Ouch.

These heels hurt real bad, it feels as though I'm walking on needles.

Holy Moly!

How does Sara manage to wear these death traps, again?

I took a deep breath and looked down at the dress I was wearing. It was a nude pink tea-length dress and was pretty much covered.

My only worry is that the dress has a sheer neckline, and one of my scars is slightly visible, it's not noticeable but it's there and I can feel it.

I looked at the floral nude pink hat and off white clutch kept on the bed and sighed, thank god Alex has a stylist who picks my clothes and sends them over for me.

I don't think I understand what dress is appropriate for what Occasion.

"Sara, darling, are you ready?"

I turned and almost lost my control but Maya caught me before I could fall "uhh, yes I am."

Maya smiled at me then beamed once she saw my attire "darling, you look absolutely stunning, I can see why you are a supermodel now!"

Supermodel, me?

I wanted to laugh, but I did not say anything and instead smiled back.

"can you ah, help me with this?" I asked and pointed to the hat that was still lying on my bed.

Maya made me sit down and combed my waist-long hair "you, my darling, have beautiful natural hair"

I looked up at Maya and smiled "I got it from my mom"

Maya hmmed and put the hat carefully on my head and secured it with a pin "you are going to be the center of attention on the occasion"

I stood up and hugged Maya just then, a voice interrupted us, "Sara, you ready?"I looked up to see Alex wearing a white suit, his hands shoved inside his pockets, and his stare just as penetrating as always.

I shivered under his intense gaze as goosebumps appeared on my body, he always tends to make my body react in uncertain ways.

Finally, I mustered up all the courage I could and looked back into his dark honey brown eyes, looking shades darker than they usually are.

He was still looking at me as though he was trying to calculate my next move, as though he was trying to look right through my soul.

"Isn't Sara looking like a dream, Alex?" Maya beamed excitedly and Alex just kept staring at me.

No response at all, he had nothing to say.

I knew I wouldn't be able to carry this dress, it was probably not looking the best at me.

"Let's go" Alex murmured and walked straight to the door while I followed behind him after taking the empty clutch in my hand.

Once we reached the parking, Alex stopped in front of a car which seemed to have come out of the future.

I have hardly sat in cars, but this car simply stood out, it seemed to come out of a magazine or something.

I let out a gasp without even realizing it.

"Bugatti Chiron sport, it picks a speed of 100 kilometers in 2.4 seconds and an o to 200 in 6 seconds has a 1500 horsepower engine and has a super smooth drive," Alex said in one single breath.

I looked up at him and smiled a little, the way he looked at the car was as though it was his dream.

It seemed to be more than just a car for him.

"I-its beautiful" I whispered.

Alex looked away from the car to look at me but gave no response, instead he opened the door for me and I settled in.

If I thought the outside was beautiful, I was even more amazed now, what in the world was this car?

Alex settled into the driver's seat and turned on the engine.

"Did you know Ettore Bugatti was the son of Carlo Bugatti, an Art Nouveau jewelry and furniture designer?" I murmured.

Alex looked at me for a second but instead of saying anything he just shook his head, indicating that he did not know about the fact I just told him about.

"Bugatti designed the Brescia Tourer and built and released 2,000 of these vehicles between 1920 and 1926. It was the first multi-valve full production model car worldwide to be created."

This time around Alex looked at me with a surprised expression on his face "why do you know all this?"

I smiled "I used to read interesting facts and fun facts all the time growing up, I was pretty much obsessed" Alex continued driving but gave me a side glance once.

The rest of the drive went on silently, none of us spoke anything more, not as Alex speaks to me anyways.

Once we reached our destination Alex opened my door and I got out of the car.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, Alex pulled me by my waist and held me tightly against him.

I winced slightly because the almost healed scar on my waist still pained a little.

I looked up to see Alex stare back at me, his hold firm on my waist.

"Don't, even for a second, step away from me. We are supposed to act as though we are happy " He ordered.

"Mr. Taylor, good morning!" Alex seemed to stiffen a little more, if that was even possible and turned around to greet the grey suit-clad man who seemed to be in his late fifties.

"Mr. Millers" Alex greeted and pulled me to stand right beside him.

The two talked for a minute or two but Alex soon dismissed the small talk they were having and decided to enter the stadium, Mr. Millers along with us headed inside the stadium which was filled with paparazzi.

"Mr. Taylor! Mr. Taylor!" Voices screamed from all around the area but Alex paid them no heed and went inside the VIP lounge.

I looked around and saw Four bulky men follow right behind us "A-Alex, someones behind us?" Alex put on his shaded, "bodyguards, they are the bodyguards."

For a moment, I was taken by surprise. From bodyguards, fancy cars to over the top houses, this man seemed to have it all.

Alex pulled out his phone to call someone and within seconds a man came running behind us, his face white.

"Sir, good morning, sir. Everything is ready, sir!" The man seemed to have seen a ghost "good, take my fiancé and settle down. I'll just go meet Drew once and be back." Alex commanded and left.

Away from Alex, in a public place?

I looked around nervously, you can do this Sierra.

Sara travels to other countries on her own and right now you are her.

Be Calm

"Good morning ma'am, I am Ashton. Mr. Taylor's assistant" the man now looked at me his face still white but still a little less tense.

Without even realizing I left out a giggle, his face was so comical it was as though he was waiting for me to stab.

"umm, hi Ashton" I whispered still smiling, Ashton turned a little red "I am sorry about my behavior earlier, I just started working for Mr. Taylor last month. I'm still adjusting and trying to not mess up"

I nodded while smiling because his pale face seemed to be stuck on my face.

Just then, Ashton's phone started ringing again and I saw the caller Id which was a devil emoji.

"Sir, yes sir," Ashton said and put down the phone within seconds and I burst out laughing loud this time.

Ashton looked at me, his face confused.

"y-your caller Id" I mumbled, still laughing "I-I am sorry ma'am, please don't tell sir. It was just a joke. I will change it immediately" Ashton begged "um it's fine, I understand. Devil undercover" I mumbled, the last part softly but Ashton seemed to catch it.

For the first time since I met him, his stiff figure relaxed and he smiled back "thanks, I guess"

Ashton lead me to one of the seating sections which was shaded and had way better seats than the rest of the stadium "sir, will be here soon ma'am. The race shall start in ten minutes. Do you want me to brief you about the race?"

Excitement bubbled inside me, this was the first time I was going to see a race, "yes please" I said a little louder than intended, "well ma'am the race will be between ten hor-" just then, Alex came in and settled beside me.

"you can sit down Ashton and shut up," Alex said without even looking at us instead he put out his hand to Ashton where Ashton put a pair of binoculars.

I looked at Ashton and he mouthed a 'sorry' to me.

Alex took the binoculars and adjusted the lenses for a minute or two and then stood up to look at the track a little more clearly "you got this, Drew" he said slowly and sat down again.

A loud voice boomed through the entire hall welcoming the people present, then the horses were introduced along with their owners.

"And lastly we have Drew, with the highest bet of one point two million. Drew is owned and trained by our special guest Mr. Alex Taylor." Everyone started clapping and all the eyes moved towards us.

I shifted a little, feeling uncomfortable but Alex took hold of my hand and pressed it gently.

Suddenly a gunshot in the air and the race began, Alex kept his eyes trained on the ground but what worried me the most was that I saw Sara in the crowd.

Her face hidden, but her eyes glaring at me.

Two people, Same identity, Same place.

This so is not good.
