"Xavier, someone stole the bidding file of the woods group. We lost the bid and your uncle Benjamin won the contract" Carlos told Xavier over the phone.

Xavier was not pleased to hear this.

"What do you mean by ' the file was stolen'? Did you not submit that file to the NS group yesterday?"

The NS group is also one of the conglomerates who owns the biggest clothing chair in the country. They were in need of a supplier who can supply raw materials to them. The woods group deals in production of fabrics. So they were trying to win the NS group contract, which would earn them huge profits. But now that Benjamin won the contract and the Woods group lost it, the share price of the Franklin group would increase.

It's not a secret that Benjamin doesn't like Xavier. So he wouldn't hesitate to go against Xavier.

"I couldn't go and submit it personally. So I sent it with one of our managers. I don't know what happened, he came back this morning sporting injuries all over his body an

    "I heard you lost a very important file" Xavier spoke in a tone that made the manager understand that he is in trouble. The manager's breathing became uneven with fear. "Y..yes, Mr. Woods" he replied, trying to maintain his tone steady and convincing. But he couldn't hide his fear. Xavier raised his brows in a sympathetic gesture. But it looked like he was mocking the manager. "Is it? Can you explain exactly when and where you were attacked?" he asked again. The manager wiped the sweat off his forehead before replying. He couldn't ignore the man who has been brutally whipped just now. "It happened around three in the afternoon. They came out of nowhere and stole the file after attacking me physically" the manager repeated the same thing which he told Carlos. Xavier smirked. "May I know what you were doing until three in the noon without submitting the file even though you left the company at around ten in the morning" Xavier tugged at the loop holes in his story. T

    In the Basement, the manager is crying pathetically. But no one is feeling sorry for him. "So, are you ready to tell me from whom you took money to sell my file?" Xavier asked the manager coldly. The manager nodded and wiped his eyes with his shirt collar. "It's your cousin Derek Franklin. He offered me one million for that file. And they submitted our company file claiming it as their own. And they got the contract" the manager revealed. Xavier gritted his teeth with suppressed anger. He was hoping that Derek would change after coming from abroad. But no. He has turned worse than ever. "You are fired. Get lost" Xavier snapped at the manager. The manager slumped down to his knees. "Please Mr. Woods, I need this job. Please, I will not do this again" he begged. But Xavier gave him a cold stare. "You are lucky that I am not filing a case against you. If you don't leave now, then I might change my mind" he said with cold indifference. The manager understood that he messed up bi

    When Sierra woke up from her sleep, she noticed that she was alone. She sighed heavily and looked at the far wall absently. She is in love with Xavier. She shouldn't have been surprised. And she should have seen this coming. He gave her everything she was deprived off. Affection, attention, care and support. After that accident, she had to care about herself and her mother. There were times when she used to feel so lonely and desperate, that she used to longe for someone to care for her too. And that feeling used to be strong whenever she used to see someone who cares about eachother. She used to crave for that. As if God has blessed her, Xavier appeared out of nowhere. 'What if I lose him too? Can I survive his loss? But if I leave now, can I be able to move on from him?' she thought to herself. She doesn't need anyone to tell her that she wouldn't be able to live without Xavier. "God, what a mess. I cannot stay here with the fear that he would never love me back the way I love

    In the Franklin group, Benjamin is in a very good mood. He is smiling brightly. "Derek, you did a great job. It's a very good beginning for you as the new CEO of the Franklin group. You managed to out-smart the Woods group and snatch the contract from right under their noses. How did you do it?" Benjamin asked curiously. He looked really proud of his son. And the shareholders and the directors of the Franklin group are happy as well. It's so far the biggest contract for the Franklin group and their share price also went up over night. Derek smiled mysteriously. "Dad, this is just the beginning. I am going to snatch more than this contract from Xavier. He is going to go down so fast that he would be left reeling in the aftermath. I will replace the so-called king maker" he said arrogantly. His intentions are not good, and he was not just talking about the business. He also wanted to take Sierra away from Xavier too. Benjamin clapped excitedly. "That's the spirit, my son. I am rea

    "What do you mean by You lost your job?" Derek demanded the manager over a call. After his father left, he tried calling the manager, but all his calls went unanswered. But after a few hours, the manager called back. "Sir, how can I not lose my job? I sabotaged a very big contract. So they kicked me out" the manager lied. He didn't dare to tell Derek that Xavier found out about what he did and the manager had to reveal everything about Derek. The manager is scared that Derek might hurt him. Derek punched the air angrily. "So you are not working in the Woods group any longer?" Derek demanded. The manager sighed with regret. He is still regretting the job he lost. "Yes, they handed over all my things to me and even replaced another person in my place" he shared feeling bitter. Derek rubbed his temples feeling irritated. "I need a copy of that bidding file again. The NS group of people somehow lost it. And they requested another copy. Can you ask someone in the company to get a

