Mag-log inSienna'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, yet her eyes were as warm as ever.“I guess this is where we part,” she said softly.I nodded. “Yeah. I should head home too before Noah starves waiting for dinner.”Liliana smiled faintLiam'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 The clock in the living room had already struck ten at night. The house was really quiet.I was sitting alone on the sofa staring at the cup of tea I had made two hours ago. It was now completely cold. The television was on. I was not really watching it.My eyes kept looking at the wall clock. Then at the front door. There had been no news, no messages and no phone calls from Liam.I had unlocked my phone hoping to see a message from Liam. The screen remained empty.Liam always kept me updated, no matter how busy he was. That has changed over the past few weeks.I held my phone tightly. Was I thinking much about everything? Has something really changed with Liam?I remembered what happened a day ago. Liam walking out of the bar was still clear in my mind.The young woman who had hugged him was hard to forget. So was her name.Wilona.I close
Sienna's POV"Mrs. Sienna."I turned around in shock. Joshua had approached me without a second thought, and the second he saw the blood on my hand, his face paled in horror."Oh no."The second his worried gaze landed on me, his face tightened with alarm."How did this happen?"I just stared at him. The words just weren't working.Joshua reached into his pocket without any hesitation and pulled out a clean handkerchief, unfolding it gently."May I see it?"Before I could respond, he gently took my hand with both of his."You cut yourself with the shears?"That was all I could do, nod my head in response.Joshua released a long sigh of relief after examining the wound. His shoulders dropped with happiness. "You really..."He shook his head, almost laughing at the situation"You're
Sienna’s POV The dining table in front of me was now filled with the dishes Liam had just finished. The savory, fragrant aroma filled the dining room, making my stomach, which was still not very strong, feel the rumbling. Liam arranged everything neatly, even pouring soup into small bowls be
Sienna’s POV My hand paused as I placed the last spoon on the table. A strange feeling surged through me, the feeling that I was desperately trying to hold on to something that could collapse at any moment. It felt like preparing a shield, even though I knew another storm might come.
Liam’s POV Emily approached, her steps hitting the terrace floor firmly. Now we were only a foot apart, and I could see her eyes wet with anger. “Then, it was my fault, wasn’t it? Wrong for trusting? Wrong for thinking we had a future?”I didn’t answer right away. Her words were li
Sienna’s POV I splashed cold water on my face. The sensation refreshed my eyes, as if washing away the last traces of sleep. I tidied my messy hair and changed out of the patient’s gown into something neater. It felt good to see my reflection in the mirror without the drained expression I ha
