LOGINLiam's POV
Willy nodded. A trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes. "I get it sir. I’m not requesting anything from you. I merely believed it was crucial that you were aware of the truth. Emily isn’t merely exhausted. She appears confused.”Quietness remained for moments.The gentle buzz of the air conditioner occupied the space like a burden settling in."And I need to be truthful, " Willy murmured softly. "Our reason for becoming the group of mLiam's POV Since the night of the party, I did all I could to keep away from Wilona. I even told my helper to change how her job was done.“From now on all of Wilona’s reports should be sent straight to her supervisor” I said.My helper seemed puzzled for a bit. “They don't have to come to the desk, Mr Liam”“No.”“Alright, sir.”I didn’t mind if my choice looked odd. I just wanted Wilona to stop having a reason to come near me.I didn’t want to look at her or talk to her. Most of all, I didn’t want her close to Sienna.Whenever I saw Wilona in the office hall, I would quickly search for another way. Even an elevator had turned into trouble.One morning, I was standing in front of the lift when the doors opened. Wilona was in there so I straight away made a hard grin.“Go ahead.”I let her go before I pressed the button for the next lift. O
Sienna's POV After Noah was gone, all those dreams began to feel like things I could never have again. The foundation slowly filled that empty space.That didn’t mean the children here could replace Noah, because no one could ever replace my son. However, their presence gave me a reason to get up every morning and offer something meaningful to the world.“Mrs. Sienna?”I came back to reality when the administrator called me again. “Yes?”“Are you alright?”I gave her a small smile. “I’m fine. Why?”“You seemed lost in thought.”“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something.”She didn’t ask any further questions. I appreciated her attitude because not every memory needed to be explained to someone else to feel real.I then left the kitchen and walked toward the backyard. Several children were playing with a ball while two administrators watched them closely, and when one little boy saw me, he immediately ran toward me with an ex
Sienna's POV Since deciding to go on vacation to Hawaii with Liam, I had actually become even busier. It wasn’t because I was preparing my clothes or thinking about the places I wanted to visit.Quite the opposite. My mind was filled with thoughts about the foundation, and I couldn’t possibly leave for several days without making sure everything was in order. The foundation was not simply a place I visited to fill my free time.It has become a part of my life. Every child living there had a story, their own wounds, and their own fears.Most of them had come to this place after losing something they could never get back. Perhaps that was why I found it so difficult to leave them, even for just a few days.That morning, I arrived earlier than usual. The sun had barely risen high in the sky when my car entered the foundation’s courtyard, and several children playing outside immediately turned toward me.“Mom Sienna!”I smiled. Before I had even managed to s
Sienna's POV Liam swallowed. “I mean, I will.”Why he hesitated, I don’t know, but I was not going to prolong the conversation anymore. Maybe, I wanted to give us a chance to try again or, perhaps, I was afraid of the truth breaking our tenuous harmony.So, on that day, when we got back home, Liam immediately made me sit down in the living room saying that he needed to do something for me and did not allow me to enter the kitchen until he was done.“What are you doing?” I asked, sitting on the sofa.“It’s a surprise.”“Well, just make sure you won’t set our apartment on fire.”“I can hear you, Sienna!”Laughing, I lay down on the sofa and after some time I started feeling the wonderful smell of the food spreading all around the room.Closing my eyes for one second, I felt the warmth filling up my heart. But when Liam walked out from the kitchen, he was wearing an apron and looked absolutely serious.Seeing how messy his hair was and
Sienna's POV The days went by calmly. At a time, I started to see that our bond was slowly going back to the way it was before, even if not all the way.I can't say that all the worry in my heart had really gone away. Sometimes, when I saw Liam looking off into space for a long time or going quiet when his phone rang, my mind would still get filled with questions.But, I was trying. I really was trying to trust him and Liam looked like he was doing the same thing cause he was working hard to fix it all.Every couple of days, I would see fresh blooms in the home. At times they were red roses, at other times lilies, and at moments they were tiny flowers in gentle shades whose names I didn’t even know One morning, I stepped out of the room and saw a jar full of blooms on the eating table. I grinned.“Liam.”He sat close by, looking at something on his phone. "Huh?"“Where did these c
Liam's POV “I think you should see this, Mr. Liam.”Wilona showed me her gallery. When I saw the photo, I felt as if all of the blood drained from my body. In the photo, there was Wilona and I in a hotel room.It looked like I was sleeping, but Wilona was next to me. Our bodies were under the blanket, and I turned away right away.“Where did you take this from?”Wilona smiled at me. “I took it myself.”I glared at her fiercely. “You. Wasn’t that night an accident?”“I don’t know. But if you don’t fulfill my demand, Mr. Liam, then I’ll make sure this photo gets out.”I walked a little closer to her. “No way.”“Why?”Wilona gave me a cold smile. “Are you afraid of Sienna seeing it?”My chest was tight as I realized how much worse things could look like in the picture.Sienna would never know anything about what had actually happened between us on that day. She would only see a picture of Wilona and me in a hotel room.It would be en
Sienna's POV Looking towards the door, I saw Liam wearing a light blue shirt with his sleeves slightly folded up. He had a bit of slobber, possibly due to the wind chill.' He seemed exhausted, but the warmth of his smile and the constant gaze on me made my heart feel soft and pliable.Li
Sienna's POV Noah's face became too serious to hold his father' s hand while he said, "Deal!" Without realizing the truth, I just smiled. It had that enticing feeling of being with such close, warm hands once again, without the invisible distance between us.The only language Liam k
Sienna's POV I smooch at the shiny oven door, staring into the mirror. I used to look heavier, but now my face looks softer than it did before. I had not seen such a small smile in ages.Liam suddenly slipped my mind. His eyes remained vividly in the memory of his farewell. Something tha
Sienna's POV Upon finishing the phone call, I felt warm and cozy inside. I sat on the front porch once more, sipping hot tea. Small birds swarmed the trees, and schoolchildren's laughter played out loud in the distance.My tea was slowly ingested. The taste was soothing.The garden w
