LOGINJulian's POV"Good evening, Mags," I greeted as I walked into the dining room where she was seated silently eating her meal like she had the whole world in her hands, and in a way she did."Whatever you are planning better be good, Julian, or we would have issues." Her voice was cold and detached, a voice I had only heard the day she found me, drenched by the rain at past 2 a.m. in the morning, crying about having nowhere to go. I don't know what held her back, but I was so certain she was going to kill the old man with her bare hands."Are you okay, Mags?" I asked immediately, dropping my suitcase on a seat and heading over to where she was seated."Don't I look okay to you?"Something is definitely wrong."You are using 'the voice,'" I said honestly, letting my worry show in my voice."I thought you are with Sienna Blake now? Or did you lie about that?"I don't like the way I am feeling about all these questions. She couldn't have found the contract, could she? I hid it properly. I
Sienna's POV"She must be in her room. Brittany is always shy around strangers. She doesn't like to stick around when visitors come," Mum quickly answered before I could even recover from the shock of the question.I believe I must have properly hidden my shock, but Julian, on the other hand, made it very clear that he didn't expect Mum to even speak up. He was probably expecting her to lash out or even expose my lies, but I guess Mum is smarter than I have always given her credit for.Although I already knew she was going to give me a fucking earful much later, one thing I really don't need right now."Wait, she is actually your little sister?" Julian couldn't hold himself from asking, the taken aback look on his face is one to definitely keep in mind. "Like, Ma'am, you mean she is your actual child?""Isn't Sienna here my daughter? You shouldn't be so shocked she has a sister that looks so much like her. Our genes are strong, and their father and I had such a bond," she laughed, but
Sienna's POVI have not gone out in three days.Funny, right?The same workaholic Sienna who could never stay home has been indoors for three days but, as sad as it is, that isn't even what is bugging me most.Lila is.She hasn't responded to even one out of the over a million messages I sent her or the thousand calls. It's like she just cut me off, and I hate the mere thought of that.It is very obvious she is seeing all my messages and calls. She isn't even hiding that fact.Julian obviously didn't buy my pathetic lie of being sick, just like my many other lies, but he didn't push either. He simply ignored my message, but I got a get-well letter from Leah, which was all I needed. I don't think I would have been able to say anything reasonable to him if he had even attempted a conversation, so silence works for me too.A small knock sounded in the room and then the door was pushed open, revealing a very excited Brittany."Grandma says dinner is ready," she beamed, already running off
Sienna's POV "Lila, please. I can explain. It's not what it looks like," I pleaded, trying to reach out to her with my now shaky hands. "It is exactly what it looks like, Sienna. Gosh, I can't believe you. Sienna, you have been lying to my face all this while, and I was always checking up, even threatened to beat up your boss, not knowing this boss is the same man you assured me you loved. I asked you countless times, Sienna. I asked you over and over again if there was anything I needed to know about, and you lied every single time, even when you knew I suspected something was wrong. It never occurred to you to at least say something before I found out myself? I told myself every single time that you trusted me and respected me enough to speak to me, that I didn't need to go snooping around. Fuck, you even said it was fate. You joined me in my stupid antics about him every single time, and never for once did it occur to you to tell me the truth. What else are you hiding from me, Sie
Julian's POVI haven't heard a word from Sienna after she angrily left in a taxi this morning. I didn't reach out, and neither did she.I instructed Arnold to take her bags to her hours ago, but she couldn't even text to let me know if she had gotten them.“Exactly what I get for being a douchebag,” I sighed as I dialed Leah's desk.“Sir,” she answered almost immediately.“Did you check in with Arnold?” I asked.She hesitated before answering, which got me confused. “Yes, sir, I did, over an hour ago.” She sounded shocked by my question, like she was expecting a different question.“Is anything the matter?”“You have not seen it yet, sir?” Her voice wavered a little as she spoke, and that was all it took for me to know something had gone terribly wrong.“Come to my office right away,” I demanded, ending the call before I could get a response from her.I saw it before she could get here , the words staring back at me like a slap to my face:“CEO billionaire lawyer, Julian Thorne, caugh
Sienna's POV"Welcome back, Miss Blake. Welcome back, Mr. Thorne," Julian's driver said as he opened the door for us, while two other men loaded our bags into the trunk of the car."Thank you," I beamed, but Julian just nodded, his face blank. He had been this way all morning; he had only said a few words to me, and that was because of my panic. He had suggested we drive back, but that would have meant long hours on the road, so I pushed until he agreed to us taking a plane back.He stayed by my side throughout, ensuring I felt safe. I had lost it, but not as much as I would have if he wasn't there. He held my hands, singing to me like he had done before, but this time I was more aware of what was happening. Although, with how things are going, I doubt he would ever want me to mention it.My phone buzzed in my purse, snapping me back to reality. Lila's picture popped up on my screen, making me smile."Hey," I greeted softly as I picked up."My girl is back!" she squealed excitedly. My
