"Do you know how much I hate coming to this office?" Callie murmured softly as she walked alongside Sierra.Sierra swore that nearly everyone they passed turned their heads twice upon realizing that Axton accompanied Callie… and herself today. Who knew what other rumors Sierra would hear later? She couldn’t wait to find out."This is your husband's office. You know that, right?" Sierra whispered back while continuing to walk with Callie holding onto her arm. Rather than walking with her husband, Callie preferred to walk with Sierra, as they had been doing for years."There are so many of his cousins and family members working here. And I don’t like any of them," Callie said, rolling her eyes."You know, I used to think Axton’s mother was mean when I heard your stories. But after meeting her yesterday, I don’t think she’s that bad. She seems to care about you a lot, Callie."Sierra walked slowly because her leg still hurt, and Callie matched her pace without complaining, leaving them s
Sierra closed her eyes as she turned to see Mr. Smith standing there—looking at her and Axton in an entirely inappropriate situation for a boss and his secretary.Sierra pulled her hand away from Axton, who finally let go. She stepped back, creating the proper distance that should always exist between a boss and a secretary."Can I have a copy of today’s meeting documents? I need to review them further," the man asked, without acknowledging the awkwardness of the situation.Sierra wasn’t sure whether to feel relieved or guilty."Of course, Mr. Smith. I’ll send the report to you," Axton replied. "If I may ask, could I send the report directly to you without going through your secretary?"Axton had clearly lost his mind.Sierra cleared her throat, giving Axton a signal to stop whatever he was about to say."Is there a problem, Mr. Scott?""No, none at all," Axton replied, shaking his head.Sierra sighed in relief."It’s just that I noticed your secretary often makes things difficult for
Sierra moaned when she felt Axton's hand slip through her work skirt and touch the private part of her body that he had touched last night with his fingers. His hands pulled her skirt up to gather at her waist, then slipped down the panties she was wearing so that his fingers could touch it freely.The atmosphere of the office forced her to hold back every moan that was on her lips, but what Axton was doing felt like he was encouraging her to moan loudly.“I want it,” Sierra murmured as she looked up at Axton and wrapped her arms around his neck.Axton knew what she meant, and they were both ready for penetration.Sierra used her hands to rest on Axton's shoulders so that he could push in easily. She had to bite her lips to hold back her moans.“Not so fast, Sierra,” Axton murmured as he grasped her waist—moving her at the tempo he wanted.Sierra throws her head back when Axton uses his lips to suckle the tops of her breasts—sucking on them with his lips and his hot tongue.“Ah! Ahh!”
Sierra swallowed hard as she looked up and saw Damian sitting on Axton’s desk, frowning.A few seconds later, she glanced down, checking her appearance, relieved she had straightened up her outfit beforehand. She needed to think fast and say something to break their awkwardness.“Oh, hi,” she said with a quick smile, then turned her gaze to Axton, who was seated in his chair. “Thank you for letting me use your bathroom. I’m sorry for interrupting your time, Mr. Scott.”“Of course, Sierra. You’re welcome to use it,” Axton replied smoothly, playing along with her lie, much to Sierra’s relief.“Thank you,” she nodded. “Would you like me to get you some coffee or something else to drink? There are some new beverages in the kitchen. Maybe you’d like something, Mr. Damian?” She alternated her gaze between Axton and Damian. Truthfully, she glanced at Axton for less than a second, keeping her eyes mostly on Damian to avoid making direct eye contact with the former.“No need, Sierra,” Axton an
Sierra had to hold her breath when she realized that Axton was very close to her lips.Her eyes closed when she felt Axton kissing her—pecking her lips roughly and demandingly while his hands were on the back of her neck and holding her head back from breaking their kiss.At first, Sierra tried to stay unaffected, but just as one of Axton's hands landed on her thigh and lifted her skirt, she began to lose control.Axton rubbed her inner thighs and moved closer and closer to her private parts, causing her to let out a moan.She could feel her panties getting wet, and it was a very embarrassing thing for her.Axton slipped an arm around her waist and brought her up onto his lap—making her have to sit right on the evidence of his arousal pressing against her under her panties.“Ah,” Sierra closed her eyes as Axton suckled the tops of her breasts.Her clothes felt tight because Axton didn't take them off properly. He only undid the top 3 buttons and removed her brassiere from her neck.On
Axton's mother's question still lingered in Sierra's mind the following day, causing her to reflect silently after washing her hands in the office restroom. There were a few women around, but she wasn't familiar with them.After finishing a meeting in the conference room, she stopped by the restroom before heading to the first floor for an important meeting with Axton. They needed to arrive before lunch, and she felt relieved to have a lot of time since the previous meeting ended earlier than scheduled.After finishing up in the restroom, Sierra quickly walked out. She needed to contact Bella to inform her that the documents she had handed over yesterday afternoon were revised and submitted to Axton. However, the man had been too busy all morning to review them.Unfortunately, Sierra frowned upon realizing her phone wasn't in her bag.Damn. It must have been left in the restroom.“I swear I heard moaning coming from Mr. Scott's office yesterday afternoon. And when I checked, Sierra wa
