"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
The waiter carried the drinks tray to Esther and offered her the drink. He arranged the drinks in such a way, that Esther would definitely pick up the drugged drink. And she did. Renee and Nancy picked up their drinks. "Is it done?" Esther asked the waiter, inquiring about the task she gave him. That is dragging Sierra. The waiter remembered the video, and looked at the drink which Esther was holding. "Yes Madam, it's done" he replied. His task was to drug someone, and he did that. Esther, Renee and Nancy smirked with satisfaction. "Very good. You can go now" Esther shooed him away. "Cheers to her destruction" Renee raised a toast, which was joined by Esther and Nancy. All three of them took their first sip bubbling with excitement. "I saw her going towards the pool area. Let's go and witness her shame" Renee suggested, too eager to see Sierra ruining herself. "Sure" Nancy and Esther agreed. The three of them made their way to the backyard. In the meantime, Sierra, Cathy and
"What's happening here?" Xavier demanded when he noticed his aunt in the pool while Renee looked aggressive. Their commotion is not too loud to alert everyone in the party, as music drowned most of what they were talking about. But as Xavier, Adam and Nathan were noticing everything for a while now, they decided to come and check what was going on between the ladies. "Thank the gods Xavier. Look at this wrench. She pushed me into the pool. She doesn't know how to respect elders" Esther cried out from the water. As the water is calming down the effects of the drug, she is able to speak properly. "Yes, she mercilessly pushed Aunt Esther into the water. She is trying to kill aunt Esther" Renee chimed in, blaming Sierra for everything. "If this is how she is now, then I don't know how she would behave in the future. I feel threatened in her presence. Xavier, you have to make a decision regarding her now. She is very vicious" Esther tried to add more fuel into the fire. Sierra did
"That was fun" Claire broke the silence once they left the backyard and the party altogether. They were escorted out of the party soon after they were taken away from the backyard. Now, standing in the middle of the well lit parking lot, all the three women are grinning like crazy. Xavier, Nathan and Adam moved away from them and stood in a straight line while looking at the respective ladies expectantly. "What happened back there?" Xavier asked Sierra. Before Sierra could reply, Sierra broke into laughter, which she tried to control. But when Claire and Cathy joined her, it became impossible to control. All three of them are laughing like crazy, while the men are looking at them with amusement. "The moment you pushed her into the pool, her expression was priceless" Claire said between her laughter. "No, no. Their expressions when they realised that instead of Sierra it's that old lady who was drugged looked absolutely funny" Cathy chimed in. "Xavier, she is trying to kill a
The next morning in the Franklin house, Benjamin looked very furious. After Sierra, Xavier and the rest of their friends and family left, Esther was still 'Swimming' in the pool. As Renee and Nancy were with her, it attracted a lot of attention from the other guests as well. One after the other the guests started to flood into the backyard to look at Esther in astonishment and curiosity. Despite being very cold at this season, they are not understanding why Esther is 'Swimming' in the pool. They started questioning and gossiping among themselves. She became the subject of their laughter and gossip. Soon, it reached the ears of Benjamin as well. When he demanded to get her out of the water, she came, rather reluctantly. But after coming out, her behaviour was rather weird and very inappropriate. She was touching herself suggestively, and was even touching him and kissed him more than once. That annoyed Benjamin to no end. The mocking smiles and gossips made him even more furious.
"You were trying to protect me from Sierra? How kind. Then where were you when your son stole my bidding file and submitted it to another company as his own?" Xavier demanded. Benjamin already knows about this, and he had the decency to look guilty. While Esther didn't seem to care about it at all. "So what? He is your cousin. What's yours is also his. What if he wanted some help with a little project? Can't you help him that much?" she replied as if it's not a big deal. That made Xavier shake his head with displeasure. "What's mine is never his. Everything I own now is my hard work. It's mine. And he didn't ask me for help. Just like you, he used some underhanded methods. Looks like he learned all these things from you. Your husband seems to be only aggressive while abusing a child. But when it comes to business, he seems to have some ethics" he insulted the whole family for their unethical practices. Benjamin tightened his fists with suppressed anger. He wanted to punch someone
Derek left the Bistro feeling angry. He is handsome. And women tend to fall all over themselves for his attention. He doesn't know why Sierra is different. Her defensive body reaction and the way she looked at him with a guarded expression is something he is unable to digest. For the first time he is after a girl and she is acting difficult to get. 'You can act however you want. You will be mine, sooner or later' he promised to himself. He pulled out his mobile and dialled a number. "Did you take the pictures? Good, now release them in every web portal possible and tag it claiming that she is my girlfriend. It should spread like wild fire and by afternoon everyone should know that she is mine. Is it clear?" he instructed someone. "Yes sir" came an instant reply. As soon as he disconnected the call, he received another call. "Sir, your father sent a message to the NS group saying that we are withdrawing from the bid. He also mentioned that the bid should be finalized to the Wood
"I am definitely not a gay" Nathan clarified firmly. Being labelled as a gay didn't sit well with his male pride. "Ha ha, what a joke. You would have fooled me with how convincing you are sounding. But I saw it with my own eyes. You don't like women, period" she insisted. Nathan looked extremely pissed. "Cathy, you are crossing a line here. I said I am not a gay, so I am not" he said firmly and angrily. "Ha ha" she mocked him. "Is it? You cannot fool me" she replied sarcastically. He is so livid, that he is ready to scream the room down. But he is trained not to show his emotions to anyone. And so he pushed anger down. "How do you want me to prove it otherwise?" he asked reasonably. She gave him a once over when he asked her that question. She still likes him, despite him batting for the other team. "Don't worry, I will help you" she offered with sugary sweetness, making him feel as if she is up to something. With that offer, she rounded the table and pushed him back into

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.
