Sienna stood listening to nurse Gina Harvey, who was the CNO (Chief Nursing Officer), and their Supervisor at Bellevue. After Lucas had summoned her, she had come rushing to his room while Sienna trembled in one corner not knowing what to do. If he complained once about her, she would lose her job. However, thankfully Lucas hadn’t said a word against her. He only demanded that Sienna should be allocated exclusively to him, as his caregiver.
“Ms. Hensley is just an intern, Mr. Donnelly. I’ll arrange for a more experienced nurse for you. We have the best here,” said nurse Harvey to please him more. Sienna prayed that he agreed to nurse Harvey. She wouldn’t be able to stay 24/7 with him! She would go insane!
“I don’t want anyone else. I want only Sienna Hensley as my nurse else I’ll refuse all treatment at your
“Who are you? Where’s Sienna?” Growled a furious Lucas. Nurse Susanna looked at the furious man and massaged her temples. She wondered how the poor intern handled this raging bull!“Sienna has gone home. Her duty ends at 6 o’clock, Mr. Donnelly,” she informed him. “I’m on night duty here,” she added.“Summon nurse Harvey immediately. I thought I specifically told her that I want Sienna exclusively and no one else,” he continued, feeling more upset than ever. How could Sienna go home without informing him?The door opened and his family came over to visit him. Lucas groaned seeing his mom, granny and Marcus come into the room. They might have heard him yelling from down the corridor! “What’s wrong, Lucas? You seem upset with something
It was morning and a stressed Sienna drove to the hospital to face Lucas again. The whole night she tossed and turned unable to sleep. Thoughts of Roman and his threats kept her awake. It was easier said than done. She knew that if she declined him, he would get them evicted without another warning. They would be stranded and the only place left would be to go back to Sienna’s parents' house. Roman knew how lonely she felt there. This was a ploy to get her to bow down to his wishes. He knew how the walls caved in on her there, the memories haunted her, made her feel claustrophobic. Added to that was the fact that Roman's house next door would literally have him staying over with them! And he would brainwash her day and night to move in with him and marry him as soon as possible. No, it would be the worst punishment possible! Was there any way out of this mess? If only her dad had consulted her before committing her life and future to Roman! 
Sienna hurried back to Lucas’s room with a frown on her face. She knew what consequences Roman was talking about. The question was when he would punish them. Would it be today or tomorrow?“What’s the matter? Boyfriend problems?” Asked Lucas curiously. He just realized that apart from the kiss that they had shared, he didn’t know anything about her. Did she have a boyfriend? A beautiful woman like her would have many admirers, he couldn’t be the only one! The thought made his blood boil. He wanted to be the only one! He wanted to be the only one who kissed her, the only one who touched her. His whole body tingled at that thought. He took a deep breath to push those sinful thoughts away. ‘Not now, Lucas!’ he chided himself.To his immense surprise, Sienna nodded without even attempting to answe
The next morning, Sienna was ready with her luggage. She loaded hers onto her car while Alyssa took Eva’s stuff with her to her apartment. After duty, Eva would directly go there. Strangely Alex hadn’t appeared although he had promised and Eva looked a little disappointed. “Don’t worry, he’ll be waiting for you at Alyssa’s apartment. Mark my words,” giggled Sienna. Eva rolled her eyes at her but couldn’t control the blush that gave her away.“Shut up and go and handle the hot Donnelly. Call me to update,” said Eva, and Sienna stuck her tongue out at her. Both friends parted ways and Sienna drove to the hospital nervously not knowing what lay ahead for her! ‘I’ll be very professional with him!’ chanted Sienna in her head all the way.Upon reaching the nurse’s stati
Sienna walked over to the door indicated by Maria and took a peek. It was a medium-sized room and beautifully furnished in pale beige and burgundy shades. The queen-sized bed looked quite inviting but it was the balcony that caught her breath away. The wrap-around balcony had the most breathtaking views of the Hudson River that she’d ever seen.“Do you like it?” Asked Lucas from his bed. The attendants had left and so had Maria. Sienna turned to look at him.“Yes, it’s beautiful,” she told him.“Now help me sit up. I’m tired of lying down since morning,” said Lucas with a displeased look on his face. Sienna walked up to him and slipped an arm under his shoulders. She gently pulled him up in a sitting position. Lucas gazed at her, mesmerized by her nea
“Sit,” ordered Lucas, his hungry eyes taking her in, waiting for her to protest. The woman was bursting with sensuality and it turned him on every time she was near him but it seemed as if she was unaware of the power that she had over him. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have been so calm and controlled. He was a tornado who believed in sweeping you off your feet in the blink of an eye. His ways were not gentle and controlled at all! But Sienna didn’t know that from the brief kiss that she had simply shared with him. Her eyes widened at the implication. Would he kiss her again? “Eat,” he ordered. Sienna shook her head.“No, this is for you. I’ll eat later. You need to eat to regain your strength, Mr. Donnelly,” she said sternly. Lucas looked pissed off at her words. What would he have to do to make her call him Lucas? He was dying to hear her u
Roman glared back at Lucas, fuming with anger. “You don’t exactly look bedridden to me. Get yourself another nurse. Sienna isn’t available for your games, Mr. Donnelly,” stated Roman. Sienna was tired of his high-handedness. Who was he to manhandle her all the time?Lucas looked at him with a poker face, his cold eyes checking Roman out, disapprovingly. "I'm sure Sienna is an adult and can decide for herself. She doesn’t need you to dictate her around. So why are you here? Are you afraid that she might choose me over you?” asked Lucas with a victorious smirk. Sienna’s jaws dropped at the turn in their conversation. What was Lucas saying? Had he gone crazy?“How dare you talk to me in that tone, Mr. Donnelly?” shouted Roman, livid with anger.&ld
After that bombshell of an order, Sienna returned to her room and was about to close the connecting door between them, when Lucas stopped her.“Leave that open, Sienna,” he ordered, his eyes gazing into hers, daring her to protest.“You can just buzz me on my mobile phone tonight whenever you need me, Lucas. Tomorrow I’ll arrange for a buzzer but I can’t sleep with the door open,” she told him. Lucas glared at her. How dare she disobey his orders?“I’m the patient here and you’re here to take care of me. I want that damn door left open. No more arguments,” he gritted out, his eyes blazing with the fire that he felt within him. He was too frustrated that she was leaving his side. If he would have been better, he would have pinned her under him an