    "Mr. Sanders, the contract which the Woods group prepared was selected, but I am afraid the contract was awarded to the wrong person" Xavier revealed. Sanders looked confused. "What? But we didn't receive any Bid from the Woods group. I was in fact waiting for it. I had to follow the protocol, so we had to announce this bid to play fair and pacify my directors. If not, I was interested in cooperation with the Woods group" Sanders explained. He still looked confused about what Xavier spoke. 'Woods group contract was selected?' he is mulling it over in his head. Xavier gave him a small mysterious smile, but didn't try to explain what he meant. "Nice meeting you, Mr. Sanders" with that said, Xavier walked away. Sanders could brush off Xavier's words as if it's nothing. But he couldn't. Xavier speaks less, but when he does, it means something. So if Xavier is saying that the Woods group's bid was selected, then that means it's true. The Franklin group bid was selected. If I go b

    "She is permanent, unlike you who is temporary" Esther snapped at Sierra. Sierra smiled at her words. But deep down, she felt as if she couldn't breathe. 'She is his only female friend? So she is important to him. What am I to him? Am I not important enough? Then will I become another good friend in the future? Or worse, will I be discarded?' she thought feeling insecure. She felt suffocated. Compared to Renee, she is not anyone special. But she pushed down her insecurities when she remembered how much Xavier cares for her. "I don't want to offend anyone. This lady here offered me money, so I am making sure that I am not being cheated upon. How can I trust the words of a woman who doesn't work and live upon her father's money?" Sierra replied innocently. Renee became so angry, that her face turned red. "You, who do you think you are? Do you think Xavier will support you just because you saved him? Snap out of your delusional world. Let me show you whom Xavier will support now. I

    In the NS group, Derek delivered another bidding file, but it's not the same as the file he stole from the Woods group. The bidding quote is the same, but not the categorisation of which item is quoted for which price. Everything is messed up, and it's not hard for anyone to notice it too. First, Nash Noticed it, and soon he personally sent the file to his brother's cabin. "Brother, We received another copy of the bidding file from the Franklin group. But, something is different this time. Here, take a look" Nash informed his brother. Sanders is already suspicious, especially after his little chit chat with Xavier. So he was eager to review the file once again. He accepted the file and started to look into the details of the file. It didn't take him more than a few seconds to notice the difference. This is not the same file they reviewed and selected. "Why does the details in this file look so different?" Sanders inquired of his brother. Nash settled down in a chair opposite the

    The next morning, as Sierra was blissfully asleep, Xavier and Carlos were not. "Here, this is the original pill which the doctor prescribed for Sierra. And this bottle, was replaced by the maid last night. I got them checked. The replaced pills will assist in aborting the baby in her Womb. Whoever it is that is trying to kill you, that person is targeting your baby now. If not for Fiona's intuition, we wouldn't have been able to escape such a big threat. We need to hurry now. No matter what, finding that hidden person should be our main moto. If this goes on, it's not good for the baby or Sierra" Carlos expressed his worry. Xavier clenched the duplicate bottle that he was holding in his palm. He is beyond angry. "Drag that maid to the basement. I need the details of the person whom she is working for" Xavier instructed Carlos. After a few minutes, when the maid entered the house as if nothing happened, Carlos grabbed her and dragged her to the basement after closing her mouth tigh

    Fiona picked up the pill which rolled down towards her feet. "What are you doing here?" Carlos demanded the maid while looking at her with suspicion. The maid looked scared as if she got caught doing something which she shouldn't have been doing. "I..I.." the maid stuttered to explain what she was still doing there. Fiona chimed in at that moment. "You were supposed to bring these pills to Sierra. What are you still doing here. And look what you did. You soiled this pill. Just take that bottle as it is to Sierra. She will take the pill herself. You should not be touching any kind of pills with bare hands. Now go" she reprimanded the careless maid. The maid bobbed her head and immediately rushed out of the room. After the maid left, Fiona looked at the pill which she was holding. "What happened?" Carlos Inquired when he noticed how she was looking at the pill. Something niggled at the back of her mind. Something suspecious. "Did you notice how that maid was practically shiver

    "Well, I hope you can find a girlfriend soon. Now if you excuse me" Cathy replied as if she is not literally dancing inside her head after his admission of being single. Cathy tried to open the door, but he was holding the door shut with his firm grip. Her nonchalant reaction bothered him more than he thought possible. The thought of her slowly slipping away from him made him feel heavy inside his heart. "What do you mean by that Cathy? Don't tell me that you moved on from me so quickly. Do you really wish for me to get a girlfriend?" he demanded. That thought alone is making him feel torturous. Cathy stiffened. No, she absolutely doesn't want him to find a girlfriend. She doesn't want him to love anyone but her. She didn't move on from him at all. It's absolutely impossible. But she is not going to admit that to him so soon. She wanted to see how far he was willing to go for her. "You should have thought about all this when you lied to me about having a girlfriend. You bruta

