ログインLiam's POV
The meeting finally came to an end. My head felt heavy after discussing shooting schedules, budgets, and revisions to the advertising concept. One by one, the teams dispersed, and all I wanted was to go back to my room, take a hot shower, and sleep.I had just stood up when a familiar voice stopped me.“Liam.”I held my breath for a moment before slowly turning around. Emily was walking toward me as if she had been waiting all this tiRachel's POV His tone was firm but still controlled. “Don’t blame Sienna.”Mom only raised her brow slightly, as if she didn’t care much.Mr. Liam then stood up. He gently took Mrs. Sienna’s hand, helping her rise from the sofa. “It seems there’s nothing more to ask,” he said calmly.I could see Mrs. Sienna still looked shaken, but she followed him without saying anything. I watched them stand slowly, her movements unsteady, as if every step required extra effort. Mr. Liam stayed by her side, never truly letting go of her hand.For a moment, I almost felt guilty.Almost.But that feeling quickly faded, replaced by something stronger wariness. Because the atmosphere could so easily turn into something uncontrollable.I glanced at Mom. She was still sitting calmly, as if nothing had happened. That faint smile remained on her lips, her sharp eyes observing their every movement.No regret. No hesitation Only a calmness that felt dangerous.“Is
Rachel's POV I could feel the tension in the room the moment I walked in with Mom earlier. At first, I thought this would just be a normal meeting with Noah's parents coming because they wanted to get to know me. But the atmosphere between them felt strange. The way Mom looked at them, and the way they looked back at her, made it seem like they all shared the same past.I didn’t know what had happened between them, but it was obvious they had known each other long before today, and that made me uneasy.When Mrs. Sienna finally asked me about Noah, I answered honestly. “I don’t know anything,” I said quietly, and all eyes immediately turned to me. I swallowed before continuing, “For almost a month now I haven’t seen Noah on campus either.”Without realizing it, I tightened my grip on the edge of my dress. “He hasn’t contacted me at all.”It was true. Noah had simply disappeared. At first, I thought he was just busy or working on something important. But as
Sienna's POV Emily gave us a faint smile, the same smile I remembered from years ago. The kind that always made me uneasy, as if something was hidden behind it.“Liam, Sienna,” she greeted softly, as if this were nothing more than a casual reunion. She stepped closer and gestured toward the sofa in the living room. “Please, have a seat. It’s been a long time.”Liam and I exchanged a brief glance before finally sitting down slowly. My body still felt stiff, while my mind was filled with questions crashing into each other.Emily sat gracefully on the sofa across from us, with Rachel beside her. Crossing her legs casually, she tilted her head slightly. “How long has it been?” she mused. “Ten years ago, maybe?” She let out a small laugh, as if recalling something pleasant. “I was quite surprised when I found out that my daughter and Noah know each other.”My heart tightened uncomfortably at the sound of my son’s name coming from her lips.I stared at Emily
Sienna's POV The car we were in slowly slowed down before finally stopping right in front of a large house in an elite neighborhood. Even from inside the car, I could already see the tall black iron gate with intricate designs, the perfectly arranged garden, and the grand modern-classic house that looked incredibly luxurious.I stared at it for a few seconds without saying anything.Beside me, Liam frowned slightly. “Is this really the house?” he asked quietly.I turned to him. “Why?”Liam looked back at the house. “I know a few clients who live in this area.”His tone turned serious. “And most of them are not ordinary people.”I took a deep breath and unfastened my seatbelt. “Liam,” I said softly but firmly, “I don’t care who lives here.”I looked at the house again, this time with a much heavier feeling. “I just want to make sure Noah is okay.”Liam didn’t respond immediately. He just looked at me for a moment before finally nodding. “Let’s go
Emily's POVI was thinking about Noah. About what he has been doing. About things I might not know how to talk about.I leaned back a little watching her calmly. "If you do not know just say you do not know.""Is it really that easy?" she asked."Yes." Rachel still looked unsure. "I do not want to seem like I am hiding something."I let out a laugh. "The more you try not to seem suspicious the more suspicious you will seem."She fell silent thinking about what I said."So I should just act like everything is normal?" she asked."Exactly." I replied. "Like meeting anyone for the first time."Rachel nodded slowly though she still did not look fully convinced. She glanced at her phone again. Let out a long breath."Noahs mom really wants to meet today." "Good." I answered briefly.Rachel turned to me imme
Emily's POV That afternoon I felt calm in the yoga room.I took a breath and held my warrior pose steady. The warm wooden floor beneath my feet, instrumental music and lavender essential oil usually relaxed my mind completely.Rachel stood a step in front of me doing the same move.“Inhale, hold and release." I said softly.She followed my instructions. Her movements seemed a bit off today.Then a phone vibrating sound broke the quiet from a table in the room's corner.Rachel frowned.She stepped out of her pose. I walked over to pick it up. I kept my position. My eyes followed her reaction.She looked at the screen. "Number." Without hesitation she silenced it. Put the phone back down.I almost smiled. She never liked answering calls from numbers.We continued the session for a minute.
Sienna's POVThe moment the car came to a halt, in the garage Noah swiftly unfastened his seatbelt. Jumped out brimming with energy. It was as though school, the trip and all the talks we had earlier hadn’t tired him in the slightest. That child genuinely resembled a sun that would
Sienna's POV I grabbed it. "What is this?”“A summons!" he replied with pride, his eyes gleaming. "For Mommy and Daddy!”I carefully unfolded the envelope. Within it lay a green card inviting me to the class performance happening this Saturday at 10 a.m.
Sienna's POV Before Noah enthusiasm could subside he went on, "And Noah wants to take part in math classes well.”I glanced. "What? Math lessons? You’re interested?”He agreed wholeheartedly. "Yes!”I restrained a grin. "You const
Sienna's POV Perhaps this is what it signifies to start over yet warmly. Gradual yet genuine. Today I sense that I’m building a fresh life with my small family.I scoop soup as Liam quietly asks, "Are you feeling nervous?”I looked at him somewhat amazed, by how h
