“Stella! Open up!” Mason called as he knocked on the door. It had been a couple of minutes, but nobody came. To think that ‘Stella’ was inside with another man, Mason felt a pang in his chest. He was already trying his best to control himself from forcing ‘Stella’ to move to his place until she agreed to marry him, and yet another nuisance came up.

“That guy… Who is he?” Mason shook his head and continued knocking on the door. His children were inside, why would he give up just because no one answered the door? “Stella!”

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Mason turned to see an old lady with a cane. “Young man, do you know what time is it? If nobody answers the door, then leave. It’s either the person inside is not home or she didn’t want to see you. Otherwise, I will call the police to report you. You’re disturbing the tenants in this building, and that’s unacceptable.”

“That… I’m sorry,” Mason said and sighed. “Are you the owner of this building?”

The old lady stared at Mason f

    Days passed, and Sierra was still busy making dresses. The orders that keep coming overwhelmed her, but grateful at the same time. She had no time to complain, despite the work piling up. At these times, Sierra was glad that Caleb was there to keep the children company while she was working. Astrid promised she would do it, but for some personal reason, she called Sierra the other day to inform her that she was locked in her parents’ house. Sierra knew Astrid’s family was wealthy though she didn’t really know what they do. She could have guessed how hard it was for her friend to do what she wanted when her parents keep monitoring her though. But even Sierra thought it was normal for parents to be overprotective of their daughter, especially for someone like Astrid, who looked like a pushover and easy to bully. Sierra herself was worried for her friend. “Aw!” Sierra flinched when she accidentally pricked her finger. Blood oozed out of her wound which she quickly covered with her dres

    “Hello everyone!” Astrid spread her arms, expecting the kids to run to her. “I bought some lunch!” She raised her hands with bags of food she ordered for takeouts. Contrary to her expectations, the twins just gave her a glance before going back to what they were doing. And Gabby was still busy being a baby. “I can’t believe this. They ignored me,” Astrid mumbled, pouting at Sierra who was busy sewing the dress that was recently ordered. “Not you too,” the blonde muttered and sighed. “I should not have come.” “Hey. What are you saying? I can hear you.” Sierra, who decided to take a break, said. She left her seat to greet her friend. “Thanks for coming. I’m glad you did.” Sierra smiled and helped Astrid with the bags. “Kids, let’s have lunch now.” Astrid followed Sierra to the kitchen with curiosity sparkling in her eyes. “So, what happened?” Sierra frowned. She washed her hands before placing the food on the table. “What do you mean what happened? Oh! Yes, Astrid. Finally, for som

    Sierra smiled at the man in front of her. She didn’t expect to see him again. “Thanks for that day. Ah! I forgot to get your name then. I’ll be happier to pay you back,” she said, referring to the groceries he paid for her when she didn’t have enough money with her.The man waved his hand with a cheerful smile. “That’s totally fine. You don’t have to pay it back,” he said. “Oh. I didn’t expect you wouldn’t remember me, though. I’m Frank, you know.” He showed his name tag with his name on it. “Ah. Nevermind. You might not have noticed this nerd behind Oliver Lewis.”Sierra was dumbfounded. She had no idea who Frank was aside from a pediatrician who was going to give Gabby a check-up, nor the man he mentioned, Oliver Lewis. It dawned on her. Did any of her sisters know these guys?“Haha. I’m sorry,” Sierra laughed awkwardly. “I don’t think I remember you aside from that time in the store.” She shrugged and looked away in embarrassment.Frank’s smile faded for a moment. He was back to hi

    “I ran away.”Frank choked on his drink when Oliver told him what had happened upon his encounter with Sierra the previous day. The former called his friend over when Sierra left his office in hopes the two would bump into each other, which happened, but his good friend ran away instead.“Why?” Frank was dying to know why Oliver was so hesitant to talk about Sherly before the latter disappeared. However, Oliver was tight-lip about it that no matter how much he tried to let him talk, he just wouldn’t and rather run away. “I’m wondering about this for some time now, but did you do something to her that even the mention of her name made you pale like you are right now?”“Frank, please. I don’t really want to face Sherly again. She’s just too much for me. You know how much she was obsessed with me back then and I couldn’t stand it.” Oliver leaned his forehead on the table and sighed. “I don’t want to see her again.”“Seriously? Hey, Oli. For your information, Sherly wasn’t obsessed with y

    The morning sun filtered through the dusty blinds in Sierra's tiny apartment, waking her from a restless sleep. She blinked awake, momentarily disoriented, before remembering—the children. With a groan, she dragged herself out of bed and splashed some water on her face, glancing at her reflection in the chipped mirror. Dark circles rimmed her eyes, a testament to the sleepless nights that had become her norm. At only twenty-three, she felt worn down in a way most women her age could never understand. But she steeled herself with a deep breath, summoning her determination. She had responsibilities now—far greater than any average young adult. Three little lives were depending on her, and she couldn't—wouldn't—let them down. The familiar sounds of pitter-pattering feet and giggling woke the rest of the household. Sierra stepped out of the bathroom to find London and Paris, her five-year-old twin niece and nephew, setting the table with bread and the leftover soup from last night. Mea

