MasukSienna’s POV
I was just starting to drift off to sleep on the couch when the front door creaked open. I instinctively straightened, my heart beating faster. For a moment, I panicked, afraid it was just another bad dream arriving uninvited. But then a deep, familiar voice called out.“Sienna? Noah? I’m home.”I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still stood up. I unwrapped my knees and walked out of the living room toward the entrance.“Liam,” I whispered softly,Sienna's POV Once more, I found myself alone when I woke up. For a few moments, I just lay there and stared at the ceiling.Reaching for the cell phone which was lying beside my pillow, I realized there weren't any messages or calls from Liam, and thus, I stared at the screen for some time.It seemed like my husband really hadn't contacted me at all. I had no idea where he was sleeping last night.Closing my eyes, I asked myself a question. Was it even important? Haven't we been living like two strangers who happen to be sharing the same house during the past few weeks?Placing my cell phone back, I wondered whether this marriage really couldn't continue and the thought should've made me relieved somehow.However, somehow my chest became even tighter than it was before, and I rose from my bed.As soon as my feet touched the floor, my hand accidentally touched something on the small table beside the bed.Crash!Flinching from the sound, I froze be
Liam's POV The car continued to move in the direction of home. For the very first time after I had left the hotel, I allowed myself to have some small hope that there was still a chance of saving my marriage.During the whole trip home, all I could think of was Sienna. Those weeks past had left me feeling like an alien in my home.I let out a deep sigh. But then I spotted a bank by the roadside.Without thinking too much, I flipped the switch and drove the car into the parking lot right in front of it. I could not go home right now.There was one thing that I needed to solve before I could do that.I got out of the car and headed into the bank with my wallet in hand. The flowers that I had brought for Sienna still lay in the passenger seat.I looked at them for a while and finally entered the bank. I took a queue and took a seat waiting.I thought about Wilona again. No matter what she wanted from me, I could not avoid this situation anymore.My
Liam's POV I staggered off of the hotel premises, still suffering from head splitting pain.I stopped a few steps outside the hotel and rubbed my face, wondering to myself what I had just done.I looked at my hands and waited for them to answer my questions, but they were useless to me, except for the fact that everything they could tell me, I already knew.The only thing I remembered about last night was the bar where I met Wilona.I drank way too much, and while being drunk, I rambled about Sienna, about how our marriage fell apart and about how I feel like she does not trust me anymore.I remembered absolutely nothing after that. All I know is that I woke up in a hotel room with Wilona and I don't know how we got there.I don't know what happened. But what really scared me is not the possible acts I committed while sleeping in that room, but the thought of the reaction from Sienna if she found out about it.I began walking towards my car. Every st
Wilona's POV I sighed. "Because I'll give her the reason to think that Liam is lying to her."Joshua became even tenser. "Don't make the situation worse than it has to be."I chuckled. "The worst situation is exactly what I need in order to make my plan work."I went back to the bed but didn't approach Liam. I just stood some steps away from him, looking at the sleeping face.For a moment, I imagined how Sienna would react seeing the situation I created for her.Disappointment. Anger. And finally, the realization that she had to leave Liam.This was exactly what I wanted.I didn't want just to make Sienna angry. I wanted to make her realize that there was nothing left to save their marriage."I'll make her give up," I whispered.Joshua looked at me uncertainly. "But what if Sienna won't believe it?"I turned toward him. "Then we'll make her see it with her own eyes."My smile slowly grew.Just as I wanted to say something else, su
Wilona’s POV I was staring at Liam, whose body had been lying on the table. His breathing was heavy; he kept closing his eyes tightly. And he was absolutely motionless. I stood there for some time silently. But after that, without even knowing that, the corner of my mouth was curving upwards. Finally. The day I had been waiting for had finally come. I had never imagined everything could happen so smoothly. For days, I had only needed to be next to Liam; I had only needed to make him feel comfortable to talk to me and make Sienna see something to make her doubtful. I did not have to interfere with anything or force something. I had just needed to make them doubt each other. Now Liam had even come to me personally in such a condition. It was then when a figure appeared at the entrance of the bar. Joshua approached me with a careful expr
Liam's POV "Brought on by me?" I quickly turned to look at her. "No." My answer sounded rather rash. Wilona seemed a little surprised. "I am sorry." I shook my head. "It is not your fault. She misunderstood the nature of our relationship." Wilona let out a small sigh. "Because of that message?" I nodded. "Yes, and because I see you too often." Wilona stared at me for some time. "Then maybe you should talk to her and explain everything." "I've tried already." "And?" "She's not ready to listen right now." Wilona went silent. Thoughts of Sienna's face that morning, her tired eyes, shaky voice and the words she said about still loving me came to my mind. I did not want to lose this woman. "But there's something else I am worried about even more now." "What?" I pulled out my phone and showed Wilona the transaction report. "My wife withdrew
Sienna’s POV This pain didn’t arrive all at once. It came slowly—like rain leaking through a roof. Drop by drop, silent and unnoticed, until everything was soaked. That’s how I lost everything—quietly and gradually. I forced myself to stand and walk over to the desk. I opened the email I had rece
Sienna’s POV I stood for a moment at the doorway, letting the midday light seep through the strands of my tangled hair. The room felt stifling—like my heart. How many days had I shut myself away like this? Everything seemed to spin so fast, yet strangely slow. Outside, the world kept turning. Mean
Sienna’s POV Everything began to move quickly. Emily was busy rifling through drawers, opening little boxes in her room with a frantic expression—one I couldn’t tell was genuine or just another performance. Liam hovered nearby, overseeing the chaos, while Noah scurried around asking questions, as
Sienna’s POV I stepped out of the kitchen and my eyes immediately found Noah sitting cross-legged in the living room. His small frame hunched over the tiny table, crayons in hand, busy scribbling on his drawing paper. I walked slowly, making my way toward him. “Noah,” I called softly. He didn’t
