I was in a nearby cafe and looking around before my eyes looked up to spot Mirah walking to our table with two coffees. She smiled and sat down handing me one coffee. “Thank you,” I whispered with my hoarsed and choked voice. I could feel my throat pang in pain whenever I would open my mouth to speak. I had exhausted my throat beyond reproach.Mirah sipped on her coffee and asked. “How've you been...““...Sierra.” I said with a tight smile and I couldn't help but feel very awkward right now. We didn't know each other at all and I only got to meet her for the first and last time back at the embassy. I never believed we would ever cross paths again. And her voice rang numerous bells inside my head. I recalled all the times when I had secretly heard her same voice on Christian's phone when he was alone in his study. It was mostly recordings of their conversations and back then how I couldn't help him out played deep in my mind.“Sierra. How are you? It's been years. And I don't think we'v
I walked into the room and she wasn't there. My mind darted towards the bathroom and I casually walked towards the front door.“Wifey you're in there?” I called out to her but didn't get any response. I wasn't riled up at all but also wasn't calm either. I called out to her again the second time but she didn't say anything and I opened the door only to find it empty. I narrowed my brows and wondered where she could have gone. I knew she wasn't well at all and that made me worry for her. I thought she had stepped out but the guards I put outside her room didn't say anything of her leaving.I was about to walk back outside of her room when my eyes passed the opened window with a loose end knot tied to the window railing. “What the...” I said before looking at the bed seeing the sheets had been removed and my mind thought of only one possiblity and my heart pounded a heavy beat inside my chest. “No! FUCKING no!” I said already heaving breathlessly in fear as I dashed towards the window.
I did give Christian a small smile from afar and he couldn't take his eyes away. He pressed his lips against Mirah's temples before he passed her a look and Mirah smiled turning to me. “I found her and now she'll stay with us for a while?” Mirah said and I felt that Christian would object and that I was probably intruding.“No, no, no,... Please I won't stay for long. It's only until I have my plans of what I plan to do next.” I quickly said but Mirah wouldn't hear it and my eyes were still glancing over at Christian who still was surprised to see me in his home. And Darren appeared beside Christian holding Juiliana as well in his arms. “You guys also know Sierra?” And Mirah nodded to Darren. “She's an old friend.”And Darren smiled at me. He was happy to see me and I was also happy to see him again and not in the worst of circumstances. Recalling our last meeting didn't give me good thoughts as it also made me think of Mason which I didn't want to. I wanted to forget him and move on
Mason's POVA few hours ago,I drove towards my security team's headquarters and was impatient hoping they had found her location. I only hoped that Sierra hadn't taken off the clothes she wore and throw them in a garage bin. I would be very angry knowing it will take more of forever to find her if not possible this way.I rushed in and met with Mr Yang. He saw me pacing towards him with long fast strides. I was told over the phone and hour ago that no name with Sierra De Luan or just Sierra had boarded any plane out of Los Angeles. And it meant she was still here and hadn't left. “Fucking tell me you've located her?” I asked agitated. I felt her slipping away from me as the time passed by. It had been more than five hours since I knew she had left.I saw Mr Yang curl his lips up in a smile and I guessed they had tracked her down. “Have a look Mr De Luan. Mrs De Luan is still in the city.” And I smirked patting Mr Yang in the back before he led me in and towards one of his experts at
“Please don't hurt him!” I was quick to say feeling so scared right now. Mason on the other hand latched his eyes unto mine and he didn't seem tense at all. He smiled at me to ease my nerves knowing I was practically screaming past the roof with my own fears. Tears stung my eyes seeing him right now. Why didn't he listen to me before?“Why?...” I whispered to him and bit my lip. The man pointing his rifle at Mason unlocked the door and pushed him out. I was quick to also rush out from the door and suddenly another black car arrives in front of us. Mirah rushes down from the car first and runs to hug me tightly before she looks all over me with worry. And I blinked feeling terrible for making her worry over me like this. My eyes didn't leave Mason and my heart pounded once Christian stepped out from the same car. What got me frightened was the way his jaw was clenched. His face was hardened and I could see his knuckles going pale and white as a sheet and his hard gaze was directed at M
Christian's POV“Is she doing fine, flower?” I asked Mirah as soon as she stepped out of Sierra's room. My little flower sighed as she shut the door behind her before giving me that strange look she always gave me when I had crossed my limits. She folded her arms and I found that pout to be always cute as it matched with her beautiful green eyes.I smiled slyly and rubbed the back of my neck trying to avert my gaze from her but she spoke suddenly. “Why did you have to beat him badly like that Chris?” She demanded and I raised both my hands in the air feigning innocent. “I didn't touch him at all flower! My men were the ones who fought him. The idiot was proving too stubborn and my men got upset and thrashed him...” And she blinked batting her lashes and raised brows cutting me off. “Thrashed? You call that just thrashing Chris, my God! They almost killed the poor guy.” And I narrowed my brows at her. “Poor guy? That bastard dared to point a gun at you and Serena! Thank goodness my gi
“Why did you pull such a crazy stunt Mason? I would have died if something happened to you.” I told him and he only smiled before looking up to meet with my eyes with a little bit of guilt. He reached out his hand and I was quick to hold his hand into mine. Then our eyes met again and he said. “Am sorry wifey. Am sorry for having put you through all of these in just one night. But it did happen and am sorry for that.”“Why didn't you fight back? I noticed not even one of Christian's men got a mere scratch on their faces but you were badly beaten up. Why did you...” My voice was soon beginning to crack and a soft sniffled accompanied with a light hiccup left my mouth. I couldn't help but look down at his frostbites all over his body. His face was still pretty damaged. His once perfect nose was now crooked and scars lined on one side of his cheeks. He looked so poorly in his appearance and it was me. It was all on me for his perfect face having to be this disfigured badly.I felt him sq
Two Months Later...I walked down the streets at night. There were little showers of snow falling down. I hid my hands into the confides of the pocket of my long cream colored coat. My hair loosened and being blown by the cold wind as bits of snow glued to strands of my hair. The weather was cold and it usually worsened at night so I had my ear muffs on. I smiled as I walked in my heels and stared at the decorations on the streets.So many trees had been beautifully decorated with so many little lights that sparkled under the dark night. Even the moon wasn't to be seen tonight. I even smiled more when my eyes settled on a group of little children happily placing toys unto the Christmas tree branch. Central Park was full with people gathering around to decorate the biggest Christmas tree of all that was to gain many attention in a few days time. Everyone was excited and prepared for the festive season that was only a few days away.The kids kept on giggling with ultimate excitement as
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
