FAZER LOGINSienna's POV Joshua smiled slightly. "Maybe I was like that when I was a kid too."I giggled lightly. "Maybe."I looked at the road again. "He also loved eating chocolate biscuits. Every time we went grocery shopping, he would put them in the shopping cart."Joshua laughed slightly. "There was actually such a kid who used to do that."I joined him with laughter, but my eyes started to water. "Yes."I breathed deeply. "And he also loved drawing. Airplanes, cars, houses. Sometimes it was very hard to understand, but he was always so proud to show me what he drew."Joshua continued to listen without interruption. I could not understand why I told him about it, maybe it was because these memories were mine for too long."After he was gone." I stopped for a while. "It seemed that my whole life was stopped as well."Joshua did not interrupt me. "The first six years were very hard for me. Each corner of this house reminded me of him. Even the sound of c
Sienna's POVAfter putting all the groceries in the trunk, Joshua started closing it. "There, it is all done."I released a relieved sigh. "If it wasn't you, I would still be picking up oranges."Joshua laughed. "Surely."I laughed along too. I couldn't remember when was the last time I laughed this calmly. Joshua took a glance at the trunk that was filled up."Wow, that is a lot. All for the foundation?"I nodded. "Yes. Food, vitamins, and medicine. One of the kids had a fever today, so I wanted to buy all that I need while I'm here."Immediately after, Joshua's face took on an admiring look. "You care about them."I smiled. "They feel like family to me."Joshua nodded slowly. "They are lucky to have you."I gazed at him. "I am the lucky one. I got the opportunity to meet them."Joshua smiled sincerely. We were silent for several seconds until he gazed up at the orange-colored sky."Miss Sienna.""Yes?""Do you dri
Sienna's POV"I will say you are right. It is very exhausting. But whenever I see their smiling faces, all that exhaustion becomes insignificant."The cashier smiled. "I hope your foundation will continue to grow, ma'am.""Amen."I turned my attention back to the things the cashier was scanning. There really were many things: from food and drinks to fruits, vegetables, kitchen stuff, cleaning things, and medicines.When I saw how much I had to pay, I was not surprised. I knew I had to pay a lot from the very beginning.I took my credit card out of my purse and gave it to the cashier. After the transaction was finished, several employees started to put the things into shopping bags."Don't mix this one with food, please," I said, pointing at the bag of medicines."All right, ma'am.""Please, separate fruits and vegetables as well."“Yes, ma’am.”I gave a faint smile. As soon as I was done with everything, I began collect
Sienna's POV Rafa's condition had improved by late afternoon. He was no longer suffering from high fever, although it had not totally subsided. His face was starting to regain color once more, and he requested chicken porridge for his lunch.Upon seeing that, I was able to exhale in relief. "Rest well, all right?" I stroked Rafa's hair. "Tonight, I will call Rina to see how you are doing."A nod from Rafa. "Yes, Mrs. Sienna." His weak smile helped lighten my burden.I left the clinic and saw some volunteers organize the night duty schedule. "If anything happens, let me know right away.""Yes, Mrs. Sienna."I nodded slowly. Today certainly reminded me that aside from love and affection, the children need the attention towards their health needs.My eyes fell on the medicine cabinet located on the corner of the clinic. The inventory of medicines was beginning to decrease; there were just a few strips of fever medicine left, with children's vitamins almost
Sienna'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
Sienna's POV I did trust him. Liam had proven again and again that this family was the center of his life. Even when Emily kept pushing in, even when rumors spread, Liam stayed by my side, never wavering.I repeated that sentence in my mind like a mantra, trying to root it deeper. Trust
Sienna's POV There was something in Liam’s voice earlier that felt different. Not something obvious, not like he was lying, but a small pause, as if he were holding something back. His tone had been softer, more careful. Usually, when he was out of town for work, Liam would talk lightly, ev
Sienna's POV After everything was set on the breakfast table, I glanced at the clock and realized Noah must be fully awake by now. There was no way that child would fall back asleep after leaving his room earlier. I walked over to him, sitting on the sofa hugging his stuffed toy, his eyes st
Sienna's POV I followed them to the front door. Liam opened it, holding Noah’s back so the child wouldn’t run out too fast. Before stepping outside, Liam turned slightly.“Sienna, take care of yourself.”I smiled gently. “Always.”The door closed.And the house felt a little
