"Do you think Derek killed his mother?" she whispered. From the moment she found out that the corpse with which she was locked in that room belongs to Esther. It came out as a shock. She didn't see or even speak with the person who kidnapped her. Everyone is saying that it's Derek. He had a motive to kidnap Sierra, but killing his mother is extreme, even to him. Xavier remembered how he felt when he saw his aunt in that state. An uncomfortable feeling made him feel bitter. "I don't know, and I am not sure. But nothing else makes any sense. It doesn't make any sense that you were locked up in the same room Derek booked and was found drinking. And aunt Esther was dumped in the same room alongside you. All the possibilities are pointing at Derek to be the suspect. Even If we imagine that anyone else is involved and killed aunt Esther, it seems to be not the case. That private room is filled with the scent and finger prints of only Derek and aunt Esther. So it proves that no one was in
"What was an accident Derek?" Benjamin demanded, dreading his son's answer. Derek is already dying Inside with guilt. But he never thought he could feel even worse until that moment. Facing his dad and confessing to him about how his mother died felt like the worst of the pains he ever experienced so far. His arrogance and ego died a miserable death already, stripping him bare of his dignity and his family. "I was trying to snatch her mobile from her when she threatened to call you. It was just a push. But she slipped and fell on the centre table. The glass pieces, they...." Derek broke down, unable to continue. Benjamin slumped on the floor, looking shell shocked. Derek doesn't need to explain anything else. He understood everything already. "You killed her" Benjamin mumbled mostly himself, accusing his son. Derek crawled towards his dad and tried to touch his hands and beg him for his forgiveness. But Benjamin moved out of reach. "Don't touch me with the same hands with which
"Oh my god, Si, you are looking so hot today. This white dress suits you well" Claire gushed over how pretty Sierra looked. Sierra was wearing a white coloured fishtail dress that reached her toes and has a center slit in the back until the back of her knees. It has two rows of pearl strings around her sleeves. The torso of the dress has Swarovski crystals with lace detailing. The dress looked classy and very beautiful all at once. It complimented Sierra's figure, showing off her curves. Sierra looked at herself in her vanity mirror and touched her pink tinted cheeks with matching lipstick and minimal makeup. Her hair is cascading down her back in waves. She looked ethereal, like an angel. "I am sure Mr. Woods is going to have a hard time concentrating on his work and keep his hands to himself" Cathy teased, prompting both Sierra and Claire to laugh with mirth. Claire is wearing a navy blue off shoulder dress. The dress is sleeveless leaving her shoulder bare. It hugs her frame t
Xavier kissed Sierra deeply while thrusting inside her, wet heat, faster and harder. Her light blue eyes, which almost looked grey are dilated while her cherry red lips are parted. Her black body con dress is pooled around her waist while her heels dug into his back. Her hair is a mess, and she looked like she was ravished thoroughly. Her neck is red because of his bite mark which he left there intentionally. The room is filled with her low moans and his groans of pleasure. Soon, her walls tightened around him and she came while digging her nails onto his neck. She is biting her lips so as to not make any loud noise and alert Xavier's fiance who was in the other room. He is dressed in his black tux, ready to attend his 'So called' engagement party. He was not planning to ravish Sierra, who is a decade younger than him and also the best friend of his niece. But when he looked at her in that black dress and noticed how she had the attention of every male in the party, he couldn't stop
