The silence in the office was deafening as Sierra stepped inside, masking her frustration behind a calm demeanor. The events of the previous night still grated on her nerves. A canceled race was unheard of in their world, and yet it had happened—with no explanation.

She was greeted with the familiar sight of David, her friend and one of the few people she trusted in the circuit. But what caught her attention immediately was the trio seated across the room.

Her eyes narrowed as she recognized them: the same three men from the previous night. Damian Cross sat in the center, his relaxed posture at odds with the tense energy radiating from his two bodyguards flanking him.

Damian, dressed down in a charcoal sweater and slacks, exuded the same wealth and authority as before. His piercing gaze met hers, and for a moment, Sierra felt as though he could see right through her. It wasn’t a feeling she enjoyed.

As she walked further into the room, the hum of muffled chatter from outside

    Sierra’s eyes narrowed. “You’ve already canceled the race, and now you want me to do what? Sit down and watch your fancy prototype go around the track?” He didn’t seem fazed by her cynicism. “Exactly,” he said, his voice still calm. “I want you to watch the cars. Observe them, check them for any potential flaws, mechanical issues. You’ve been around cars your entire life. I’m sure you can spot something the average person wouldn’t.” Her lips curled into a sneer, her patience thinning. “So, you want me to be your personal mechanic now? Is that what this is?” “No, it’s not about mechanics. It’s about your experience. You’ve been on tracks long enough to know the difference between a well-tuned car and one that’s not quite right. I need someone who has that kind of instinct.” Sierra wasn’t sure whether to laugh or scoff. She was a driver, not a glorified car tester, yet here he was, treating her like some sort of tool he could use. She didn’t know if it was his confidence or his comp

    Sierra was used to being in control. She had spent years perfecting the art of managing her time, balancing her life between racing and her academics. Every day was carefully structured, every moment accounted for. She had no room for distractions, no tolerance for interruptions. But today—today felt different. The phone call that had been nagging her for hours felt like a constant, unwelcome buzz in the back of her mind. She had turned the volume down on her phone, hoping it would stop the irritation, but the constant vibration kept reminding her that someone was trying to reach her. And every time it buzzed, it felt like a little piece of her calm routine was being chipped away. It wasn’t until the fourth call that she finally picked it up, cursing under her breath as she swiped the screen. She didn’t even check the number. She was irritated, frustrated, and more than a little tired of being pulled into things she didn’t want to deal with. But when she answered the phone, her fru

    As the door to the café swung shut behind Sierra, Damian remained seated, his eyes following her every movement as she disappeared from sight. The familiar hum of the bustling café faded into the background as his mind raced, lingering on the interactions that had just transpired. The sudden shift in his thoughts wasn’t like him. Damian was used to keeping his emotions in check, his demeanor a carefully constructed mask that never betrayed his true feelings. But Sierra—Sierra had shaken him in ways he hadn’t expected. There was something about her that lingered in his mind, an unfamiliar feeling that he couldn’t quite place. He leaned back in his chair, eyes narrowing slightly as the door clicked shut. She was strong-willed, undeniably independent, and, despite the way she tried to hide it, she had a fierce spark that Damian found utterly captivating. She wasn’t like the usual women he interacted with—the ones who seemed more interested in his wealth or his status. Sierra... she was

    Sierra walked back into the small, cluttered apartment she shared with Mika, the weight of the world feeling heavier on her shoulders with every step. The door clicked shut behind her, and as she threw her bag onto the couch, she let out an exasperated sigh. The irritation that had been building inside her all day was still fresh, and it bubbled just below the surface, ready to explode. Mika, her best friend and roommate, was sitting at the kitchen counter, sipping a cup of tea as she flipped through her phone. The moment she saw Sierra walk in, her eyes instantly shifted from her phone to Sierra, noting the tension in her friend's posture. It was a look she knew all too well. "Okay, what's going on?" Mika asked, setting her tea down with a knowing look. "You look like you've just run a marathon in a storm. What happened?" Sierra stood still for a moment, looking at the floor as she took a deep breath. She didn’t want to get into it, didn’t want to talk about the man who’d been p

    Sierra sat in the library, the air thick with the smell of old books and the quiet hum of focused minds. It wasn’t the most glamorous place, but for her, the library was a sanctuary. A place where she could block out the noise of the outside world—of people constantly vying for her attention, trying to convince her to follow a certain path, or make decisions that didn’t sit right with her. This was the one place where she could simply be herself, where the weight of expectations was lighter, and she could immerse herself in the numbers, equations, and problems that her professor had handed her. Her phone buzzed from the desk beside her, breaking the silence of the library. Sierra glanced at the screen without touching it, her eyes narrowing as she saw the name flashing on the display: *David Hamilton*. She sighed heavily, her fingers hovering over the phone for a moment before she dismissed the call. She had already given him her answer earlier. Why did it matter to him if she didn

