Sierra
I gulped and fought hard in order for tears not to spill out from my already shocked eyes. I had seen him angry a few times but this was a first as he has never shouted at me before. He always kept his distance and didn't want anything to do with me since our marriage but the reality had just settled more into me about how much a big mistake I made to be married to the man glaring at me.If eyes could kill, I would have been dead right on my spot right now due to the fire of ignited hatred for me in his silver orbs. I recalled his mother's words and why I was chosen to be his wife. But now I knew that promise to which I made to his mother wasn't going to come true now. It was impossible to change the beast I had now known in front of me.I didn't know a single thing about him in our one year of marriage as he barely came home and spent most of his time at the office or his second home. We were poles apart and never saw eye to eye which still made me wonder why he was putting up with me all this time.“Get that through your fucking skull!” I flinched at his hard and loud deep tone and quickly gave him a nod. “Now throw the phone away! Am already upset as it is because of a fucking idiot who wants to screw over my deal! Fuck!” He heaved a deep sigh before slightly smoothening his hair a bit to avoid it being messy. He turned back to the window and I did the same which gave birth to utter silence at the backseat of the car.It took us about an hour to reach his parents' villa. It was by the countryside in the outskirts of Spain. I had visited this residence once for my wedding reception venue. Apparently that was the last time I saw my parents face to face as they returned to the US. A lone tear slipped out from my eyes and I quickly wiped it off before the car parked into the driveway.He came out immediately not waiting for me but found him standing by the car before I took deep breaths. It was only for the event. Everything was going to go as usual. We wouldn't be able to see each other for a long time and it will just be as it has always been for a year now. I wasn't allowed to work because Mason despised women having power in society which was bull crap in my opinion.I stepped out slowly checking myself once more before Mason came over to my side and raised his elbows to my front. Knowing the cue, I wrapped my small hands around his upper elbow but heard him whisper to me. “You know your job Sierra. Act like the perfect wife with a bright smile on your face. You're pretty so it should cover your gloomy life.” I bit my lip feeling his harsh words piercing me deep inside. How I wished to run away from his life I placed myself in but knew I couldn't. I was bound. I was committed and there wasn't any going back now.“Mr De Luan? It's you. I thought as much.” I heard a man's voice from behind us and we both turned to meet an advanced man probably in his late forties accompanied by a young gorgeous woman by his side. Judging by Mason's reaction, it was clear he knew him from somewhere.He left me to share a hug with the man once they were in front of us. I got into my character of playing the perfect wife and smiled at the woman before giving her a side hug and a kiss on the cheeks as an elegant courtesy.“Happy one year wedding anniversary Mr De Luan. And to you too Mrs.” I smiled and thanked the man for his nice greetings before resuming my hand around Mason's arms. “Wow! You two look good together. Congratulations.” I smiled at the woman next and soon I knew the couple to be Mr and Mrs Vietro. Mr Vietro's father happened to be business partners with Mason's father in the past. I got to know from their brief conversations.Soon many people drove into the villa and atimes I hated a large crowd of people especially when I was the center of attention and tonight was that night. I got in to be welcomed with a beautiful decorative ambience. The entire hallway was beautifully decorated with bright little chandelier lights twinkling above the dimly lit hall. I let out a small surprised gasp as I walked along with Mason. Many guests passed us but didn't miss to congratulate us on our one milestone in our marriage. If only they knew how unhappy we both were.We were directed to the back of the mansion where the venue was being held. On reaching there, we were both welcomed with the loudest of applauses from the massive guests that arrived to celebrate our anniversary. I smiled and slightly waved my hands out of courtesy before my eyes rested on Mason's parents. His mother Mrs Belle looked very elegant in her wine colored dress.Mason left me to share a hug with his father while I shared a hug with Mrs Belle.