~DAMIAN~
After Cassie confirmed she knew about the triplets, I felt so betrayed. Even though she said she just found out a day ago she was supposed to tell me, I left the house and went to Avas’ apartment. I told her about the triplets, and she told me she had just found out about them an hour ago. Again, I felt betrayed because if she found out an hour ago, why didn't she call to tell me about them since I was her cousin? I felt like no one in my life was genuine, all of them were deceivers, and even Jane, my trusted PA, hid it from me.
I was not going to spend another hour crying over betrayers. I called Jane and asked her to give me their school address, and she did. The next morning, I woke up early and went to the school, but upon arriving, I fel
~DAMIAN~I didn't need to second-guess who the person responsible for taking company funds was, I knew it was Cassie. I just didn't know the reason she did it. Adrian sent her half of the money she needed, why did she have to take money that didn't belong to her? But I had a question, a question only she could answer, and that question was: how did she get access to the company's funds?After leaving Sierra at the cafe, I drove straight home, as I needed to confront her. It took less than ten minutes to arrive at my house. “Maybe she should just go back to her apartment, I will care for her from there,” I said to myself and parked the car in the garage. I went into the house through the kitchen and called Cassie's name, but she didn't respond. “Cassie?!” I went to her room, but as I entered, she hid something under her pillow, stood up from the bed, and asked me to leave her room.“We are not together, you can't just come into my room without knocking,” she said, and I shook my head.
~DAMIAN~I didn't understand why Cassie had Sierra's photo. I removed the pillow to check if there was more, and I found a note. Reading it, I realized it was the note Sierra was talking about: “What are you doing?” Cassie came to me and tried to grab the photo from me, but I refused. “Damian, give it to me.”“What are you doing with Sierra's photo and the note? Where did you get this?”“It's not your concern.”“It is,” I said, standing up. “This is the mother of my children's photo, are you the on
GEORGIA, ATLANTA 2017~SIERRA~I took a sip of my drink before my eyes roamed. Everything about the day was perfect, sunny, classy restaurant, expensive wine, and soft country music in the background—perfect for a date, right? Only it wasn’t a date—well, maybe for my husband, but not for me. I placed my glass down on the table as my gaze fell on a couple who I presumed to be on their first date or maybe just trying to have lunch. He pulled a chair out for her, and she muttered something in his ear, which he giggled at, and he took his seat across from her. He took her hands into his, sweetly looking at her, and he started talking. My eyes wandered back to my husband, who was deep in conversation with his friends. When I looked at the two women, my husband’s friends' wives, I started to regret coming here. They were engaged in a conversation, talking about business and fashion; I didn’t know anything about it. I looked back at my husband; I was sure he had forgotten I was even here
GEORGIA, ATLANTA 2017~SIERRA~“Sierra, she’s back, everything between us ends today,” he said calmly.“Who?”"Oh, come on, you know who, don’t act stupid,” he said, sounding irritated. “The woman at the restaurant is Cassie?” I pretended to be clueless. I didn't want a divorce."Yes, and she’s back, you know what that means, right?” He looked at me, seeking confirmation, but I played dumbfounded.“What happens to us, what we’ve built?” “There’s no us Sierra, when are you going to get that through your head? I’ve never lied to you about my feelings for Cassie,” he said with no emotion in his eyes.“But you married me, I’m your wife now,” I muttered in a low tone. As much as I wanted to shout, I still felt a lot of pain.“That’s why I’m suggesting a divorce. You will be compensated for the years you’ve been with me,” he said, and just as I was about to plead, the door opened and a middle-aged man walked in. By his dress code, I easily figured him to be a doctor.“Mrs. Winters, how ar
GEORGIA, ATLANTA 2017~SIERRA~“We still don’t have a name, but hopefully we will make one soon,” I told her, and she nodded. “Why are you sleeping here? You can come with us and have the guest room, or why don’t you go to your grandmother? Does she know you’re here?” She asked."No, I’m fine here, thank you so much, Lily. My grandmother doesn’t know I’m here.”“You didn’t get a chance to call her?”“No, I would rather not,” I said and she nodded.“Should I come pick you up tomorrow?”"No, it is fine, I’ll find my way. Thank you so much, Lily,” I declined, as I didn't want to invade her busy schedule.“Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow then. Call me if you need anything. I have to go now,” she kissed my cheeks before leaving.When she closed the door, I felt lonely. I have always been alone. Damian never reciprocated my love, but just the thought of him being my husband filled that loneliness, now that he mentioned divorcing me, the loneliness was here. “He’s just nervous, he will come ar
GEORGIA, ATLANTA 2017~DAMIAN~When Sierra insisted on following me on a lunch date with my friends, I was hesitant. My friends never liked her—only Lily, but the rest didn’t. Wanting to teach her a lesson for being clingy, I agreed.We arrived, and as usual, my friends and I started talking about law. While Ava and Lily talked about women's things—brands, clothes, or whatever women talk about—Sierra looked completely lost, just like I expected. Everything went well, and then Cassie appeared. Of course, Ava mentioned that Cassie would return, I just didn’t know she was already in town. She called me days ago to tell me about her divorce. I just wanted to be there for her, I even offered her the CEO position of my company, as it would take a weight off my shoulders. Managing a business, being a lawyer, and being Sierra’s husband was draining.My heart felt at ease seeing her again until Sierra ruined it with her fake discomfort. Angry, I asked her for divorce just for the doctor to co
GEORGIA, ATLANTA 2017~DAMIAN~I woke up earlier than usual. I looked at the beautiful woman who was in a deep sleep. The sheet barely covered her body, her perfect ass was exposed, and I beat myself for even doubting or caring for Sierra’s leave last night. I carefully crawled on the bed to her side and started kissing her legs and she giggled.“Damian… I’m still not awake,” she said, half asleep.“I know, I’m just trying to cover up your body, I don’t want the people on TV to start gawking at my woman,” I said. She let out a small, attractive laugh. After securely covering her body with the sheet, I removed strands of her hair from her face. I tugged it behind her ear and kissed her cheek. When I was done, I got up and walked to the bathroom.I was already naked, so I just headed straight to the shower. I let the tap run as my hands ran through my hair. I took a bath net and started washing my body. When I was done, I closed my eyes to wash off the soap and that’s when I saw her
GEORGIA, ATLANTA 2017~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
