Lucian POV

The restaurant went quiet the moment I stepped inside.

Not completely quiet, but the kind of quietness that spreads when attention shifts without permission. The whole conversations in there seemed to be lowered while the cutleries slowed and a few heads turned but none of that mattered.

The only thing that mattered was Sienna.

She sat across from a man that looked quite familiar, someone I felt certain I had seen before but couldn’t immediately place. That wasn’t even the issue righ

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    BETWEEN LIFE AND HER

    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

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    NOW IN CONTROL

    SiennaVivienne and I stood facing each other in the parking lot, neither of us moving or speaking as the silence stretched longer than it should have.Our eyes stayed locked as if neither of us wanted to be the first to look away, and the moment felt less like a meeting and more like a quiet battle neither of us had agreed to but both understood.My eyes burned from too much crying over the past few days, swollen and red no matter how many times I wiped my face or told myself to stay strong.My hair was barely brushed, and I had rushed out of the hospital without thinking about how I looked.Vivienne, on the other hand, appeared perfectly put together. Her clothes were neat, her makeup flawless, and not a single strand of her hair looked out of place.She looked calm and polished, as though she had arrived for a business meeting instead of standing outside a hospital where Lucian was fighting for his life.She finally cleared her throat, breaking the silence that had gone on long eno

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    Edges of Fear

    Seinna POVI did not think before moving. I ran straight into him and wrapped my arms around him tightly as the tears I had been holding back finally broke free.“Asher, what happened?” I asked between sobs. “Where is he? How did this happen? You said he was shot but you did not tell me anything else. Was he alone? Was it an accident? Is he awake? Is he talking?”Asher held my shoulders firmly and tried to calm me down before answering. His voice was steady, but I could see the strain in his eyes.“I found him in the parking lot outside his office,” he said slowly. “He had called me earlier about something important and when I got there, I heard the gunshot. By the time I reached him, the shooter had already taken off. Lucian was on the ground, but he was still conscious for a few minutes.”Everything he had just said made no sense. Lucian called Asher to his office and he happened to hear a gunshot?I saw the corner of his eyes twitch and that only happens whenever he's lying but I d

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    UNSEEN BATTLES

    Seinna Pov That night, the dim lights and controlled setting had softened his appearance, making him look like nothing more than a strict and powerful old man. Now, under the brightness of the day, he looked far more intimidating.He stood tall, far taller than most men his age, his straight posture making him appear almost unbreakable. His gray hair framed his sharp face in a way that made him look ancient and commanding, like someone who had ruled over people for decades and never once been questioned.For a strange second, the thought crossed my mind that he looked like an old god who had stepped into the wrong world.He walked inside, moving past me with slow confidence as though the space already belonged to him. The quiet sound of his shoes against the floor felt heavy, deliberate, and impossible to ignore.I closed the door automatically, my movements slow as tears began to gather in my eyes despite my effort to hold them back.Lucian was shot?The question repeated inside my

  • Forced to Marry My Enemy    EVERYTHING FALLS APART

    Sienna POV I stood in the middle of the room long after Maya finished speaking with the phone still pressed against my ear, but I could barely hear the sound of her breathing anymore because my mind was stuck on one thing. The scandal had been planned, not by an enemy company, nor by some random rival trying to destroy us. It had been planned by one of our own investors, someone who was supposed to want the company to succeed. I slowly lowered the phone and stared ahead of me, trying to process everything Maya had just told me. My stomach felt tight and my chest felt heavy at the same time. Nothing about this made sense, yet the information fit too well with everything that had gone wrong. I felt a wave of guilt rise inside me when I thought about Maya. She had risked a lot by digging into this and telling me that information. She was my assistant, but over time she had also become someone I trusted. The thought that she could get dragged into this mess because of me mad
