LOGINNoah’s POV
I sat in my car staring at the campus building for a second. Then I turned the steering wheel.Today I decided not to go to class.Usually I would. Head straight to class.. This morning felt different. Rachel’s words from night kept replaying in my mind.She said I should try painting like Steven. I should become the number one racer. I should win a boxing tournament.I almost laughed when I remembered it.RaLiam's POV Finally, we were done. I sighed with relief when Kevin shut off his laptop."Well then, I will send all revisions in this afternoon," he said.I nodded. "Okay. Remember to check the budget section again."Kevin nodded and then got up. Wilona also collected the papers in front of her and one by one, everyone left the meeting room.I stayed put. My head felt heavy, and since the morning, my thoughts were fixated only on Sienna.How was she feeling now? Was she still angry? Was she at peace at all?I wanted to contact her, but I restrained myself. I had promised her to give her some space.Right after I was about to get up, my phone vibrated. There was a notification, so I picked up my phone and read the notification.A seventy million cash withdrawal.I frowned. "Sienna?"I read the notification again. It was clear that the name of the account holder was Sienna and the date of transaction was today.An immediate feeling of un
Sienna's POV However, before signing, I stopped for a second. Somehow, some strange feeling appeared in my chest.It seemed that the decision I was going to make in several seconds wasn't just a normal cash withdrawal. I looked at the number 70 million on the document.And then I sighed."Is everything fine, ma'am?" I asked.The teller nodded. "Yes, ma'am. If everything is fine, you can sign below."I nodded. "All right."I bent my head down and signed the document. Having done that, I put the document into the large envelope that I had prepared earlier and put the envelope into my bag.Getting up, I noticed myself in the glass wall of the bank. My face seemed tired and puffy eyes.There was a little calmness on my face, though. At least I could do something right.I couldn't save my marriage that morning. I couldn't relieve the pain in my heart, and I didn't even know what was going to happen between Liam and me.Still, I could help Josh
Sienna's POV When the door to the car closed, I immediately leant my head against the backrest of the seat and sighed.I was just so very tired of everything that had been happening lately, though physically I felt just fine.My marriage. My relations with Liam. My suspicions. And the tears which seemed to run non-stop during the last couple of days.Closing my eyes, I thought about the fact that Liam had tried to speak with me once again today, telling me to hear his explanation, but I refused.And not because I hated him. Actually, the truth was that I still loved him.But I was afraid. Scared of something that could destroy the remaining trust towards him.Opening my eyes, I looked straight at the road and whispered to myself, "Why did everything become like this?"And then I remembered one thing. Joshua.Our agreement. Ten o'clock in the morning in front of the bank.Looking at the time on the dashboard clock of my car, I understood tha
Liam's POV Sienna's hand froze while she put her wallet inside, but she did not turn towards me. "I know that you are angry, I know that you are disappointed, but listen to my explanation, please."Sienna breathed deeply. "Liam." She finally turned towards me, and I felt my chest constricted.There was no anger in her eyes. Only tiredness."I can't." I stopped, trying to find something to say."I truly can't listen to anything right now." I wanted to argue, but she cut me off."But.""My heart is not ready." These words left me stunned.Sienna lowered her head. "Last night, I tried to sleep, but each time I closed my eyes, I heard you calling me 'Honey'."I sighed. "I can explain.""I know." She looked at me. "Perhaps, it will make sense."I was quite surprised. "Then.""But I'm not ready to listen right now."I fell silent.Sienna continued. "I am scared that I will start crying if I listen to you now. I do not want
Liam's POV As I stood in front of the bedroom door, my head was pounding. Sienna wouldn't open the door nor listen to any of my explanations, and to be honest, I really didn't know what to do.I rubbed my face in frustration. "Damn." I couldn't imagine that this tiny problem would become this big issue, especially when I knew for sure who had called me before.Kevin is one of my employees. He had called to ask me about our next project, since there were lots of details to be clarified before tomorrow's meeting.But from the point of view of Sienna, I could perfectly understand why everything seemed in a completely different way. At least, since the last few weeks.I traveled out of town quite often, returned home very late, and failed to call her regularly. What was the worst of all – the name of Wilona sounded too many times in our conversation.I closed my eyes, trying to figure out how to explain everything. I remembered that just seconds ago, before Sien
Sienna's POVIt had barely gotten dark outside by the time I reached home. It had been one very long day indeed.After leaving the book store, running into Joshua, dropping him off at the pharmacy and handling some affairs of the foundation, I was absolutely exhausted. I slowly opened the front door and felt that the house was strangely silent.I placed my bag on the table in the entrance area and stepped inside. But I couldn't take more than a couple of steps when I stopped.Liam was sleeping on the sofa. I watched him from a distance and felt that he must have gotten home just recently.His jacket had been taken off and thrown carelessly on the back of the chair. His slightly wrinkled shirt and messed up hair confirmed that he was exhausted.And so was his face. He had very dark rings under his eyes that I could see clearly.I did not know for how long he had been asleep. For some reason, the sight of him sleeping there caused some kind of pain to come
Sienna's POV The answer was simple. Honest. And it left no room for pity or obligation.I smiled and nodded. “Alright. Mommy will say that.”Noah’s face looked relieved, as if a small burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He then turned to another shelf and picked up
Sienna's POV Liam’s car moved slowly toward Noah’s school. The morning air was still fresh, the sky a clear blue without even a trace of dark clouds, as if it knew today was going to matter. Noah sat in the back seat, clutching his blue bag tightly the bag that held a gift for Bam. He looked
