LOGINClaire's POVAfter the initial drama, everyone who was making drama had left or had been kicked out. Our wedding was wonderful. We enjoyed the night, and we had our first dance together. We have not talked to anybody about my pregnancy yet, not even Damon's father. We will keep it a surprise for later on. It is Sunday, and I am still lying in bed. I am lazy. After that long night last night, I did not drink anything because I am pregnant. I am not feeling sick, I am just lazy. The morning sickness has stopped. I am so happy about it. However, now I get the strangest cravings. Last night I was craving pickles with strawberry ice cream. Damon did not complain. He got up, and he went to the only shop that stays open all night in town. He bought me pickles and strawberry ice cream. I cannot believe how he has changed. I remember the man that was so rough with me. He has become so gentle. I am happy as I'm lying in bed. Damon walks in with a tray. Did he order us some breakfast? "I made
Sienna's POVMike does not look very happy when we go to my grandfather's house. We are going to fetch our things and move back to his parents'. Mike looks straight ahead while we are driving. We reach my grandfather's house, and as we walk in to fetch our things, Mike turns to me as he packs his things. He is not helping me pack. Normally, Mike would help me with everything. He does not look happy. He looks like he is angry. Is he jealous because my uncle has married his ex-wife?"Are you not going to help me pack?" I ask. "No, because you are not coming with me. I do not want you anymore. You are the reason why I lost the woman I truly love. Claire is beautiful. I don't know what I have seen in you. We were a mistake. Today, she is the wife of another man, your uncle of all people. The man that I hate the most in this town, if not the world," Mike says. "Don't you think it is a little late for regrets? You were not innocent. Besides, you cannot leave me. I am pregnant with your ch
Damon's POV"Now that all your friends are gone, why don't you also leave, Melanie?" I ask. "I will not leave. Where am I supposed to go? I was living a nice life in this city with Jake. Your old man ruined it for me. He made me come here, and he promised me that you would marry me again. I will not leave. I will make your lives a living hell. I can cause a lot of scandals. I can tell the whole town that the old man has been sleeping with me," Melanie says."Go ahead, tell your lies. Do you think I care? I never cared about what people say about me. They know how much I loved my wife. I am done. If you think you're going to get money from us to go and live a life of luxury, you're making a mistake. You can go and live your life the way you have. It is about time that you look after yourself. Jake was going to get tired of you eventually. He wasn't going to look after you for the rest of your life. You are way too old for the young man. Unfortunately, you are not as lucky as Damon. He
Sienna's POV"I cannot believe that you are doing this, Grandfather. You are betraying me. How can you take her side? Why do you want other grandchildren? Don't you love me anymore? Am I not your only one? I thought that you would love me forever, but it looks like you are also betraying me. Everybody is betraying me," I say. "I am not betraying you. I am just doing what I should have done a long time ago. I should have asked my son to give me a grandson so that the Winters' name can continue. I have always favored your father, and I have always favored you over Damon. I thought that you were going to become somebody, but all you are is a spoiled brat. You can't even work for herself. How are you going to run a company? I have neglected Damon my whole life. I have not seen him as my son. I only saw my oldest son because my oldest son was the one who was supposed to carry on the Winters' name. When you were born, I was really happy. I hoped that you were going to be a boy. However, alt
Damon's POVI swear I'm going to kill Mike. I do not know what he has against Claire. If he loved her, would he really spoil her day like this? He knows how she feels about her parents. Why did he allow them to come to her wedding day? It is not the actions of a man who loves a woman. It is the action of a jealous man who thinks that the woman belongs to him and that nobody should have her but him. I am furious. "Take them away. Ensure that they do not come close to us again," I say. Sienna, who was laughing at first, looks very furious as well. She storms away. I know she is on her way to Mike's house, and Mike is going to get it from her because she wants to know why he is so worried about Claire. It seems like Sienna does not know who she wants. Perhaps she just realized that the only man that she is going to get is Mike. Obviously, Jake does not want her. My men take the two drunks away. "I am sorry, baby. I did not know that Mike would release them from jail. I should have kno
Claire's POVFor the first time in my life, I believe that Damon is serious about me after hearing his vows. I still had doubts in my heart, but after hearing how much he loves me, I know that he does love me. No man can write such a beautiful vow if he does not love the woman he is standing in front of the altar with. I love Damon with everything inside of me. I know that we belong together, and I know that we are going to be happy. I am glad that the ceremony went past without any drama, but I do not expect it to last. I know there is going to be some drama at the reception. I am surprised that Mike and his father did not show up. Normally, they do not care if they are invited somewhere or not.I know why Sienna did not invite Mike to come with her because she was hoping that Jake would give her some attention. But by the looks of it, Jake is not giving her any attention. We walk out of the little chapel, and we go to take some wedding photos. I want beautiful wedding photos I can s
Sienna's POVThe door to Damon’s office slams behind me, the sound ricocheting down the hallway like a gunshot. Fired. Damon Whitfield, my own uncle, fires me. The word sears into my pride. Fired. As though I am disposable. As though I haven’t carried this family name with the same weight he does.
Damon’s POVThe door slams behind Sienna so hard the walls shake. For a long moment, the only sound in the room is the ragged rhythm of our breathing. Claire sits frozen on the couch, clutching the blanket against her chest like a shield, her eyes wide and shining in the dim light. She looks fragil
Sienna's POVI can’t believe this. I can’t believe what my eyes are showing me. For weeks, I’ve been suspicious. Damon sneaking out late at night, brushing me off when I asked where he was going, acting like I was some silly little girl with too much curiosity. Well, silly little girls don’t hire p
Damon's POVSleep evades me. I’ve been pacing the length of my study for what feels like hours, bourbon untouched on the desk, tie discarded on the arm of a chair. The house is quiet, too quiet, and that silence leaves space for her face to creep in, Claire Johnson. The woman I told myself I would k
