~DAMIAN~
"Yes, Mr. Winters, how are you?”
“I’m doing well, how are you, detective?”
“I’m also well, how may I assist you today?”
“My wife is missing.”
“Sir, Mrs. Winters is missing?”
“No, she’s not missing... I mean, we had a misunderstanding, and she’s nowhere to be found,” I explained. Why did he even care?
“Oh, alright, sir, maybe she’s with her grandmother, or...”
“No, she left the country, I just want you to find out which country she went to.”
"Okay, that’s simple. I can go to the airports with her information, and I’ll easily find out the country, but for that to happen, we need to have a case against her, the ports don’t give out personal information unless we have a case.”
“I understand, tell them she departed with my assets,” I thought quickly.
"Sir, that can be..”
“Just do it, detective, or are you tired of your job? You know I can..”
"Understood, sir. I’ll get back to you before the end of the day.”
“That’s what I thought,” I said and hung up.
Just as I sat in my chair, I heard a soft knock on my door.
“Come in,” I said, and the person walked in. It was Jane. I ignored her as I searched for a document in my drawer.
“Mr. Winters, you have a meeting with Mr. Fosters at three, I’ll come ten minutes before to remind you. Do you need anything?”
“Yes, if Cassie calls, tell her I’m in a meeting.”
“Alright sir. Miss Cassie called earlier, she asked me to remind you to go back for lunch.”
“Alright about that. When she calls next time, tell her I went for a meeting.”
"Okay, sir, anything else?”
"No, that will be all, you may go,” I said absentmindedly as my sight fell on a little squared image. I felt my heartbeat, then I stood up and put the little image in my pockets.
I started to exit my office, and I met Jane at the receptionist.
“Clear my schedule for today.”
“Sir your…”
“I said clear it!” I yelled, and she nodded.
"Alright, sir,” she said, sitting back in her chair.
As I exited the firm and entered my car, I drove at a fast speed, not minding the traffic. It only took me ten minutes to get to my destination.
“Mr. Winters, good morning.” Most employees greeted me as I walked in. I just nodded, my focus was to find Lily. I didn't even bother to pass by the receptionist as I walked straight to her office.
“Oh, you don’t even know how to knock?” She complained as soon as I entered.
“Why should I when I own the building?” I said, and she rolled her eyes.
"Okay, what do you want? If it’s about your girlfriend, I’ll have the one under me contact her about the day she starts and everything.”
“It’s not about Cassie.”
“I’m confused,” she said, unpleasantly batting her eyelashes.
“I see what you’re doing, I’m still your boss.”
“Well, here we’re not talking about the company, right? Don’t forget, I’m your friend too.”
“It seems you're forgetting that you’re just on Sierra’s side, you don’t even want to consider my feelings in this matter.” I tried to manipulate her.
"No, Damian, you know it doesn’t work like that. I always stand by the truth.”
“I know, listen, I fucked up, okay. I just need to know where she is.”
“No, Damian, You didn’t fuck up. With the way you mistreated her all these years, she never once said a word against you, she has been by your side despite your ill-treatment. Who will stand and cook for a man who loves someone else? She doesn’t get the right to decorate her own home, she stands in a space decorated in another woman’s style. That’s Sierra, because I, or any other woman out there wouldn’t. Even with that, she still stood by you, and now your ex is back after what she did to you, and you throw divorce papers at her face, the mother of your unborn child? Not even the dumbest person will do that. I know Cassie is my friend, but with this, I stand by Sierra.”
“I know, I’m sorry, I just...”
