Rachel's POV

Steven laughed quietly while telling a story about one of the people who collect his art. This guy offered a way low price for one of Stevens paintings. "He thought I was still in school and needed people to like my work," Steven said in a way.

I smiled at him. "So what did you say to the guy?"

"I told him it was okay. Not everyone likes art,” Steven said.

He sounded calm. I could tell he was pretty sure of himself. Steven knows what

  • Forgotten Wife: My Ex-Husband Regrets It After I Left   802

    Sienna's POV I stared at Joshua, who had just told me everything honestly."Does Wilona know that you don't want to help her anymore?"Joshua nodded."She knows. We even argued about it.""What did she say?""She threatened to drag me down with her if she ever got caught. She said I could also lose the life I'm building right now."I let out a slow breath."And how did you answer her?""I told her I'm tired of living with lies." Joshua looked at me with a steadier gaze. "I don't want to keep being someone who takes advantage of other people's kindness. I don't want to let Wilona hurt other people just because I'm afraid to face the consequences of my own mistakes."There was sincerity in his voice.I didn't know if he would be able to prove that change through his actions, but at least for the first time, he wasn't trying to run away from

    Sienna's POV Joshua didn't answer right away. He swallowed hard."I didn't know her whole plan from the start, ma'am. I really didn't. But after everything happened, after I saw what she did next, I started to realize that she deliberately made Mr. Liam be in a difficult situation. She wanted him to be in that exact situation.""How? How did she do it?""Wilona wanted to have something. Something she could use to pressure Mr. Liam with. Leverage. She knew Mr. Liam was married and that he loves his family very much. He's very protective of you, ma'am. Everyone knows that. She thought Mr. Liam would do anything so that the problem wouldn't reach you. So it wouldn't reach his wife. She thought if she could scare him with that, he'd pay."I felt my hands start to tremble. For real this time. I had to put them in my lap so he wouldn't see.It wasn't because I just found out Wilona wanted money. I'd already suspect

    Sienna's POV Joshua's face changed right away. Like, instantly.He just went quiet. And then he squeezed his hands together on top of the table so hard his knuckles turned white."I knew part of her plan. Before you and I even met."My heart started beating so fast I could hear it in my ears."Part of it?" I said. My voice sounded smaller than I wanted it to.Joshua nodded slowly, not looking at me."I knew Wilona wanted to get money from Mr. Liam. I knew that. And I also knew she had a plan about that night. The night Mr. Liam was at the bar. But I swear, ma'am, I didn't know all the details from the start. She never tells me everything. She never did."I tried so hard to hold back my shock. To not react."Then what actually happened that night, Joshua? Tell me."He looked at me then, and his face was just full of regret. Like he was already sorry for what he was about to say."I will tell you, ma'am. Everything. I promise. But I want you to know one thing first before I do.""What?

    Sienna's POV I took a slow breath, trying to keep my emotions steady. My fingers were wrapped so tight around the cup I thought it would break."Then start from the beginning. Tell me about your life with Wilona."Joshua was silent for a very long time before he finally started talking."Wilona is my biological sister. We grew up together, but after our parents died, everything changed. We didn't have much money. At first, we really were struggling just to survive."I listened without cutting him off."But over time, Wilona started doing all kinds of ways to get money. She often used sad stories so people would feel sorry for us. I joined her. I did it too. With her."My fingers tightened around the cup."So those stories you told me? About your hard life?""Some of it's true, ma'am. We really did live hard. But I didn't always tell the whole truth. I made it sound worse. So people would help more. So they'd give us more money."I just stared at him. I didn't even know what I was fe

    Sienna's POV That night, I could barely sleep. Not really.Every time I closed my eyes, Joshua was there. His face. His voice. That one confession playing over and over.Wilona is my sister.Such a simple sentence. Four words. But it just kept spinning in my head, like a record stuck on the same line. Like there was something I was supposed to remember, something important, right at the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't grab it.I kept trying to reason with myself. Telling myself - come on, Sienna. Blood doesn't make you the same person. Just because you share blood doesn't mean you share a soul. Joshua could be different from Wilona. He has to be different. I've seen it with my own eyes, how hard he's been trying to change his life. I didn't want to just wipe away all the good things I've seen in him just because of one confession.But I couldn't lie to myself either. The truth is, there are so many thin

    Sienna's POV Joshua nodded, but his eyes showed that he wasn't ready to tell everything right then and there. He glanced at his phone screen which kept lighting up with new orders."Forgive me. I should have told you from the beginning, but I didn't know how to start it. I was scared, Ma'am. Scared you would hate me. Scared you would think everything I did was a lie."I held my breath, trying to keep my voice calm. My hands were cold despite the night air."Then tell me now. I need to know, Joshua. This is not just about me anymore. This is about my husband."Joshua glanced at his phone, then looked at me again. A new order notification popped up, but he ignored it."Can we meet tomorrow afternoon, Ma'am?"I was silent."Tomorrow afternoon?""Yes. I will explain everything to you. About Wilona, about our relationship, and about things you haven't known so far." He pau

    Liam’s POV The morning was still gray when I opened my eyes. Sunlight hadn’t fully broken through the curtains yet, but the sound of last night’s rain had been replaced by a silence that felt oddly irritating. Beside me, Emily was still asleep, tucked under the blanket up to her chin. Her face loo

    Liam’s POV The sun hadn’t fully risen yet, but the doorbell rang loudly and repeatedly. I had just finished washing my face—hair still a mess, wearing a wrinkled shirt—when I dragged myself toward the door. Before I could open it, Noah’s excited voice rang out as he bolted from the living room.

    Sienna’s POV I woke up this morning with a wide smile on my face, whether from a good night’s sleep or the sound of the waves crashing gently in the distance, I didn’t know. Sunlight streamed through the thin white curtains that swayed softly in the sea breeze. Its warmth touched my skin, waking m
