PSYCHOPATH IN LOVE - CHAPTER 7&8
Sierra kept watching the two in silence. Never would she have thought that the two most trusted people in her life will betray her in such manner.
She must have made a move because it caught their attention and immediately they saw her, the pulled away from each other.
Sierra could feel everything spinning, she felt dizzy and sick to the bone, when she could take it no more, she collapse on the carpeted floor.
“Sierra” Bobby and Sunny called worriedly, running towards her but Luther got there before they did.
“Stay away from her!” He yelled fiercely, glaring at them with disgust and h@??.
He ignore the offer of the hotel staff to call for an ambulance and carried Sierra back to his room, cradling her to him.

Sierra didn’t know how long she was out but when she finally came around, it was to hear Luther angrily speaking on the phone.
“Just send some security guards to get those two away from my door!” He end the call to see Sierra awake.
“How are you? Do you feel ill? Should I get the doctor?” He ask worriedly, sitting beside her on the bed.
“How long have I been out?” Sierra ask, sitting up right.
“Some hours but it’s morning now” he said, wanting to push back her hair but she avoided his hand.
“You knew right? You knew about those two which is why you brought me here just so I can witness their betrayer” Sierra accuse, tears glistening her eyes.
“I didn’t know. I swear, the only thing I knew was that Bobby was on a trip, if I knew they were here, I would never have brought you here. I wouldn’t have wanted to see you hurt” Luther said truthfully.
“Lies. You think am a fool? Just like how Bobby and Sunny have been fooling me, you all must really think me a fool” she cried out not being able to hold back her tears.
Luther pulled her into arms, trying to give her comfort while whispering sweet endearment into her ear.
When the tears ended, she pulled away, starring at her hand.
“Before you woke up a while ago, Bobby and Sunny were asking to see you” Luther told her.
“I don’t want to talk to them. All I feel right now is h@?? and anger, I really want to get back at them” Sierra said, tightening their fist.
“Sierra you…”
“Will you help me? I help you with Jamie thing, you can now repay me back by helping me get back at those two, don’t say no, please” she said pleadingly.
“Fine. I will help you and I know a perfect way we can get back at them” Luther said.

