~SIERRA~I still couldn't believe it. Damian and Carl were friends, but if they were friends, why did he send me threatening messages, or was Damian asking him to do that, and why didn't he tell Damian that I had triplets instead of a daughter?“Are you okay? Oh, silly question. What do you plan to do now?” She asked, and I shook my head as I didn't know where to start. “Don't worry, I still plan on getting information from Cassie and Damian. I will add Carl to the list,” Lily said, and I nodded.“Why didn't I know about Carl? I do remember James, but Carl, why hasn't he come to the house once?” I asked myself out loud, but Lily answered.“Because Carl was not like James, I don't know what games he's playing, but I'm sure Damian is behind it,” she said, and I shook my head.“If Damian was behind it, then he could know I have triplets and not a daughter.”“Oh Sierra I know Damian better than anyone, and trust me when I say he's behind it because he is,” Lily said, and I nodded—arguing
~SIERRA~“Lana, take Nathan to the room,” I ordered Lana, who nodded and led Nathan away—-Nathan was not stubborn, in fact among my children he was the most mature and understanding one. I turned to Ethan, who had a questionable face. “He's not,” I said."Well, even a fool can tell he's Damians' child, their resemblance, does—does he know?” “Of course not. Can we go, or should I go back in?”“After you,” he said, and I walked out. He followed behind me, my heart was beating fast, with Ethan knowing, it wouldn't be long for it to reach Damian's ears, and then what? Damian would surely start fighting for custody. My driver was already ready to take us. “Can we just go with my car?”“I told you, it's not safe for me to go without guards, they will be in the car, and no one will even notice them. If you feel uncomfortable, you can use your car, and then we can meet there,” I told him. Although I wasn't willing to let him ride alone, I needed to convince him or even ask him to keep it to
~SIERRA~Lily ran to Cassie, maybe it was to try to calm her down while Ethan tried to hold my hand. I don't know what made him think this mere embarrassment would make me uncomfortable, because this just showed how desperate Cassie was."Oh, did you hear that? I also heard she is his ex-wife.”“Do you think they want to get back together?”“Whatever was between them is over now, she must understand.” I heard them whisper as if I were not just near them. I couldn't listen to their comments anymore, this was childish."Oh, are you sure you want to mess with her? I would take that back if I were you,” Ethan turned and said to one of the gossipers. The lady listening to Ethan looked at me before she shouted.“Ms. Reid!” She sounded as if she couldn't believe I was there. “She's one of the most popular businesswomen in Texas,” she said, and just like magic, everyone stopped talking and looked at me. Well, that was just for a minute, as again, they started talking, but not about stealing C
~CASSIE~Since Sierra returned, Damian has changed, he doesn’t touch me or even want to be near me anymore. Even after finding out I was pregnant, he just suggested we care for the child, not jump or celebrate like I imagined him to. I mean, a child is what he had forced me to have for the past years, and now here he was, feeling like it came at the wrong time, not feeling there was once he actually said it as he wanted to win Sierra back.Well, I was not just going to sit and watch him win her back, in fact, I made it my mission for him to fall back for me, if not me, then at least the baby, so I took it upon myself and invited people for the engagement party, even when there was no real engagement. I managed to convince Damian that this was ne
~CASSIE~It was the next morning. I usually wake up late, but today since I was meeting that mysterious caller, I couldn’t miss that for anything in the world. I went straight to the shower and took a bath. After the bath, I dressed up and prepared myself for the day. I had an appointment with the doctor too, and I wanted to go there early as the caller told me we would meet during lunchtime.After getting ready, I walked down, not expecting to find anyone, but I found Ava and Damian. “Ava, I didn’t know you were coming this early,” I said, and walked to them. Ava has never really liked me since years ago when I broke her lovely cousin’s heart. I walked to Damian and almost kissed his lips, but he turned, so my lips landed on h
~CASSIE~I cleared my throat before I asked, “So what's the plan? Do we go to Sierra's house and scare her? I'm thinking of threatening her with the kids so she can leave Georgia and fly back, to wherever she came from.”“Houston? And you think it's far enough for Mr. Winters? He will still fly to her,” she answered."Well, I will keep him with me, I will make sure he doesn't...”“Ms. Robertson, you need to decide, it seems you are not ready to work with us.”“What?! I am, I'm ready to take down Sierra and…”“You can turn around, get in your car, and leave. We will forget this ever happened because it is clear that you are not ready to step up your game.”“I am—I am ready to step up my game. I just thought that...”“There's no need for you to think, if you are going to work with us, all you have to do is follow instructions. There are people under us who think, we just do the tasks,” she said, and I nodded. “Good. I will call you to give you your first task.”"I…I will wait for your c
~DAMIAN~Since the engagement party, my life had fallen into pieces and there was no one to blame but myself, I am the one who brought Cassie into my life, if I could have stayed with Sierra and not fought those feelings my life would have been better by now, yes all those years I thought I loved Cassie but it was actually Sierra I loved—her innocence, kindness, and love, what was there not to love? I wished I could have accepted it, well now after the engagement party it would be hard not to marry Cassie as society would judge, the hope of winning Sierra again was gone, I think it’s time I accepted the truth, Cassie was carrying my child and Sierra was marrying another man, they even had a daughter, that I was sure of now as if she was my daughter then Sierra could have told me, she could have told me.I was looking in the mirror, working on my tie, as these thoughts came into my head. I don’t know when Cassie got here, as the only time I noticed her presence was when I saw her nails
~DAMIAN~I was already in the living room. I kicked the table in frustration. Before my mother died, her last wish was for me to get married. I already failed her, and now I was about to fail my father too, as his wish was for me to make The Winters successful. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Winters, but I suggest you stay home for at least a week before you can make an appearance here, just until everything cools down.”“I know, well, I’m trusting you and Lily with the company, is Jane there?” I asked as Jane hadn’t called to check on me, which was unlike her, she always called when I was an hour late for work.
