LOGINSienna's POV
I gently loosened the small hand clutching my shirt. Noah was fast asleep now, though his face still held a trace of worry even in his dreams. I took a deep breath and leaned down to kiss his forehead one more time before slowly rising to my feet.Each step out of the room felt heavier than the last. Even the soft sound of the door being pulled closed behind me rang like a painful ending. I had never imagined returning to this house only to read a bedtime story and thenSienna's POV The days went by calmly. At a time, I started to see that our bond was slowly going back to the way it was before, even if not all the way.I can't say that all the worry in my heart had really gone away. Sometimes, when I saw Liam looking off into space for a long time or going quiet when his phone rang, my mind would still get filled with questions.But, I was trying. I really was trying to trust him and Liam looked like he was doing the same thing cause he was working hard to fix it all.Every couple of days, I would see fresh blooms in the home. At times they were red roses, at other times lilies, and at moments they were tiny flowers in gentle shades whose names I didn’t even know One morning, I stepped out of the room and saw a jar full of blooms on the eating table. I grinned.“Liam.”He sat close by, looking at something on his phone. "Huh?"“Where did these c
Liam's POV “I think you should see this, Mr. Liam.”Wilona showed me her gallery. When I saw the photo, I felt as if all of the blood drained from my body. In the photo, there was Wilona and I in a hotel room.It looked like I was sleeping, but Wilona was next to me. Our bodies were under the blanket, and I turned away right away.“Where did you take this from?”Wilona smiled at me. “I took it myself.”I glared at her fiercely. “You. Wasn’t that night an accident?”“I don’t know. But if you don’t fulfill my demand, Mr. Liam, then I’ll make sure this photo gets out.”I walked a little closer to her. “No way.”“Why?”Wilona gave me a cold smile. “Are you afraid of Sienna seeing it?”My chest was tight as I realized how much worse things could look like in the picture.Sienna would never know anything about what had actually happened between us on that day. She would only see a picture of Wilona and me in a hotel room.It would be en
Liam's POV That morning, when I got to work, my mind was totally messed up because from that time I had spent in the party, I could not get the thoughts off my mind about Wilona, especially what happened in that conversation with my wife.I did not know what she was up to but I knew for sure I had to do something to prevent her from getting near to my wife.Once I came out from the lift, my eyes fell on Wilona as she was walking with some documents in hand.“Wilona.”She paused. “Sir Liam?”I walked towards her but kept quiet as my hands snatched hers and dragged her to my office.“Sir.”“Go in.”Once we entered the room, I slammed the door and glared at her.“What do you mean by approaching Sienna that way yesterday?”Wilona just smiled. “Why?”“Don’t tell me you didn’t know.”“Aren’t you afraid of me, Mr. Liam?”I clenched my fists. “If I’ve already paid you, why are you still messing with my business?”Wilona shrugged.
Sienna's POV "Sometimes Wilona is too absorbed in her work.""But she promised me that she would help you find some clients." Liam shook his head."She used this as a pretext." I looked at him."Pretext to do what?" Liam remained silent.I waited for his answer but all I got was silence. Only his gaze kept going forward."Liam." He looked at me."Yes?""Is there anything that you’re hiding from me?" He immediately locked his gaze into mine."No." And now his answer came without delay.However, that pause added even more questions to my head. I slowly pulled my hand away.Liam looked surprised, but he didn’t insist on keeping our hands together. I looked at him."I don’t want us to return back to how it was." He changed his expression."What do you mean?""I don’t want to constantly start thinking that you are doing something wrong each time I notice something strange." Liam looked at me with a serious expression. "I don’t want
Sienna's POV I was stunned to see Wilona standing right in front of me. I recognized her from the way she looked, because I remembered Wilona from Liam's stories; she was an intern at Liam's firm.But to be standing there at such a fancy party took me by surprise. Who would have thought that a normal intern would come to such a party?To my knowledge, this was not a party that just anyone could attend. The guest list consisted of either business associates, clients, relatives, or people related to the host.I stared at Wilona for a few seconds before giving her a small smile. "Hello, Mrs. Sienna."Wilona returned my smile. "How are you?""I am fine." I nodded in response.To be honest, I felt quite embarrassed. She was someone that I had never really known personally; all that I knew about her was what Liam had told me.Wilona then said, "So how's your relationship with Mr. Liam?" And with that, I frowned instantly; I did not expect such a weird ques
Liam's POV Wilona was standing directly in front of Sienna. The two women were facing each other.I immediately fell silent. It felt as though the blood had stopped flowing through my body.Sienna looked slightly confused, while Wilona was smiling. It was the same smile she had given me earlier.That smile made the back of my neck feel cold. Something about it filled me with dread.“Liam?” Edward’s voice reached me again.I barely heard him. My eyes couldn’t leave the two women.Wilona was saying something to Sienna. I had no idea what it was.I could only see her lips moving from where I stood. Sienna suddenly frowned.My hands slowly curled into fists. No.I had to stop this. Edward was still standing in front of me, talking as though nothing was wrong.I was trapped between an unfinished conversation and the terrifying possibility that one conversation across the room could destroy everything. I was truly afraid.I wasn’t afraid of losing money. I wasn’t afraid of Wilona.I wa
Sienna's POV The room was already dark when I finished placing the book I’d been reading on the nightstand beside the bed. The soft patter of rain outside the window made everything feel calm, as if the world itself was taking a long breath before sleep. Noah had been fast asleep for ne
Sienna’s POVThe trip to the library felt shorter than usual, maybe because my thoughts were still warm with what had happened at school earlier. The scenery outside Liam’s car window moved slowly, rows of trees, small shops, traffic lights changing colors but my feelings weren’t fully t
Sienna's POV Liam gave a smirk, a subtle lift, at the edge of his mouth almost imperceptible unless closely observed.“Alright, alright. I’m on my way.”I accompanied them to the entrance. The crisp morning breeze flowed inside chilly yet invigorating. Noah hopped
Sienna's POV We headed to the cashier laughing softly. It seemed as though there was room within me once more. Room to breathe. Room to hope. Room to progress.We exited the café at a speed the late afternoon breeze caressing our skin. Liliana quickly indicated a quaint cake sh