“I’m never telling you where she went, you can fire me or torture me, but you need to learn a lesson,” she sidestepped.
“Consider our friendship.”
“I could, but what’s making me furious is you asking her to abort the pregnancy that I’ll never forgive. You don’t deserve her, Damian, you don’t.”
“Lily….”
“I’m currently busy, if you have nothing relating to the company to say the door is that way,” she said, pointing at the door.
“You’re asking me to leave?”
“Yes,” she said and looked away.
I could unquestionably terminate her contract considering that the company belonged to me, but I didn't want to lose a friend and the only person connected to Sierra, so I obeyed her and walked out.
“Mr. Winters,” the employees all started greeting me again as I walked through the company corridors.
When I got in my car, I realized the sun was already setting. I took out my phone, and I saw that I had missed over twenty calls from Cassie. I played her voicemail.
“Damian, I don’t know what’s going on with you. I went to your office and didn’t find you there. Jane told me you went to a meeting, but I doubt it. That’s fine, but I’m giving you an hour to get home, otherwise, you will not come find me here.”
As the voice message ended, I started my car without hesitation and drove in the direction of my home. It didn't take a long time before I found myself inside my apartment.
Roses, soft music in the background, and a fresh scent. I stopped in my tracks as I looked around, and my eyes fell on Cassie. She was just in red lingerie, seated on the floor. She was looking at me with disappointment written all over her face. Then my eyes fell on the bottle in her hands.
“Cassie!” I screamed and ran to her side. I forcefully took the bottle from her hands.
“Let me drink,” she said in a sluggish tone.
“No.”
“Why? Why should I not drink? I recently got divorced, and the love of my life is busy chasing another woman, what am I supposed to do?”
“That’s not true, I’m here.”
“You were not here before, you were busy searching for her. You didn’t even care that I was here all alone.”
“I'm sorry,” I muttered.
“Sorry does not solve it. Okay, what if you’re sorry? What happens tomorrow? You will still leave me here feeling stupid and chase after her.”
"No, I won’t.”
“You’re only saying that now, what happens when you start missing her? I understand you’ve been with her for years, it’s not easy, but do you think it’s fucking easy for me too?”
She shouted, and I started to realize how much I'd been hurting her.
“Are you trying to punish me for last time?”
“No, no, I’ll never do that. Listen,” I cupped her face, and she stared into my eyes expectantly. “I’m going to be the boyfriend you want. I think I just lost my senses for a second, but I’m done. I’m done chasing Sierra. You’re my true love. I shouldn’t have done that.”
“I was scared, I thought…" She started to confess, but I placed my finger on her lips to stop her from saying any more words.
“Let’s get you to bed,” I said as I carried her bridal style. As I walked up the stairs, I realized the dinner she planned.
‘I will make it up to you,’ I made a mental note.
My phone started to ring, but I didn't give it much thought.
After I had placed her in bed, I took out my phone and realized it was the detective who called minutes back. I dialed his number back.
“Mr. Winters I found the location of Mrs. Winters, she's in…”
“Please don’t tell me, I’m not interested anymore. Thank you for your trouble.”
“I understand, sir, but she’s in...”
“Don’t tell me anything that has to do with Sierra, okay?” I made it clear, and as he understood, I hung up. Just then, my phone rang again, and I realized it was an unknown caller.
“Damian, I see you divorced your little wife. I should give you that, but don’t forget the deal, you still owe me.”

