Chapter 28

Morning light poured through the windows. Too bright. Too cheerful. Wrong for how Sienna felt inside.

The dining table was set perfectly. White plates. Silver forks. Orange juice in crystal glasses. Like they were a normal family having a normal breakfast.

They weren't.

Sienna sat with her hands folded in her lap. Her stomach twisted into knots so tight she could barely breathe.

She hadn't slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Carmen's face. Heard her voice. I hope she destroys you.

Noah sat across from her, relaxed for the first time in days. His shoulders loose. His smile easy.

"This is nice," he said, spreading butter on his toast. "All of us together like this. Feels like old times."

Old times. Before everything fell apart.

Sienna forced a smile. It felt like her face might crack. "Yeah. Nice."

Noah took a bite of his toast. Chewed. Swallowed. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Carmen texted last night."

Sienna's blood turned to ice. Her hands gripped the edge of the t

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 62

    Chapter 62The penthouse was too quiet.Landon stood by the window, glass of whiskey in his hand. The city lights blurred into nothing. He'd been staring at them for an hour. Maybe two. Time didn't exist anymore.All he could see was her face.Sienna at that café. Sitting across from Noah. Smiling. Talking. Like Landon didn't exist. Like their night together meant nothing. Like he meant nothing.His grip tightened on the glass. The image wouldn't leave. Every time he blinked, there she was. Noah's hand covering hers. Her lips moving. Her eyes soft.For him. For Noah. Not for Landon.He remembered how she used to look at him. That night on the beach. The way her eyes caught the firelight. The way she laughed when he said something stupid. The way she fit against him like she belonged there.Now?Now she looked at Noah that way."Damn it," he muttered.The whiskey scalded down his throat, the taste almost sweet with misery. He poured another. The burn didn't help. Nothing helped.He tho

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 61

    Chapter 61The rain hadn't stopped.Noah stood outside the café, water soaking through everything. He watched Sienna's car disappear around the corner. Red lights blurring into nothing.Gone.His chest felt hollow. Like someone had reached in and scooped everything out.When Landon showed up, when that bastard walked in like he owned her, Noah felt something darker twist in his gut. Something that made him glad when Landon lost control.Because if Landon was breaking, maybe Sienna would finally see.See what? A voice whispered. That you're just as broken?He pulled out his phone with shaking fingers.**Isabella:** *You did well tonight. Meet me.*This was wrong. He knew it. But Sienna wouldn't even look at him anymore. And Landon had everything Noah wanted. Everything Noah had lost.He remembered Sienna's smile. The real one. Before all this started. Before Landon came back and destroyed everything.What if she never smiled at him like that again?He typed: *Where?***Isabella:** *Sky

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 60

    Chapter 60The city lights flickered behind him. Cold. Distant.Landon stood at his penthouse window. Glass in hand. Whiskey burning his throat but doing nothing to numb the ache in his chest.He'd been here for hours. Trying not to think about her. Trying not to see her face every time he closed his eyes.It wasn't working.His phone buzzed on the counter. Unknown number.He almost ignored it. Almost.But something made him pick it up.A photo loaded on the screen.His breath stopped.Sienna. In a café. Sitting across from Noah. Close. Too close.She was smiling. Faintly. But smiling.And Noah was looking at her the way he used to. Like she was his whole world.Heat flooded Landon's chest. Not anger yet. Something worse. Something that felt like drowning.He zoomed in. Looked at her face. Her expression. Soft. Open. The way she used to look before everything got complicated."So that's where you are."The words came out quiet. Deadly.Rage exploded through him. Hot. Blinding.The gla

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 59

    Chapter 59The café looked exactly the same.Same wooden tables. Same soft lighting. Same smell of coffee and something sweet baking in the back.Sienna stood outside for a moment. Rain starting to fall. Light drops. Gentle. Like the sky was testing her.Through the window, she could see Noah. Sitting by their old table. The one in the corner. Near the window.Her stomach twisted.This was a mistake. She knew it. Could feel it in her bones.But her feet moved anyway. Toward the door. Toward him.The bell chimed when she walked in. Too loud. Everyone looked up.She kept her eyes down. Walked to the table.Noah stood when he saw her. Smiled. Small. Hesitant.He looked different. Older somehow. Tired. Guilt written in the lines around his eyes."Hi," he said."Hi."They stood there. Awkward. Like strangers. Like people who used to know each other in another life.He pulled out her chair. She sat. He sat across from her.A server came. Asked what they wanted. Sienna ordered coffee she wou

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 58

    Chapter 58Early morning light filled the art studio.Gold. Soft. Gentle.Sienna stood in front of her finished painting. The woman in the storm. Standing. Not falling. Not breaking.She'd worked through the night. Adding layers. Details. Until her back ached and her eyes burned.But it was done.The colors were wild. Chaotic. Blue and red and black bleeding into each other. But there was light too. Breaking through the clouds. Small. But there.She wiped her hands on her shirt. White cotton. Now covered in paint streaks. Her arms had color smeared across them. Her face too probably.She didn't care.For the first time in weeks, she could breathe. Really breathe. Without feeling like something was crushing her chest.Maybe this is what freedom looks like, she thought.She walked to the sink. Started cleaning her brushes. The water ran clear. Then blue. Then red. Washing away the night.But as she worked, his face appeared in her mind. Uninvited. Unwanted.Landon.His smirk. The way he

  • BOUND TO THE WRONG CALLAHAN   Chapter 57

    Chapter 57The city lights glowed through the glass walls of the penthouse.Landon walked in. Exhausted. Shirt half undone. Face blank.He dropped his keys on the counter. The sound echoed in the emptiness. Too loud. Too final.The place felt different tonight. Colder. More sterile.Like a museum. Not a home.He pulled off his watch. Set it down. Ran his hand through his hair.All he wanted was sleep. Maybe oblivion. Anything to stop thinking about this morning.About Sienna walking away. Barefoot. Broken.About the words he'd said. The lies he'd told.He told himself he didn't care. That she meant nothing. That it was better this way.But the silence in the apartment pressed down on him. Heavy. Suffocating.He walked down the hallway toward the bedroom. Each step felt mechanical. Like he was on autopilot.Then he smelled it.Perfume. Floral. Sweet. Familiar.His body went tense. Alert.The bedroom door was open. Just slightly. Light spilling out into the hall.He hadn't left it like
