~Sienna~

My heels clicks softly against the marble as I walk toward the boardroom, my tablet clutched against my chest.

The email from the mangement had come in less than an hour ago. A mandatory meeting for all department heads and secretaries present, and the presence of the CEO.

Norman is back.

The whole office feels tense, quieter than usual, people moves briskly through the hallways, whispering in low tones.

I inhale softly before pushing open the double glass door.

The boardroom hums

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 121: Stay Right Here

    ~Sienna~ I lunge for my phone on the nightstand, but Norman’s hand shoots out, pinning my wrist to the wooden surface before I can grab it. "Put the phone down, Sienna," he rumbles, his chest pressing against my back as he traps me between his body and the edge of the bed. "I just need to check on them, Norman! Just one call to Mom," I argue, twisting in his grip. "What if Noah is crying? What if Naysa won't take her bottle from Nova? I’m just worried. Just give me a moment." Norman doesn't even budge. Instead, he spins me around, his large hands sliding firmly over my waist to lift me onto the edge of the high mattress. He steps between my knees, leaning down until our noses touch. "Your mother has raised you single-handedly, and Nova is more than capable of watching her siblings for one night," he whispers, his voice thick with a playful, dangerous warning. "The babies are fine. But right now, you are in my hands. And I haven't forgotten the promise you made me on the living roo

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 120: Husband

    ~Sienna~The small, flesh-colored bud in my ear hums with a faint, electric sound as Nova pulls the zipper of my silk gown upward. The sound of the teeth locking together feels final, like a gate closing. To Nova, who is fussing over the lace on my sleeves and humming a wedding march, I am just a nervous bride. But every crackle in that earpiece is a heartbeat in a high-stakes game. My hands are steady, but my mind is a tactical map."You look breathtaking, Sienna," my mother whispers as she steps into the bridal suite. She looks radiant in her champagne-colored dress, her strength fully returned, her eyes clear and bright. She reaches out, smoothing a stray lock of my hair with a hand that no longer trembles. "Are you ready, sweetheart?""More than ready, Mom," I say, forcing a smile while my brain tracks the low, deep voice of the security lead in my ear.“Target is on-site,” the voice whispers. “Disguised in a blonde wig and oversized glasses. She’s moving toward the garden entranc

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 119: Deal

    ~Sienna~I grip the steering wheel, my knuckles white against the leather as I adjust the rearview mirror. For the third time in ten minutes, the black sedan makes the same turn I do, keeping a steady, haunting distance of two blocks. My heart doesn't race with the same paralyzing fear it once did, instead, it burns with a cold, sharp anger.I hit the Bluetooth icon on the dashboard. It doesn't even ring twice before Norman’s voice fills the car."Sienna? Are you finished with the fitting? I’m just getting the kids settled.""Norman, the car is behind me again," I say, my voice remarkably steady. "The same black sedan from Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m coming from the boutique, and it’s been on my tail since the highway exit. Tell me you’ve identified the plates. Is it her?"There is a brief, heavy silence on the other end, followed by the sound of Norman’s sharp intake of breath. I can practically feel his protective instincts surging through the phone."It’s her," Norman says, his voic

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 118: You Have My Heart

    ~Sienna~"Fred, if you give Noah one more piece of bacon, he’s going to turn into a piglet," I laugh, reaching across the massive breakfast table to swipe the greasy treat away from my son's reaching fingers.Noah lets out a playful screech, bouncing in his high chair, while Fred holds up his hands in mock surrender. He has only been back from his business trip for two days, and he is already the favorite uncle, mostly because he has no concept of baby-safe diets."He looks at me with those big eyes, Sienna," Fred defends himself, grinning as he adjusts his glasses. "The kid is a natural negotiator. He’s going to be just like Norman.""God help us all if there are two of them," Nova chimes in, leaning her head on Fred’s shoulder. She looks radiant, the stress of the past few weeks finally gone now that her husband is home and her family is safe.Norman, sitting at the head of the table, doesn't even look up. "I heard that, Nova. And for the record, Noah’s negotiation tactics are far m

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 117: Future Looks Bright

    ~Sienna~A Week LaterThe morning sun streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Norman’s mansion, painting everything in a warm, peaceful glow. For the first time in what feels like forever, the air in the house doesn't feel heavy with worry. I stand in front of the hallway mirror, smoothing down the fabric of my professional blazer. It feels strange but wonderful to be putting on work clothes again. My mind feels sharp, and my heart feels light. The nightmare of Julian is fading into the background, replaced by the solid, reality of the ring on my finger and the man currently watching me from the doorway.Norman is leaning against the frame, already dressed in one of his custom-made suits. He looks powerful and handsome, but his eyes have that familiar, narrowed look he gets whenever I talk about leaving the house for something other than a date with him."You're really going back today?" he asks, his voice dropping into that low, protective rumble."I am," I say, turning arou

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 116: My Fiancé And Son

    ~Sienna~ THREE DAYS LATER The drive back from the courthouse is quiet. The hum of the tires against the road is the only sound in the car. I look out the window, watching the city of Chicago pass by, and even with Julian locked up, I still can’t find the peace I crave. The sentencing was intense. Julian looked like a shadow of the man I used to know. He seems to have aged within the short time of his stay in the prison. The doctors and the judge agreed that he is mentally unstable. He isn't going to a regular prison, he is being sent to a high-security mental institution. Norman leaned over to me in the courtroom and whispered a promise. He promised he will use every bit of his power and money to make sure Julian stays confined there for the rest of his life. He will never be a threat to me, my mother, or our babies again. I’m happy it’s all can breathe, but as I look at Norman’s profile, his jaw set tight, his eyes focused on the road, my heart feels heavy. Today is the third

    ~Sienna~I can’t recognize the person before me. She’s not the Nova that I know, not my best friend.The eyes staring at me are full of anger and fury, if they had hands they’d wrap around my throat and choke me to death without blinking.My body shakes as I drag down my skirt. My hands tremble whi

He leans into his seat, his eyes trailing my every step.“Here,” he parts his thigh, shifting back his chair for more room.I walk
