“SIERRA?” I absentmindedly gasped as I felt my heartbeat beat faster.
"Sorry, I'm late,” she said as she sat across from me. I was in the head seat, and she took the second in the command seat.
“Wow, she's very pretty,” Ethan whispered, but loud enough for all to hear. His eyes were on her, and shockingly, she had her eyes on him too.
~SIERRA~“You can still choose to back out, and they will refund you in full, or you can sell your shares.”“No, I love the company.”“But it's falling, I just know there's no saving it,” Gilbert insisted.“Trust me, it's perfect,” I told him.
~SIERRA~“Tell us, Mommy, or is our Daddy with the angels?“ curious Ingrid asked.“No darlings.”“Where is he? We want to see him,” Nathan insisted, and Ingrid nodded.“You will understand once you're big, for now, you don't need him, I can be both your mother and father.”“But…”“No buts, now let's eat up, it's already late,” I said, trying to avoid more questions. My kids, being obedient, quietly ate. The rest of the meal went by so quickly that I could tell my kids were bothered, but what could I do? This was for the best.When we finished eating, I took them to their bedroom and helped them brush their teeth before putting them to bed.“Lana will come read the story for you, okay?” I said this after kissing their cheeks.“Why can't Mommy read it?” Ingrid asked.“Because Mommy has to help Nana eat,” I said."Okay, Mommy, goodnight.”“Goodnight to you too, my darlings,” I said as I switched off the lights and walked out. I went to the kitchen to get Nana's food. Beatrice and Lana w
I looked around at the roses that caused the pleasant smell. I absentmindedly walked up to the roses and bent down for my nostrils to take in the scent. I remained in position for a few minutes before I brought myself to reality. “Clean this up now!” “Ms. Reid I...” “I said now!” "Alright, Ms. Reid,” my guard agreed as he started taking the vases of roses from my table. I walked carefully to the huge window without touching the roses. I looked out the window as thoughts of Damian struck my mind. He never once bought me roses in the years of our marriage. What made him buy me roses this time? Is he trying to prove a point? “Ms. Reid, should I throw the note too?” The guard's voice shook me out of my thoughts. "Yes, please,” I confirmed, and I continued staring out the window. “It’s rude to throw away gifts, if you didn't like the roses, at least you could give them out for charity.” A manly voice made me turn. “Excuse me?” It was a hot-looking man, he was in his office cloth
~DAMIAN~I didn't understand what Cassie was doing here, as after she quit, I had even tried reaching her for the last two days.“Cassie, what are you doing here?” I asked while my eyes roamed to Sierra, who was seated comfortably in her chair, she didn't look intimidated at all.“I asked you a damn question, Damian. You still what? Don't tell me you love her because that will be the funniest joke of today,” she was staring a
~DAMIAN~“Welcome home, my love,” said Cassie. She was barely covered, only in her panties and a bra.“Why are you here?” I asked as I let myself in. She tried to kiss me, but I slightly pushed her away.“Wrong question, the question must be why I look hot, don't worry, I didn't try hard, so you won't lose your breath this time,” she said, trying to sound sexy, but her voice only irritated my ears.
~DAMIAN~“Let me go!” I struggled with the securities.“I'm sorry, Mr. Winters, but we can't,” they apologized, holding my hands tight. There were four, and my movements weren't helping. Sierra was unbelievably helpful to the man. She helped him stand on his feet.“I'm so sorry,” she said, and I rolled my eyes.
~SIERRA~“That's funny, I just don't understand why he's acting like this when he's the one who divorced me. I hope he's not trying to dump Cassie like he did with me.”“Unfortunately he is, I know Damian too well, and breaking hearts is one of his hobbies,” Lily said. I was on a call with her, and she was telling me about Damian looking for my address.“I'm glad I used my Houston address, I don't know how I could handle Damian showing up.”“I wouldn't relax if I were you, Damian is determined, I know him well, he never gives up,” she warned, and she was right, Damian was not one to give up easily.“You're right, I guess it's time I start confusing him,” I said, sipping on my glass of wine."Yes, you better, but you still haven't told me the reason you did not come to the office today.”“Ingrid was not feeling well, I had to stay back and watch over her, and besides, I work from home, so I can get work done here in my home.”“I agree. With the way you built yourself in just five years
“Who is Atlas?”I looked at Nana, who now covered her mouth with her hands, regretfully.“It's one of the guards, yes, he rarely laughs, it surprises me that he laughed today,” I lied, but she didn't buy it.“That's not true, why would you care about a guard? Do you have another..”“That's the truth, Ava, why would I lie to you?” I sidestepped. I didn't want her to think too much about it; she might end up figuring it out.“If you say so, I can'
