A week later
Declan 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.

“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
Sienna stared at her husband as he sipped on champagne and watched him smile at whatever his Dad said. He looked ravishingly sexy in his white tux. His dark blue eyes seemed to be bolder and more piercing today, and his short, buzz cut blonde hair made him look naughtily sexy. The thought of having him inside of her sparked in her mind.Her hand was on her thigh as she sat by the table surrounded by Aideen, Kim, her mom and mother-in-law. She imagined Declan’s strong big hand on her thigh instead of her own and squeezed it, imagining it was him. She bit onto her lower lip, and Declan’s gaze moved to look at her. A fiery passion burned in his eyes as he looked over at his wife. Sienna took a sip of the non-alcoholic champagne and slowly wiped away the drop that stayed on her lip while he stared at her.He watched him swallow and adjust his pants, which meant he, too, was turned on. Sienna wondered why being married and being able
Declan’s voice broke on the last sentence, and he carefully put both pieces of glass back into the box. He then stepped closer towards Sienna and gently kissed her. She lovingly kissed him back, and they found themselves laying down on the blankets.“I want you, Sienna,” Declan mumbled in her ear.“I want you too, but we aren’t in the room,” Sienna replied and ran her hand down his torso. She could feel his abs through the thing material of his shirt and wished she could feel his skin against hers. Declan moved his hand to squeeze her thigh and sucked on the delicate skin of her neck.“I told no one to disturb us, and the curtains were all closed to give us privacy.”“Good.” Sienna smiled and started undoing his shirt buttons. Being with Declan felt so right, and she was so grateful for the baby growing inside of her. The baby had boug
Dear journal,It is day two of writing in you. Doctor Bailey read my first entry and said he was proud of me, so at least I’m doing one thing right. Manny said it’s weird that I call my therapist my friend and see him every day. Is that weird? Anyways, I punched Manny for saying that, so we not talking again. He’ll speak to me again when his arm stops hurting, so I’m not too worried. So today I sat at lunch with the girl I sit next to in maths. Her name is Jeni, I know it’s spelt weird, but she has cute glasses and long blonde hair. She always gives me jelly tots in class; it’s our little secret.All Jeni’s friends came to sit with us, so I had to sit with a table full of girls! They talk about such odd things as having babies, makeup and boys. Then one girl said that Jeni and I would have a baby if we continued sharing jelly tots. I was horrified! I don’t want a baby. They cry, eat all your sweets and poop a lot. So, tod
Sienna just read over something that chilled her to her core. Declan was only 19 when he wrote that. Did he actually go through with the threat? Her hands were shaking as she held the phone and stared at the floor. Why did she phone Ryan? Why did she read the journal?“I assume you read the journal, or why else would you phone me?” Ryan added, and she nodded, not realising they were on a call. Sienna tried to find her phone, but she was speechless. She did not expect to read a death threat in his journal. Wasn’t this type of thing supposed to be reported to the police? It happened about 20 years ago. Would it even matter that she reported it now?Who was Taro? What happed to make Declan threaten his life?“I’ll be over in about 10 minutes. We’ll go on a drive and talk.” Ryan stated, then hung up. Sienna listened to the silent call and took in a deep inhale. 1… 2… 3.
Caleb’s office was small. It had a desk full of documents, a computer and stationery holders. While against the walls, the filing cabinets of the precinct were located. He sighed, strolled into his office, and sat down at the desk. The smell of paper filled the air.It wasn’t the good kind like when you smell a brand new book, but the kind that smelled dusty and like the documents had been stashed for decades untouched. Caleb didn’t like the smell, but he was used to it at this point. This had been his office for 9 years now.The witness is Uluthando Manyoni, aged 48. The intake of flunitrazepam was found. No fingerprints were identified on the weapon. The footprints are size 11 (left) and 12 (right). Shoes were found in the rubbish bin near the crime scene and appear to be brand new. The identity of the suspect is well hidden from the camera, and no other evidence was found.Fuck it! Caleb thought as h
“Kelly, what is this?” Caleb asked and placed the photograph in front of her. Kelly was a coloured woman with shoulder-length hair with these dark brown almost black eyes. She changed her hair colour every month, but it was a light pink this month, which matched her handbag. Kelly was a lively woman that loved colours and could be forgetful at times.“Oh yes... there was this guy, I don’t know why he was there, but he kept trying to walk towards Reed’s body. His name was Ryan Hoffman, and he gave me this business card then left. He said to call him.” She shrugged.“Can I get that card?”“Yeah, sure. So I hear you agreed to go out on Friday.” She smiled and handed Caleb Ryan’s card.“Don’t remind me.” He grunted.“Well, wear something nice I invited one of my friends to come with me.”
“Caleb look at this,” Samuel remarked as the car came to a stop. He then pointed to Ryan Hoffman’s name. Ryan was in the same class as Taro.“It’s a small world.” Caleb sighed. They both headed into the Lilia and Jule Steakhouse to meet with Ryan. The Steakhouse was beautiful inside, and everything was made of varnished wood. It had a modern cowboy theme, and the smell of delish foods flowed from the kitchen.“I have no idea what this guy looks like,” Samuel muttered.“Sorry, can I help you?” A waitress asked. She had a red beret that matched her skirt and a black shirt. All the waitresses and waiters wore a similar uniform. It was different to other restaurants but made them look fashionable.“We supposed to meet with Ryan Hoffman,” Caleb responded.“Follow me.” She smiled then walked off. They f
