Aaron released a breath he didn’t realise he was holding and sank back onto his bed. Kian found it annoying that Aaron was relieved the billionaire didn’t suspect anything and wished their boss would have walked in on them kissing. At least then they didn’t have to hide and sneak around.
“Aaron, I’m trying to be understanding, but you need to stop hiding who you are,” Kian stated and grabbed his phone and car keys.
“Where are you going?” Aaron asked and watched the handsome assistant walk towards the door again.
“Home. I hid myself away for long enough, and you just expect me to stay hidden when I am proud of who I am. I even accepted that we just kiss and don’t have sex. I’ve been patient, Aaron, but it’s getting too much. I can’t hide that I want to be with you, and if you can, then I don’t think this is going to work out.”
Aaron sat down in front of Sienna and offered her an apologetic smile. “Here, take this; it’s awesome,” Aaron stated and handed her a bottle of juice. “Thanks, my throat is a bit sore,” Sienna replied and gave him a small smile. Even though she hated Declan, Aaron was still a good guy and her friend. “From all the unnecessary screaming,” Declan mumbled under his breath, then said louder for everyone to hear, “We just waiting for Mr van Zyl then we will depart.” Aaron stared at the bottle in his hand and was surprised by Declan’s statement. He didn’t know Kian would be joining them on this trip. He hadn’t seen him since that night he walked away… well, he should have assumed Kian would join; this is his future branch in any case. Aaron still hadn’t spoken to Declan, but he wanted to, just something more important or an issue surfaced. Sienna rolled her eyes when Declan s
Why was it so difficult for them to find a neutral level? Sienna sighed and sat near the window to watch the snowfall. The cold wasn’t her favourite, but the white sheet covering the ground and mountains looked incredible. She touched the cold window, and it steamed up, leaving her handprint on the glass. She breathed on the window and drew a heart on the foggy area.She wished she could have found love, but so far, no one had been the one. She found men in her past weird and didn’t give them any attention… until she met Declan. She thought he would be the one for some time, but now it felt like her life had no room for romantic love.Declan walked towards the bar area and found Aaron having a drink. He walked over to him and offered him a smoke.“Where’s the boyfriend?” Declan asked and lit his cigarette.“We haven’t put a title on our relationship, b
Aaron noticed Sienna was fuming and watched her short hair sway as she walked away. She looked different tonight. She was confident and gorgeous, which made all the men like her, but how she spoke and carried herself is why they respected her. Not many wives know about their husbands’ companies, which made Sienna stand out among the crowd.“Miss Chae-Soo, wait!” Aaron called and hurried after her down the passage.“Just leave me alone for a bit.” She mumbled and stopped to face him. “How could Declan just flirt with another woman in front of me? Even if this is all fake, it’s disrespectful, and everyone judged me for not making him happy enough. You should have been the disgust on those women’s faces. I have never been made to feel so small in my life.” She said, frustrated.“Sienna, you are a perfect woman, and anyone would be lucky to have you. The investor li
The avalanche that covered Kosciuszko National Park was all over the news for the next few weeks. 32 people made it out alive, 45 dead and 7 still missing. Everyone grieved over the death of Kian van Zyl, but Aaron was especially heartbroken. He remembered his last words to him, and they repeated in his head. “Go help her,” Kian said and gestured towards Sienna as she walked off. Aaron didn’t need to be told twice and instantly followed after her. He wondered if those were Kian’s last words to him for a reason. Was this purpose in life to help Sienna? He prayed for days for an answer and waited for Kian to show him a sign that he was okay. Aaron locked himself in his room and mostly cried while his mind raced with what-ifs and regrets. He wished he hadn’t followed Sienna and died that night next to Kian. At least they could have been together. Then, on the other hand, he felt lucky that he did go after her and could live on another day.
Sienna walked back over to the group and gave Aideen a hug goodbye.“Please don’t go to bed yet,” Aideen whined and held onto Sienna.“Do you feel unwell?” Declan asked and wondered why she wanted to turn in for the night. Sienna usually went to bed late and stayed up studying, reading or just binge-watching a series.“No,” Sienna yawned and stretched out her arms. “I’m just sleepy,” She added. Declan nodded, and everyone said goodnight. Sienna walked back to her room and ran herself a bath full of bath salts; the scent of lemongrass filled the air. She felt extremely relaxed and lay in the water with her eyes closed.She thought back to all of the awful things that Declan had done to her and that she did to him. She forgave him, and maybe it was stupid of her to still want to be with him, but her heart believed there was good inside of him.
The next morning Sienna and Declan woke up in each other’s arms. It was nice to sleep next to someone without expecting any type of sexual attention. Declan had never slept next to a woman before without sleeping with her the previous night, but the change felt good. He knew in his heart that Sienna was meant to be the woman he would marry and spend the rest of his life with. He first had to fix their relationship and decided to court Sienna like a true gentleman.They climbed out of bed, and Sienna went back to her room to get dressed while Declan waited outside her door. The couple walked into the dining room together. Aaron glanced over at them, confused, which Caleb noticed and raised his suspicions. On the other hand, Aideen had a pair of sunglasses on and slowly sipped on a hot cup of strong black coffee.“Good morning, rough night?” Sienna asked Aideen and grabbed a croissant. Declan moved her chair and let her sit d
A week laterDeclan bought a private yacht he named Sienna and gave it to her as their wedding gift. The wedding was also to take place on the yacht as they sailed towards Mauritius, where it would be their honeymoon. Declan secretly had Sienna’s parents, brother, and Kim-Hae fly in to surprise her when they boarded. It was 2 days away from the wedding when the yacht took off with all the guests and the engaged couple.“Oh, Sienna, I think there are some people here to see you,” Declan stated and led her to the upstairs deck.“Me? Why me specifically?” Sienna asked, confused but trusting the billionaire, she let him lead the way. Sienna walked onto the deck and gasped when she recognised the familiar faces. Both Kim and Hanuel lit up and ran over to her with their arms open wide.“Sienna!” Hanuel happily shouted and hugged his sister.&ld
“Hey.” Aideen blushed when she opened the door to find a smiling Taro.“You look gorgeous.” He smiled and gave her a hug.“Taro a word.” Declan Foster stated and stepped in front of his younger sister. Declan had always been protective over her ever since they were adopted by The Fosters when he was 4 years old. Aideen had been 2 at the time.“Declan, please just leave him alone.” Aideen rolled her eyes.“What are your intentions with my sister?” Declan asked as they walked towards Taro’s black Volkswagen Golf.“Dude, we just gonna chill.” Taro laughed.“If you hurt her, I will kill you. Do we understand each other?” Declan threatened.“Sure, man,” Taro answered. Another useless big brother threat, he’s heard many before.&nb