“Many and many congratulations sweetie. Am so thrilled that my son and you managed to work things out because my son has stayed in this marriage for this long. Thank you Sierra. I knew you were the right choice for my son.” I forced a tight smile at her words. She did comfort me with her words of encouragement but didn't have the heart to shatter them to pieces by telling her the bitter truth about our marriage.The bitter truth that required me to live indoors all the hours of the day doing nothing and living the life like the trapped princess locked in a tower. That was my life for one year straight and still moving at the pace. Lord knows how long I had managed to survive and not gone insane from being trapped indoors all this time.“I hope my son treats you well dear?” She asked me and I gulped pausing but before I could speak, I felt a cold hand wrapping around my waist tightly causing me to become stiff instantly. His cologne had made me to recognize him immediately.“Of course I treat her well mom. Everything is fine, right darling?” Mason turned his face to me and I quickly nodded forcing out a smile. I saw Mrs Belle sighing in relief before her husband came to me and hugged me. The smile on his face showed his satisfaction of seeing Mason and I still together despite knowing Mason's indifferent nature. I guess they all thought I had managed to keep him under my control. I chuckled bitterly in my thoughts.I got shifted out of my thoughts upon hearing the sound of a glass. I looked up to see Diana, Mason's step sister. She was hitting her glass with a teaspoon to gather everyone's attention.“Attention everyone. As you know tonight is a special night for my family. My elder brother Mason has just completed his one year wedding anniversary with his wife today! So I would like to raise a toast to that ladies and gentlemen.” She spoke very fluently and elegantly before raising her glass. All the guests followed suit while a waiter walked up to us handing Mason and I our own glasses.“Cheers!” Everyone raised their glasses before each taking a sip from their glass and soon all eyes were on us. Some with genuine smiles while others seemed to be faking their smiles and happiness for us. Those people who faked their happiness were Mrs Liliana and her son Joel. Mrs Liliana was Mason's father Mr Cyrus De Luan's first wife and Joel was Mason's elder brother.I knew fake smiles when I saw one because I often saw myself in the mirror whenever I had to pretend to be happy for my husband's sake. Many of the guests came to congratulate us personally and time flew by. My legs were already sore from standing for so long. Mason had gone to discuss business related matters with Mr Cyrus while Mrs Belle checked up on me once in a while.I took a seat and had some orange juice to reduce my porched throat. I watched the scene of everyone conversing to some people and I knew that everyone here belonged to the higher class society. I on the other hand knew no one here at my own wedding anniversary except for Mason's family.As usual, I got bored of everything around me before I felt my phone beep in a message alert. It was from my mom and she had sent a message wishing me a happy wedding anniversary. I sighed and wondered why she didn't call me instead of sending a text message. Sometimes I felt whether they were keeping some distance away from me as I hardly got to talk with them since I got married. Probably having gotten rid of their burden, it seemed fair but I didn't want to sound ungrateful at the same time. They had done a lot for me and doing this small sacrifice to establish my father's company back to it's glory was something I could make.“Where's your husband Sierra? He's nowhere to be seen?” I recognized that voice anywhere. Joel grabbed a seat nearby and came to sit next to me. He smiled at me slurring at me making me feel disgusted to look at him. I slightly frowned and wanted to move but seeing me sitted at a very open area, I tried to avoid any scene.“Your husband has left you again, am I right Sierra?” He chuckled putting his face closer to mine making me to perceive the stench of alcohol coming from his mouth. “Are you drunk Joel?” I asked him with a bold frown and distaste in my expression. He chuckled more loudly at my words. “Am not drunk Sierra. I only had two or three shots of tequila and that's all. Am very tolerant of alcohol my dear sister-in-law.” His slurping voice was making me sick and wanted to get up from there immediately.“Where are you going?! Am not done talking to you damn it!” He was furious at me and grabbed me by the arm. All I wanted was to get out of here right now. From the first time I met Joel, my soul was always on alert because his entire presence screamed nothing but bad news all around.I didn't know much about Mason's family as we barely visited them only on special dinners and public events. I knew Joel was married but had no kids of his own. There were rumors of him being impotent and there was a strict rule that was against adoption in the De Luan family. Joel always had a dark look on his face everytime I saw him and tonight was no different.