“Are you maybe pregnant Sierra?” I froze on the spot and stared at her blankly. She gave me a narrowed look of suspicion. I opened my mouth slowly to speak. I wondered whether to tell her or not. I already had this feeling that I could trust her. I thought to say but heard footsteps before Mason's voice boomed into the living area.“Of course not Mrs Ford. My wife isn't pregnant.” My heartbeat quickened and immediately closed my mouth. I immediately tried acting all natural. Mrs Ford swung her head from Mason back to me. “Don't you want to have kids Sierra?”I spared a glance at Mason before choosing the right words to say. Of course I couldn't blurt out about my pregnancy in front of Mason like this. “Of course I do Diana. But...”“We've hired a surrogacy for that Mrs Ford. As you can see my wife doesn't want to go through the stress of nine months and hence we decided to opt for surrogacy when we're ready.” Mason walked towards me and sat by my side. Mr Ford also sat next to Diana a
My eyes squinted at a sudden light trying it's best to peek into my sleepy closed eyes. I stirred before groaning in annoyance. The light didn't seem to dim but got brighter penetrating and disturbing my sleep. I hadn't slept this much since the incident two days ago. That day tormented me and I couldn't move for two days. Seeing her all smiling with her idiot husband in front of the cameras made me realize the bitter truth. Her belly was also starting to show a bit and one could tell she was happy from miles and miles away. Did that mean she had lied to me. “Fuck!” I growled more before grabbing my pillow to place over my head before I popped my eyes wide open at the sound of her voice. Was I hallucinating or did I just hear her voice. “Rise and shine.” Fuck I was loosing my mind right now. “Mason? Are you up?” The voice came again. I threw the pillow and looked behind me narrowing my eyes a bit as I adjust to the brightness of my room. I blinked and looked at the woman standing i
“I don't love you anymore Mason!”My body shooked violently and I gulped with widened eyes. I stared blankly towards the wall in front of me. My hold on her arm quickly loosened and fell towards my side. Silence filled the space. I stood there without moving except the shooking from my body. I completely froze.I heard her tiny whimperings but my body was too numb to even move nor say anything. I heard her whisper something under hear breath. Am so sorry. I heard her say before I heard the door leading to the outside of the restroom. She ran out. I stood there for a few minutes. Her sharp words echoed and drummed inside my head. It didn't seem to leave me and I blinked coming back to reality. My harsh reality. One where no woman could ever truly love me because of my ties and connections with my family's mafia.Maria knew about my ambitions. She knew everything I wanted to achieve. And she was damn cool with it. What changed all of a sudden. I clenched my jaw and swiftly rushed out o
I didn't know if I sounded cheesy but I did want him to believe my words. Only I knew what was going on within my guts as I confessed I wanted to stay with him. My stomach had a massive flip and I held myself from putting up a tight face of someone about to puke. But this was the only way I saw to keep my baby safe. The thought did come into my head but I shooked the weird thought away. But again his stern warning about not having any kids rang in my ears forcing me to take this decision right now. He blinked but didn't let his emotions show on his face. He kept his expression all neutral that I was beginning to think if my acting was being seen through by him. He deeply stared at me and I felt his intense gaze looking through my clothes and directly into my soul. It was creepy but I kept my stance giving him my best smiles.In an instant he shoved me away and stormed out of my room. I blinked wondering why he left suddenly but I sighed out in relief. I closed my door and stared dow
“How dare you Mason De Luan?!”“Am so sorry sir. I tried to stop her from barging in.” My scared heavy breathing secretary rushed into my office afterwards clutching her hands against the door frame as she catched her breath. I smiled resting comfortably with my back being soothed by my relaxing comfy chair. I turned my eyes from Maria towards my secretary. “It's fine Betty. I'll take it from here.” I said calmly and Betty nodded giving Maria a weird look before slowly closing my door behind her as she stepped out of my office. I rested my gaze towards Maria who didn't stop clenching her jaw. I guessed she was now paying the price for having decided to throw me out like an unwanted dog. “Why did you do this Mason? How low would you stoop just to satisfy your sick feelings?” She spat out and I immediately frowned not liking her tone of voice with me one bit right now. “If you won't talk to me nicely then I can have security kick you out like a stray dog but I don't think that would
The doctor checked Mason's pulse while Diana and I stood close to the door giving each other support. I was shocked when Mason suddenly slumped and collapsed on the carpet. I wouldn't lie, I was a bit worried seeing him fall so suddenly.I eyed Diana with concern. She hadn't stopped crying for the past one hour. The doctor arrived about thirty minutes and had to run some tests on Mason as he wasn't regaining consciousness. The doctor even said it could be serious and we both held our breaths. “Will...he be fine Sierra?” Diana sniffled leaning more against my body. I smiled and assured her that her brother was a strong man. A heartless beast even but I knew he wasn't one to give up on life. He was that selfish not to even let the grim reaper take away his life. My words did so little to comfort Diana. She was the only child from Liliana who was close to Mason. They had a close bond that much I knew. She was in LA for a modelling shoot and thought to surprise Mason and I by paying us
I walked into my room and carefully hopped on my bed with fat tears around my eyelids. I sobbed more and muffled my cries into my pillow. I was afraid of my baby not coming into this world because of Mason. I thought I had managed to get through to him but how dumb and stupid I was. There was no way a man like him could change. I stayed locked in my room with my heavy eyes widened. I couldn't get a wink of sleep as worry engulfed my whole being. My baby's health and life was constantly slapping my brain numerous continuous times. I even said a short silent prayer to calm myself down but that didn't work.My eyes stung from crying so much. They were red and puffy. So many scenarios kept on popping inside my head and the worst of them all was Mason finding out the truth and forcing me to have an abortion. I shrieked on my bed at just that thought. My stomach did a nervous flip around making me feel extremely nauseated. I quickly rushed off of my bed and headed straight for the bathroo
I opened my eyes and wondered around. It took me a few seconds to realize what happened to me. I widened my eyes and panick began to surge through my body. I tried moving but couldn't. I turned around to find my hands tied against a chair along with my legs. My enlarged eyes frantically searched around for help but my eyes couldn't see anything. It was all dark and a peek of light entering the dark room from the small window at the top right of the building. A tiny sound of falling drops of water I heard from one side of the dark room. I was all sweaty and the heat inside the room was unbearable.“Help! Anybody! Help!” I yelled but only my screams echoed back at me. Hours passed and I was exhausted from calling for help. I was breathing heavily and my throat was porched. I needed water. I gulped thinking about why Mason's driver would do this. Why would he betray me like this. It made me believe that lately I couldn't just trust anybody. Maybe he was threatened but still he could hav
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
