LOGIN*SIENNA*How is she even able to have this rich guy completely under her spell?”She must be so good in bed. Sarah muttered, and they all grinned.I realized it would be useless to go in there and defend myself…No one would believe me, and I might only embarrass myself further.I turned around and walked back to my office.I sat down, disheartened.At this point, I felt fated to live an unhappy life.Serena walked into my office.Sarah is going on and on talking rubbish about you.I rested against the chair…Ignore her. The gossip will fade away soon enough.I'm okay," I said.Also, I discovered why she’s always acted so nasty toward you.Why? I asked, sitting up.The person she thinks is an executive here isn’t. It’s actually the boss’s girlfriend, Kayla. Kayla is a famous artist… always traveling internationally for her work. “Sarah is her relative. I believe she got a job in this company because Kayla helped her and spoke to the boss.I understand,” I said with a nod.I’ll retur
*SIENNA*I didn’t want Ethan to get into trouble because of me, so I swallowed my pride and pleaded with Lena to let it go…Lena, please…I’m sorry. He didn’t mean to hurt you. It was an accident. If you’re angry, direct it at me.She scoffed. “So you expect me to just ignore the fact that your lover laid a hand on me?The murmurs around us grew louder.Why was she so intent on disgracing me completely?“If you keep making these claims, I will deal with her. Ethan warned.She covered her face with her hand again and stepped back.You think the world centers on you because you’re wealthy and influential… you think you can silence me!” she screamed at Ethan.Two lawyers walked up and pulled Lena aside.I could hear them trying to convince her to accept a settlement.She named a hefty amount, and they agreed.She looked at me and then she left.Ethan took my hand and led me into his office.I felt embarrassed and sad as I sat down.I saw him bring over a first-aid kit.He came closer and
*SIENNA*Very early the next morning, I arrived at Sunrise Orphanage.I couldn’t leave without bringing something, so I bought a lot of things for the kids.I was greeted warmly, and the sisters were very thankful for my gift.The head of the orphanage, who identified herself as Mrs. Eleanor, was a woman in her fifties.She led me to her office, and I explained my reason for visiting in a polite manner.She was very kind and she asked an assistant to bring the adoption records from last year.My hands shook as I skimmed through the pages.I was frantically looking for Elvis’s picture.My breath caught as soon as I spotted it.The record matched exactly what Alexander had said.Elvis had been left at the orphanage as a newborn, and Alexander had taken him in when he was only a month old.I gently closed the book.I should have listened to Clara and kept my hopes in check… but I couldn’t help it.I still can’t get over the loss of my babies.I expressed my thanks to Mrs. Eleanor and lef
*SIENNA*Oh… please, come in. Elvis is asleep at the moment.” Benita led me inside.I stopped the baby’s bed in the living room.I crept over and gazed at the sweet little guy.He was resting soundly on his side…“Miss Vale, would you like to have some juice?” Benita offered.“Yes, please.” I stepped away from the bed and settled on the sofa.Benita came into the living room and gave me a glass of juice.When I had been away for a few days, I was afraid Elvis might have a hard time adjusting to not seeing me. I was relieved that he seemed comfortable with your presence.”I smiled.I wanted to spend time with him every single day."So...have you been looking after him since he was born?" I asked carefully."Actually...I started working here right after Mr Graves adopted him."Yes...he mentioned that to me...who could possibly abandon such a sweet child?""I wonder the same thing. What were his birth parents thinking?""Do you know which orphanage Mr Graves got him from?" I asked with c
*SIENNA*It had only been two days since I left Elvis.During lunch, I invited Clara to a restaurant near our workplace.“You’re just picking at your food,” she said. I exhaled and laid the cutlery on the table.What’s troubling you, Sienna?I don't know. I haven’t been able to sleep properly for two days. Is this about a man?I gave her a sharp look. “No!”Then what’s bothering you?I sighed quietly and told her everything that had happened over the past few days.“I can’t stop thinking about that baby,” I said softly.Is it because your babies would have been the same age as him?I shrugged slightly. “I guess.Did Alexander look like the type that will adopt a child?I can’t imagine him doing that. My lips pressed together. “I found it strange too. But he said he adopted the child because he helped him stay steady. Granted, Elvis is an adorable baby. Still, I keep wishing he were my son. I can’t get past the fact that Alexander said otherwise.“Why don’t you find out more about th
*SIENNA*Who’s a good boy?” I whispered as I made my way down the stairs with Elvis in my arms. I couldn’t help smiling when I saw Benita arranging the living room.“Oh, you’re back. How are you feeling?” I asked.She grinned back at me . “I’m fine now. I can see that you and Elvis got along nicely.I smiled down at the baby in my arms.Yes… we did.”“Breakfast is ready,” she told me.I nodded and walked into the dining room with Elvis.I saw Alexander wearing a white shirt… he was sitting there, holding a newspaper in his hand.He didn’t look at me… and I didn’t say hey to him.“Dada… dada…I realized he was trying to say “daddy,” and it was such a joy to hear.Alexander set his newspaper aside and smiled at his little boy.“My little prince is awake… Did you sleep well?” He reached out and ruffled his hair softly. I brought the baby’s specially prepared breakfast and tried to feed him, but he kept tilting his head away.“Come on, Elvis… you have to eat.” I urged, but he still didn