“Let me go Joel,” I whispered but made sure I was audible to him but he simply smirked looking at me with a strange lustful look in his green eyes for me. My body tensed and was getting to panicked mode. I was still a bit calm because I knew he wouldn't do anything to me in public as we were among many people.He shined his white teeth enjoying my tensed body which only got more hyper when he reached his hands to touch my arms. My eyes widened in horror and my mouth went dry. What a shameless pervert he was! “Let go of me Joel. Don't create a scene here. Y-your father won't like it...” I tried to reason with him but apparently the drink had gotten control over his senses.I shrieked more feeling his large hands roaming my thighs next. It took everything in me not to scream at him right now and ruin it all. But then thought of the De Luan's reputation. Just then another large hand grabbed a hold of Joel's halting his movements on my thighs. I saw the tattoo of a red heart with the letter M pierced into the heart. I knew immediately whose callous hands those belonged to.“Let go of my wife bastard!” Mason whispered in a deep yet threatening tone matching his glare towards Joel who didn't back down either. I immediately moved aside a bit away from Joel much to my relief.Joel chuckled now and taunted Mason. “Quit the act Mason. I know you and Sierra don't see each other behind closed doors. Infact I can bet you two haven't had sex before since your wedding. How ironic for you to come to the rescue now. Pathetic Mason.” My heart dropped wondering if we were that obvious. If Joel figured it out, then the chances the entire family will know about it is higher.I glanced a quick look at Mason and he didn't seem to care in the slightest that Joel knew about our pretence. On the contrary, he smirked at Joel and responded. “Even if you had the slightest bit of chance to sleep with my wife, you couldn't and we both know that.” Mason's reply seemed to strike Joel hard as his face hardened instantly.Mason chuckled lowly at Joel. “If you could even put your fucking cock straight up in your wife's pussy, there would have been an heir by now in the family, right?” Joel was grinding his teeth in sheer anger right now and I got frightened at the sight. Guns, weapons, violence and blood weren't my special friends and the last thing I wanted was for a brawl to occur between these two.“You piece of dead shit!” Joel growled lowly making Mason to smile triumphantly. He threw Joel's hand and held mine pushing me up to my feet before dragging me from the backyard of the mansion. His hold on my wrist was strong and tight making it slightly painful for me. I hissed while he didn't care to listen to my painful hisses. He simply dragged me towards the hall where we had some privacy.I sighed out loud in relief the moment he let go of my wrist and for the first time wanted to say a thank you to him for getting me out of Joel's clutches but didn't even open my mouth when he glared at me. “What the fuck where you doing with that dickhead? Huh?! Speak up!” He literally screamed at me in anger while I only opened my mouth to let out a gasp. What wrong had I done?Sierra“Listen to me. I don't give a fuck's ass about you being with anyone but don't you dare think of trying to defame me in front of everyone! Got it?” I couldn't believe my ears at what I was saying. Was he implying I was trying to make a pass at Joel? “You've...got it all wrong...” I said in a whisper feeling so stupid to think for once that he could be a human for a brief moment. My reply ticked him off as his brows hitched higher showing his annoyance. “Like I said! I couldn't care less if you open your damn legs for any man. I wouldn't be surprised if you have before getting married to me. But listen I would not let my family get even a wink about our marriage being a sham. I've reached this far and I will soon take my place in my father's mafia organization and you won't ruin this for me Sierra!” He threatened me and grabbed both my arms in a tight hold.I hissed feeling the pain already before hearing subtle footsteps coming towards us. Mason immediately let go of me clear
Mason's POVI got a call from my dad so early in the morning while I was trying to get some sleep after fucking Maria all night. I groaned on the bed in annoyance the moment I saw it was my dad. He always knew how to get away with what he wanted.I rolled my eyes before rubbing my tired face and smiled staring at the sexiest thing in the universe. She was sleeping by my side with her tiny hands wrapped around my hard torso. I saw her laying on her front which did hide her tits but that didn't stop me from gawking at that pretty ass of hers. The perfect ass made for my hard cock.I picked my dad's call and straightened up to relax my back against the headboard before placing the phone close to my ear. “Hey dad. You do know it's only 8:30am in the morning?” I asked feeling irritated but kept my tone in check. I had to play all my cards right until I achieved what I wanted. “I know very well what time it is son. But I called to congratulate you on getting this far.” My dad said over th
