Chapter 9

Author: Forest Fire
"No, I didn't!" Sienna exclaimed. "I only said that because Winnie was grilling me with questions just now. You've dealt with her at work quite often, haven't you? You know what her temper is like!"

Adrian stopped before Sienna and continued asking, "What about her saying that you agreed to the marriage alliance? Was it also to fool your sister as well?"

Sienna nodded.

However, Adrian still grabbed her hard by the chin, hurting her so much that she frowned in pain.

Still, Adrian's face was emotionless as his eyes darkened the whole time.

"You seem to have been very naughty lately, Anna."

Sienna's chin began to throb. She softened her voice and said, "Rian, you're hurting me."

Still, Adrian didn't seem like he was thinking about letting her go. He narrowed his eyes at her and said, "You'd better not be lying to me."

For the past two years, Sienna had been fully obedient and barely ever gone against anything he said or did. So, they never quarreled or argued about anything.

    It was Adrian.It was bizarre how often Sienna ran into him lately. He seemed to show up everywhere she went.He took her by the shoulders, his voice tight with concern. "Are you ill?""My heart's been acting up a little, so I came for a cardiology checkup. It's nothing serious. What about you? Why are you at the hospital?" Sienna asked.He started, "I—""Rian." He was cut off.Sienna looked up and saw Fiona emerging from the obstetrics department, a test slip in hand. She hooked her arm through Adrian's with a bright smile. "The doctor who did the ultrasound said the baby's healthy. There's a heartbeat now."Sienna's knees went weak. She nearly fell, but Adrian's steady hand closed around her arm, holding her up.Fiona pretended not to recognize Sienna and asked, puzzled, "Did you run into a friend?""Yeah," Adrian said shortly.A mocking curve flitted past Sienna's lips. In front of his wife, she was just someone he knew. Fiona's baby had just developed a heartbeat. That me

    Now, Sienna just wanted to clean up the mess she'd created and get out of this heartbreaking place as soon as possible.Only now did she realize how unreliable love could be; the only people she could count on were her family."I was young and didn't know better then. I just wanted to see the world outside. Now, I know home is best," Sienna said."It's okay. You're about to graduate early, anyway. It won't be long before you can come home. If you're homesick, take some time off and come home. Mom and Dad miss you too," Winona said.Sienna nodded profusely. For the sake of her family, who loved her, she needed to settle everything here before she went home.At last, she waved goodbye to Winona. Winona had sacrificed so much for the Colton family. From now on, Sienna needed to put more thought into them too.Sienna left the airport and took the airport expressway, heading straight to the hospital. As she thought about getting an abortion, she took one hand off the steering wheel an

    Laura Smith, the housekeeper, hurried in.Adrian said, "Get a few maids to come move the couch."Sienna clenched her fists, her heart leaping to her throat. If they moved the couch, Adrian would find out she was pregnant!"Yes, sir. Right away." Laura walked off.Sienna asked, "You want to move the couch to look for the cufflink?""Yeah.""It's just a cufflink. You don't have to make a big deal out of it." She didn't want him to move the couch."How can I not? You gave them to me as a birthday gift, Anna. Anyway, it's just fallen under the couch. We can move it a bit and grab it," Adrian said.Sienna's heart raced. She didn't know what to do.Soon, the maids came in. Adrian pointed at the couch and said, "My cufflink rolled under the couch. Move this over here."The maids started moving. Sienna's heartbeat picked up, thudding nonstop in her chest. She had to think of something else.Adrian wouldn't want the babies, anyway. Once he found out, she could take the opportunity to

    Winona had always been swift and decisive; even her steps were quick.Sienna, who was sitting in the lobby, soon saw her come out. Adrian was close on her heels.It wasn't until they reached the car that he grabbed Winona's wrist and pinned her against the car door. "Did you come tonight to warn me because you're afraid I'll set my sights on your sister, or have you fallen in love with me?"His cool, even voice cut straight to Winona's heart. She pushed him away and sneered. "I wasn't interested in you before, and I won't ever be in the future. Don't be so full of yourself."Sienna was too far away to hear what they were saying. She could only see their movements. It was obvious Adrian was clinging to Winona; Winona pushed him away without a second thought.That only made Sienna more certain that Winona really was the unattainable woman Adrian wanted but couldn't have. She could even resist his trap of love.She, on the other hand, couldn't compare to Winona at all.She turned a

    Sienna got out of the cab. She immediately spotted Adrian's Maybach in the parking lot. His car was low-key, but his license plate was quite eye-catching. One look at the plate and one would know it was him.Had Winona come here to meet Adrian?Sienna found a seat in the lobby. The flashing lights and blaring music made her uncomfortable, but she forced herself to bear it.Meanwhile, Winona walked into a private room. Only Adrian and Simon were inside. It looked like Sienna was right—they were close friends.Winona went straight over and sat down beside Adrian.He had his legs crossed, lounging back on the couch as he smoked. Layers of smoke curled around him, lending a few extra shades of mystery to his striking looks.He uncrossed his legs, sat up, and handed Winona a glass of wine. She took it, swept him a glance, then looked at Simon. She didn't bring up business—she didn't want to tip off what Sienna had told her.Anyway, Adrian had been with Simon after the meal had ended

    "What is it?" Sienna asked.Winona looked at her seriously. "You saw it yourself today—Adrian Humphrey is a reckless, indecent man. You must stay far away from him, understand?"To ease her mind, Sienna nodded. Unfortunately, the warning had come too late. She had already fallen into Adrian's gentle trap; only now was she waking up to find a whole mess to clean up."I don't think I can continue negotiating this project with Nexus. I booked an early flight for tomorrow, so I'm going to rest." Winona went into her bedroom.Sienna returned to her own room and sat on the couch, staring blankly ahead. These past few days, her heart had been on edge. She hadn't even managed to retrieve a mere prenatal test result. She'd been interrupted again that day; she was no longer in the mood to head over there.…Winona slept for a while and woke up in the middle of the night to see the light still on in Sienna's room. She thought she'd forgotten to turn it off and came to switch it off. That wa
