~SIERRA~

It's been a painful hour; yes, I've been checking on my phone for the time. I texted Lana to put the kids to bed since I earlier texted her to keep them up, but now it was already late and I was not planning to leave without hearing about Damian's condition.

“Are they performing the surgery today?” I restlessly asked Sam; I'm sure she was tired of answering that, but instead of annoyedly answering that, she smiled and stood to her feet and came to me.

“You need to calm down, Sierra; everything will work out okay,” she held my hands, and I nodded as that was the only choice I had—to stay calm.

“You know,” I wiped imaginary tears since I've been holding them in. “I haven't told my kids that he's the father,” I said, and she nodded her head, which showed me that she was listening. “I was so close to telling them today, but something came up,” I sniffed. “I just want them to have a father in their lives; there are things that a father can do that I can't.” Okay, this was the firs

    ~SIERRA~My response seemed to have gotten a different reaction from Sam, so I cleared my throat and tried to sound calm. “I mean, how is his case related to mine?” I calmly asked.“He lost his father in an accident; it was not normal as some parts were missing from the car, which meant his death was planned.”“Oh.”“Sad, well, he has been trying ever since to find the culprit; that's the reason he became a detective; he had been secretly working on his father's case. That night…” She paused; she didn't look comfortable, and so I nodded my head to show her that she could trust me. “That night when you went to get him, I was there.” I tried hard and recalled the night I went to get him as I wanted to speak to Damian. I was sure someone was there, as I remembered a female figure, so I nodded my head.“Yes I…I almost asked

    ~SIERRA~ After agreeing to be the CEO of The Winters temporarily, I came home since I couldn't see Damian, and sleeping there would be crazy. I arrived to everyone asleep, except Lana, who was in the living room watching TV, “Ms. Reid.” She quickly stood from the sofa, but I asked her to sit as I removed my heels. “Don't worry, I'm not hungry, and if I get hungry, I will go into the kitchen and warm the food, okay?” I said as I knew she stayed up just so she could help me warm the food. “Thank you, Ms.; um, the kids are asleep with Beatrice.” I nodded my head, then headed up as I took my phone from the handbag. I was very tired; it was like I hadn't slept in forever. I scrolled through my phone while walking up the stairs. I wanted to see if the media people had heard about Damian’s situation, which I knew they had, as nothing went by them; it was like they had cameras installed everywhere. “A successful lawyer and CEO of The Winters Enterprise tried to escape lifetime jail

    ~SIERRA~Jane, realizing the uneasiness in my tone, asked if everything was okay. I knew how much she cared for Damian, so I nodded my head and continued talking to the detective.“Are you sure it's his car?”“Yes, the wife confirmed it.”“Wife?”"Yes, Ms. Reid, are you doubting?” He sounded suspicious.“No, not at all; I’ll be there,” I said, but then turned to Jane, who was making sounds. She pointed at the door in the direction of the meeting room, which reminded me of the meeting, so I corrected my time with the detective. “I mean, after an hour or so, just keep me informed.”“Of course, we are searching Mr. Winters's home; I will let you know if anything comes up.”“Thank you,” I said, and with that, he bid goodbye and ended the call. I deeply sighed before I turned to Jane, who was expectantly looking at me. “Jane-”“Is it about Damian?" She sounded worried. I nodded my head, and her face fell. “God!”“It's nothing to worry about,” I said as I remembered Cassie; she must know so

    ~SIERRA~ But then, was it possible? I mean, Nana was also shot by the mafia; that's how this whole investigation started, plus Lily wanted revenge on Damian. What will Nana have to do with that? “Cassie, I think you're mistaken; Nana will never do that to me.” “You're right, I might have made a mistake. Okay, I have to go now. Talk to you later,” she said and bid goodbye before ending the call. I took a deep breath before putting the phone away. My forehead was a little sweaty, so I reached for my handbag and took the powder. I had to look professional, and makeup was a must, so I did a retouch and just made sure everything was well before taking a file and heading out. When I reached the meeting room, everyone stood up, and I asked them to sit as I took the head seat. "Okay, ready?” I asked and everyone nodded, but then Jane came to me and whispered in my ear that Alejandro was not yet here, but he was not needed in this meeting as I mainly w

    ~SIERRA~His words, ‘newest victim’ made me realize he still believed Damian was guilty. Well, I didn't want to convince him otherwise through the phone, as I knew Damian was not guilty–Cassie just confirmed my instincts, so I ended the call and told him I would be there soon.I asked my driver to speed up, as I wanted to be there on time, as the detective said they were leaving soon.It didn't take time to get there. I asked my driver to park outside as there were yellow lines all over Damian's house and a sign that said, ‘Police investigation in progress’ I wondered why they placed that sign outside for the neighbours to see, as even when Damian was all over the news, I didn't want his home to be treated like this. Well, silly me, as the crimes are believed to have been committed here. Well, I didn't waste much time, as it was already by Damian's gate.“I'm sorry, Ms. Reid, but we can't let you in. The police investigation is in progress,” one of the officers who were guarding the g

    ~SIERRA~I couldn't believe it. Why did they cut him off the case like that? I moved from the door and walked to the bed, not touching a thing as instructed. Sam then came in and asked me to leave as they were going to be busy checking the place, and I wasn't allowed to be there. I didn't bother asking about Detective Thomas, as I knew he had left.Reaching outside, I asked my driver to drive straight home, as I wanted to tell my children about Damian. I didn’t want to delay it any longer. Damian asked about them and asked me if I told them, but I didn’t answer him as I didn’t want to hurt him. I took my phone and dialed Cassie’s number. I was not sure she was going to pick, but I wanted to try, and she surprisingly did on the fourth ring.“Hi, sorry, I’m out shopping; did anything happen?” She sounded like she was in a crowded place.“Cassie? You’re shopping? What if you can’t afford your flight ticket or your hotel room? I’m not sending you any money, Cassie.”“Calm down; I’m just

    ~SIERRA~But I couldn't show it to them; if they saw that I was scared, then they would be scared too, so I pulled from Ingrid and Nathan and then turned to Atlas, who was still waiting for my response. "Okay, here is one thing about the media,” I started, and Nathan and Ingrid came close as they also showed to be listening: “They exaggerate things so they can sell.”“How Mommy?” Atlas asked, and I looked at Nathan, hoping he got it, but he shook his head, showing he didn't understand too. "See, they want to report things that are interesting to keep people interested just so they can sell their products.”“Sell?” Ingrid questioned.“I mean, they are given products from companies to sell, and to get people to listen. They have to make up interesting stories.”"No, Mommy,” Nathan said, shaking his head. “We know Uncle Damian might undergo surgery, but we are okay.” He said and looked at his siblings."Yes, because we will pray for him,” Ingrid supported.“Pray?”"Yes, mamma, prayer wo

    ~SIERRA~It's been a week. I got up early and prepared myself while Lana and Beatrice helped the kids. Nothing has been heard from Lily or Carl; even Gilbert went mute. Cassie was in India; she told me she got a job as she had finished spending the money. Well, I wished her all the best, and she seemed to be doing great. I was staring at my face in the mirror. The past two weeks have been stressful: managing the kids and company and being there for Damian and Ethan. Well, it seemed Damian didn't need any surgery as his condition was dealt with in a different way, which I still don't remember as I wasn't a doctor nor did I know anything about hospitals. Today was his release day, and the kids insisted on coming with me. After applying the final shade of lipstick, as I did the ombre style, I stood up and picked up my handbag before walking down. I expected my children to still be up in their room getting ready, so I was shocked to find them down and r

    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

    ~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