Sierra's POVMy mouth went dry in a sheer instant as soon as the news reached my ears. My mind quickly became hazy and could now only hear the faint sounds of applause all around me. Everything else couldn't reach my ears.Mr Cyrus' announcement kept on ringing in my ears and I suddenly felt that I couldn't breathe anymore. Everywhere was crowded adding to my body jolting like my lungs were desperately searching for air. “...Excuse...me,” I gulped before managing to speak towards Mason and slowly walked away from the venue. Some people bumped into me and kept on wishing me luck on my new journey towards having a baby. The more I heard it, the more I became sick to my stomach. How was that possible? A child. Having a child was out of the question for me. I managed to get away without throwing away suspicions that was clearly visible on my face. I didn't bother to know if Mason liked the thought of kids or not but I assumed he wouldn't because he couldn't stand me. It was the same for
I burst into the room raging like a firery furnace about to burn everything around me. I first wanted to end that bastard's life before my so called wife but I was in for a surprise.The bastard wasn't in the room except my wife who was batting her eye lids and smiling like a drunk. I growled in annoyance. I was beginning to imagine what everyone was thinking downstairs. And which smart ass was brave enough to mess with me. “Where is he?!” I gritted grabbing Sierra by the arm forcefully. She kept on smiling and chuckled a bit while trying to keep her eyes opened. I stared down at her boobs that were already seeping out from the confides of her bra. I looked closely to figure out that her dress had been torn from her neckline.I could tell she had been drugged and had no idea what was going on around her. And the fact that no one else was around when I entered only intensified my suspicions. Someone was trying to ruin my reputation.“O..oh M-my Husband is here...to see me? I...must be
Sierra's POVI was starting to regain my senses after Jeff forced me to drink some strong liquid. It had a bitter taste but the drink was wearing me back to my sanity.Once I was able to keep my eyes stable, I found a long cloth covering me from my neck down to my waist. The air outside was very chilly and the robe helped me to warm up. Then I felt a little exposed for some reason and looked inside the robe only to let out a shocking gasp. My entire face was pale and filled with evident shock as well as confusion. My upper body was bare and only my bra was able to hold my breasts that were almost out now. I was still gasping in horror before diverting my head towards Jeff who stood outside the car. My head was heavy and spinning at the back causing me to hiss. My eyes were still heavy but I could keep them open to notice my surroundings. I was beginning to take deep and raspy breaths. I felt my heart racing and wondered how I got to the car. Was I exposed like this while coming to t
Sierra's POV The car pulled over in front of the mansion. Heavy silence fell inside the car from my in-laws' home down here but I could also feel the intense air as well. I knew it wasn't a good sign. I stared at Mason who was silent all the way. He did nothing important related but only kept to himself. Something told me it was the calm before the storm and I wasn't sure if I was prepared for it. “Get out of the car.” His deep voice crashed against the silence that engulfed earlier on. I turned to him but gulped in fear seeing his angry face that said I dared to disobey him. I reached out for the door and opened it slowly before stepping out of the car. The second I stepped out, I jumped after hearing the loud thud of his side of the car door slamming shut. My eyes were closed tightly as my ears picked up his dangerously fast footsteps towards my side. “Aah,” I gasped and had my eyes widened in terror as soon as he spun me to face him. He caged me with his large hands and almost
I stared at Mason in horror. My eyes stung more with tears streaming down my face. My throat was hurting from sniffling and hiccuping but the man before me didn't seem to care about me nor what I was going through. “Please... don't do this,” I pleaded again using my other arm to cover my breasts. How could one be so cruel and not understanding of one's situation.“Why? What's there to cover now? Everyone has seen it all over the internet!” I shut my eyes immediately he yelled back at me. He held my chin harshly and forced me to look at him.“Open your eyes damn it! And don't make me repeat myself!” I immediately opened my red puffy eyes to once again see the rage that lied within his eyes. They were vicious and I feared what he would do to me. This was the first time he had groped me like this. He was never this cruel and dangerous with me ever before but tonight made me realize how important his image is to him and how he would destroy anyone that threatened to jeopardize his image