TEXAS, HOUSTON 2017~SIERRA~"Shit, where’s that belt?” I cursed as I started looking for my belt. It’s a challenge for us plus-size women to wear an office skirt without a belt, it makes you look unprofessional. When I found it, I placed it around my waist. It would also help in case no one wanted to hire a pregnant woman, as my bump was already showing. “I should register for a yoga class,” I reminded myself as I looked in the mirror. My hands unintentionally reached my bump. “We need to get this job,” I said out loud, and my eyes caught sight of my hair, it was copper, my natural hair color. Three years ago, I had to dye it to my husband's —well, now my ex-husband’s demand. Lily sent me a copy of the divorce last week. I’ve been in Houston for two weeks now. I have been looking for a job but with no luck. They all either wanted to be bribed or get into my pants. I was not going to lose my dignity, especially now that I was pregnant. After I admired my hair in the mirror, I gra

TEXAS, HOUSTON 2017~SIERRA~“Ms. Reid, we can cancel the event, we still haven’t confirmed with them.”“No, the event will go on.”"But, Ms. Reid, the ingredients will cost more than they are paying,” my supervisor insisted.“I know, but we are trying to make loyal customers, trust me, it is a good business move,” I told her and continued calculating the event budget. We finished with the paperwork yesterday, and now I am the legal owner of Wine and Dine. We agreed on the cost of seven hundred thousand, which left me with enough money to at least build this restaurant. There’s a wedding event taking place, and the budget forced me to use my funds.“I didn't inform you yet, but the chef quit.”“He what? Why?”“He got a better offer, Wine and Dine is broke and couldn't pay him a reasonable salary,” she said, and I nodded.“That's fine, just get all the ingredients we need and ask two of the waitresses to wait for me in the kitchen, I'll do the cooking,” I told her, as I couldn't affor

TEXAS, HOUSTON 2023~SIERRA~“Oh my gosh, Ingrid!” I was frightened as my daughter jumped over the colorful tires.“Don’t worry, Ms. Reid, she's fine,” Beatrice, my assistant, assured me.“Mommy! Mommy! I jumped,” she excitedly screamed."Yes, you did my love, now come to Mommy,” I sweetly said, as I didn't want her to continue jumping over the tires. These activities were fun, but I always got scared whenever I saw them having this much fun. I didn't want them to get hurt or for anything to happen to them."No, Mommy, I still want to jump.” She refused and continued jumping. Ingrid was my copy, she had Damian's brown eyes, but her facial features and hair were mine. She was outspoken, but I loved her dearly because of her confidence.My eyes landed on Nathan, who was on the hopscotch. He was very good at numbers, and he outdid his friends. Nathan was Damian’s copy, with his loose waves, brown eyes, nose, and all his facial features —exactly Damian. He was smart and careful. I smiled,

~SIERRA~“Please tell Lana to pack the kids’ bags, you can pack your bags too, we are going to Georgia,” I told her as she picked up the phone, which fell on the floor and ended the call.“Right away, Miss, should we pack for a month or...”“Just for a few days,” I said and turned to my instructor, who was waiting expectantly. “I'm sorry, but we have to cancel class today. I have to fly to Georgia for an emergency.”"Alright, I understand, Ms. Reid. Just let me know once you come back,” she said as she gathered her things."Yes, of course.” I tried to sound strong, but deep down, I just felt like crying. Nana was the one who raised me, my mother died years ago of stomach cancer. She was the reason I married Damian. My mother needed money for surgery, but my father was not willing to help. Damian was my father's lawyer. The time I went to beg for money, he was with my father, and the next day he showed up at the hospital and offered to pay for my mother's surgery only if I married him

~SIERRA~“Are you sure?”"Yes, Ms. Reid, it is a good financial move,” he said."Oh, are we doing formality again?” I joked as I sipped my glass of wine and sat on the stool."Well, I’m still your employee, and we are talking about business.” Yes, Gilbert was my lawyer and financial advisor. He also helped manage some of my restaurants while balancing his job as a lawyer and financial advisor. He told me he was living his dream life.“So what companies are you suggesting?” I asked as I placed my glass of wine on the table and focused on my laptop."Well, there are a lot of options. The Fosters need shareholders and investors, while The Winters desperately need shareholders.”“Wait, did you say The Winters?” “Yes, they are going bankrupt..”“Bankrupt?” I didn’t let him finish.“Yes, and now it’s easy to get a hold of their shares because their shareholders are selling their shares.”“Interesting,” I said as my mind thought for a second. It would be good to buy shares in Damian’s compa

~DAMIAN~“Are you serious?”"Yes, I’m serious, Cassie. I have a case, and it needs my full attention.”“So you’re indirectly saying I’m a distraction?”"Well, a little. I just need to be alone now, okay? I will catch up with you tomorrow,” I told her, ending the call. She was so annoying, every time she came over, all we did was what she wanted. She was very bossy and selfish. I will literally burn while she’s watching, and she wouldn’t even help. Well, I didn’t feel like cooking today, so I came up with an excuse of work.I poured myself whisky and stood by the glass window as I stared out into the night sky. I couldn’t help but wonder how my life would be if I were with Sierra, she was so sweet and loving. She let me do whatever I wanted. Not that Cassie is bad, I mean, she’s much hotter than Sierra, so I understood the difference. I was still distracted in my thoughts when my phone started ringing, and I realised it was the head of the financial department of my company, Ethan.“

~DAMIAN~“SIERRA?” I absentmindedly gasped as I felt my heartbeat beat faster."Sorry, I'm late,” she said as she sat across from me. I was in the head seat, and she took the second in the command seat.“Wow, she's very pretty,” Ethan whispered, but loud enough for all to hear. His eyes were on her, and shockingly, she had her eyes on him too.

