Sienna’s povThe thought of telling him made my chest feel really tight. I was scared. It was not because I thought he would be mad at me. Because I did not want him to think that I was doing this because of him. I did not want him to think that the only reason I got the job was because I was trying to get away from him. He had helped me so much that I would not have gotten to this position without him.I sat up slowly wiping my eyes.“I will tell him at dinner,” I decided. I just hoped he would be happy for me and not act like Xander towards me.It was like my thoughts had brought him to me because the intercom made a noise.It was Anthony. “It’s time for dinner.”I pressed a button, “I’m coming.”I giggled and got to my feet before getting ready to go down and join him.I then went down to join Anthony at the dining table as I found that he had placed multiple meals there, but he was nowhere to be found. I heard clattering in the kitchen as I went there to see Greta helping him brin

Sienna’s povThe hall looked large and beautiful when we walked in. It looked like something one would see in a movie or a fairytale.You could hear music playing quietly in the background. It was a mix of violins and people talking in voices. Everything sounded very fancy and far away. I looked around. I saw that everyone was wearing really fancy clothes. They were all smiling. Anthony's hand was resting lightly at the small of my back. It was a touch but it felt nice to know he was here with me."Relax, " he said softly near my ear as we walked all the way inside. “You are doing fine.”"I have not done anything yet."“That is exactly it.”This was our first big event together. It was the time people would see us as a real couple not just something they heard about or read in the news. We were finally standing together side by side as a couple.“My wife, Sienna,” Anthony said to the group we walked up to.Every time he said it my chest would get really tight. A woman came up to me

Sienna’s povI looked into the mirror and found that I was stressed out.I didn’t wait as I removed my clothes until I was in my underwear, then I started taking little measurements of my stomach with my hands. I had no bump yet, but it was still weird that I was pregnant.I entered the bathroom to soak myself in the water I had left there before going for the interview that day.I was glad I had done it before leaving. I thanked my past self for helping my future self, which was my present.While I stayed there, my phone buzzed as I looked at it. It was a thank you message from the company for me applying for the post of the executive assistant position. They said they would send me a message in two weeks. I sighed, laid my head back, and dropped my phone down.This gala that I was going to with Anthony, I wondered if this was going to be a gala filled with good things or a gala filled with bad. I didn’t want to meet with anybody. And from what I had seen, Anthony and Xander mixed wi

Sienna’s POVThe interview room was really cold. I did not think it would be that cold when I walked in. The air conditioning was not the thing that felt sharp. Everything about that room felt that way. The table was made of glass. The interviewer looked at me like she wasn’t here to play.“Have a seat,” she said to me as I nodded.“Oh, thank you,” I said, then I pulled the chair back and sat down. I smoothed out my skirt so it was nice and neat, over my knees.She gave a professional smile. “Mrs miller,” she called my new surname as I nodded. “I’ll be handling your interview today.”She looked down at her tablet. "You put in an application for the assistant job at the company,” she said, looking at the executive assistant position, on her tablet. “Yes.”“And from what I see here, it’s says you used to work at your fathers company. This was before you got married.”“Yes.”She looked up. "Can you tell me what your job was, at that place?"I nodded quickly feeling thankful for the qu

Xander’s povThe bank managers voice shook. "Sir I…"I cut him off with a laugh. "Do you think there’s anyone more powerful than me?”There was silence on the line before he spoke, "I... I cannot say, sir."“You are going to sit and not answer the question I asked you?”Diane leaned forward, starting to massage my back really slowly. Her fingers were gentle as they worked out the knots in my shoulders. I took a breath and let out a heavy feeling. The warmth of Diane's touch helps to calm me down. It was really nice to have Diane massage my back like that. It made the annoyance I was feeling start to fade."Keep the account locked."The bank manager sighed, "For how long?" I did not answer. I ended the call. I then turned my head a little to see Diane smirk up at me.“This is your chance to get back at Sienna huh,” she smiled. "Of course it is, " I said. The thing is, without her money she will really struggle to get by. “Money is what she needs to survive. She is basically helpless

Anthony’s POVThe study had a smell of leather and wood when we entered. The sun was shining in the morning. It was coming across my desk. It was hitting the side of my laptop screen, bouncing off the paperweight that Randy gave me for Christmas. Randy sat across from me. He was looking through a big pile of papers and leaning back a little in his chair. He was telling me what we had to do that day. “…If the settlement does not go through by Thursday I will have to file a motion. That is minor compared to the Grayson case. There is something about the Grayson case that is really bothering me.”I nodded when I was supposed to. At least I think I did. The thing is, my mind was not really on the contracts and all the little details, like clauses and stuff like that. My mind was somewhere else.Randy stopped talking all of a sudden. "Anthony?"I blinked. "Huh?""Are you even paying attention to what I'm saying?" His face looked really worried. For once he did not smile at me when I was