Sierra was seated at the dining table in the morning when Axton entered the dining room and sat at his usual spot at the head of the table.Normally, Axton’s mother comes first, followed by Callie and then Axton. However, Sierra couldn’t understand why she had to be stuck with Axton this morning, especially after they had stopped talking to each other for four days.Axton said nothing and buried himself in his newspaper. Meanwhile, Sierra took out her phone and began replying to several work messages that had popped up in her notifications—even though it wasn’t office hours yet.“You’re very busy, Sierra,” Callie remarked as she entered the room. She chose to sit across from Sierra, meaning Sierra would now have to sit next to Axton’s mother, who had coincidentally arrived at the same time as Callie.“Apologies,” Sierra quickly put her phone away as the staff arrived to set up breakfast.As usual, the maid prepared various breakfast options, and everyone was free to take whatever they
FlashbackFour years ago…“I heard you helped Axton pick out our engagement ring,” Callie said as she placed several paper bags on the table after arriving at the café where they had planned to meet for lunch.Sierra had been waiting for ten minutes. When Callie didn’t show up, she pulled out her laptop and started working on unfinished tasks.“Do you like it?” Sierra asked, glancing up from her laptop, her fingers still typing without pause as she had memorized the keyboard layout by heart.“This is the most beautiful ring I’ve ever had?” Callie smiled as she admired the ring on her finger.Sierra quickly shut her laptop after finishing a task. Callie would close it forcefully if she didn't, risking her unsaved work.“I’m glad you’re happy,” she said with a smile.“I bought all of these as gifts for you. Don’t argue or protest. I don’t want to hear, ‘This is too expensive, Callie,’ or ‘You shouldn’t have spent your money on this, Callie.’ I mean it!” Callie pushed the paper bags towa
Lately, Sierra had grown fond of gardening. She enjoyed planting flowers, and since she had a spacious backyard, she was free to do whatever she pleased there.After returning from their honeymoon across various countries, she had already planned a beautiful concept for her backyard. Her mother used to love gardening, even after coming home tired from work, though they didn’t have an adequate plot of land to do so. Now that Sierra had better opportunities than her mother ever had, she wanted to honor that hobby—bringing something her mother loved into her new home.When Sienna was with her grandmother, Sierra found herself with free time to indulge in something she enjoyed, keeping herself entertained so she wouldn't feel bored. Occasionally, she would step out to purchase gardening tools and thoroughly enjoyed those moments.In the past, she couldn’t afford this kind of relaxed lifestyle because she always had a demanding schedule. Since college, she’d been accustomed to working part
Axton made Sierra leave the United States for a honeymoon in Europe one month after their wedding. He didn’t tell her where they would go or how long they would be on vacation, leaving Sienna with her grandparents. He only said that he had everything planned but wanted it to be a surprise, so the only thing Sierra had to do was to look beautiful every morning and look forward to each surprise he would give.This morning, they woke up in Norway after spending the night watching the beautiful Aurora Borealis. It felt like a dream—a place so beautiful it seemed unreachable by humans. But Sierra was there with Axton, and it was a truly wonderful experience.Then, in the night, they traveled to Switzerland and stayed there for an unknown number of days, visiting places they would explore.“I can’t believe I’m unemployed and traveling the world with you,” she commented while standing near the window of the villa they were staying in.The view of nature there was so soothing to her eyes. Eve
Sierra and Axton had agreed to host a simple wedding celebration attended only by close family and friends. Most of the guests were Axton’s family and friends, as Sierra didn’t have either.Well, she had invited Andrea—if the woman could even be categorized as a friend. And Damian…Actually, Sierra wasn’t the one who invited Damian. It was Axton, which had completely surprised her.“To my daughter-in-law, Sierra Scott, I love you, pretty girl,” Axton’s mother said, blowing an air kiss and smiling warmly. Sierra laughed as she stood next to Axton.After all the formal wedding, it was time for speeches from the couple’s closest people. Sadly, Sierra had to remind herself once again that she had no parents or close friends to speak for her.“I always wished I could have met Sophia, Sierra’s mother because she raised such an incredible woman with all her strength,” Axton’s mother began. “Sierra is a passionate woman with a beautiful perspective on everything in the world. She loves everyo