FLORIDA, ST. AUGUSTINE 2023~DAMIAN~Ingrid did a good job keeping Sierra out, as it has been over two hours and they haven't returned to the house yet.The sun was setting and everything was perfect; we didn't need to do much, just the colorful lights, as the house was clean already.“Bottle is here,” Nathan excitedly said as he brought the bottle of juice. The bottle was the same as the one for champagne, and since they were too young for alcohol and Sierra was in that condition, we decided to settle for juice.“They are coming,” Atlas, who had been at the window, alerted us, and I quickly stood to my feet and hid the little box."Okay, wish me luck,” I said, and they both nodded, then Atlas switched off the light so that the candles could stand out.“Let us know when she says yes,” they said in unison before they hid behind the sofa.I was nervous. I've never been this nervous, even when I was handling court cases. I never got nervous, but Sierra, God, her reaction scared me.As I

FLORIDA, ST. AUGUSTINE 2023~DAMIAN~Whoever said love was a drug was damn right because I was high on it. Watching someone sleep for over an hour and simply enjoying the view is crazy because for the past week that's all I've been doing—watching Sierra sleep. It somehow gave me peace.After Sierra was released from the hospital, we stayed a week so I could sort everything.Ethan took over the head at the Winters, Sierra, and Thomas caught up as he left the detective work since Sam was not happy with it. Sierra gave them one of her restaurants in Texas, and they moved there—living in Sierra's home while Jane and her family moved into Sierra's mansion, the one in Georgia. Beatrice and Lana took mine as I wanted to express my gratitude for helping Sierra raise my children.After sorting everything, I booked tickets to Florida for a vacation since the holidays were in a month. We were still choosing a place to settle and start a family, as Georgia and Texas held bad memories, so we were

~DAMIAN~The first days we used protection, but after a few, we just couldn't control ourselves as we would get in the moment and only think of protection afterward. I didn't need protection; Sierra was my wife, but she always brought it up.Well, I was just so happy that we were going to have a baby—that Sierra gave me another chance.I walked to her bedside, kneeled, and started apologizing.“I'm sorry, I...”“It's okay; I know you did it to protect me.”“Still I hurt you; I should have told you; I shouldn't have pushed you away like that.”“And I understand; I forgive you; I do.” She was now holding my hands. “Please get up.”“Sierra I…”“Now Damian,” she demanded, and so I was left with no choice but to get up.“I'm really sorry; I promise that was not my intention; I was just trying to protect you and our kids. Ava called me; she threatened me.” She nodded her head in understanding and then squeezed my hand in a comforting manner.“Do you want to feel her heartbeat?” she asked, a

~DAMIAN~ “I was not planning to kill you, but...” Ava said as she walked close to Sierra, the burning matchstick still in between her fingers. My hands were now in the air, pleading with her. “Please… Whatever I have done, please just... Just let Sierra go, punish...punish me.” "Oh, sweet Damian, my cousin is in love,” she mockingly said, “but this is not about you; it's about her, her mother!” she yelled. “Actually,” she calmed herself, “it's about the both of you; your father did my mother dirty and her mother did my mother dirty, and so you are both going to pay.” It was not the Ava I knew; this woman sounded crazy. “Ava…” “Kneel!” I didn't want to argue, as I knew trying to reason would not work, so I kneeled my eyes on Sierra and the matchstick between Ava's fingers. “Good,” she mockingly said and blew to the matchstick so the fire could go as it was below her finger. “Do you want to hear a little story?” She asked as if I had a choice. Then she started talking about h