    In the tower, Renee was seen crying for her father who was still lying paralysed on the ground. She tried to move him to a couch or even a bed, but he was too heavy for her. Janine on the other hand is acting as if she just didn't paralyse her husband and threatened her younger daughter. She is taking care of Maddy. Just then, Janine's assistant came running. His clothes looked dirty and he was huffing and out of breath. "What's wrong with you?" Janine asked him with irritation. He took a moment to catch his breath. "Boss, Looks like Xavier Woods started to get suspicious of our involvement. His men found me when I was searching for that old man. I escaped from them with difficulty. I don't think I can hide for long. They might catch me sooner if not later" he shared with panic. Janine is not happy to hear this news. She is very upset. So far, her day has been going downhill from the moment Renee found out about her plan. "Idiot, didn't I tell you to be careful? How come you g

    That evening, Cathy went to the president's building to see her mom. As their family of three planned to go out for dinner, Cathy's father suggested he pick them up from Dorothy's office. As the commute back home would be long at that hour, Cathy agreed. As Sierra looked tired, Josh offered to drop her. Claire and Fiona decided to accompany Sierra and take care of her until Xavier could come back from his work. Josh joined the four ladies at noon for lunch. He is funny, sweet and very down to earth. So it was not at all difficult to get along with him. Moreover, his company made their lunch filled with laughter. "There you go" Josh said after he parked his car in front of the president's building. "Do you want to join us for dinner, Josh?" Cathy asked him. He became a good friend and she is sure her parents would enjoy his company. He wrinkled his face and shook his head. "No meeting and greeting the parents. I will leave that part to your Nathan" he refused with a shudder. She s

    Sierra found a wedding gown which looked so beautiful, that she immediately fell in love with it. The dress has full sleeves with an intricate pattern designed over the sheer shimmery fabric of her collar bone and down her sleeves till her elbows. The dress hugs her frame till her waist before flaring down into uneven layers down her hips. Sierra looked like an angel in that dress. Pure, and absolutely breathtaking. "This is the one" "I like it too" "So pretty" Claire, Cathy and Fiona liked the dress so much, and so did Sierra. While they felt a little awkward in the beginning, it vanished once they started talking about normal stuff. Carlos was observing their interaction with satisfaction. He felt relieved to see that Sierra was matured and understood a twisted situation well. She handled it better than many people double her age would have done. The fact that she detached herself from her emotions to understand this situation better was speaking volumes about the kind

    Sierra was remembering the past few years where she had Fiona as her colleague. They had each other to rely on if they had to change their working shift. Fiona used to save some food for Sierra if she finished her work early, and vice versa. They used to be compatible and had each other's back at work. Neither of them were sharing types, so they just know some basic information about each other. Nothing else. Details of their family condition, family members, things like that. But one thing Sierra knows in her heart is that, Fiona was kind hearted. She had her own challenges, but she was tough enough to navigate through them, just like Sierra. Their bond formed because of their mutual troubles. They could understand what the other must be feeling. They could understand each other without the other having to tell anything. But they separated after Sierra stopped working after her mother's death. Now, they found eachother again, but under unimaginable circumstances. Back then, Sierra

  • Forced to be in a relationship with my Friends uncle   Truth comes out

    Sierra was seen sitting on Carlos's couch, while Claire and Cathy looked ashen with shock. Fiona on the other hand was seen crying with pain. She just revealed the truth about what happened with her brother and her father's involvement in all of that. She didn't beat around the bush. She confessed everything like Carlos suggested her to do. While Sierra didn't utter a single word throughout, Cathy and Claire showed how shocked they were to hear this. "This was, unexpected" finally Claire muttered. Cathy had to agree with her words. Claire is putting things mildly. "This is fucked up" Cathy muttered. But Fiona is waiting for Sierra's reaction. When she learned the truth about whom her brother stabbed, it took her some time to come out of the shock too. And she cannot expect Sierra to digest and react to this situation instantly. All Fiona was expecting is forgiveness, but she is not sure if Sierra can forgive her. Sierra almost lost her life. And it's asking too much to forget su

    "Your friend?" Carlos Inquired. Sierra frowned, noticing that he stressed the word 'Friend'. She didn't understand what was going on in his head, but she decided that it doesn't matter. "Yes, my friend. We used to work together before I quit. But we lost touch after I left the job. I want to know where she lives" Sierra explained. Carlos was thinking about what she said. He doesn't want her to misunderstand Fiona for something which she was never responsible for. "Can I ask you a question?" he asked, surprising her. Her frown deepened. The way their conversation is going is weird. "Ook" she replied, showing that his request surprised her. Carlos is making sure that Sierra understands that she cannot blame an innocent. "If you find out that someone from your 'Friends' family tried to hurt you? Will you blame your friend who was unaware of all that?" he asked her. Sierra didn't miss the way he stressed the word 'Friend', again. She immediately understood that he was talking a
