Sienna POV

I arrived at the restaurant fifteen minutes early.

The place Maya chose was quiet and hidden away from the busy part of the city, the kind of restaurant people visited when they did not want to be noticed.

I sat at a corner table tucked behind a decorative divider, my back facing the wall so I could see anyone approaching.

My hands rested around a glass of water I had not touched while my thoughts moved restlessly from one worry to another.

    Sienna POVI arrived at the restaurant fifteen minutes early.The place Maya chose was quiet and hidden away from the busy part of the city, the kind of restaurant people visited when they did not want to be noticed.I sat at a corner table tucked behind a decorative divider, my back facing the wall so I could see anyone approaching.My hands rested around a glass of water I had not touched while my thoughts moved restlessly from one worry to another.Months had passed since Maya first uncovered the truth behind the scandal, and guilt had followed me every single day for not meeting her sooner. Between Lucian’s recovery and stabilizing the company, time kept slipping away, yet none of that felt like a good enough excuse.The sound of footsteps approaching made me look up.For a second, I almost did not recognize her.Maya walked toward me dressed entirely in black, wearing a hat pulled low over her face, dark shades covering her eyes, and a nose mask hiding the rest of her features.S

    Lucian POV“Lucian, if you’re standing there judging my cooking again, you can leave my kitchen,” Sienna’s voice called from downstairs.I smiled and walked toward the sound.“It’s my kitchen too,” I replied as I entered, leaning against the doorway.She stood at the counter wearing one of my shirts with the sleeves rolled up, flour dusted across her hands and cheek as sunlight streamed through the windows behind her, and for a moment I forgot whatever clever response I had prepared.“You’re staring at me,” she said without looking up.“I’m appreciating,” I corrected. “There’s a difference.”She rolled her eyes while kneading the dough. “If appreciating means distracting the person actually doing the work, then yes, you’re excellent at it.”I walked closer, reaching for a handful of flour. “You underestimate my culinary contributions.”“You burned the toast last week.”“It was an artistic toast.”“That was charcoal.”I grinned and flicked a small amount of flour toward her and she pau

    Sienna POVThat morning, after confirming he completed his therapy exercises, I surprised myself by canceling every meeting on my schedule. We stayed in bed together, curled up under the duvet. His arm rested around my waist while my head lay against his chest, and for a long time neither of us spoke. The silence felt warm rather than awkward, like we were both learning how to exist without urgency. Eventually, Lucian broke the silence. “When I was a kid,” he began slowly, his voice low and thoughtful, “other children used to make fun of me for being an only child. They said I was spoiled and lonely at the same time, which didn’t even make sense to me back then, but it still bothered me.” I shifted slightly, listening as his fingers traced absent patterns along my arm. “One day, I came home upset after school,” he continued. “My mother noticed immediately. She always did. She sat me down and told me something that changed everything. She said I wasn’t going to be alone anymore b

    Lucian POVThe doctor began checking the monitors and shining a light briefly into my eyes while asking simple questions I barely processed. I answered slowly, my voice rough but working now, while he examined the readings on the machines. After a moment, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. “Your vitals are stable,” he said calmly while glancing at Asher. “This is an excellent recovery. If everything continues like this, discharge can be discussed very soon.” I could see the relief spread across Asher’s face as he nodded repeatedly, thanking the doctor before the man gave a final check and walked out of the room. As soon as we were alone, Asher stepped closer, concern replacing the earlier shock. “How are you feeling?” he asked quickly. “Can you remember anything?” I raised my hand slightly, stopping him as I struggled to form words but my throat burned again, and it took effort before my voice finally worked. “Where… am I,” I managed slowly. “What happened?” He frowned s

    Seinna Pov I remained completely still, waiting. Finally, one of the senior board members cleared his throat and spoke. “With all due respect, Mrs. Aries, this meeting concerns a potential takeover by the company’s highest investor. This discussion involves sensitive executive decisions, and you were not invited to participate.” As if I would let you take over my husband's company without a fight. Another voice joined in immediately. “Your husband’s condition has placed leadership under review, and the board must act in the company’s best interest. Emotional involvement cannot interfere with corporate governance.” I leaned forward slightly, my gaze sharp as I answered. “I am Lucian Aries’ legal spouse and a shareholder through marital interest. Any decision concerning the leadership of this company directly concerns me. If you intend to remove him while he lies unconscious in a hospital bed, then you will do so while looking me directly in the eye.” Mr. Harold adjusted his gla

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    HOLDING HIS EMPIRE

    Sienna POV Three weeks had passed, and Lucian still had not woken up. The doctor had explained everything carefully on the second week when my patience had finally broken and I demanded honesty instead of comfort. The bullet had struck a vital area close to major vessels, and although the surgeons had successfully removed it, the trauma to his body was severe enough to keep him unconscious longer than expected. They said his condition remained stable, but stability did not mean certainty. If he managed to push through and wake up, he would recover fully with time, almost as if nothing had happened. However, if his body failed to respond after the third week, his heart rate could begin to drop slowly, and that decline could lead to death. Those words had stayed with me every second since then. Lucian had been moved into a private room days after surgery, and that space became my world. I rarely left except when nurses insisted or when I needed to handle urgent matters outside th