My stressed eyes remained awake all through the night and recollecting all the harsh memories from last night. His angry face was all I could see. My body was so exhausted and my muscles were stiff from lack of movement.I remained on the floor which was now adding warmth to me. I didn't have the strength to get up. My throat hurts and I felt it was sore already. I gulped still lying on the floor. His actions last night was something I never thought would happen to me. My breathing only got labored recollecting his touch on me. His touch was like a weapon ready to harm my body. My hands automatically went to my jaw and I let out a small hiss feeling the pain from the fresh bruise there. My heart picked up it's pace recalling his every words. He said he would come tonight to sleep with me but I wanted nothing but to be far away from him. He was a devil and I realized it last night. Sometimes I felt he was holding back last night. His dark eyes had me thinking if I was going to die b
Author's POVA little girl stared outside the car window from her side in the backseat. Her magical blue eyes couldn't help but admire the whole scenery of outside. The landscapes and mountains that peeked their heads from the horizons. The walkings of the people outside having transporting back and forth because of their day to day activities.She loved watching all of these and her eyes slightly lighted up when she spotted birds flying into the sky spreading their wings out. She knew their beaks were opened which meant they were probably chirping in this early hours of the morning. But too bad that she couldn't hear them. The birds were so far away and she couldn't hear their chirping sounds nor the people bustling around their car outside. How she wished she could hear all of these activities of life and feel like she was part of such a wonderful and creative world. Instead she always felt invisible because of her issue. And it seemed it had become a part of her.The car parked on t
I stared at my wedding gown that was hanging on the wall close to me. I was still in my white silky robe with her hair done perfectly in a neat updo. A hair pin laced with tiny shreds of golden plate stones was used to set my hair straight and perfect. It wasn't at all messy. My eyes were brighter than ever with the lovely bright golden mascara adorning around my eyes. I was seated against the huge pink vanity and the oval long mirror hung in front of me showing my beauty. I wondered how Mason will react in seeing me while walking down the altar.A smile formed on my lips when I knew this time it will be different. It won't be like the first time when we were both dragged into a marriage of convinience. This time we were marrying each other for love. This was my dream and I still couldn't believe I would definitely have a happily ever after. All my life I had never been faced with a man who truly loved me for me. My dates back in high school were only random and it was only on occasio
I was over the moon when my wifey came to me with the most wonderful news ever. I couldn't stop smiling and beaming from ear to ear. It was so beautiful and my heart leaped out and filled with nothing but happiness and admiration. I stared at her with my tear filled eyes looking down at her. She was an angel. A goddess made just for me. She had given me the best news ever and I was so happy and overjoyed.She came forward to cup my face and smiled before revealing her pearly white teeth in amusement as tears rolled down from her eyes. I could see the pain was long gone. It had all vanished into thin air and only happiness was seen all around her. I always saw the pain deep in her eyes despite the fact that she smiles and laughs all the time. But deep down she couldn't get over what the doctor had said at the hospital after her accident. She was beyond shattered and distraught and I feared she could do the unimaginable but she was my fearless woman. My queen. Even though the news had af
“What have you decided wifey?” Mason asked me. I sat on the floor resting my head against the bedside lost in thought. My eyes were already red and dry. I felt awful inside but it was good that I knew the whole truth and my reality. This was the reality and I had to embrace my reality.“I'll talk with her.” I said and held the bed to rise up on my feet. Mason grabbed me and helped me stand up before I looked into his eyes. “Will you come with me?” I asked and his lips curled up to form a small smile. He nodded and my heart felt okay and at peace. I knew he would always be with me and never leave me all alone. Despite the deception and lies performed to unite us, we overcame all obstacles and now we were happily in love with each other. Now I didn't care about what his family thought of me. I only cared about Mason and my family. I made my mind clear to only care for the people who truly loved and cared for me in return. I was done being weak and crying all the damn time and allowing pe
