MasukSienna's POV
The entire room was in my peripheral vision as I looked around. When I thought about it, it was either the nights when I cried in the corner of the bed, trying to keep my pain at bay or the long hours spent writing. It was a very distant but close experience.I locked my suitcase and closed it with slow steps. The. It was a soft, final click. I felt a new sensation within me, courage, not fear, as my heart beat slower. It was so powerful.After inhaling deeply, I thoSienna's POV "I don't like that feeling."He raised his face and stared into my eyes. There was fear in his gaze that I had not seen so many times."I don't want to lose you."I pressed my bottom lip between my teeth. There was sincerity in his eyes, and it slowly tore down all walls I had built to protect my heart."I don't want to lose you too."Liam smiled gently. There was warmth in his gaze that tightened my chest."Then we'll fix everything."I nodded. The idea that I can fix our relationships seemed realistic to me."Together.""Together."He got up and went to another side of the bed. I observed how he turned off the central light, leaving only the little lamp at the bedside.It immediately became darker in the room. Soft shadows appeared in it.Liam lay down next to me. For several minutes, none of us said anything.I could hear his breathing next to me. This familiar sound brought back the memories that were almost
Sienna's POV I stepped out of the washroom wearing a towel like a kimono wrapped around my body. My hair was still a bit wet, and the nice smell of the scrub I used before stayed softly on my skin.I walked to the bedroom but my feet suddenly froze when I saw something on the bed. The night dress there was pretty neat.I frowned as I looked at it. It was the nightdress I used to put on a lot, one I had not seen in a real long time.I looked at it for a bit until Liam's voice brought me back. "You still look pretty when you wear that"I looked at him. Liam stood close by, all changed and seeming ready to have a shower.I pointed at the nightgown on the bed. "This?"Liam nodded. "Yes."I stayed quiet for a bit. "I didn't put it on in a long while""I know," Liam said with a little grin. "I just thought maybe you can wear it tonight."My eyes went back to t
Sienna's POV Liam entered the bathroom once again, leaving me alone in the living room. I looked at the bouquet of roses that I put on the table just minutes ago.I touched the petal with my fingertips. The evening seemed different but not unpleasant in any way. It was quite the contrary. Liam was the old Liam, the one who paid attention to all those little details that only I seemed to notice, who was aware of the fact that I did not appreciate overly sweet food, and who always knew when I was tired, even when I did not say anything.This time, he even remembered that cake which was my favorite. I took a deep breath. Maybe I have been thinking too much lately.It was about time to stop worrying about what happened and start focusing on what Liam did right now. He was really trying, and I could see this from everything he had been doing lately – starting from the flowers he brought me in the morning, ending with the way he held my hand.Now, he had even pre
Sienna's POV The car finally pulled into the driveway of our house.I opened my eyes slowly as the sound of the engine faded. I had no idea how long ago I fell asleep and it seems like the drive home had taken less time than expected because I was truly tired from that day.I turned my head sideways. Liam seemed to be watching the road ahead of him.We parked right in front of the house. A few seconds later, Liam switched off the engine."We're home."I nodded. "Yeah."I was about to open the door by myself, but Liam was already out of the car. In a second, the door on my side was opened.Liam was standing there with an open hand extended towards me."Be careful."I looked at his hand for a few seconds before I took it. "I can get out by myself.""I know."Liam gave me a slight smile. "But I would like to help you."I didn't say anything. I just let him hold my hand as I got out of the car. And once again, his answer was the
Liam's POV Sienna laughed and shook her head. "I think I will get sick first."We both burst out laughing. But behind my laugh there was much more.I wished. I wished so much that this night would be enough.I wished that the flowers I had given her this morning and tonight would be enough to regain her trust in me. I hope that this dinner will be enough to forget all the fights we had before.I hope that memories of this place will help Sienna realize that I am the one who loved her for decades and not some man who had betrayed her.I watched her face. There was sincerity in her eyes and that was precisely what increased my burden of guilt.I still remembered that day when I had never wanted anything like this to happen.I found myself in a position which I couldn’t explain to Sienna without worsening everything.There was no way that I could lose her. There was no way that after the last six years of struggling with the same
Liam's POV The meal came to its end.I observed Sienna placing the fork on the plate. Her expression seemed much calmer than it had been during the previous few days.Seeing Sienna smile made me feel much better. I was able to make her smile.I sent a discreet signal to the waiter. Soon enough, another waiter approached us bringing a beautifully decorated cake.“I don’t understand,” said Sienna, immediately frowning. “What is all this?”“A surprise,” I answered with a smile.“A surprise?”“Yes, I just wanted to give you something you like.”Sienna looked at the cake from me. “Liam.”She laughed. “It’s a bit too much, isn’t it?”“Why?”“We’re already approaching fifty. You are still preparing surprises as if we were teenagers.”I looked at her smiling face. For some unknown reason, I felt like the tension I had been feeling inside my chest for some time was fading away seeing Sienna laughing.“It’s too much?” I asked.Sie
Sienna’s POV I stopped at the entrance of the supermarket. My body still felt tired, but my mind refused to rest. Tomorrow would be the last day—my final day in this house, in their lives. But I didn’t want it to be a sad farewell. I wanted to end everything gently, like the final episode of a fa
Sienna’s POV The smell of toasted bread filled the kitchen, blending with the aroma of omelet and sautéed vegetables. My hands moved on autopilot, but my mind felt blank. My body was still wrecked—only an hour of sleep after a long night. But as always, there was no time for being sick. No space f
Sienna’s POV I looked at Liam, into the eyes that once held so much love—now filled with nothing but hatred. I wanted to ask why. But what was the point? Even if I screamed, no one wanted to hear my side anymore. Liam reached for the car door and opened it for Emily, treating her the way he used
Sienna’s POV "You shouldn’t yell at your own child, Sienna." That was it. No questions. No context. No one on my side. I gave a small nod. My back felt heavy, and my fists clenched at my sides, but I said nothing more. Because… what was the point? In this house, I never win. I stood by the ki
