LOGINSienna's POV
I resorted to minor things, such as warming up the soup I bought, setting the dinner table, and possibly placing toast on my child's plate. It was obvious from the smell of warm food that he was so excited to see it and then invite Liam out for dinner.Just that snapshot brought a smile to my face.It could be that happiness was meant to feel authentic and peaceful, rather than being extravagant or unexpected.The taxi moved again. As Noah fell asleep, the lightsWilona’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
Liam's POV Finally, we were done. I sighed with relief when Kevin shut off his laptop. "Well then, I will send all revisions in this afternoon," he said. I nodded. "Okay. Remember to check the budget section again." Kevin nodded and then got up. Wilona also collected the papers in front of her and one by one, everyone left the meeting room. I stayed put. My head felt heavy, and since the morning, my thoughts were fixated only on Sienna. How was she feeling now? Was she still angry? Was she at peace at all? I wanted to contact her, but I restrained myself. I had promised her to give her some space. Right after I was about to get up, my phone vibrated. There was a notification, so I picked up my phone and read the notification. A seventy million cash withdrawal. I frowned. "Sienna?" I read the notification again. It was clear that the name of the account holder was Sienna and the date of transaction was today. An immediate feeling of uneasiness overcame me. "Why
Sienna's POV However, before signing, I stopped for a second. Somehow, some strange feeling appeared in my chest. It seemed that the decision I was going to make in several seconds wasn't just a normal cash withdrawal. I looked at the number 70 million on the document. And then I sighed. "Is everything fine, ma'am?" I asked. The teller nodded. "Yes, ma'am. If everything is fine, you can sign below." I nodded. "All right." I bent my head down and signed the document. Having done that, I put the document into the large envelope that I had prepared earlier and put the envelope into my bag. Getting up, I noticed myself in the glass wall of the bank. My face seemed tired and puffy eyes. There was a little calmness on my face, though. At least I could do something right. I couldn't save my marriage that morning. I couldn't relieve the pain in my heart, and I didn't even know what was going to happen between Liam and me. Still, I could help Joshua. At least, I could mak
Sienna's POV When the door to the car closed, I immediately leant my head against the backrest of the seat and sighed.I was just so very tired of everything that had been happening lately, though physically I felt just fine.My marriage. My relations with Liam. My suspicions. And the tears which seemed to run non-stop during the last couple of days.Closing my eyes, I thought about the fact that Liam had tried to speak with me once again today, telling me to hear his explanation, but I refused.And not because I hated him. Actually, the truth was that I still loved him.But I was afraid. Scared of something that could destroy the remaining trust towards him.Opening my eyes, I looked straight at the road and whispered to myself, "Why did everything become like this?"And then I remembered one thing. Joshua.Our agreement. Ten o'clock in the morning in front of the bank.Looking at the time on the dashboard clock of my car, I understood tha
Liam's POV Sienna's hand froze while she put her wallet inside, but she did not turn towards me. "I know that you are angry, I know that you are disappointed, but listen to my explanation, please."Sienna breathed deeply. "Liam." She finally turned towards me, and I felt my chest constricted.There was no anger in her eyes. Only tiredness."I can't." I stopped, trying to find something to say."I truly can't listen to anything right now." I wanted to argue, but she cut me off."But.""My heart is not ready." These words left me stunned.Sienna lowered her head. "Last night, I tried to sleep, but each time I closed my eyes, I heard you calling me 'Honey'."I sighed. "I can explain.""I know." She looked at me. "Perhaps, it will make sense."I was quite surprised. "Then.""But I'm not ready to listen right now."I fell silent.Sienna continued. "I am scared that I will start crying if I listen to you now. I do not want
Sienna's POV I cupped my mouth stifling a chuckle. "Mischievous right?”“Yes!" Noah agreed decisively as though he had uncovered the reasoning. "He didn’t want to end up as chicken soup!”I released a sigh. "So the carrot deserves to be penalized, correct?”
Sienna's POV Between us, a small silence now settled, but this time it felt like a bridge connecting us. He almost lifted his hand, almost touched me, but held back, as if giving me space to choose.“I hope,” he paused, his gaze falling to my hand before rising back to my face, “you stay
Sienna's POV Today’s morning was very warm. Like always, I got up first, switched on the soft kitchen lights, and started making breakfast. The aroma of toasted bread and eggs began to permeate the space, creating a subtle feeling of tranquility.I remained fixated on the
Sienna's POV We began assembling the blocks one by one. Noah burst into loud laughter every time Liam put a wall piece the wrong way. “Daddy, that’s upside down! The house will fall over!”Liam pretended to grumble. “Your dad has been an architect for three whole minutes, don’t dist