Two weeks ago.....Sierra Leone woke up with a banging headache and felt like her body was on fire. Every muscle in her body is aching, as if she ran a marathon."Ahhh" she groaned and sat up on the Plush cloud like bed in her room while holding her head.The soft lull of the ocean as their Yacht took them farther away from the shore made her stomach feel queasy.Her best and only friend Claire Woods Invited Sierra to her uncle's engagement party which was going to be held on their private island after two weeks, and the bride and groom's side friends and relatives will celebrate the upcoming festivities on the ocean while sailing in their huge luxurious Yacht. Claire gave Sierra her own room, knowing how difficult it is for Sierra to adjust with strangers. And the bed in her room feels like she is sleeping on a cloud."I suggest you to leave before I decide to throw you out" a very masculine and a strange voice rang from beside Sierra, much to her shock. Her eyes blinked open with c
'He is the groom?' Sierra thought with shock.All the blood drained out of her face at that realisation. Not only is he the groom, but also Claire's uncle and the owner of the yacht. 'Sierra, how did you end up in this kind of a mess? You slept with Claire's uncle who is thinking that you are some cheap whore. Why is this happening to me?' Sierra thought to herself feeling stressed."Hello" she heard his voice. He is behaving as if he doesn't know her, which saved her from a lot of awkwardness. And after this new revelation, she doesn't want to tell Claire that she lost her virginity to her handsome, and not to forget soon to be married uncle."Hello" Sierra forced herself to say. After that, he tactfully ignored Sierra while exchanging a few words with Claire who is the only one who is chatting the whole time. Even Adam sat there stiffly, speaking only when he was spoken with.Sierra couldn't eat much. She is not hungry. Her stomach is feeling heavy as if it's filled with lead.Aft
As the Yacht reached its next stop at around noon, the bridal party embarked onto the luxury Yacht. Claire and Adam received them with all the fan fare. The employees on the yacht wearing their blue and white uniforms stood on either side, welcoming the bride and her guests. Sierra stood separately, trying to stay invisible. This is a family affair, and as an outsider, it's better to be out of their way.Sierra couldn't help but notice that Xavier woods is nowhere to be found. It's his bride who is joining them on his yacht. As a host, he should have been here to welcome her. But he didn't bother to show up. And by the looks on the bride's face, she doesn't seem to mind that at all. She is all smiles while talking with Claire and Adam. There is a man who resemble her alot, and Sierra decided that he must be a relative.Apart from them, a group of five women and three men were accompanying them in their expensive clothes and accessories. For the second time that day, Sierra thought tha
Xavier Woods is busy with work to really bother about trivial matters. But that doesn't stop his fiancee from coming to his room to interrupt his work."Xavier?" Nancy's soft voice penetrated through his room door. But Xavier didn't reply. He knows that it wouldn't stop her from entering his room. Nancy entered Xavier's room with a soft smile. She is used to his coldness by now, so it doesn't bother her much. "Hey, I thought of arranging a party tonight to kick off our engagement party in style. What do you think?" Nancy asked him. She is still standing near the threshold of his room, and did not dare to enter inside the room. She knows how far she can push him. Because out of all the people, she knows him best.Xavier paused what he was doing. But he didn't bother to look at her."You and I we both know that it's not necessary. Our marriage is just a matter of convenience for both of us. So I'd rather not involve myself with all of this. If you want, you can arrange. But don't expe

"What was an accident Derek?" Benjamin demanded, dreading his son's answer. Derek is already dying Inside with guilt. But he never thought he could feel even worse until that moment.

His arrogance and ego died a miserable death already, stripping him bare of his dignity and his family. "I was trying to snatch her mobile from her when she threatened to call you.