    The heavy oak desk in Damian’s expansive office was covered in neatly organized files and documents, but his attention was focused solely on one folder: the one containing all the information about Sierra. His secretary had delivered it less than an hour ago, the man standing stiffly as he briefed Damian on its contents. Yet even after the secretary had left, Damian found himself poring over every detail, rereading certain lines and staring at photographs with a sense of fascination that he hadn’t expected.Damian was not a man easily impressed. He was surrounded by wealth, power, and influence every day—his own and others’. He had seen the best and worst of what people had to offer, and very little surprised him anymore. Yet Sierra managed to defy his expectations at every turn.The first thing that stood out to him was her background. Sierra wasn’t from a wealthy family, which caught Damian off guard. He had assumed, incorrectly it seemed, that her sharp disdain for the wealthy came

    Nathan entered Damian’s office quietly, the weight of his boss’s intense focus palpable even from the doorway. Damian was seated at his desk, his sharp eyes scanning the pages of a file that Nathan recognized all too well—the one containing every detail they had been able to gather about Sierra. It wasn’t the first time Nathan had seen Damian engrossed in those papers, and he suspected it wouldn’t be the last. Damian’s fingers moved slowly, turning the pages with deliberate care. He was completely absorbed, his brows slightly furrowed in concentration. Nathan could tell this wasn’t just idle curiosity. Damian had taken a genuine interest in Sierra, one that went far beyond the surface level. There was a spark of something in his boss’s eyes—a mix of admiration and intrigue that Nathan hadn’t seen in years. Clearing his throat softly to announce his presence, Nathan stepped further into the room. “Sir, I see you’re still reviewing the file,” he said cautiously, not wanting to interru

    SIERRA With exams looming on the horizon, I decided to put everything else on hold. For the time being, the track would have to wait. Racing was a thrilling escape, but right now, my focus needed to be on my studies. If there was one thing I prided myself on as much as racing, it was excelling in my academics. The week was a blur of textbooks, highlighters, and sleepless nights. I’d mapped out a strict schedule, allocating every minute to studying and revising. My days began early and ended late, leaving little room for distractions. I told Mika to cover for me if anyone asked about my whereabouts—though I doubted anyone would. “Focus, Sierra,” I muttered to myself as I stared at a particularly convoluted equation in my calculus workbook. My professor had a knack for assigning the kind of problems that made you question every decision that led you to this moment. As I worked through the calculations, my mind briefly drifted to the track. I wondered what was happening there, who

    The sunlight streamed through the windows of the car as we drove up the familiar, long driveway leading to Damian’s parents’ manor. The same old stone gate greeted us, the flowers lining the pathway just as vibrant as I remembered. The place was beautiful, timeless, and always had an air of serenity that made you feel like you were stepping into a different world—a world full of history and love. I glanced at Damian beside me, his hands firmly gripping the wheel as he maneuvered the car down the narrow path. His usual composed demeanor was relaxed today, and I couldn’t help but smile as I watched him. We’d been married for a while now, and even with two little ones in tow, there was still something so comforting about his presence. He was the same Damian I had fallen for years ago—strong, caring, and somehow managing to make everything feel like it was meant to be. In the backseat, our twins were giggling, their laughter infectious. Emily, our daughter, had her little pigtails bounc

    The reception was in full swing, a beautiful celebration of Sierra and Damian’s union. The guests were enjoying themselves, the hum of conversations mixing with the soft melodies playing in the background. Everywhere you looked, there was laughter, joy, and an overwhelming sense of love in the air. The newlyweds were on the dance floor, their smiles never fading as they danced with each other, occasionally stealing glances at their friends and family who were watching in admiration. The tables, laden with delicious food and drinks, were surrounded by people chatting away and sharing stories. It was a night that everyone would remember, one that felt like the beginning of a new chapter for not only Sierra and Damian but for everyone who loved them. But the best part of the evening was yet to come—the speeches. As the evening went on, the time came for the people closest to the couple to stand up and share their thoughts. One by one, guests stood to offer their congratulations, their

    The day had arrived—the long-awaited wedding of Damian and Sierra. The sun hung high in the sky, casting its golden glow over the lush gardens where the ceremony would take place. It was the kind of weather that felt perfect, as though the universe itself had aligned for this moment. The soft rustle of leaves in the breeze and the gentle hum of excited voices filled the air, creating an atmosphere of warmth and love. This was a day that would be etched in their memories forever. Sierra stood backstage, her heart racing. She had been waiting for this day for so long, but now that it was finally here, it all felt so surreal. Her wedding dress, a delicate blend of lace and satin, shimmered softly in the light as she adjusted the final touches. Her hair, styled in loose waves, was adorned with a delicate tiara that made her feel like a princess. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, barely recognizing the woman looking back at her. She looked like a dream, but the dream was real

