Sienna’s POV

“Honey, about the funds you promised for my charity…” Sabrina said to Roman, dabbing her lips with a napkin. “You said you’d send it this week. My team and I are visiting orphanages this weekend to distribute donations.”

We were all seated at the dining table, having breakfast. Livvy and Riley were dressed in their school uniforms, ready to leave after eating. I was also preparing to head to work. I couldn’t wait to escape this awkward meal.

And it made me wonder how much longer I would have to endure mornings like this while I lived here momentarily.

“I’ll wire the money to your account when I get to the office.” Roman replied flatly, taking a bite of his food.

“Here.” Livvy’s gentle voice came from beside me. She picked up the juice jug and leaned toward Riley’s cup. “Let me fill it for you.”

I was just about to smile at her thoughtfulness when Riley’s cold response caught me by surprise.

“I don’t need your help. I can do it myself.” Riley shoved Livvy’s hand away a lit

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    The End: All’s Well That Ends Well Pt2

    SIENNA Julian arrived just before the wedding ceremony began. We sat quietly, emotions running high, watching with misty eyes as Ethan and Theresa stood before the priest and exchanged their vows. The moment they said “I do” and sealed it with a kiss, the entire church erupted in applause and cheers. Candice, sitting next to me, was dabbing at her eyes with a tissue. Up at the altar, Roman looking proud in his best man suit, caught my eye and winked playfully. I smiled to myself. After the church ceremony, preparations began for the wedding reception. Karen took the kids home, and Roman and I drove together to the venue. By the time we arrived, the sun had set and the city lights glowed softly in the night. The outdoor reception was buzzing with energy. Most of the staff from our media house were there, including colleagues from other branches. Everyone was dressed up, laughing, dancing, and enjoying the moment. That was when I noticed Wendy standing in a corner, surrounded by a

    SIENNATWO MONTHS LATERToday was the final hearing of Sabrina’s trial.All the testimonies had been given, evidence had been shown, and now we all sat in complete silence, waiting for the judge to deliver his sentence. Tension filled the courtroom. I clasped my hands together in my lap, my eyes drifting to where Sabrina stood in the defendant’s box.She looked worn out—paler than before, her cheeks hollow, her eyes sunken and restless. It was hard to believe this was the same woman who once carried herself with arrogance and pride. The time behind bars had clearly taken its toll.The judge’s voice finally broke the silence.“With all evidence considered,” he said firmly, “Miss Sabrina Pierce has been found guilty of multiple counts of homicide, attempted murder, and kidnapping, among other charges. Therefore, she is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.”A gasp escaped my lips. My heart swelled with relief as tears sprang to my eyes. Beside me, Can

    SIENNAA WEEK LATER—AT ROMAN AND SIENNA’S NEW MANSION “Hey, Candice.” I said into the phone as I stepped out of the bathroom, tying the belt of my robe with one hand while holding the phone with the other. I walked into the bedroom where Roman was lying on the bed, flipping through a copy of Forbes. He glanced up as I entered.“Yeah, I know,” I continued, nodding to myself. “I’ll be there in about thirty minutes.”The call ended, and I placed the phone down on my dresser before sitting on the stool in front of my vanity mirror to begin my skincare routine.“Are you heading out?” Roman asked from the bed. In the mirror, I saw his reflection sit up, his eyes curiously following my every move.“Yep,” I said simply, dabbing toner on my face. “I’m going with Candice and Ethan to pick out an engagement ring. Ethan’s finally going to propose to Theresa next week. I told you that, didn’t I?”“Oh, right.” He mumbled, scratching the back of his neck. I caught the pout in his tone and smiled t

    CANDICEThe moment I parked my car in the hospital lot, I didn’t even wait to shut the door properly. I jumped out and took off running toward the building. People turned their heads to watch me in shock but I ignored them and kept running.From the corner of my eye, I noticed some teenage boy reach for his phone to record me. I shot him a sharp glare.“Don’t even think about it, kid!” I snapped as I ran past. That was enough to make him shove the phone back in his pocket real fast.My heart pounded hard in my chest as I ran on. All I could think about was Julian.Julian was awake. He was really awake…“Ahh!” I gasped as I slammed into someone, and the both of us tumbled to the ground in a heap.“Ouch!” The other person winced.“I’m so sorry—” I started, scrambling up, but then stopped when I looked at her.“Sienna?”“Candice?”We both stared at each other, wide-eyed. Her gaze slowly trailed down my body, taking in the fluffy white robe wrapped around me and the oversized towel still

    SIENNA“She’ll be with you shortly.” The officer said before turning and walking away, leaving me alone in the cold, quiet visitor’s area. A thick glass wall separated where I sat from the side where the inmate would soon appear.I waited calmly.A minute later, the door on the other side opened, and Sabrina walked in, escorted by two officers. Her hands were cuffed in front of her, and there was a limp in her step as she walked. She stopped the moment her eyes landed on me. Clearly, she hadn’t expected her surprise visitor to be me.The officers led her to the chair and left the room. Now, it was just the two of us—me and this identical face that looked nothing like me—separated by a thick, clear wall of glass.Sabrina’s eyes stayed fixed on mine as she limped over to the chair and slowly sat down. From the way she moved, I could tell her leg was still healing from the bullet wound I gave her.I studied her silently. It had only been a little over a week since her arrest, but she alr

    ROMANONE WEEK LATEROne whole week had passed since the accident.Riley had been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, finally back home and recovering well. But Julian was still here—still stuck in his coma, still in a hospital bed, unmoving. Every day, I came to visit him. And today was no different.As I walked through the hospital hallways, I nodded at the nurses and doctors who greeted me. When I entered Julian’s room, my steps slowed. Candice was there.She sat by his bedside, her fingers tightly wrapped around his fingers. Her head rested gently on the edge of the bed, her eyes closed. She had fallen asleep like that.I sighed quietly, and my heart sank a little. She looked so tired. So drained. I felt sorry for her.Stepping closer, I gently placed my hand on her shoulder. Her eyes slowly opened, blinking away sleep as she looked up at me.“Roman,” she whispered, sitting up. “You’re here.”“I’m here,” I said softly, giving her a small nod. “You’ve been here every sing
