Sienna:“How could you be so fucking reckless?” Damon snapped as he reflected on his anger. “How the hell could you allow this to happen in the first place?”“What are you talking about? What the hell did I do?” I asked, frowning in confusion at his question. He couldn't be seriously asking me somet
Damon:I walked out of the Infirmary, each step heavier than the previous one. My mind played with the image of Sienna refusing to even look at her own child.The way that she looks away from her, the way that her face twisted with pain and rejection made my chest ache. And though I couldn't decide
“Recovering,” She repeated, raising an eyebrow at me. “And you? What are you doing, Damon? Are you helping her? Supporting her? Or are you just standing by, blaming her for everything? I saw how you looked at her and I saw how she was looking at you. What are you doing to help her out, Damon?”“I di
Sienna:“Good morning.” Luna Evelyn said, entering the room. I was already awake. I hadn't eaten anything. I refused to do so. I just thought as I stared into space, wondering how it was going to be dealing with everything that I had to deal with. Wondering how I was going to cope with things here.
Hesitantly, I followed her instructions. The moment Isla latched on, a strange mix of pain and warmth spread through me. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I watched her feed, her tiny hands curling against me.“She’s strong, just like her mother,” Evelyn said with a small smile. “And I'm pretty sure
Damon:I slammed the door to my office harder than I intended to do so.However, the annoyance that simmered beneath my skin threatened to boil over, wanting me to make everybody's life hell for the situation that I was living in, though I knew that I could not actually blamed them for it. I blamed
Sienna:The Infirmary was oddly quiet today.The only sound that I heard throughout the whole day was the rustling of the nurses in the hallway.The dim glow of the bed side lamp beside me cast the shaft shadow across the room, making this space feel even more isolated. Technically, most likely beca
I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, my lips lingering there for a moment. A strange sense of peace settled over me, and I let my eyes flutter closed, just for a moment, savoring the quiet, the warmth, the weight of my daughter in my arms."You and me, kid," I whispered, barely aware that I was e
Delilah:The sound of the gunshot rang louder than it should have.It made my heart drop to my stomach and for a few moments I felt like everything around me just seemed to explode.One second I was stepping outside the building, I was walking out believing that maybe we had hope, maybe this was jus
Damon:I didn't expect to see her walk through the door.Even when I called her sounds, considering the fact that Sienna did not come and report to me, I expected it to be a mistake. I expected that something else was going on, that maybe she was just roaming around.But when I saw her walking throu
Giovanni:The silence in my office was never just silence.It was a weapon. A weight. A promise.The last thing that I would have expected was to send men following her, the one woman that I expected to never betray me. But if her mother had done so, why was I surprised when she did?I took a whiff
“Whatever you have to say, spill it out.”“I need your help.”That froze her.For just a second, the steel in her spine wavered. “What did you say?”“I said I need your help.”She stared at me, unsure if this was another game, another manipulation. Her jaw clenched.“You have a funny way of asking f
Delilah:The walls of the office were too white.Too clean. Too polished.And no matter how hard I wanted to deny it, no matter how much I was despising being here, I knew that I needed to be.I needed help, and I knew that they were the only people who would be willing to help with something like t
Sienna:I told myself I was just taking a walk.I told myself that I just needed a break, that I was going to be all right, that this was just a moment of weakness where I needed to find myself.I took a deep breath as I walked down the western corridor, where the windows were tall and the sunlight
I laughed, stepping closer. “You’re getting attached. That’s dangerous.”“She’s my sister,” Delilah hissed. “And I'm going to start acting like it. Or is it because you deprived the two of us from being together, from growing up by one another side that you are furious that I'm actually taking the c
Giovanni:The door creaked open, the scent of ash and leather wafting into the grand marble foyer like a warning. I stepped inside, boots echoing with cold authority across the polished floor. Silence wrapped around the place like a shroud.Everything seemed calm, far too delicate in a way that I di
Damon:She didn’t say anything at first.Not since we left the office. Not since the two of us were inside the car.We sat in the car with the silence between us stretched thin, tight like a wire pulled to its breaking point. I didn’t push her. I didn’t reach for her. I let her sit in it, breathe th