    “Kids, are you hungry? I can make some lunch.” Sierra announced as she checked the time on the clock. It was almost time for lunch and she decided to stop working and prepared the food for everyone first. “Can we have grilled cheese?” London asked, eyes lighting up. The boy rarely asked for something, and Sierra was more than happy to give him what he wanted. “Please?” Paris clasped her hands together, twisting side to side. “Of course.” Sierra ushered them to the table, retrieving bread and cheese from the fridge. The familiar routine of making their meal steadied her, pushing aside the pressure that her work kept pushing her to the bottom. “I wonder what he wanted for lunch,” she mumbled while thinking of Caleb. After breakfast, Caleb said he needed to go home for a bit and when he said home, he was talking about the mansion where he lived before he moved in next door. “Uncle Caleb said he’s going to have lunch outside,” Paris informed. “He’s too scared to stay here after what h

    “Thanks for coming over. I appreciate your help again today.” Sierra smiled at Dr. Frank and walked him to the door. She glanced at Oliver, who was quiet the entire time. Contrary to what she expected, Oliver said nothing much after he briefly played with Gabby before Frank examined the baby’s condition. She was worried Oliver would say something strange again though Sierra could already guess that he was familiar with either of her sisters.Frank smiled back at Sierra and nodded his head. “Feel free to contact me in case of any medical emergency. I mean, I might be able to help you somehow. And Dr. Oliver here is a cardiologist. He’s famous in his field, so don’t hesitate to come to him as well when his service’s needed. You know, when you have heart problems. Haha!”"My heart's totally fine," she replied."Oh! That's great to hear. It's nice. Um...Yeah."Sierra just smiled and waved her hand. She didn’t want to see Oliver again, if possible. “Bye!”Sighing, Sierra leaned her back on

    “Why can’t you find anything about that man? Are you telling me he’s some sort of part of the underground world or royalty, that even hiring multiple investigators to dig about him isn’t enough?”Mason kicked the under of his table in disappointment. He couldn’t believe it had been a few days, and he still didn’t know anything about Caleb West. “That arrogant guy. He looks at me as if I’m a piece of trash in front of him. How despicable!”After going home that evening when he met Caleb in Sierra’s place, Mason immediately ordered his people to investigate, but he got nothing up to date.Mason’s face darkened as he glared at his secretary, Robin.“I want to know exactly who Caleb West is,” Mason demanded. “I must know what kind of person he is and I want answers!”The secretary nodded, knowing that Mason wouldn't allow anything less than a thorough investigation.For the next few days, Mason’s team worked tirelessly to uncover any information they could find on Caleb West.

    Oliver wore his coat before knocking on his Dad’s office. He had never seen his old man for a while, and coming to him on his own was a big shock to the latter."You’re here. What do you want?" Dr. Lewis asked without lifting his gaze to his son.Oliver sat on the chair in front of him and knocked on the table to get his attention."I don’t want to repeat the question, Oliver." His father finally looked at him with a sigh. "I have many things to do, so I appreciate it if you speak right away."Nodding his head, Oliver clenched his fists on his lap. "I want to become a father," he blurted out. "You don’t have to arrange for me to marry anyone. I already have a successor in mind.""So, what did you eat today?" Dr. Lewis asked instead, taking his words lightly. "Or did you watch a movie with that guy? What’s his name? Ah, Frank. Yeah. Did he force you to do something again, resulting in... this?""I see that you’re not interested." Oliver stood up and fixed his tie. "I’m still going to do

    “I can’t believe you’re going without me!” Astrid cried on the other line. While she was ordered to stay in the house for a month after she kicked Mason Bennett in the jaw, Sierra and the kids invited Caleb to join their picnic. “Won’t you at least help me get out of here just for today?” “You’re only making your situation worse if you do that, Missy.” “But I want to come! It’s not fair. I watched over those kids when the two of you went on a date. Let me talk to the kids. They’ll surely want me to come too!” Sierra sighed. She wanted to invite Astrid as well, but Caleb told her not to. When she asked him why, he said that Astrid was being punished. Although Sierra wanted to know the details, she didn’t pry so much about it. She could tell from Caleb’s voice that something huge must have happened and Astrid was involved. It was not surprising for her to know how Astrid attracts trouble for herself ever since they met and became friends. “You can come next time but sorry, today’s no

    The warm breeze touched Oliver’s skin as soon as he got off the car. After recovering from a fever, he decided to take a break from work for a month. It was the first time he voluntarily asked for a break, which surprised everyone, including his friend, Frank. Oliver planned to visit Sherly’s grave with the latter. Usually, Oliver would resort to overworking whenever he had something in mind, but this time, he wanted to try a different approach, especially when he might be the father of Sherly’s baby.“Did we get to the right place?” Frank asked, looking around. “This town looked lifeless…”Oliver roamed his gaze around and couldn’t agree more. It felt like the place was abandoned. “There was a huge fire that killed almost a hundred people a few months ago. It’s going to be more suspicious if people living here would look lively after the incident.”Frank nodded his head. “Lots of people died, but I don’t think they ever reported it to the public. Did you find out the cause of the fir

