As Axton ordered, Sierra underwent a check-up at the hospital.

She stayed there until nightfall, uncertain of what to do. She hadn't brought her phone or money to pay for a taxi if she wanted to leave.

The doctor informed her that her shortness of breath was due to the smoke from the fire. There was no cause for concern, so staying overnight at the hospital wasn’t necessary.

However, she now found herself stuck. She had arrived by ambulance but couldn’t exactly ask them for a ride home, could she?

The only option was to wait until Axton came to pick her up.

She didn’t know what time it was or how long she had been waiting, but relief washed over her when she saw Axton entering through the main lobby doors. His presence meant everything was under control—the fire must have been put out.

“Sorry I’m late,” Axton said, walking quickly toward her. He went straight to the administration desk to settle Sierra’s medical bill, then returned to her. “What did the doctor say?”

“Nothing serious,”

    "Where is Sierra? She is not here?"Finally, the question came from his mother’s lips after she had arrived at the apartment and sat down in the living room. Axton didn’t know how to respond."She's staying at a friend's house because this place only has one room," Callie answered calmly while bringing two cups of hot chocolate from the kitchen. She sat down next to Axton, leaning against his arm.Axton reached for Callie and hugged her. He also kissed the top of her head, which felt so comfortable in his embrace."That’s the right solution." His mother immediately took a sip of the hot chocolate on the table. "New York has started snowing recently, and this hot chocolate is just the best." She said with a smile.Callie just smiled when she heard what her mother-in-law said."How’s your house? Is it really bad?""No," Axton shook his head. "Actually, we plan to go back home because we can stay in the left pavilion while the kitchen is being renovated.""Is that okay?" His mother looke

    Two days had passed since the argument between Sierra and Callie on the first day they moved into the pavilion. Since that day, Sierra hadn't had to see Callie in the house.Honestly, she felt guilty about everything she had said. After uttering those hurtful words to Callie, she immediately ran and knelt at her feet, realizing her mistake.Lately, she had been struggling to control her emotions, which made things harder for her. She thought the best way to handle everything was to avoid Callie for the time being.Yesterday, she had lost control when Callie emphasized that she didn’t want the child in her womb.Well, Sierra admitted her mistake and deeply regretted it. However, she couldn’t bear to imagine what would happen to her child because of her actions. That’s why she lost control and ended up regretting everything."I forgot to tell you that your lab results came out a few days ago, and I already picked them up. Everything is fine, so we don't need to worry about anything."No

    "This time, you've truly crossed the line, Callie."Axton's voice behind her was the only sound audible amidst the silence between them.Sierra lowered her head because she didn't want anyone to see her tears. She wasn't sure if she even deserved to cry when she knew she was the one who had messed everything up."Did I hear you wrong?" Callie sneered, "You're blaming me for all this?""What exactly do you want?" Axton retorted quickly."I don't understand what you're talking about.""You do understand!" Axton snapped, making Sierra flinch in surprise.She couldn't stay here.She was tired of all the fighting, and she couldn't bear to remain there while Damian looked at her with eyes full of disappointment."I'll explain everything," Sierra walked toward Damian, wiping her tears. "Let's get out of here," she said softly."Stay here, Sierra!" Axton stopped her."Why do you want her to stay here?" Callie responded angrily.Sierra covered her ears with both hands as they began arguing lou

    The only thing Sierra could do after all the chaos was to ask Damian to go home.To be honest, she forced him to leave.Damian had no choice, so he got into his car and drove off, his emotions taking complete control. At first, Sierra worried about the way he drove, but she hoped everything would turn out fine.She knew she had to break Damian's heart to make him hate her. Only hatred could save him. Because if Damian hated her, he would wish never to see her again. And that meant she wouldn’t have to cling to any hope regarding him.Now, she had to face the problems waiting for her.Yet another wave of chaos greeted her as she walked toward the pavilion.Everything was destroyed, and Callie was still screaming in anger while Axton countered her every word. This was unusual since Axton was always the one trying to understand Callie and her temper.As Sierra stepped inside, a thick book came flying at her, and she couldn’t dodge it. The edge of the book hit her nose, and she felt blood

    "Take me to Callie's room, Sierra." Callie's mother ignored what she had seen and chose to grip Sierra's arm, pulling her back into the hospital.Sierra felt like she had no choice. Her mind was in chaos, and she numbly followed, leading Callie’s family to the room she had left only moments earlier.Axton stood up as soon as he saw them arrive. His expression reflected surprise, but Sierra didn’t get the chance to say anything.Everything happened too quickly, leaving her feeling powerless.Callie’s family had clearly noticed her swollen belly and disheveled state, with bloodstains on her hands and clothes. But they were too panicked to fully process what they saw—or perhaps they deemed it unimportant in the moment.Fortunately, the doctor came out just a minute after they arrived. Everyone crowded around to hear the doctor’s explanation while Sierra stood frozen in the background.“Her condition is critical, and this is very serious. We’ll monitor her closely over the next 24 hours,

    Sierra felt every eye on her as she walked into Callie’s room. Some people muttered curses under their breath, though she couldn’t tell who. Keeping her head down, she fought back tears as she made her way forward. Her best friend needed her, and she swore she’d endure anything to be there for Callie."Why did you bring her here, Axton?" Callie’s cousin stood at the door, blocking her way.Sierra stopped, realizing that everyone in the room was glaring at her with disdain. Even Axton’s mother was present, though she couldn’t bring herself to look directly at Sierra—perhaps because it was too difficult to hide her disgust after Sierra’s betrayal."Let Sierra in," Axton said calmly."I will not let this woman into my daughter’s room," Callie’s mother approached, tears streaming down her face.Sierra swallowed hard. If her own mother were alive, she would’ve defended her against this kind of treatment. But now, Sierra had no one—not even her best friend could protect her."Callie asked f

    Every second that passed after Callie’s death felt like a painful punishment.Sierra didn’t know how to rise above the overwhelming sadness that tore her apart when the doctor announced Callie’s death.Everyone cried while holding Callie—urging Sierra to step away as she watched Axton still kneeling on the floor, unable to hold back his tears. Axton’s mother rushed over to hug her son tightly while his father stood near the door, arms crossed over his chest, his head bowed in grief."My daughter! Please save my daughter!" Callie’s mother cried out the loudest, refusing to let the doctor remove the medical equipment from Callie’s body, clinging to her daughter as if she could bring her back.Sierra collapsed at the corner of the room, hugging herself as she listened to the wailing of those around her. Her breath felt heavy, and Callie’s smile would appear before her whenever she closed her eyes.Then, after that, she lost all awareness of what was happening as darkness consumed her and

    Sierra stared at Axton in shock. Now, everyone was looking at her, and she had to clench her fists at her side because she felt incredibly nervous. What Axton was doing had shocked all the guests who had come. It was even more surprising than their reaction when Callie's family refused to allow her to give her last words.“She won’t do it, Axton. I won’t let my daughter’s ceremony be ruined just because—”“Come on, Sierra. Quickly, give your last words. Callie wanted this.” Axton lowered his head and ignored what the people around him were saying.Sierra shook her head because she didn’t want to ruin the ceremony. Her presence had already caused chaos, and she didn’t want to make it worse.“Didn’t you hear what the priest said? Callie chose this church and gave a list of people she wanted here without anyone else knowing. So get up and give what Callie wanted.”Sierra stood up hesitantly. All eyes were on her, and she could see the anger in Callie’s family’s eyes. But none of that mat

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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
