I fluttered my eyelids before the ceiling came into view. I blinked a few times and immediately felt my body tight. I frowned noticing the medium chandelier in the middle of the ceiling. I recognized it easily. I was in one of the guestrooms. I scanned my eyes to my left to finally take it all in. I was in my mansion by the beach.How did I get here? Last I recalled I was tumbling inside my car while it turned over on the road. I lay on the bed feeling a bit lighter headed before I picked a familiar voice. It was her?!I looked ahead of me and found a figure by the end of the bed. It was her. Her hair was covering her face and she seemed like she was whispering. This didn't make sense. I thought the worst had happened to me and had already signed to my fate. I was taught to embrace death when it was near and I did just that. And now I was back in my home. I still heard Sierra whispering something and couldn't really pick out what she was talking about. But it sounded like she was tal
“Are you going to serve me that?” I asked making my presence known. She loudly gasped and jumped almost slapping the butter off the kitchen island. She turned to look towards me. “You scared me!” She held her chest before sighing out in relief. She then frowned after picking up my words earlier and looked down on the plate that had buttered toast and a black coffee by the side all on a wide tray. She shot her brows at me and asked. “Why? What's wrong with it?”I leaned more against the door frame and smirked wanting to annoy her. “I hate toasts especially if I haven't eaten for hours. I want a hearty meal and not that.” I pointed at the plate and scrunted my brows in irritation towards the toasts. She glared at me and for the first time I didn't find her glaring to be annoying but...cute. I only ever wanted to have a cute banter with Maria and no one else. My smile suddenly vanished and my lips were thin and straight. What was I doing right now. I looked down and heard Sierra ask. “
Even after hours Sierra wasn't doing okay. She still trembled and her hands were constantly shaking. She had full sweats all beaded around her forehead and chest. She hiccuped often and her eyes went pale from being widened for so long. “...I...killed him?...” I held her close kissing her temples while trying to comfort her. She laid her head against my chest and kept on shooking her head all the time while tears dared to spill from her eyes. My body tensed as well seeing her almost about to break down and have a panic attack. I hissed slightly while trying to move and also not wanting to tear my skin more by stretching the bandage on my abdomen. I had called my doctor immediately a few hours ago and gave him my location of my home by the beach side. While I was getting treated urgently my eyes didn't leave Sierra's side. She was shaking like a leaf deprived of both sunlight and rainfall. My heart clenched hard against my chest wishing she didn't have to hold that gun and yet again
Having no choice in the matter and the situation at hand. I only see a gun lying on the tiled floor close to where I hid behind the pillar. That man was having overpowering Mason and his abdomen was being stabbed with the small pocket knife. Even though he was drowning in pain he didn't let go of his grip around the intruder's neck. He kept on fighting and holding on even though it wasn't going to last. I couldn't....I couldn't bear to watch him being stabbed while I only hid behind a pillar like a coward. It was because of me he got distracted and the intruder seized the opportunity and took out his pocket knife swiftly to pierce it into Mason's stomach area. My widened eyes shot at the gun. It was blurry but I could still see the gun so close to me. Like it was calling me to it. I had always feared weapons and never wanted to use them ever before but seeing Mason in that state crushed me. He only gritted and not once let out a loud sound from the pain. He held it all in.No! I ca
I turned to my left checking if the yellow dress was holding up perfectly against my body. I stood in front of the mirror and couldn't help admire the stunning dress. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in the wardrobe of Mason's walk-in closet.The dress was beautiful and stunning. I knew the brand and it was among the latest collections just as Mason said. I didn't know why my smile didn't fade. The thought of going out to dinner with Mason was making me feel all flustered. I was going nuts right now. No matter how hard I tried not to see this as something to smile about, I just couldn't help myself but feel this was a small stepping stone from his part. I checked myself once again and liked how the yellow dress fitted and hugged my body perfectly. My curves were shown being hugged well and my hair was moved to one side with a bit of volume I added. I wore silver heels with a small shining necklace around my neck. I applied little makeup and highlighted around my cheekbones.
“How are you?” I asked Darren who looked so eager to have a conversation. “Am okay and even more okay having met you once again.” He replied and I heard a deep clearing of throat coming from opposite where I stood. I darted my eyes to meet with Mason who had an indifferent expression on his face. I blinked before putting out a tight smile. “Mason meet Darren Roosevelt. He's the man who helped me save you yesterday.” Mason turned to look at Darren without any smile on his face. I had my face downcast for some reason because I felt something would go wrong. “A pleasure. Am her husband Mason De Luan.” I raised my head to meet Mason extending his arm for a handshake. “The pleasure's all mine Mr De Luan. How are you feeling right now after the accident?” Darren asked. And Mason plastered a faint smile on his lips before he responded. “As you can see am doing perfectly fine. It's all thanks to this woman in front of me. She took care of me.” He moved his eyes to rest on my face and I coul
“Fucking speak Sierra!” He said and I gulped nodding my head. “I'll tell you. Mason, am...”Then his phone rang interrupting me but he didn't seem to pay any attention towards his phone. I on the other hand looked down to his pants that his phone vibrated from. “Eyes on me Sierra! Spill it out.” I looked back to him and gulped. His phone had stopped and I gathered my courage to speak. This was taking a lot from me because I didn't know how he would react to me being pregnant and expecting his child.His focus and attention with not answering his phone made me feel he might have a different reaction towards his news of the arrival of his child. “Sierra!” He drew my name showing his irking and impatience.“I have to tell you that am p....” Again his phone buzzed in his pants pocket and he cursed loudly. “Fucking hell!” He gritted and I said. “You should answer it Mason. It might be important.”“No! Say what you want to say.” Mason said ignoring the ringtone. I shooked my head. “Um...No
Mr Cyrus smiled afterwards staring at me. I was still rooted to my spot and couldn't move. I felt the spot my feet were refused to unglue my feet from the spot. “Congratulations my dear. It finally happened.” He said before slowly rising to his feet. A servant I didn't recognize before rushed out of nowhere to help him stand. I was speechless. I thought none of his family members knew about this secluded beach mansion of his. Or maybe his father got to know from somewhere.The servant helped him and he came to me before wrapping me in a tight hug. I didn't reciprocate the hug and just kept staring blankly. How was he able to tell I was pregnant from just a glance. And Mason on the other hand was totally clueless. He pulled away and had his eyes twinkling in admiration as he looked at me. Why not. After all his long term wish had finally come true. That was the whole reason for the existence of my marriage in the first place.I pressed a small smile that barely reached my dimples and
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