    Mason groaned as soon as his eyes met Astrid’s. He was not happy to see her at all. After what she had done to him, he wished her to go die somewhere and never appear in front of him again.“What’s this? I thought you were recovering well. You look like a mess,” Astrid commented, throwing stony gazes at him lying on the bed. There was no hint of either guilt or regret in her voice as she continued speaking. “So, did you tell them your plan to cancel our engagement? You’re not waiting until your injury heals, are you?”Mason clenched his fists. He knew something was wrong with Astrid, but he didn’t expect her to be a total maniac. “Evil witch!” He mumbled, though his words turned out muffled, which was hard for Astrid to understand.“Why do you have to kick me so hard?”Astrid looked at him blankly. “I don’t know what you’re saying, but if you’re wondering why I did that, then I have two reasons.” She pulled a chair and sat next to his bed and smiled. “First, because you’re annoying.

    Sierra handed the boxes with dresses she made for her clients. Although the men looked scary, she couldn’t just let them stand outside. With the help of her landlady, who was amused by her reaction, Sierra entertained the clients one by one.“Thank you for your order. I hope your wife will like it,” she said as she handed the box. Sierra turned around to find more boxes were still waiting to be claimed.“Thanks, Miss. We’re very sorry for scaring you earlier.”Sierra smiled slightly with a red face. She didn’t want to hear it again in embarrassment. “Haha! That was really unexpected. Thanks for your understanding.” Sierra nodded at the man and watched him exit the door. A few moments later, another man came in.“Please have a seat. May I know under what name your order is?” Sierra checked the list while waiting for the man to reply.“It’s for Celia—”A loud thud interrupted the man’s response. Sierra frowned as she turned to see what had happened. Her eyes softened when she saw Caleb.

    Sierra threw her arms overhead and stretched as she yawned. She checked the time on the clock. Her eyes glistened with joy. “I’m finally done!”It took her longer than she expected to finish the orders she received. She was not only excited to get paid for them but also to have a few days’ breaks and be with the children.‘It’s only 1 in the afternoon. I should inform the clients about their orders. They said they’d come to pick them up so…’ Sierra left her seat and went to the kitchen for a glass of water.“Ah! That was nice,” she mumbled before washing the glass and letting it dry.Sierra went back to the living room to get her phone. She grabbed the small notebook on the side where she wrote down the client’s contact number. She started calling them one after another, informing them they could pick up their order anytime now.“Thank you! Please drop by at the address given anytime to pick up your dress. Have a nice day,” Sierra said to the last client she called. When the call ende

    The weather outside was so nice enough to make Astrid feel bad for not being allowed to leave. She sighed as she leaned her chin on her palm placed by the window. She had been thinking of a way to get out and her only option was to ask Caleb for help. After all, Caleb was the only one in the family who had the guts to go against her parents.However, Astrid was worried Sierra was still not in the mood to hang out. When she was watching over the kids for her the other day, she noticed the unfinished dresses in the corner where Sierra worked. Coming to visit her again might not be the best option she could do to help her. On the other hand, she could volunteer to watch over the kids while Sierra was working, although this option may not be available, given that Caleb recently became Sierra’s neighbor.“Hah! How obsessed. He could have to bring her in his place instead,” Astrid mumbled to herself, referring to Caleb’s unexpected actions and decisions when it comes to Sierra. “To think I’

    Caleb opened the door to Sierra’s apartment. It’s been a few minutes, but Sierra has said nothing ever since he fetched her from the hospital along with the kids.Caleb was in a meeting with his subordinates when he received a call from Austin. The latter informed him about a man visiting Sierra. Austin said it was not Mason Bennett, so Caleb became more worried. After all, he knew he wasn’t the only one who was fascinated by Sierra’s face, especially when there used to be three of them with the same. Without further ado, he ended the meeting and went back to the apartment, only for Sierra to ask him to watch the kids while she ran outside in the rain with an umbrella.After what happened the night Mason came to Sierra’s place unannounced, Caleb ordered Austin to keep watch 24/7. Thanks to that, he could make sure Sierra and the kids were safe if he wasn’t around. After all, Austin was one of his most reliable men. “Austin, what happened?” Caleb asked as soon as the other answered th

    Oliver stopped on his track. He stared blankly at the road while waiting for the green light before crossing the street. He just came back from Sierra’s apartment. After investigating, he found out what happened to Sherly. He couldn’t believe it, so he rushed to Sierra’s place. His world crumbled when the latter confirmed the news.Clenching his fists, Oliver shut his eyes as he tilted his head up. He was trying to calm himself down when droplets of water hit his face. It started slow and eventually; the rain poured hard. Oliver didn’t mind the rain. In fact, he needed it to bind himself to reality. The news about Sherly’s death was something he didn’t expect. All this time, he thought she was just living fine somewhere. Knowing that she was already gone and would never come back, Oliver found it hard to believe.“Why?” He mumbled. Warm liquid coming from his eyes streamed down his face. Oliver felt his heart clench as he desperately remembered the last conversation he had with Sherl
