“I’m sorry, Sierra. Let’s end it all here,” he said, looking at the young woman sitting in front of him. He watched as her face turned pale and her brown eyes got watery. “I had fun. It’s just that… We can’t. I’m afraid I can’t continue this relationship with you,” he added. “You’re kidding, right?” She tried to brush it off but he shook his head as a response. “No way. Stop it. This isn’t a funny joke.” Sierra held back her sobs. She thought he was the one for her. They were fine so why all of a sudden he was saying those things to her? They just even finished making love for Pete's sake and he wanted to break up with her? “All this time… What am I to you?” Sierra blurted out, pursing her lips. “How could you discard me like this when I trusted you? I gave you my all!” She cried, failing to keep the tears to herself. “You always made me feel safe until now,” she mumbled in between sobs. “Can you at least tell me why?” He cupped her face and looked at her face with the same gentle
The dawn of the new day came far too quickly for Sierra. In a daze, she woke up to the sound of Gabby's cries at 4 in the morning. She was half-asleep as she prepared the baby bottle to feed him. As she took the bottle from the box, Sierra could feel her heart sink. ‘Not again,’ she thought. She had miscalculated her stock of baby formula and now there was not enough left to feed Gabby for the day.Panicking, Sierra quickly dressed and grabbed her wallet, rushing out of the apartment with Gabby wrapped up in her arms. She hailed a cab and sped through the deserted streets toward their nearby grocery store.Upon arriving at the store, Sierra rushed inside. The bright lights woke her up fully and, in a flurry, she gathered what few supplies were still stocked at this early hour. She found two tins of baby formula hidden away on an otherwise barren shelf and snatched them up with relief. “Lucky!” She muttered, clutching the baby and the tins as if they were her lifeline.Finally making i
It had been a month since Sierra moved in with the kids in their new apartment. They were doing pretty well, especially with their finances when Sierra started accepting a commission job.Sierra was amazing at designing clothes and making them. She had a natural knack for it, which she honed with practice over the years. She bought a sewing machine with her saved-up money and posted her designs online where one could see and request a customized design from her.Her business idea started better than she imagined. In a week, she received three requests and all of them offered her a good amount of pay which made Sierra ecstatic. With each job, Sierra got more confident in her work, slowly building up an array of clients who sought out her services to make their unique garment wishes come true.Each design came out better than expected; the colors that Sierra chose were vibrant, the cuts intricate yet simple, and the shapes flattering on any body type. The fabric selection was always spo
After leaving the twin’s bedroom, Sierra went to the sink to wash her face. She felt like exploding at any moment when hearing that name again. “How did he know? She said the man was dead… That bastard sounded like he knew that she was pregnant and they had children,” she mumbled, reminiscing the past.“So, who’s the father?” Sherly, the second of the triplet asked the eldest, Stella. “You’re not going to tell us that you got pregnant by yourself, are you?” She glared at her while waiting for her response.Stella clenched her fists but said nothing, making Sherly more frustrated. “Come on, Sis! It’s not like we’re going to kick you out of the house now that you’re pregnant just right before graduation,” Sherly said in a sarcastic tone. They were all shocked when Stella announce that she was pregnant. She had hidden her baby bump for quite a while and none of them noticed until she told them about it.“Sherly, that’s enough. You’re scaring her,” Sierra joined in, scolding her sister wh
“Why not, Mom? Mr. Bennett fulfilled his promise so why won’t you use it?” London asked. The boy was delighted when Mr. Bennett kept his word about making a website for Sierra’s online business but the latter didn’t want to use it. Sierra had no plans to be involved with Mr. Bennett and she wished London feel the same but the boy was more than just interested in the man she doubted he even met in person. “I’ve checked it. It’s really good. He said the themes can be changed whenever you wanted,” he added. “Shall we try it out for a week at least?”Sierra sighed. “Honey, I don’t think it’s okay. What if he got access to it too and tampered with our business?” Although that wasn’t Sierra’s main concern, she just felt uncomfortable getting help from someone who accused her— her sister rather, of using the child to sponge off him. “You don’t have to worry about the website. I think I can manage to make one on my own. I mean, he wouldn’t do it for free, would he?”London’s face dropped. “He
Sierra kept tossing and turning in bed. She couldn’t sleep. Turning to the side, she checked the time and sighed. It was already midnight and she hadn’t slept for a wink. “What should I do?” She asked herself, pondering about the children’s fathers. She didn’t think much about it at first believing that the men who impregnated her sisters were said to be dead. Although she didn’t believe it when both Stella and Sherly claimed that their children’s father was dead, she left it at that.“It’s challenging enough to raise children and now I have to worry about their fathers? I felt like pulling your hair, Sisters.” Sierra groaned as she covered her eyes with the back of her arms. A few seconds later, she was sobbing. She missed her sisters. Sierra thought they suffered enough to be pregnant before having a stable job thus she tried to do her best and not to follow their path. In the end, she may not have gotten herself pregnant with her ex-boyfriend, but she became her sister’s children’s
Sierra glared at Mason as they sat in the living room. After what he did, she couldn't kick him out. Sierra wanted to find out more about the man and his relationship with her sister, Stella. Since Mason kept calling her 'Stella', she could tell that Stella didn't tell him anything about being one of the triplets. Sierra was desperate and would do anything to protect the children— be it from their father. Besides, she was also wondering why London was talking to Mason. The child seemed to treat the man as his friend."I didn't know you were pregnant," Mason started. His eyes wandered around the small living room. "Did you get married?"Sierra clenched her fist under the table. It was a good thing she sent the Twins to their bedroom with Gabby. “What do you want?” Sierra bravely asked. She didn't plan to pretend to be her sister, but she wanted to know what the man would say after finding out he left Stella pregnant. Of course, that was only her speculation. It couldn't be the case too
“What do you mean you're renting an apartment?”Sierra flinched when her friend— Astrid, bombarded her eardrums as soon as she answered the call. After her encounter with Mason, Sierra couldn’t calm down. That was when she decided to check on her friend and have a casual chat to divert her thoughts. And like always, Astrid’s greeting was loud and full of energy.Sierra took a deep breath while thinking of the safest reply she could ever come up with. Knowing Astrid, Sierra was afraid the former would drag them out of the apartment to stay with her instead. “Things happen and the kids love the place too,” she responded after a careful analysis.As Sierra's only and best friend, Astrid cared a lot for her. In fact, the latter was quite proud to be her friend. After all, Sierra was not the type to mingle with people. Astrid thought she was lucky to be friends with her after having several classes together back in college. In Astrid's eyes, Sierra was like a star that shines brightly at n
