LOGINEmily's POV
I clenched my hand in my lap, my nails digging into my skin until a faint pain bloomed. At least physical pain was easier to face than this feeling of being sidelined. Liam was always good at it pretending to be calm, mature, as if all of this were merely professional. As if my feelings were nothing more than a minor inconvenience he needed to brush aside before returning to his “perfect” life.I exhaled softly. Sienna. That name again. The name he always used as a shieLiam's POV "Because I want to watch what is happening there."Sienna smiled. "Okay."Our car kept moving along the road. But, wanting to enjoy the driving process without thinking about something else, I tried to make my morning as serene as possible.We didn't drive for a long time, and finally, we found ourselves in front of the foundation. Slowing down our car, I stopped just in front of the gates, and Sienna unfastened her seat belt and turned to me."You are going straight to the office?""Yeah." Nodding, I said, "There are some things I need to do there."Looking at Sienna, I said, "Try to return home early today."She smiled. "You do not need to hurry too much. If you have a lot of work, then just complete it."Nodding, I said, "Okay."Sienna opened the car door, but before getting out of the car, she faced me again. "Be careful on the road."I smiled. "You also."Getting out of the car, Sienna went to the entrance of
Liam's POV After finishing our dinner, we both climbed back into the car. The morning seemed much brighter now, and we even had a laugh or two during dinner.No matter how hard it was, we didn't mention any word concerning our argument. The name of Wilona was never brought out and there was no question that could lead to tension between us.It was just the two of us again. As I started the engine and looked at Sienna sitting beside me, I was really thankful.After all the problems that happened during those weeks, I began to think that I am going to lose my wife. But this morning, Sienna is still here beside me, willing to smile and even willing to give me another chance.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel lightly. Thanks, Sienna.I promised myself that I am going to make everything better. However, for some reason, I couldn't help but think about Wilona.I can't forget about what happened on that day. From the hotel, to waking up forgetting every
Sienna's POV Nevertheless, perhaps I didn't have to do everything at once. Perhaps a second chance really started with something simple. With a flower. With an embrace. With a decision to trust someone again. I looked at Liam for a few moments before sighing. I placed my head on his chest. "I hope this will be the last time we fight like this." Liam softly caressed my hair. "I hope so too." "Don't make me doubt you again." "I promise." I closed my eyes. I hoped that he kept his promise, and I hoped that everything will be fine again starting today. Perhaps, we could eat dinner together, laugh, talk, and rebuild our mutual trust. I took a deep breath. Maybe, I really needed to learn how to forgive. Perhaps, love did not mean never getting hurt all the time. Sometimes, love meant working on the thing which was about to fall apart. That morning, I made my choice. I d
Sienna's POV I kept on staring at Liam, there was something in his eyes that made it even more difficult for me to come to a decision. I wanted to believe him. Seriously, maybe I had just overthought things. Maybe the last weeks had made my emotions unstable, because I had been so busy with the foundation, worrying about Noah and being tired of all the changes in our life. Maybe that was the reason why I was so sensitive right now. I glanced down at the flowers that were still in my hands. We have been through a lot together, losing Noah, the grieving period and those days when none of us was able to even smile. However, eventually we both managed to get on our feet again, we build the foundation and try to create a new happiness. Do I really want to ruin everything just because of some weeks full of misunderstandings? I sighed deeply. If I can't solve this problem now, maybe I'll never be able to get back to him, but the
Sienna's POV Liam looked at me. "I just wanted to give them to you."I nodded slowly. We were silent for some time.I almost forgot about the reason why I was here and that I should stay away from him.Then I looked into his eyes once again. There was something strange about him.Liam looked like a man with a very big weight on his shoulders. "Where have you been?" I asked him.His smile disappeared. His hesitation was noticeable; I saw it right away."Where were you last night?" I asked. My heart started beating faster, but I tried not to let it affect my voice."I was waiting for you to come home." Liam took a deep breath."I know.""But you didn't."Liam bowed his head. "I."He didn't finish, and now I had an even more uneasy feeling. "Why?" Liam raised his head and looked at me once again. There was something in his eyes for a brief moment.For some reason, I understood that his answer would decide whether our
Sienna's POV Once more, I found myself alone when I woke up. For a few moments, I just lay there and stared at the ceiling.Reaching for the cell phone which was lying beside my pillow, I realized there weren't any messages or calls from Liam, and thus, I stared at the screen for some time.It seemed like my husband really hadn't contacted me at all. I had no idea where he was sleeping last night.Closing my eyes, I asked myself a question. Was it even important? Haven't we been living like two strangers who happen to be sharing the same house during the past few weeks?Placing my cell phone back, I wondered whether this marriage really couldn't continue and the thought should've made me relieved somehow.However, somehow my chest became even tighter than it was before, and I rose from my bed.As soon as my feet touched the floor, my hand accidentally touched something on the small table beside the bed.Crash!Flinching from the sound, I froze be
Noah's POV I immediately sped up my eating when Mommy started smiling with that overly meaningful look in her eyes.The only safe option was to escape.“I’m done,” I said quickly as I stood up. “I’m going to work on my college assignment.”“So diligent,” Mommy commented in a tone
