LOGINHey Lovies, 💕 How’s the story going? Are you enjoying it?
~Sienna~One month later.My heels click across the frosted glass floor of the hotel lobby. Everywhere dazzles and shimmers with wealth and luxury, the kind you can’t just get with money, but with connections, too.This is the highest, most grand, luxurious hotel in Chicago.I don’t expect anything less from the Garrisons. They have the money. They have the connections. And they know exactly how to use them.I clutch my bag tighter and move forward, throwing a glance over my shoulder at Elias, who’s dragging our luggage behind him.His eyes are wide with awe as he scans the towering ceilings, the cascading crystal chandeliers, the polished marble pillars that look like they belong in a palace instead of a hotel. When he catches me looking, he grins and gives me a wink.I shake my head, a small smile tugging at my lips, and continue toward the reception desk.The front desk is carved stone trimmed with gold, the receptionist poised and flawless in a tailored suit that probably costs mo
~Sienna~My butt hits the bed the moment I glimpse the first sentence in the letter. My hands tremble as they clutch the gold, shimmering paper, the edges crinkling beneath my grip.A wedding.A motherfucking wedding, and she wants me to be her maid of honor.Fuck.I didn’t see that coming. Not even a little.I had looked forward to this day. We joked about it, even about having our weddings on the same day, but after all that happened, I didn’t expect her to reach out to me for the occasion.I mean, it’s a big day for her, and she wants to have the friend who betrayed her with her. Even though it wasn’t intentional, I still betrayed our friendship.What has she been up to? What made her decide to reach out?I had thought she would never consider our friendship again. That she had chosen to forget us.So she had actually thought of me. Thought about me all this while. She still remembers me. Still values what we had, what we were. Our relationship wasn’t erased, wasn’t buried as deep
~Sienna~“Surprise!”I freeze. My steps pause at the door, my hands tighten on the knob. The room is full. Familiar faces and close colleagues. Some of Elias’s staff and also my personal assistant. Their faces are wide with beaming smiles, they stand gathered in the living room. Colorful balloons. Blue. Pink. It’s decorated around the living room. Three cakes are lined up on the center table, my babies names are written on it. My heart leaps with excitement. I can’t contain my laughter as my lips widen and I double over. I turn back to Elias, smiling. “It’s is mind blowing.”He shrugs, his hands clasping on the baby’s strollers. Noah and Naysa are both curl up in the coziness. “You didn’t say it’s going to be this much,” my mom chuckles, pushing Nyomi forward in her stroller. He grins and winks at her. I push the door wider and step inside, then step aside for Elias and my mom. “Welcome back home, Miss Sienna and congratulations.”“Welcome home babies,”Their voices rings o
~Sienna~I sigh softly and nuzzle deeply into the softness. It’s warm and embracing. I just want to stay here like this.But a sudden distant cry rings in my ears and I frown. I squeeze my eyes tighter, but the sound gets louder. I can’t block it out no matter how much I try.Where am I? Why is there a baby here?A baby?My babies. I move my hands, wanting to feel my bump, to know how my babies are doing, but my hands feel heavy.I try to move them, so bare, but I only feel my fingers twitch. Then slowly, like a rewind tape, everything comes back into my mind.The pain, the fear, the cries, the tiredness, the voices. My eyes blink open, then close back from the light.The crying has disappeared. It’s like it was only in my mind earlier.My hands move to my stomach, and the big bump is gone, but it’s still a little bigger than my usual size.Everywhere is quiet, but I can hear the sound of movement and hushed voices.I open my eyes again, groaning at the harshness of the light.“Sienna
~Sienna~Tears run down my face as I stand by the door, I don’t bother stopping it. My hands tremble as I wrap them around my stomach, hugging my babies.It feels like a dream. I still can’t believe I’ll be able to meet them soon. In three weeks, they will be here. I’ll bring them home. To this beautiful, magical room.My eyes shift around the spacious room, the painted yellow walls, the cribs and a whole bunch of kids’ stuff in the room.I lift my foot, shaking and stepping inside. My heart beams with so much joy as I continue to walk in. I stop before the three white cribs and my hand reaches out to the toys adorned on them.My lips widen, stretching wide into a proud smile even as the tears trickle down my face.I gasp and quickly tighten the other hand on my stomach as another sharp pain tears through my womb.Tiny. Fast. Slight.It’s a little more painful than the one I had earlier, or maybe I’m just too sensitive.My breathing slows, stuttering as I slowly blow out through my mo
~Sienna~I gasp.My eyes go wide and my lips part as I stare at the figure before me, walking toward my bed.Norman.He looks just as handsome and strong as I’ve known him to be. It’s like those months apart didn’t happen.Like it hasn’t been that long since I last saw him.His three-piece suit hugs his lean, muscular frame. He even looks taller. Or maybe it’s because I’m lying down on the bed.His eyes are heated, dark, and focused on me. And he moves closer.What is he doing here? How did he know my hometown, and where’s my mom?I didn’t call him last night. I didn’t. I typed his number and erased it. Or did I unknowingly press the call button? I didn’t. I’m sure I erased the number.Then what is he doing here? How did he get here?I shift and press my palm into the mattress to sit up, but he grabs my legs and climbs into bed.I stiffen. My breath becomes shallow, and my hands squeeze the bedsheets tightly.He kneels between my legs and pushes my thighs apart. The short nightdress I
