登入Sienna's POV
The room became quieter when I glanced at her. The outside noise echoed with only the faint sound of traffic, while inside they were simply talking to two friends who had been through a lot.It dawned on me that Livia was more than just an editor or a writer.She witnessed all aspects of my life, from the time I wrote out of frustration to the moment I dared to write truthfully.After hearing her words, I retreated to my chair. My writing always made me cry, notSienna's POV"Noah." His name came out of my mouth as a whisper and I quickly wiped the corner of my eye. This was not the time to cry, especially while I was driving.The traffic light turned red again, stopping my car. I looked around at the vehicles while taking a breath trying to calm my emotions.Suddenly my phone, which was in the compartment next to the dashboard, started to vibrate. I looked at the screen and Liam's name appeared.My heart beat a little faster. For a second I just stared at the screen wondering if I should answer.Maybe he wanted to explain the fight we had. Maybe he wanted to say sorry or maybe something bad had happened at work.The phone kept vibrating. Before I could reach for it the traffic light turned green. I started driving and the call ended.A seconds later a message came in. I didn't open it because I didn't want to know what he had written. Because I wasn't r
Sienna's POVI don't know how long I have been locking myself in the bedroom. The curtains were still completely shut, letting only a thin line of sunlight come through the space between them and land on the wooden floor.I sat with my back against the headboard. My legs curled up close to me. My phone was lying on the nightstand completely ignored.Since Liam left that morning I had no desire to do anything. My stomach felt empty. My mind was more full than ever.All the things we had said to each other that night kept playing in my head. I closed my eyes, aware that I shouldn't have yelled at him like that.Still I couldn't act like everything was okay. What hurt the most wasn't the fight itself. The understanding that we no longer knew each other.Liam and I had always promised to face every challenge. Now I didn't even know what the problem was.I let out a sigh. Then my phone. I looked at th
Liam'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 That morning began with a warm kind of bustle. Noah trotted around holding his bag, while Liam tried to button his shirt with one hand and fix Noah’s hair with the other. I chuckled softly watching such a simple scene, yet one that always managed to calm my heart.“Daddy, my
Sienna's POV We stood near my car, paper bags of pastries hanging lightly from my hands. The afternoon sun was beginning to sink, leaving behind a golden hue that made everything feel calm and unhurried. Liliana slipped both hands into the pockets of her coat, her face looking a little tired
Sienna's POV I remembered the publisher meeting earlier that day, how they spoke about my book seriously, as if it were something real and important, not just a dream I held quietly to myself. I smiled faintly. I had come this far. It wouldn’t be fair to stop now just because the past tried
Sienna's POV My stomach felt warm and happy when we were done eating. The food was really good. Noah had eaten a lot of food. He even finished two bowls of the corn soup that Noah made for us. That corn soup was delicious. Liam turned off the oven after we were done using it. Then Liam