Sierra stared at her reflection in the mirror, disbelief evident in her eyes.It was hard to accept that all of this was real. But of course, she wasn’t dreaming as she stood there in her wedding gown, her face adorned with flawless makeup. She was almost too afraid to touch her own skin, worried she might ruin the carefully applied look.“You look absolutely stunning,” Axton’s mother said, wiping tears from the corner of her eyes as she admired Sierra standing in front of the mirror. “You are the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen.”Sierra smiled and turned her head slightly. “Don’t exaggerate, Mom,” she replied, taking a deep breath. “I feel unsure about walking out there. What if people judge me?”The woman immediately took her hand, looking at her with genuine warmth. “When Callie—the most important person in your life—gives her blessing for what you’re about to do, why should you care about what anyone else thinks?”Sierra had read the letter Callie had given her. She must have
“I’m here,” Sierra said softly.A week after receiving Callie’s letter and all the gifts the woman had sent her, Sierra finally decided to visit Callie.“I also stopped by the store you worked with, just to thank them,” Sierra said, taking a deep breath as she sat down on the damp ground of Callie’s grave, ignoring the possibility of her skirt getting dirty. “They were confused, looking for me at your old house. I don’t live there anymore, Callie. I moved after giving birth because Axton thought it would be better for us to find a new home. Staying there made it hard to move on, constantly reminded of you.”She glanced at Axton, who was walking toward her from a distance.Today, she wasn’t alone. Axton and Sienna had come with her. But when they arrived, Sienna wanted to breastfeed, so Sierra left them in the car. Axton could handle her to help her drink her milk, and it wasn’t an issue for him.“I’m sorry I didn’t realize how much you cared for me and Sienna. I thought you were angry
Sierra couldn’t blink, and it felt like time had stopped for a moment. Her body felt stiff, even though the only thing she desperately wanted to do was run away.What Damian had said entirely left her at a loss for words. If she were honest, those words moved her deeply, making her feel even guiltier toward him.That wasn’t what he should have said. Damian should have angrily cursed at them for causing a scene in front of his apartment in the morning. He should have... He could have said something harsh to her if he truly wanted to show how upset he was with everything.But instead of doing that, Damian chose to say something kind—words that should never have come from someone who had been wronged.Thankfully, Axton could read her mind well enough to step forward, grab her hand, and lead her away from there.“Let’s go home!” he said, walking briskly.Of course, Sierra followed Axton. She walked without turning her head because she didn’t want to see Damian again.“I never knew that Da
This morning, Sierra cooked breakfast for everyone because she knew that the maids in her house must be exhausted after participating in last night's party. She didn't just prepare breakfast for her family but also for the entire staff."This is a simple menu, but I hope you'll like it," she said with a quick smile. "I'm not great at cooking, but I made sure it's safe to eat." She brought the food to the dining table near the kitchen. Usually, the maids and workers gathered there to eat together, which is why Sierra had come in now."You really shouldn't have gone to so much trouble. You must be exhausted after last night's party," said one of the staff.Sierra waved her hand with a playful smile. "Please, don't be so stiff when talking to me. If I'm tired, then you all must be tired too. This is just a small thing I can do. But this afternoon, I'll ask Axton to buy food for us all so you don’t have to cook.""Oh God, looks like this party made you happy," Percy commented casually, un
Sierra felt much more relaxed once she was back with Axton and Sienna. Of course, they were still the center of attention since it was their party, but now she didn’t have to stand alone in the middle of it all.“I don’t know what to give her, but she seems to like everything I give her,” a middle-aged woman, whom Axton introduced as his aunt, handed Sierra a large paper bag with the logo of a luxury brand.Sierra was quite stunned by this, but she quickly nodded and offered a polite smile. “Thank you for taking the time to visit Sienna. I hope you enjoy the party tonight.”“Well, of course, I’m enjoying it,” the woman smiled. “Isn’t Alicia the one who organized all of this? I’ve been to every one of her parties, and I can always tell which ones she’s organized. And I can say this one is definitely hers.”Sierra turned her head toward Axton and smiled again. “She put this together in just three days, and it amazes me.”“She’s a legend when it comes to parties in New York,” the woman c
Sienna’s bedtime routine often started with the family gathering in the living room after dinner. Percy and Bethany would prepare light snacks, and once Sienna fell asleep, Axton’s parents would head back to their home.“I’ve been thinking about this since Sienna was born,” Axton’s mother began with a warm smile, holding Sienna close in her arms. “But things have been quite hectic lately. I just wanted to spend as much time as possible with this beautiful girl. However, all our relatives and acquaintances keep asking about her, and I don’t want us to waste too much time hosting them one by one.”Sierra frowned slightly, resting her head on Axton’s shoulder as he held her hand and played with her fingers.“Some family members managed to visit the hospital, but others haven’t had the chance yet. They keep asking me when they can come, but I don’t know when to let them. I’m worried they’ll take up too much of our time.”Sierra’s frown deepened, but she remained silent.“So, what are you