<< EVENING ~ LARTIMER’S HALL >>
Dress in a black Dior gown couple with white heels and an expensive white ribbon she use in holding her hair up and a Dior bag.
Sierra let out a sigh as she stared at Luther who was also dressed elegantly for the party.
They were both in his car and at the venue, where the party will take place.
“Do you think it will work?” Sierra ask unsure.
“It will work. It’s the best option we have right now. Pretending to be lovers will not only make Bobby angry, it will make Sunny jealous”
“Bobby will feel hurt that you were already seeing me when you were both dating. Nothing hurts a man more than that and as for Sunny, she went after Bobby because he’s dating you. If she sees that you no longer give a f-__-k, she will be angry and jealous” Luther explain.
“So, are you game?” He ask and she nodded.
They got out of the car and went into the hall where a party for all business men were being thrown.
Having confirm earlier, Luther knew that Bobby will be there and Sunny will be his partner.
As soon as they walk in, they immediately earn the attention of the other guest.
She was grateful for Luther arm around her waist since she felt shy with the look being directed at them.
They mingle around, talking to some people Luther knew and some he just met for the first time at the party.
And through their discussion, Luther never neglect her, he would sometimes kiss her on the forehead, pull her closer to him or whisper something into her ear.
His action were clear enough to everyone that they were lover and she’s sure that it must be a surprise to Sunny and Bobby.
She had notice them earlier but had ignore them. They thought she would be up in the suite, crying her eyes out while they were out, enjoying themselves at a party.
“You wouldn’t mind us stealing Luther away for a little while, right?” One of the men talking to Luther directed at her.
“I don’t” Sierra said, smiling at Luther.
“I will be back soon” he muttered, hating the fact that he has to be away from her.
Since the party was a buffet type of party, Sierra made way to the table to eat something since the only thing she had is wine.
She had just made her choice on the food she will eat when someone joined her.
“I see, you are having the time of your life with that guy. Who’s he ?” Sunny ask.
“Were you expecting me to be crying my eyes out? Why should I? The only thing you two just showed me is that you aren’t worth my love or my friendship” Sierra said in return.
“And just so you know. He’s Luther Maxwell. The new man am going out with is your boss” Sierra added, enjoying the shock expression on her face.
She turn to leave only for something to hit hard on the back.
Sierra turn to see Sunny purse on the floor, she must have thrown it on her.
“Why are you acting like a victim when you also cheated on Bobby! We asked the receptionist and they told us that you arrive with Luther Maxwell yesterday morning. Being a rich man mistress must be the real deal for you!” Sunny yell earning the guest attention.
“You are one to talk, huh? You only befriended me to get to Bobby. You knew he was dating me but yet, you went ahead to seduce him and you dare to call me a mistress? What should I call you, a slut?” Sierra yell in return showing her that she isn’t the only one who could make a scene.
“There are times when I h@?? you” Sunny cried out, running towards Sierra to pull her hair.
Annoyed by her action, Sierra pulled her hair in return also hitting and kicking her.
Sunny kept screaming as Sierra beat the hell out of her and she would have dealt with her thoroughly if Luther and Bobby didn’t pull them apart.
Sierra tried to get out of Luther hold but he held her tightly by the waist.
“Stop it Sunny!” Bobby said, holding a crying Sunny.
“All we did is to fall in love. Even when knowing that we were doing you wrong, we couldn’t stop our feelings. Believe me when I say that as it is hard for you, it’s also hard for the both of us. We love each other but had to stay away for your sake but then…then….we are sorry, Sierra” Sunny said, crying very hard.
Her hair in disarray and still breathing heavily, Sierra stared at the two people she trusted most in the world. She could feel the sincerity in Sunny words and also in Bobby’s gaze and it hurt. It hurts so much.
“Get me out of here, please” Sierra said to Luther who immediately pick her up and left the hall.
When they were back in their suite, Sierra refuse to have dinner and went straight to her room.
All she wants is just to get some sleep and forget about the ordeal for a while.
She pulled off her gown and got into her night dress then went straight to bed.
Sunny words were the last thing she remembered before sleep claim her.
*****
The birds chirping loudly outside her window woke her up.
It’s the third day she’s spending here with Luther and….
Her eyes widen when she saw Luther sleeping next to her on the bed.
The last thing she recall was going to bed alone, when did he join her? She thought starring at her body to see her night gown still on her.
She was about waking him up to demand answers of him being in her room when she stop.
Unwillingly, she began to scrutinize his face.
From his close eyes to his nose then his mouth, a mouth she’s kissed for some time now. He’s the perfect example of a baby while asleep.
Cause he look so babyish when he’s asleep and when he’s awake, he completely over take any other guy out there.
When she realise what she was doing, she made to leave the bed but a strong hold on her hand got her falling back on the bed with Luther over her.
“Do you know how long I was waiting for you to kiss me? If you were going to stare at me that much, you should have added a kiss to it, like this” he muttered, leaning in to claim her lips.
She lay still, letting him explore her lips, doing crazy things with it.
He pull back and smile down at her before saying softly.
“Good morning. You might probably be wondering how I got into your bed. I was worried and while watching over you from the sofa, I ended up falling sleepy and decided to join you. Hope you don’t mind?”
She sat up, moving out of his arms to keep some distance between them.
“I do mind. You shouldn’t forget that we aren’t a real couple…we are just friends helping each other” She said, her back turn on him.
When he said nothing, she turn to see him smiling.
“Am glad you’ve finally seen me as your friend. I know you once thought of me as the enemy and a psycho but now that you are acknowledging me as your friend, am very happy”
“So proud of yourself huh?” She ask returning his smile.
“What do you intend to do about Sunny and Bobby?” He suddenly ask.
“What more can I do than to let them be. You heard Sunny yesterday. They are in love and for my sake they had to keep it hidden and stay away from each other. There were times Sunny would come back home feeling sad and I thought it due to work and stress but she was hurting because the man she loves can’t be with her and she didn’t want to hurt me” Sierra said.
“I thought about it and have decided to forgive them. I will admit that am a bit hurt by their betrayal but what am more hurt about is that they weren’t honest with me, if they had been, we could have thought of something which will stop either of us from hurting each other” she added softly and at that moment Luther felt so proud of her.
“Now that you are officially free, I have the right to pursue you?” Luther ask.
“No. In case those two sinners comes back, let them in. I would like to see them” Sierra said, going into the bathroom.
Luther was still grinning like a fool when a thought came to him, removing the smile on his face.
“I hope that when you find out the truth, you will be able to forgive me, too” he muttered.

“Any news?” The lady seated on the luxurious sofa ask her private investigator as soon as he walk in.
“Before I…”
“Just get straight to the point!” The lady yell at him.
“Luther is currently staying in Washington. He has build a life for himself” the investigator said showing her pictures of faith hospital.
“He owns this?” The lady let out in shock.
“And not only that, you need to see this too” he said showing her a picture of Sierra.
“I can’t believe this. Seems like I will have to take a trip to Washington” the lady said fiercely…..
