"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
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
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
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
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
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
"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
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

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.
