04.

Sierra and Nora went up to her room because that was the only place they could get the peace they wanted.

Nora wasn't surprised at the beauty and largeness of Sierra's room. It had always been a custom for her to have all things extra.

Sierra's room was designed by her father himself. She had her own veranda, a big bathroom, a queen sized bed. She also had a well stocked closet and lounge.

It was as big as a house itself.

Ever since Sierra's mom died, her dad had always made her happy. She got anything she wanted anytime she wanted it.

Sierra had the latest shoes, the latest Gucci and Hermes bags. Her closet was like a boutique. Her father always went over board.

Back to the present.

Nora walked into Sierra's bedroom. Although she was already expecting it to be big and fancy, but she couldn't help but gasp at the beauty of the room.

"Wow. Sierra, this room is beautiful." She said sitting on the bed and proceeded to lie on it.

"Well, daddy designed it himself." Sierra replied as she brought out some desserts.

The girls have a shower and then put on the same tank top and shorts, before sitting on Sierra's bed to talk.

Serria starts the conversation.

"So..how have you been?" She asked with so much excitement in her eyes.

"I've been fine." Nora replied. She seemed down cast.

Serria noticed this and decided to ask her later. She didn't want to ruin the mood.

"Anything you want to tell me?" Sierra asked expecting Nora to have a lot to tell her but she just kept mute.

"No," she answered quite bored.

Sierra raised a brow seeing this. She pursed her lips, disgruntled. "Are you keeping something from me? I expected you to have a lot to tell me. You were away for about five years. Didn't you miss me? Aren't we best friends anymore? Did I offend you?"

Tears fell from Serria's eyes. She was so disappointed. She had kept so much excitement but the other party turned out to be uninterested. She couldn't help but be emotional.

She didn't get why Nora was giving her attitude. Nora knew she had already hurt Serria feelings.

"No... it's not that. I'm just tired,"she said with a faint smile.

Serria believed her without a single doubt.

"Oh... sorry. I forgot you just came back from a long journey. Sorry, I got angry." Sierra said as she shook her head.

"Your room has been prepared. I'll take you there. Or you want to sleep with me?"she added.

She swatted Nora's shoulder hoping she would stay with her.

But, Nora shook her head.

"No, just take me to my room," she said, getting up.

Sierra was really confused and disappointed. But she didn't want to annoy Nora.

"Ok," she said has she held her hand and dragged her to her room.

Nora's room was also big. Sierra designed it for her. She had really been looking forward to her arrival.

Sierra had already hung up the pictures they took when they were kids. Nora didn't expect her to be prepared for her visit.

She was so sad to be doing this to her. But she had to.

"Thanks I'll go to bed," she said as she escorted Sierra out of the room and shut the door.

Nora sat on the floor as tears fell down from her eyes.

Sierra didn't deserve this...

She picked up her phone and called someone.

"I'm in the house".

The person form the other hand laughed manically.

"Good. Now, move on to the next phrase of the plan."

Nora hung up the call without giving the person a answer of certainty.

She stood up, wiped off her tears and walked towards her briefcase.

Then, she brought out a a file and tears it into pieces. Then, she threw the pieces out the window.

Nora knew she had to obey her father.

Nora's father was Sierra's uncle.

Ben, Nora's father and Ken, Sierra's father were the sons of Carlos, the ruler of the enterprises..

He trained both his sons the dos and don'ts of business.

He trained them and nutured them..

Ken was the older brother. So his father took more time with him because he had more chances of ruling than his younger brother.

This made Ben very jealous and angry. He thought his father and brother were planning to cheat him.

Ben decided to poison his brother Ken.

His father was hosting a party..he found this as the perfect avenue to kill his brother..

He poisoned his drink and handed it out to Ken as a toast.

Right about that time, Mr Carlos coughed out. He was choking on his food. Ken immediately passed his drink to his father..

Ben couldn't do anything as he watched his father drink the poisoned drink meant for his brother.

He held his anger and knew his father wouldn't last the night..

His plan failed. After his father's death Ken was obviously going to take over.

He made a horrible mistake. He had tried on so many occasions to eliminate Ken but to no avail.

Ken never suspected his brother was trying to kill him. He always loved him and made him assist him in the company.
