MasukSienna’s POV
I gripped my phone tighter, turning on the recording. Beside me, I knew Liam was also recording from a different angle. We were both focused on the small figure now standing in the front row of the stage.Soft music began to play. The children began singing in their innocent voices. I immediately looked for Noah, and there he was, singing with full enthusiasm, though his voice sometimes lagged behind by half a beat. His eyes occasionally glanced toward the audience, andLiam's POV"You shouldn't have to go through everything by yourself."I looked at Wilona. She smiled in a way."I might only be an intern. If you're confused or just need a place to talk so your brain doesn't feel so full I'm here to listen."I gave her a smile. "Thank you.""Even if I can't give any answers.""That's still something, Sir." she said with a joke. "Sometimes all people need is someone to listen to."I didn't say anything because I knew the person I wanted to hear from right now wasn't Wilona. It was Sienna.I wanted to go and sit with her. I wanted to explain everything from the beginning.I wanted to tell her about the company, the pressure at work, the clients and the man who had been bothering Wilona. I wanted to explain the hug she had seen and every misunderstanding that had slowly become a wall between us.There was something I realiz
Liam's POVI looked at the laptop screen. Didn't really read anything on it. Sales charts, reports and investment projections all looked like meaningless lines and letters.I had been looking at the page for almost fifteen minutes but my mind was not at the office. My thoughts were at home behind the bedroom door that stayed shut.I could still remember how I knocked on that door several times that morning. I could still remember calling Sienna's name and getting no answer.The feeling kept coming. I didn't even know if she had had breakfast, if she had cried again after I left or if she had gone to the foundation.I rubbed my head. Maybe I was really to blame because I had been so busy protecting the company that I had forgotten to protect her feelings.To me all the overtime, meetings and pressure at work were part of my job.. To Sienna maybe all of it just looked like a distance that kept growing between us
Liam's POVThe bedroom door slammed in front of my face. The sound still rang in my ears even after I stopped walking in the hallwayI closed my eyes. Rubbed my face with both hands. The tiredness I had been holding back since the morning was now mixed with feelings I couldn't explain."Good grief." I took a breath. "Today was a disaster."No, the last few weeks have felt like a nightmare.I dropped onto the sofa in the living room. The house was quiet again. This time the silence felt tight and hard to breathe.I leaned my head against the back of the sofa. I closed my eyes. The fight we had just had played over and over in my head."Is it really just work? Is it because you're meeting another woman?"I clenched my fists. Why would Sienna think that?Throughout our marriage after losing Noah I had never given her a reason to doubt my faithfulness.
Sienna's POV"I don't want you worrying too.” Those words only made my smile turn bitter."That's what you always do. I may not be able to solve your company's problems, but at least I can stay by your side."Tears finally rolled down my cheeks."I've already lost Noah. I know what it feels like to face everything alone. I don't want you to go through that too."I watched Liam's jaw tighten. He looked as though he were struggling to keep his own emotions under control.His hand slowly lifted as if he wanted to wipe away my tears, but it stopped halfway. Only a few steps separated us as I looked straight into his eyes."Is it really just work?"Liam frowned immediately."What do you mean?"I bit my lower lip. The question I had kept buried for so long finally escaped my lips."Or Have you actually been seeing another woman?"The room fell into complete silence. Liam's expression immediately turned sharp."Sienna." His voice was
Sienna's POV The clock in the living room had already struck ten at night. The house was really quiet.I was sitting alone on the sofa staring at the cup of tea I had made two hours ago. It was now completely cold. The television was on. I was not really watching it.My eyes kept looking at the wall clock. Then at the front door. There had been no news, no messages and no phone calls from Liam.I had unlocked my phone hoping to see a message from Liam. The screen remained empty.Liam always kept me updated, no matter how busy he was. That has changed over the past few weeks.I held my phone tightly. Was I thinking much about everything? Has something really changed with Liam?I remembered what happened a day ago. Liam walking out of the bar was still clear in my mind.The young woman who had hugged him was hard to forget. So was her name.Wilona.I close
Sienna's POV"Mrs. Sienna."I turned around in shock. Joshua had approached me without a second thought, and the second he saw the blood on my hand, his face paled in horror."Oh no."The second his worried gaze landed on me, his face tightened with alarm."How did this happen?"I just stared at him. The words just weren't working.Joshua reached into his pocket without any hesitation and pulled out a clean handkerchief, unfolding it gently."May I see it?"Before I could respond, he gently took my hand with both of his."You cut yourself with the shears?"That was all I could do, nod my head in response.Joshua released a long sigh of relief after examining the wound. His shoulders dropped with happiness. "You really..."He shook his head, almost laughing at the situation"You're
Liam's POV I shook my head. “I’m not treating you like a stranger. I’m treating you like someone who used to matter but no longer stands in the same place in my life.”That made her shoulders tense slightly. She let out a short, bitter laugh. “You’ve always been good at wrapping reject
Sienna's POV I stared at Liliana for a few seconds, trying to swallow the warmth that suddenly rose in my throat. Liliana rarely looked this sincere without slipping in sarcasm, so seeing her eyes sparkle like that made my chest tighten but in a good way.Liliana set the cover back down
Liam's POV “Emily, I’m not eating here. I’m going back to my room.”She looked up at me, her expression stiffening. “You’re going to leave me eating alone?”“I need to rest.”And more than that, I needed to leave before this situation became even more tangled.Emily le
Emily's POV Sienna, who for some reason received more of Liam’s attention than she ever should have. Sienna, who suddenly made Liam protect her so fiercely. Sienna, who made the look in Liam’s eyes change.My blood boiled.I grabbed my bag and walked out of the restaurant, ignoring t