My lookalike that I had gotten to know by the name Sienna cupped my face as tears formed underneath her eyes. She had the same eyes as me. Her body posture also resembled mine. Our hair color matched perfectly. She was a carbon copy of me in the making and I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had a twin sister. Why was that even possible. Why didn't my parents say anything and even worse, where was she all these years? I had so many questions.“It's been so many years Sierra. Not once have I forgotten about you and wanted to see you again. I wanted to meet with you. I...tried.” She said sniffling and held both my hands and kissed them. I gasped once Mason pulled me away from her and made me stand behind him. His face was hard and vicious. His eyes were stoned on Sienna as if he could easily kill her with his angry penetrating eyes.“Stay away from her!” Mason growled and I stared at him shocked before turning my eyes back to my supposedly alleged twin sister who looked
The doctor and the nurses got in to check on the run over woman while Mason and I waited outside. My head was throbbing and I was feeling so unsettled. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had a lookalike. It was crazy and unbelievable. She looked a lot like me. I would even go as far as to say that we were twins but that wasn't possible as I don't remember having a twin. Am an only child.“Are you okay wifey?” Mason sat beside me with worry and I smiled with a nod. “We should go back to the hotel and let the police handle that....woman,” Mason suggested. I turned my head to Mason. “But we can't leave her at the hospital alone. I...” I saw Mason's face harden for some reason and he looked away upset. I wondered why he was upset at me. “Hey?” I held his chin and made him face me. “What's wrong? Did I upset you by choosing to help her? I couldn't just leave her here and plus, she looks like...”“She's nothing like you okay!” Mason growled stunning me right away with surp
It had been a week now and there wasn't any sign of Sienna. I had expected after the blast our picture caused all over social media, there would be some signs of her appearing out of th shadows but it seemed she was way too smart that I gave her credit for. I had to do something big. Something to close up this chapter of Sierra's awful past once and for all. And something that won't get Sierra hurt in the process as well. Of course I've always wanted to do this and was waiting for the right time. But it seemed that there wasn't any perfect time than today which was Christmas.I immediately dashed out from my thoughts when I felt Sierra's hand touch mine. I turned my eyes from the window towards her. “What are you thinking of?” She asked. I smiled and shooked my head. “It's nothing. Just rummaging through a few thoughts.” I answered making her smile as she neared me before she rested her head on my shoulders. “You smell nice.” I murmured earning a low chuckle from her. “Thank you.” I he
I was quick with my errands at work as I wanted to spend the whole day with Mason. Our work here in New York was done and we were soon to shift back to LA but I opt to stay back in New York for a while at least until after Christmas or probably the new years.I got a phone call from mom after I grabbed my coat heading outside from the office. “Hello,momma?” I said placing my phone against my ear and passed by Bree's office to see her and Darren conversing pretty well. It was the first time I had seen Darren so vastly interested in talking with a woman besides me and it made me smile to know that there were other fishes in the sea and not all about his ex. I just hoped he would realize it sooner.I didn't interrupt them and just walked past heading out. I had sent a quick message to Mason few minutes before I was done with my work. The message had two lines thicked blue and in a few minutes, a loud car honked outside our branch office.“How is papa doing? And you?” I asked as I opened
I got a startled awake from my wifey and she looked worried for some reason. I had to sit straight on the bed with a smile on my face. Now I didn't want this moment to end at all. Seeing her face in the morning before my eyes could even stare down at my morning wood. I could easily get used to this feeling of always waking up every morning to see her by my side.“What's the matter baby?” I asked and reached out my hand for her to come to me. She had her fists tightly round her phone but I didn't pay much attention to that. “Come here. Come to your daddy,” I said smiling and her smile didn't fully touch her cheeks. She came to hold my hand and I immediately nessled her unto my lap to feel my morning hardness. “Do you feel that wifey? I want to be inside you right now.” I said smirking but her enthusiasm wasn't appealing at all and I just had to ask.“What's the matter baby? Tell me.” I asked looking all serious as I pecked her long neck. “I want to...ask you something?” She began and I
