After the meeting with the NS group ended, Derek was seen livid with anger. Benjamin and the others from the Franklin group were unable to understand why he was so angry. "Derek, like I said, you have to calm down. This is just a small bump on our success. Once we are through this, the contract will be ours" Benjamin spoke with a hint of frustration in his tone. He wanted his son to practice to be calm, but his son is anything but calm. His volatile and impulsive behaviour is not good for his image within and out of the Franklin group. But Derek refused to steer to his caution. Derek glared at his father. "Why did you even agree to their stupid proposal? We already won the bid. And why do we have to resubmit it again? Don't you think the NS group is being partial to Xavier?" Derek expressed his anger. Benjamin is not pleased with his son's tone, and so are the other executives who are present with them. "You are new to this. But I am not. It's not unheard of to request for ano
"Claire, how trustworthy is the Franklin family?" Sierra inquired. Claire is surprised to hear that question. "What made you ask that? Grandma Esther might have acted rashly with you, but she used to take good care of my grandfather when he was alive. I don't think she is actually that bad. I am sure she will warm up to you soon" Claire assured Sierra, not understanding why she suddenly asked such a question. Sierra frowned deeply. "Claire, I met your cousin Derek the other day in the hospital. And he was not very polite as well. He was being very harsh. And now your Grandma Esther. I don't know much about Mr. Franklin, but I don't have a very good opinion of the two Franklin family members whom I had the chance to meet" Sierra shared. She is not being unreasonable because their behaviour towards her was bad. She knows that Derek is trying to sabotage Xavier's project and his mother is trying her best to encourage Renee against Sierra. And for some reason, she is getting this
"You don't remember me, do you?" Carlos asked Fiona. She gave him a confused look. 'Remember him? Do I know him?' she wondered. She tried to remember where she must have met him, but she came out blank. "I am sorry. I don't remember you. Did we meet at my work place? I mean, in the pub where I work as a waitress? I am sorry, I serve so many customers each day, It's not possible to remember them" she apologized sincerely. He gave her a sad smile. "No, we met much earlier than that. I know you when you were around fourteen years old" he revealed, leaving her shell shocked. She started picking up the pieces and realised where they could have met. "High school? You were in my high school?" she realised. He gave her a small nod. She looked at him, really looked at him and tried to remember him from back then. Despite trying for a while, she still failed. Life back then felt like it was ages ago. She is not the same person whom she was back then. If it's possible, her family condit
"I think I should resume work. What do you think?" Sierra asked for Xavier's opinion. If he had his way, he wanted to marry her by night fall and impregnate her with his child by morning. But he knows that it's not as easy as his racing thoughts. She is just warming up to him, and he refused to ruin it. "I know you love what you do. And you are very very talented. But still, I cannot allow you to work in the Gawin group until everyone know that you belong to me" he said casually. Her eyes became wide with surprise and shock. "What? Xavier...." she was about to refuse his condition. But he silenced her with his finger over her lips. "I already confessed how I feel about you. So why can't I announce to the world the same thing? Are you embarrassed to be seen with me?" he inquired softly. He knows he is pushing her boundaries one after another. But he cannot keep quiet and allow her to lead their relationship. If it's up to her, they will forever remain the way they are now.
"So sweet" he mumbled mostly to himself between his kisses. He shifted her position over his lap, so that now she is straddling him across his things. Her t-shirt rode up, showing her wet panties. He quickly got rid of her t-shirt and bra, leaving her only in her panties. While he is fully dressed, she is bare from above her waist. He missed this, he missed being insider her the most. He leaned down and captured one of her breasts with his lips. While his fingers disappeared inside her panties and started working on her wet folds. She is slick and dripping wet, all for him. That thought made his possesive side to smirk with triumph. He sucked her nipple harder, making her back arch and a moan slipped from her lips. She is gasping and moaning with the way how he is working her body all at the same time. His mouth is eating her breasts as if they are his favourite desert, while his fingers are playing her folds like a musical instrument. It didn't take long for her orgasm to build.
"No, please don't cry" Nathan requested Cathy earnestly. Cathy sniffed and wiped her tears away with the back of her palms. "How could you scold me like that? I just brought some home cooked meals for you?" she complained, making it look like it was his fault and she was very innocent. Nathan looked at the bag she brought and at her. He does not understand why he is being shown as the bad guy here. He was trying to push her away for her sake. "I..but" he is at a loss of words. He doesn't know how to react to her accusation. Taking his confusion to her advantage, Cathy hugged him tightly, still sniffing and crying a little. Now that she is crying, he couldn't bring himself to push her away. But he didn't hug her back either, and she noticed it too. "You are not sincere. You are very ungrateful. You made me cry like this and still refused to console me. You are not even hugging me back" she complained and started to cry louder. Immediately Nathan wrapped his hands around her sh
"Because I stole that bid from Xavier" Derek revealed. Benjamin was stunned. His mouth is opening and closing, but nothing is coming out. He was not expecting this from his son who studied in the states. He was raised and educated like a prince. But finally he ended up as a thief. "What? You stole that bid from Xavier?" Benjamin whispered. Shock and disbelief evident in his tone. Derek is breathing heavily. "Yes, I stole it and submitted it as mine. But somehow the NS group suspected that and now they called for another bid. If you did not accept their request, we wouldn't have been here now. We already won their contract. Why do we have to prove it one more time?" he fumed angrily at his father. Benjamin looked at his son with disapproval. "This is not the way you do business, son. This is very unethical. I don't like Xavier because he is very arrogant. But i always admired his business tactics. I was hoping and wishing that you would become like that one day. But i never thoug
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

Sierra and Xavier's honeymoon lasted for a month before they were reluctantly forced to go back. "It was so pleasant here" Sierra said while looking at the pond which she loves so much. It's been a month since their wedding, a month of being away from everyone. It was just Sierra and Xavier together on the island. Their nights are filled with sweet love and passion, while days are filled with fun and laughter. Now she knows every inch of the island. Xavier showed her every beautiful place on the island.

"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.