    Damian and I had been preparing for this day for weeks. The day I would finally meet his parents—his formidable, larger-than-life parents, who had raised a man as complex and brilliant as Damian. My nerves were getting the best of me, but he was by my side, his usual calm demeanor reassuring me, even though I knew this would be a turning point in our relationship. We arrived at his family’s manor just as the evening sun began to dip, casting a warm golden light over the grand, old building. The manor had an elegant charm to it, with ivy climbing up the stone walls and a well-kept garden that gave off an air of old money. I had heard a lot about his parents from Damian, but there was nothing that could prepare me for actually meeting them. Damian opened the door for me with a small, encouraging smile, taking my hand in his as we approached the grand entrance. As soon as the door swung open, his mother’s voice rang out from inside. “Damian! There you are!” she called, her tone a mix

    I watched as Damian entered our home, his posture slumped, clearly exhausted from his day. It was unusual for him to look so worn out; he usually carried himself with an air of unshakable confidence. As soon as I saw the fatigue in his eyes, I couldn't help but rush to him. Without thinking, I stood on my tiptoes and pressed a soft kiss to his lips, trying to ease the tension I could feel radiating from him. "You look like you need to unwind," I murmured against his lips. Damian’s arms instinctively wrapped around me as if he needed the comfort, too. "I’m fine, just... been a long day," he replied, but I could see through his words. His exhaustion was palpable, and I wasn’t going to let him suffer in silence. “Go take a bath. I’ll make us something to eat,” I suggested gently, nudging him toward our bedroom. He gave me a small, appreciative smile before nodding. "Thanks, love." His voice was softer than usual, filled with gratitude. As he disappeared into the bathroom, I busied m

    Damian sat in the large, sterile dining room of his parents' manor, the overwhelming sense of anticipation now replaced by a suffocating tension. His mother’s eyes burned with fury as she stared at him, waiting for the next words to come out of his mouth, as if she could sense he was holding something back. Her lips were pursed tightly, her knuckles white around the edge of her wine glass. He had already sensed her disappointment the moment he had walked through the door without Sierra, but he hadn’t expected it to escalate to this. His father, seated at the end of the table, remained quiet, but Damian could feel the weight of his gaze—a quiet, unspoken judgment. It made Damian feel even more like he was drowning in the sea of expectations that had been placed on him all these years. Finally, after a few painful moments of silence, his mother couldn’t hold back anymore. Her voice cut through the tension like a blade. “Damian, you say you’re serious about this woman, but where is sh

    Damian sat back in the leather chair, the quiet hum of the city outside filtering through the window. He could feel the weight of the day bearing down on him, a culmination of weeks of planning, anticipation, and a growing sense of excitement. It was hard to believe that just a few days ago, he had been on a beach in the Maldives, a lifetime away from the familiar comforts of home. The proposal had gone exactly as he’d hoped. Sierra’s joy, the moment they shared under the starry sky—everything had been perfect. But now, the next step beckoned. It wasn’t just about them anymore. There was more he needed to address, more he needed to reveal.He picked up his phone, his thumb hovering over Nathan's name. It had been a while since he'd spoken to his old friend in person, but it was time to bring him into the fold. Nathan had always been reliable, and now, more than ever, Damian needed his help.“Hey, Nathan,” Damian greeted when the phone clicked to life. “I need your help with something.

    After the proposal, the world seemed to slow down for a moment. Damian’s arms wrapped around me, holding me close, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like everything was falling into place. I could feel the warmth of the people around us, their happiness radiating in every cheer and smile. The world was our oyster, and for once, I felt like I had everything I ever needed. But then, as the waves gently lapped at the shore and the stars twinkled above us, something hit me, a question that had been sitting in the back of my mind for a while, one I hadn’t quite found the right moment to ask.Pulling away from Damian’s embrace, I looked up at him, my fingers still tracing the outline of his jaw, a smile lingering on my lips. But there was something in my eyes—a flicker of curiosity mixed with a sense of uncertainty. I couldn’t shake the thought.“Damian,” I said, my voice soft but with a serious edge, “I need to ask you something. What about your family?”His eyes narrowed sligh

    Three years. Three years of highs and lows, triumphs and challenges. Looking back, it felt like a whirlwind of emotions. From the early days of uncertainty, when Damian and I were navigating the aftershocks of everything that had happened with Liam, to the quiet nights we spent together, finding solace in each other’s company, I never imagined that we’d come this far. I’d thought that life had settled into a rhythm, one where we worked hard, loved hard, and fought for the people we cared about.But tonight, standing on the edge of the Maldives beach, the soft whispers of the ocean as our backdrop, it felt different. The air was thick with anticipation, and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, as if something monumental was about to happen. I didn’t know what it was—didn’t even have a hint—but I had a nagging feeling that tonight wasn’t going to be just another beautiful evening under the stars.I glanced around, taking in the scene.
