~Sienna~

The taxi pull up to the shimmering glass tower of Gray Stone Luxury Real Estate, and for a moment, I can’t breathe. This building used to be my sanctuary, the place where I built my career and lost my heart. Now, it feels like a gilded cage. Like a trap that I’m walking into.

I smooth my skirt and step into the lobby. I immediately notice the change. The familiar face at the front desk is gone, replaced by a polished young woman who looks like she belongs on a runway. She doesn't know

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 84: Leave Me Alone

    ~Sienna~The living room is a chaotic, beautiful mess of primary colors and soft babies laughter. I’m lying flat on the rug, the plush carpet fibers tickling my neck, while Naysa uses my chest as a human pillow. Her small, rhythmic breathing is the most grounding sound in the world. A few feet away, Nyomi is determinedly dragging a plastic dinosaur across the hardwood, while Noah sits beside her, watching the toy’s tail wag with wide, fascinated eyes.I can’t stop being grateful for how well my little princess bounce back. Each of them means the world to me. I can’t trade them for anything, and I’ll always make sure to prove that every damn time. On the television, a bright yellow duck is singing a repetitive rhyme about shapes, but I’ve tuned it out."You see that, Noah?" I whisper, pointing toward the dinosaur. "Nyomi is going to be an expert in animal studies one day. Or maybe a great fighter. She’s got the muscle for it."Noah babbles something that sounds suspiciously like a pro

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 83: Heavy Secret

    ~Sienna~The sliding glass doors of the city hospital hiss open, and I’m running before they even clear my path. The smell of antiseptic hits me like a physical blow, making my stomach churn. I find her in the pediatric waiting area. My mother is pacing, her face pale and her eyes red-rimmed. "Mom!" I gasp, reaching her side. My breath is coming in ragged hitches. "Where is she? Where’s Nyomi? Can I see her?""The doctors are with her now, Sienna," my mother says, her voice trembling. "They wouldn't let me stay in the room while they started the IV. They said we have to wait here."I feel like the floor is dropping out from under me. "What happened? Mom, why did you call the ambulance? Was it that bad?""I didn't know what else to do," she cries, covering her mouth with her hand. "I’m new to the city, Sienna. I didn't know where the nearest clinic was, and she was so hot, so incredibly hot. I just dialed the emergency services. I wanted help for her before I even called you. I was so

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 82: Things I Don’t Want

    ~Sienna~ The hum of the office air conditioning is the only thing keeping me grounded. I’m staring at a spreadsheet, but the numbers are blurring into meaningless shapes. My body feels heavy, a lingering ache in my thighs reminding me of exactly where I was three hours before the sun came up. The door to my office swings open without a knock, and Elias strolls in, looking far too energetic for someone who just spent three hours in a zoning committee meeting. He tosses his leather satchel onto my guest chair and leans against my desk with a wide, boyish grin. "You look like you've seen a ghost, Sienna," he says, reaching over to tap the corner of my monitor. "Or maybe you just haven't had enough caffeine. I, on the other hand, am starving. I just got back, and I took the liberty of ordering that Thai place you like. It should be at my desk in ten minutes." I force a smile, my heart giving a guilty little tug. "Elias, you’re a lifesaver, but I actually already ate. A late breakfast t

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 81: Can’t Let You Go

    ~Norman~The silence in the bedroom is a physical weight. After the door clicks shut behind Sienna, the space feels twice as large and ten times as cold. I stand by the French window, my chest bare and my black suit pants hanging low on my hips. I don't move. I just watch.The taxi’s headlights cut through the gray, early morning mist of the driveway. I watch the red glow of the tail lights until they disappear around the bend of the estate, leaving me in total darkness. She’s gone. Again. And every time she leaves, it feels like she’s taking a piece of my lung with her, making it harder to breathe.I reach for my phone on the nightstand and dial Victor. He answers on the first ring."Is she in?" I rasp, my voice still thick from sleep and her."The taxi just pulled out of the gates, sir," Victor’s voice is calm, professional. "My man is two cars behind. She’s safe. No signs of Liliana’s people. No threats.""Keep him there," I command. "If she so much as trips on the sidewalk, I want

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Chapter 80: Last Night Didn’t Change Anything

    ~Sienna~The drive to Norman’s house is suffocating. And it’s got nothing to do with the car, it’s the air between us. Every time he shifts gears, his arm brushes mine, and it feels like an electric shock. I keep my eyes fixed on the window, watching the city lights blur, but I can feel him looking at me. That heavy, possessive stare of his makes my skin itch in a way I can’t describe.The alcohol is still buzzing in my system, making everything feel a bit fuzzy, but my heart is beating perfectly clear. Thump-thump. Thump-thump. It’s loud in my ears.Then, as we turn into the private road leading to his estate, reality hits me like a bucket of ice water.Liliana.His wife. The mother of his daughter. The woman who is supposed to be waiting for him in that big, empty house."Oh my God," I whisper, my hand flying to my mouth. "How could I? What am I doing?Norman doesn't slow down. He keeps his eyes on the road, his grip tightening on the steering wheel. "What's wrong?""Where is she, N

    ~Sienna~The day has finally arrived. The air in the boardroom at Gray Stone is thick with the scent of floor wax and expensive printer ink. Everywhere is spotless and sparkling. I move around the long table, laying out the final joint-venture contracts and the glossy property portfolios.My hands are steady, but my heart is racing for a different reason today. This is it. The handover. After today, the collaboration is officially complete. I’ll be free from the burning stares, the accidental brushes of skin, and the suffocating presence of Norman Garrison.I look up and catch him standing by the window. He’s in a foul mood, I can feel the tension radiating off him like a physical heat. He hasn't said a word to me all morning, his jaw set in a hard, jagged line.I don’t care. It’s none of my business. Just a few more hours, just a few more and it’s over, I keep telling myself. Then you never have to step foot in this building again.The meeting begins when the primary client arrives,

    ~Sienna~I hear the loud clanging of metals banging against each other as I enter the building. The air is dusty and tight, someone could get sick standing here for too long.I pull up the nose mask on my face, and rub my head, walking further into the building .I wish I wasn’t here.I love my job

    ~Sienna~“Come over here,” Norman says as the door closes behind me.His jacket is discarded somewhere on the couch, the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his forearms. 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
