anywhere" he said after he made her sit on a chair. He carefully checked her arms, legs, face, and her torso for any visible injuries. He noticed that her abdomen area is red. He gathered that she must have hit her stomach when she fell. "I will apply ice here for you. And then we can take a shower" he told her, and did just that. He fed her after that. All the while Sierra is quiet. He is taking care of her so much, that her nostrils tingle with suppressed emotio
"I need an explanation Xavier. I am your fiance. We are going to get engaged in three days. But you are taking care of another woman right in front of my eyes. What does this mean?" Nancy demanded Xavier after they reached his mansion in the Bahamas. She was escorted to the east wing along with Douglas and their friends. While Claire, Adam and Sierra were arranged to stay in the main house. Even if she ignores all this, the fact that he carried Sierra in his arms from his Yacht, right in front of everyone feels like an insult to her. Xavier gave Nancy a cold look from where he was sitting behind his desk in his study in his mansion. Nancy is just standing inside his study, and didn't dare to step further inside the room is speaking volumes about the kind of relationship they share. The message is clear, she is not welcome in his private space. "You should go and read our agreement which you signed before we decided to get engaged. If your memory is not clear, then let me refresh
Xavier was not at all surprised when a very shocked Carlos all but stormed into his study. He was already expecting it. "What the hell man? Your secret girl is Sierra?" Carlos demanded with frustration and confusion. Xavier momentarily took his attention off of his laptop and looked at Carlos. "What is this all about? Her identity was never a secret. You never asked, and I didn't feel like broadcasting my personal information" he replied camly. Carlos is not as calm. He was imagining so many other women on that Yacht, but not Sierra. "Xavier, there is a crazy actress ready to do anything to be your girlfriend. So many young girls will jump with joy if you just give them a passing glance. So many women are dying to be with you. And let's not forget Nancy. Out of so many women whom you could choose from, you happened to go and pick one woman who cannot handle you? Sierra is innocent. Apart from Claire, Adam and her deceased mother, she never used to speak with anyone else if she
"I am so sorry Claire. I am the worst friend ever. I let you down" Sierra whispered sadly, feeling guilty. Claire smiled softly. Despite the circumstances, it's not bad to fall in love. It never is. Sierra found someone in not so ideal circumstances. Claire slowly realised that Sierra was smiling more as the days passed by. Claire never thought that it was because of her uncle. "Do you remember how we met in high school?" Claire reminded Sierra, ignoring her apology for the time being. Sierra looked at Claire with a puzzled expression. Claire was a mess after her mother left and she lost her father too. Her uncle tried his best to raise her, but he was struggling too. With their failing family business and his own demons. Claire turned into an introvert who was too scared to speak with anyone. She was too skittish, until she met Sierra who was full of life back then. "It was six long years ago. I was a nerd and an introvert back then whom everyone ignored. I was crying a
Sierra is feeling restless. As the day progressed and she didn't get to see Xavier since that morning, her restlessness started to build gradually. She doesn't know why she is feeling like this. In these last two weeks, there was never a single day where she didn't wake up with him still in bed with her. And he has a habit of kissing her throughout the day. He loves kissing her. But today, she didn't even get to see him, not even once. And that should make her feel better, thinking that he is losing intrest in her. But strangely that's not how she is feeling. There is a strange ache in her chest and this strong longing for him. She wants him to hold her close and assure her that he would fix everything. But the strangest thing is, she doesn't know what she wants him to fix. She is not his girlfriend and they don't love eachother. He is soon to get engaged to Nancy. Sierra doesn't know where she stands with Xavier and their relationship was set to doom from the beginning. All of th
She looked at him with so many thoughts and emotions running in her mind. She never thought about their relationship. All she ever insisted was that for him to stop this, whatever it is. She never dared to think about a future with him, because she always envisioned his future with Nancy. But now, when he is forcing her to think about him, she realised that she likes him. Somewhere these past days, she started to like him. He is caring and very protective. That must be the reason why she is finding it hard to leave him. Because she knows she would miss him dearly. "You are handsome, who wouldn't like you Xavier? It will be a lie if I tell you that I don't" she confessed softly. That made his heart beat faster and harder. He liked her answer. He leaned in and touched her forehead with his. His day was long and exhausting. He had meetings lined up one after another. As he was not available these past couple of weeks, so many important decisions were stalled. And he had to deal with t
The next morning, Sierra woke up feeling warm and safe. A smile appeared on her lips. She can feel her body tangled with his. Unlike the other morning where she woke up alone, this time, she woke up to the familiar and comforting feeling of his arms wrapped around her like a vise. But she noticed a certain tension in his body, which puzzled her. "What happened? Why are you stressed?" she asked with her sleep laced voice. He sighed heavily at her question. "Good morning " he greeted her Instead of answering her question. She lifted her head and looked at him curiously. No one can tell that he is stressed by looking at him. His features are calm and composed, with his usual coldness trying to seep into his gaze. But she can feel how stiff his body is underneath her body. "Good morning " she greeted back, but still looked at him, trying to figure out who pissed him off so early in the morning. Xavier looked away from her, avoiding her gaze. Today is the day where everyone will start
That morning, Nancy looked stressed when she went to receive her parents from the entrance of the main house. Her smile looked forced and even Douglas looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. 'Sis, this is wrong. Stop this engagement' was his words of request to his sister just before his parents arrived at the Xavier's Bahamas mansion.But Nancy ignored him and forced him to accompany her to receive their parents."Dad, mom, it's so good to see you both" Nancy said with practiced ease.Daisy looked uncomfortable, while Noel was all smiles.Carlos came to receive them on behalf of Xavier. Based on how abruptly Xavier disconnected the call, Carlos understood that Xavier is not going to grace the Thomas family with his presence. So to maintain niceties, Carlos came Instead. He made sure Claire is not around."Nancy, Douglas, this mansion is ready to host my daughter's engagement" Noel announced and laughed boisterously.Nancy smiled, but no one else did. They all stood there as i

"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.