"Derek, I am asking you something" Renee snapped at him when he refused to respond to her question. Esther's death came out as a huge shock to Renee along with everyone else. She couldn't believe it when she heard that Esther was dead, especially when she spoke to her just a few hours ago. Derek looked at her with grief and regret. He is still unable to wrap his head around the fact that he killed his mother. His ego got the best of him and he ended up taking the life of the person who gave him his life. "I...." he opened his mouth to reply. But he couldn't confess to her that he indeed killed his mother. Renee sat beside him when she saw his pain. "Derek, I know you are grieving her loss more than any of us. But you have to tell me what exactly happened there. Only then I can help you to get out of the mess you got yourself in. I will talk to dad. I am sure he would help you. Please Derek, tell me what happened" she asked him softly, telling him that she can understand his pain
"Dead body?" After Xavier and Nathan saw the dead body under the bright light, they were stunned to see to whom the body belongs. Even Sierra looked shocked. No one was expecting to find Esther's body there. "Aunt Esther?" Xavier murmured, unable to contain his shock and confusion. Everyone now knows that it's Derek who kidnapped Sierra. But it's a mystery as to why he killed his own mother. Derek was the only person who occupied this Private room, so it's impossible for anyone to come and kill Esther. Even if they did kill Esther, the reason why they killed her is unknown. "Inform my uncle about this" Xavier murmured to Nathan, who immediately pulled out his mobile and did the needful. The next one hour is a blur to everyone. Sierra refused to leave Xavier, while he was forced to stay back and hand over his aunt's body to his uncle. Some how, the media got hint of this news and they swarmed outside the pub like ants. The patrons of the pub who were oblivious to everything t
Outside the Private room, Derek cleaned the broken glass pieces and the blood. If one of the employees comes here, then they would definitely see the mess and the thick metallic scent in the air is unmistakable. He sprayed some room freshener and cleaned up everything nearly. He made a request to extend his private room reservation for two more days before leaving the pub. He needs time to think about his next move. And he also has to make arrangements to bury his mother. He is not worried about Sierra for the time being, because he was sure that no one can find her and she cannot be able to come out of there on her own. He quickly left the pub. On the other hand, Carlos and Adam returned empty handed. They didn't find anything in the hospital. "Xavier, she is not here" Carlos shared regretfully. Xavier pointed at the pub beside the hospital. "Is that the pub where you found Derek this morning?" he Inquired. When Adam and Carlos came to confront Derek, he pretended to be full
"Mom, I am so sorry. I am so sorry" Sierra faintly heard someone crying from outside the door. She felt like she heard this voice before. But she couldn't recollect whom it belongs to. "Hello? Someone there? Help me please" she banged on the door again and again to catch the attention of the person who is outside. But no matter how hard and how long she tried, the person on the other side didn't reply. But Sierra knows that someone is there on the other side. "Please, help me" she banged again. Now the sides of her palms are bruised and hurting. She doesn't know who kidnapped her and where she is. And no matter how much she tried, she couldn't find a way to get out of that dark room. Tears of desperation and uncertainty started to trickle down her cheeks. "Xavier, I am scared" she murmured to the dark room. Only silence greeted her. Her shoulders shook with her suppressed sobs of fear and uncertainty of her situation. She doesn't know why and who kidnapped her and where she is.
Esther and Derek looked in the direction from where the knocking was coming from. Esther was confused to see that the knocking sound is coming from inside the Private room, and not from outside the door. "Someone there? Please help me" A faint feminine voice was heard over the background noise of the tv. Esther's whole body froze with panic and shock as she recognised the voice. "Sierra? Oh dear" she murmured with shock as the realisation of what this means settled in her gut. The fact is, Derek kidnapped Sierra, just like everyone else was thinking. Esther collapsed on the couch. Her limbs were shaking with fear, imagining the retribution they are going to receive once this comes out. Her whole frame started to shake with silent sobs of fear. "What is wrong with you Derek? Are you trying to bury our family alive? Are you not seeing how much people are already hating you? If this comes out, Xavier will not hesitate to kill you" she cried out in panic, still reeling with the s
"Did you check all the vehicles? I am sure she must be in one of them" Xavier demanded the cop who was still checking the vehicles that are passing by the intersection near Nathan's office. The traffic security cops indeed checked every vehicle that passed by the intersection. "Yes sir. We checked every vehicle. But we didn't find her in any of them'' the cop replied regretfully. Xavier is frustrated and angry. "How can it be? This is the only way which leads from the President's camp office. There is no other way. The kidnapper should have taken her only through this way. It's not possible to go anywhere else. Are you sure you checked every vehicle?" Xavier insisted. The cop frowned deeply, trying to remember if they missed any vehicle. That's when he remembered the ambulance. "Sir, we checked every vehicle, but an ambulance. There was a patient inside who needed immediate assistance. So we didn't check that ambulance" he replied. Xavier cursed. Adam and Nathan shook
