Lucian POV

The morning started better than most days had in years, and I decided it deserved something different.

I wanted tonight to be special, not because of an anniversary or obligation, but because things between Sienna and me had finally become calm, easy, and real.

I stood outside a flower shop with Ace beside me, both of us drawing attention simply because he looked like a man ready for combat while I stood there debating roses like my life depended on it.

Ace folded his arms and gl

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    SOLACE

    Sienna POV “Dad, you’re too slow!” I shouted over my shoulder, laughing so hard my stomach hurt. Behind me, my father laughed loudly as he chased after me, his footsteps heavy on purpose like he was pretending to be some giant monster and I was his tiny prey trying to escape. “Come back here, little thief!” he called between laughs. “You stole my biscuit!” “You said I could have it!” I yelled back, running even faster. “I changed my mind!” He teased, still chasing after me. “Goodness, you are only eight but you run so fast!” I laughed harder and kept running deeper into the field, past the old tree and farther into the tall grass where my mother always warned me not to go but I was too happy to care. I turned briefly to look behind me, still smiling, still laughing, and that was when the ground disappeared beneath my feet. A scream tore from my throat as I fell. The pit had been covered with dry hay and weak branches, hidden so well I never saw it, causing me to land so hard

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    NOWHERE LEFT TO GO

    Sienna POV I wanted to be away from everyone. It hurts more to be with anyone than to be alone. So, I hid in the hospital's storage room while I heard the hurried footsteps outside the hospital walls, looking for me. While they tried every possible means, including checking the CCTV, the steps eventually subsided, reducing to just typical hospital movement. I had probably passed out from exhaustion, but the time seemed far spent. I stared at the screen of my phone, trying to see if I could call anyone, but I literally had no one to call. Not even Lucian could be called right now. Not him. I checked the time and it was 9:30 pm. I had been inside here for hours, crouched down inside one of the huge cartons discarded in the storage room, my body folded into itself like I was trying to disappear completely. I felt numb. No tears rolled down my face anymore. I had cried too much lately, too many times, and now there was nothing left. I was exhausted. Too exhausted. My mind juggled ba

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    THE COST OF EVERYTHING

    Lucian POV It had been almost two weeks since I last heard from Sienna, and the silence was slowly driving me to a place I didn’t recognize anymore, a place where nothing made sense and nothing felt worth holding onto. I stood in the middle of my office, staring down at the tablet in my hand, my reflection faintly visible on the dark screen as numbers and charts blurred together in a way that made my chest tighten with every passing second. Everything was falling apart. Not gradually, not in a way I could control or manage, but all at once, like something had snapped beneath the surface and dragged everything down with it. The company’s chart had dropped drastically, the once steady rise now replaced with sharp, unforgiving dips that told a story I didn’t want to accept. Petitions were flying in from different departments, complaints stacked on complaints, and employees were leaving faster than I could even process. Investors were pulling out quietly at first, then not so quietly

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    DOWN AND DAWN

    Sienna POV A week had passed, and I was still at the hospital, though the atmosphere around me had softened in a way that almost made it feel like I had stepped into a different version of my life where pain wasn’t constantly sitting at the edge of everything. My mother sat on the chair beside my bed peeling an apple carefully, the skin falling in long curls onto a small plate as she focused like it was the most important task in the world, while Asher sat near the window with one leg crossed over the other, scrolling through his phone with a relaxed expression that made him look almost normal for once. My bed was slightly raised now, my back supported by pillows so I wasn’t fully lying down anymore, as I took a bite of the apple my mother had insisted I finish before she even considered listening to any of my complaints. The room felt almost like home in a strange way, and for a few minutes, I let myself sink into it. I looked at Asher from across the room, chewing slowly before

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    BETWEEN LIFE AND FEAR

    Sienna POVThe beeping sound kept intruding on my subconsciousness, steady and annoying, cutting through the heaviness in my head like something trying to pull me back into a world I wasn’t sure I wanted to return to.There were distant voices too, muffled and unclear, like people talking through water, and I couldn’t make out the words no matter how hard I tried to focus on them.My eyelids felt heavy when I finally tried to open them, blinking slowly as light hit my vision in a harsh blur and everything looked washed out in shapes moving without meaning.My throat felt dry and my body felt weak, like I had been emptied of something important and left behind in pieces.Then I saw my mum. My eyes settled on her weakly and a painful smile tugged at the corner of her lips.She was right beside me almost instantly, her face breaking the moment she saw my eyes open, her hands reached for me like she was afraid I might disappear again if she didn’t hold on fast enough.“Sienna…” she whispe

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    THE EDGE OF LOSING EVERYTHING

    Sienna POVThe first thing I felt was fear clawing its way up my chest as my eyes locked on the pool of blood beneath me, soaking through the sheets, spreading wider with every second like something I couldn’t stop, something I couldn’t control, and my hand moved instinctively to my belly, trembling violently as if I could somehow hold everything together by sheer will alone.“No… no… please…” I whispered shakily, my head moving from side to side as denial surged through me, desperate and fragile, refusing to accept what was happening even as the evidence stared back at me in terrifying clarity.This couldn’t be happening, not now and not like this.A sudden, loud bang echoed against my door, jolting me violently as my body tensed,causing the pain to shoot through my abdomen sharper than before, forcing a strained cry out of my lips.“Sienna!” my mother’s voice came from the other side, panicked and frantic, the doorknob rattling aggressively as she tried to open it. “Sienna, open the

The whole conversations in there seemed to be lowered while the cutleries slowed and a few heads turned but none of that mattered.
