Chapter Forty-Six
A SURPRISE VISIT
Dressed in a pale blue skirt suit, Sierra waited for Elijah and his associates to exit the airport terminal, checking the time on her phone she figured they would have landed already.
She was surprised when she received word from Cilla that he was arriving on Monday, their exchange wasn't till Thursday, but being a notorious businessman probably meant he had other business to attend to
A light breeze caused her black hair to bounce under the sky lighting of the airport, giving it a regal shine. Roman felt his eyes rake down her body and back up before landing on the sapphire pendant resting proudly between her collar bones and his heart swelled with pride.

CONFESSIONS “Six years ago I met a woman named Cara, I treated her sister in the ER and we hit it off. At the time my friends- everyone you saw at my parent’s house in LA that day, and I was inseparable. When I met Cara, naturally I introduced her to them first and according to me, they hit it off but little did I know, behind the scenes they hated her. We were dating for almost a year when we all planned to go on a trip, Cara couldn’t come so it was just the rest of us.” He sucked in a deep breath and continued. “Cara had mentioned on and off a few times things that my friends said to her, sly comments which I wrote off as jokes, but that trip is what changed things.

Roman, Elijah, and her father were watching baseball with more fervor than she’d ever seen before, making her smile. “They get along like a house on fire.” Karisa came to stand beside her with a glass of her own and gazed at the trio screaming orders at the television. “I’m really glad about that.” She glanced at Karisa only to find her studying her intently. “In all my years I've never seen my son so infatuated by someone.” Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully, “Not even Caralynn.” She added, grasping Sierra’