~DAMIAN~“Speed up!” I yelled, and Thomas agreed with me as he asked the driver to drive faster. Each second we were wasting was ticking as Sierra's life was in danger.When Atlas returned, he told me about the people who kidnapped him and how they told him that I was his father. I knew it wasn't the right time, but I took him upstairs to his siblings and told them the truth—that I was their father and that Sierra and I were once together.I didn't tell them about the contract as I thought it might be complicated for them, and so I told them about making a horrible mistake that made Sierra walk away. They were understanding, as they didn't judge; instead, they were happy that I was their father.I was not in a better mood, so I forced them to eat and helped them get ready for bed before I left Mrs. Woods with them as Jane had to get home to her baby. Sam and Thomas stayed downstairs with the officers, who came to help check for clues, and waited in case the kidnappers called—they thou

~SIERRA~Ava explained planning Damian’s parents' deaths because, as she said, the company and everything the Winters owned belonged to her. She explained how she got Damian on a drug so he would have terrible headaches. “I haven't been giving it to him lately, so he seems to be overcoming it,” she added. Then she explained using Carl to have her revenge on Mr. Reid since Damian’s parents were out of her way now."Oh, and the second man who left my mother couldn't be found. Turns out my so-called father wasn't useless as he took him down, leaving his son and wife in the streets.”“Son?”"Yes, your brother.”“What?!”“Ow, don't tell me the detective hasn't told you that you're his sister; that's why he has been protective over you; it's because you're his little sister.”“What?!” again I asked, as this was too much. How was it possible that Detective Thomas was my brother? Okay, nothing was making sense.“The man your father was cheating with was Thomas’s father.” She said, but I shook

~SIERRA~I haven't seen Ava since forever; she said to be in New York working with patients. How was it that she was here? My eyes roamed the room, and I realized, unlike where Lily took me, this place seemed like a home as I was on a sofa. I was almost relaxed, but when I saw that both my legs and hands were tied, I panicked.“W-what's going on? Why am I here? And…”“This is not the time for questions, Sierra; trust me.” Ava cut me as she picked a glass of wine on the table and took a sip before she placed it down and then stared at me.I still didn't understand what was happening, but something was clear: Ava tied my legs and hands, which meant she was the one who caused that accident; she was the one who kidnapped me.“Ava I…”“I will shut your mouth for you if you don't shut it; it's me to talk, not you.” She calmly said, and I nodded my head. Then she stood up with the glass of wine in her hands and said, "See, years ago, Rosemarie was just an innocent girl who didn't know the w

~SIERRA~I cleaned my cheeks and then walked toward my car. My driver was standing out as he opened the door for me. “To the station,” I told him as he waited for my instruction."Yes, ma’am,” he said and then started the car.Again, I found my hand traveling down to my flat belly. I never planned for this, and now that Damian didn't want the child, I was not going to keep it. I haven't seen myself pregnant for over five years, especially with Damian's child again.Or maybe he knew that I fell pregnant and he was doing the same thing he did years ago, running away. I closed my eyes and tried to focus. No, I couldn't let this distract me; I won't let it get in my way of finally having peace.“Ms. Reid,” the driver's voice shook me out of my thoughts. I then realized we had arrived at the station. “Should I come in with you?” He asked as he opened the door for me. I shook my head and told him to wait for me there; he just worked for me; I didn't need him to mix with my problems.When I
MR BILLIONAIRE’S REGRET Chapter 0241
~SIERRA~No, this was not happening; I won't let it happen again. So I banged once more and the door flew open, and Damian, who looked healthy like he was not just in a coma, opened and asked me to come in. I could tell by his facial expression that something was wrong.“Do you want anything?” He asked as I took a seat on the sofa. No, I was calm. I was not the same Sierra from years ago who burst when he started acting like this. I was a mature, respectful woman. I couldn't act on my emotions, so I asked him for a glass of water.He walked away to the kitchen, and my eyes couldn't help but roam the area; it was just the same as I left it, in Cassie's style.“Water,” Damian's voice made me turn to him. I took the glass from his hand and thanked him, then placed it on the table.“Okay,” I cleared my throat as he looked restless like he wanted me to leave. “The doctor called me and told me you left without his consent.”"Yeah, I'm feeling fine; why should he keep me there?” He sounded r
