LOGINLiam's POV
“Emily, I’m not eating here. I’m going back to my room.”She looked up at me, her expression stiffening. “You’re going to leave me eating alone?”“I need to rest.”And more than that, I needed to leave before this situation became even more tangled.Emily leaned forward slightly, her chin resting on the back of her hand, as if I were today’s favorite show. The waiter returned with cream soup and toasted bread, then left quickly.For some reason, everSienna's POV I took a long breath and slowly rose from the couch."I should go home."Rachel lifted her head. Her eyes immediately followed my movement. I gave her a faint smile even though it felt heavy."And... I'm sorry."Rachel looked confused."Sorry?"I nodded slowly."I came here angry."My voice sounded softer than I intended."I didn't even think about your feelings."My chest tightened."I was only thinking about Noah."My eyes burned again as I said my son's name."I may have placed a burden on you with all of this."Rachel quickly shook her head."No."I looked at her.Rachel wiped away the remaining tears and tried to smile."Really, Auntie."Her voice was still hoarse."I'm actually grateful that you came."I fell silent.Not everyone would say something like that after hearing the truth I had just learned.Rachel lowered her gaze for a moment before speaking again."Ma
Sienna's POV Rachel lowered her head for a long moment before finally whispering."I was just about to fix everything."Silent tears slipped down her face. A few seconds later, she whispered again."And then Noah was gone."Those words made my eyes burn all over again."I never even got the chance to truly apologize to him."I stared at her for a long moment. The guilt written across her face was overwhelming.For some reason, I didn't see someone who deserved blame.I only saw a child who was hurting. A child who had lost someone before she had the chance to make things right.I gently rubbed the back of her hand."Rachel."She lifted her face.Tears still covered her cheeks. Her eyes were swollen and red from crying."You are not at fault."Rachel immediately shook her head."But I-""No."I interrupted her softly."Listen to me."She fell silent.I took a deep breath before speaking
Sienna's POV "Rachel!"I quickly got up from the couch when Rachel suddenly fell over.It seemed like all the power had gone from her body. Her face turned deathly pale. Her eyes were empty.I caught her shoulders before she fell on the floor."Easy."I guided her back onto the sofa.Rachel didn't sit quietly. Her body trembled. Her hands felt cold. Tears streamed endlessly down her face."I-"Her voice broke apart. She put her head down and hid her face with both hands."I'm so sorry."Pain tightened inside my chest.Seeing Rachel like this, reminds me of myself the past few days.Broken. Grieving.Trapped inside a prison of regret."I didn't know."Rachel's sobs grew louder."I didn't think Mom would make such a bad choice."I remained silent.
Sienna's POV Another tear fell. It landed on my hand."Why Noah?"The light turned green. I drove forward once more.The nearer I got to Rachel's home, the more the wrath grew. It blazed through the sadness for a moment.Emily had taken everything. Not only my son.She took the future Noah was to have. Every wish that was meant for him had vanished.His trip to Hawaii. His graduation. His wedding someday.Everything.Every little thing was taken away. For no reason.Without the right to do so.I nibbled my lip more. If Emily really thought she could leave and begin again after all this, she was mistaken.A few mins later, my auto got into Rachel's area. The big home showed up from far away.I slowed down the car. My heart started to beat faster with each second that went by.It wasn’t due to fear it
Sienna's POV I couldn't be calm. I couldn't take a seat. I couldn't breathe right.Each time I shut my eyes I saw Noah's face. Then Emily's face. Then Noah once more. Then Emily again.The loop went on forever. It did not halt for a single moment.I didn't even see when my hand went for a car key on the living room table. All I knew was that I had to go.Now."Sienna!"Liam's sound came from behind me while I rushed to the front door. I didn't pause."Sienna, wait!"I kept going. The mad that had been hidden under my sadness had at last taken over my whole body.I yanked the door wide and walked right to the driveway my heart raced in my ears"Sienna!"Liam at last caught up with me. He took my arm before I had a chance to open the car door,"I can't let you go alone."I turned to look at him. My ey
Sienna's POVI could not breathe. My chest felt like it was being squeezed hard from the inside.My head was shaking fast. Tears just kept falling and falling while every breath I took was getting shorter."No."My voice was all broken."No, Liam."My chest was going up and down fast. My whole body was shaking because I was feeling many emotions all at once."What did you just say?" I asked Liam with a voice that was shaking."Emily hit Noah?"Liam looked like he wanted to come to me. So I took a step back before he could touch me.My eyes were stuck on his face. I was looking hard for some sign that this was all just a big mistake.A sign that I had heard wrong. A sign that none of this was real.The look on Liam's face told me that it was not a mistake. He looked really serious.Pain was squeezing my c
Sienna's POVMy shopping basket gradually started to gather items, some vegetables, chicken I selected with care and various other dinner ingredients. I wasn’t sure if Liam would arrive home late or on time. I aimed to make something warm for him. For the three of us. Somehow the ho
Sienna's POV “Nooo!" Noah protested cutely. He obediently settled back into the tub. I took a cup and carefully poured warm water over his tiny body ensuring all the soap was rinsed off."Mommy if Noah is capable of performing a move then Mommy must address Noah as Master Noah,
Liam's POV I slid my hands into my pockets as I strolled down the sidewalk. My fingers lightly drummed on my phone, a habit whenever my mind felt cluttered. The sound of my steps merged with the swaying of branches moved by the breeze.Away I noticed my vehicle. The illuminatio
Sienna's POV “Noah was the first to laugh," he confessed. "Then he assisted. Kevin’s fine! He mentioned that falling is a part of ninja training.” I chuckled. "Wow ninja trips often as well huh?” “Indeed! A resilient ninja is one who continually
