That next morning, Sierra found herself back at work. She agreed to make their relationship public, so Xavier insisted that she should come with him. And so she did. When he wanted to drop her off in her department, she refused claiming that she needed time to adjust with their new reality.

"Sierra, how have you been?" it was Ava who noticed her first. It's been a week since she last came to work, but it feels like it has been longer than that.

"Hey, I am fine. Thank you" Sierra replied softly.

She likes her team, but still she is not as close with them yet. She is taking her time.

Noah and Amber came along, while Oliver saluted from outside his cabin.

"Joshua informs us that you are not feeling well. That's why I keep telling you to take a break. But you are hell bent on breaking records rather than taking a much needed break" Noah teased her, prompting Amber and Ava to giggle with mirth.

"She definitely should take it easy. But I am afraid not today. Sierra, there is a proble

    In Augustine's home, Renee is seen picking a dress for her welcome back party from the rows and rows of dresses which are seen hanging on the hangers. Dresses from the most prestigious designers were brought in for her. "Miss, look at this piece. You will look absolutely stunning in this piece" the designer pulled out a blue colour dress for Renee. The dress is made from sheer fabric and looks good, but its length is too long. She wants to wear a short dress which compliments her body. "No" Renee refused. She moved forward, and a black dress caught her attention. This dress has golden highlights all over the fabric, making it look very unique. There is a cap on one of the shoulders, leaving the other one bare. It is stretchable and hugs her frame like a second skin. "This one" Renee pointed at the dress. She decided to try the dress and she looked surprised by the outcome. "Now, let's see how Xavier can resist me. Tomorrow will be the end of his relationship with that Sierra.

    "Si, what are you doing? Are you not supposed to stop the virus like the rest?" Joshua whispered urgently. He is leaning down his waist, so that he can whisper to her without being overheard by others. Sierra glanced at him sideways. Just for a split second. She doesn't have much time to spare him.. Because the time is running out and the virus is spreading faster than they could control. "That's what I am doing" she replied. She is very calm while the others are sweating bullets. Joshua frowned, not understanding where she is coming from. He is a software developer and technician himself. Still he couldn't understand what she was trying to do. "What? Si, but that doesn't look like you are doing it. People will be ready to blame you if this fails. They might accuse you saying that you slowed them down and did not offer any support at all" he tried to make her understand the gravity of the situation. He is worried that she will be made the scape goat. "Relax Joshua. It won't come

    "I think you should speak with your daughter. Her behaviour is disturbing. You know what would happen if anyone from the opposition party or the media gets to know about this. Unnecessarily Cathy will come into the lime light for all the wrong reasons. It's not a good reputation for a girl" Nathan told Dorothy. After the way Cathy kissed him in front of his guards without a care about her reputation, he started to get worried about her. If she does the same in front of anyone else, this issue will go out of the Presidential office and her reputation will be ruined. Dorothy sighed heavily. Over the years of their relationship, Nathan is now practically a family member. Even her husband respects Nathan for his dedication and hardwork. "I already tried speaking with her. But she is adamant. She is saying that she likes you. Neither me or my husband could talk her out of this. We are at a loss as to what to do with her" she shared with Nathan. He sighed heavily.

    "We don't have to go if you don't want to go" Xavier offered Sierra. After announcing his relationship with her the previous day, he looked happier than ever. He made it a point to pick up and drop her near her cubicle. He is escorting her to lunch and for snacks. He is fussing over her so much that Sierra is feeling overwhelmed by his undivided attention. Initially her entire team looked stunned to hear the news. It was awkward in the beginning. But Noah broke the ice, followed by Ava, Amber and at last Oliver. Joshua is still encouraging her, but she notices a subtle change in his behaviour towards her. He is maintaining respectable distance with her, while Noah seems to have a death wish. Things are not normal, at all. Everyone is looking at her with curiosity, as if she is a specimen in a museum. It took her every ounce of her courage not to run and hide from their gazes. "No, it's alright. It's just one bad incident. I cannot let that stop me and you from going out" she sp

    "I heard what happened in your engagement with Xavier. I felt so bad for you" Renee lied to Nancy, making it look like she is feeling bad for Nancy. But in reality, Renee was heartbroken when she heard that Xavier is getting engaged. She wanted to kill Nancy for trying to steal Xavier away from her. But when the Engagement was cancelled, she hosted a party with her friends with happiness. When Renee reminded Nancy of her failed engagement, she remembered Sierra, who is the reason why Xavier cancelled their engagement. She might not be the whole reason, but she is the part of the reason. "Hmm" Nancy made a humming sound at the back of her throat, acknowledging Renee's words. "Everyone here knows why Xavier cancelled your engagement. But no one will openly talk about that. It's because of that good for nothing Sierra" Renee is trying to make Nancy angry on Sierra. Just like she guessed, Nancy's face twisted with anger. "She is a bitch and a home wreck. I will tell anyone and every

One and only piece available" "Looks like Mr. Woods proposed to her with such an amazing ring" "Yes, she will soon become Mrs. Woods" "Then we better go and get into her good books" "Her friendship will earn us so many benefits" Nancy, Renee and Esther became very angry when they heard most of the guests praising Sierra. "That bitch. What did she feed Xavier? Why is he so smitten with her to the point that he completely becomes a different man in front of her" Renee muttered angrily, remembering how Xavier hugged Sierra and showered her with a

    "He could have slid that ring to any of your other fingers. But he only picked that one finger, can't you guess why?" Claire pointed out again. Sierra looked surprised to hear Claire's version. She never thought it that way. She never thought that he might have fallen for her just like how she fell for him. 'Can it be?' she wondered. But before she could open up, a new voice added to their conversation. "How I wish that the man I like to propose to me that way. So romantic" Cathy said in a dreamy way. That made Both Claire and Sierra turn their attention towards Cathy. As the Augustine family is well known, and he is also acquainted with Nathan and a few of his party leaders, he extends his invitation to Nathan, Dorothy and a few members from their party along with Noel and his family from the opposition party. Nathan already arrived by the time Cathy walked in with her parents. She is wearing a bold red colour dress which hugs her frame perfectly. It sits just over her thighs,

    "Add this to one of those drinks and make sure to hand this over to Sierra. The same woman who accompanied Mr. Woods tonight" Esther instructed one of the waiters. The waiter looked pale and uncomfortable. "Madam, please don't try to make me get killed. We all know that Mr. Woods wrath is equal to death. I have a family who depend on me" the waiter refused. Esther removed a wad of cash from her clutch. "Relax, why are you so scared? This is not poisonous. It will not kill the lady. This is an Aphrodisiac. It will turn the lady very very romantic. Mr. Woods is going to have a very good night tonight. All you have to do is give this to the lady, and you will not regret it later" Esther assured the waiter, who still looked like he doesn't want to do it. "He is my nephew. Why will I try to kill his bride?" Esther added, which seems to convince the waiter. He accepted the cash and the aphrodisiac. "Alright Madam" he replied. Sierra and Claire were stunned to hear Esther try

    "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

    '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.

    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.

    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

Her grave was beside Janine's grave. Renee finally decided to apologise to Sierra before leaving for good.

I am eager to see how Xavier would react to it" Sierra said with a mischievous grin. Cathy giggled with mirth.
