LOGINSienna'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 whiSienna's POV My chest felt warm and sad at the same time hearing his answer. That boy always tried to appear strong, as if he was never allowed to show weakness in front of anyone.“Joshua, you don’t have to pretend to be strong in front of me,” I said gently. “If you’re in pain, just say so. If you have a problem, you can also talk about it.”He looked at me for a moment. “All right, Ma’am.”I stroked his hair, then asked the officer to make sure whether Joshua needed a medical examination. After that, we went back to waiting until several parents arrived to pick up their children.Not long after, the police called me back to the administration desk. I stood up and signaled for Joshua to follow me.The officer then explained several procedures before finally handing me some documents.“Because this is not a serious case and there are no serious reports from the parties involved, Joshua can be t
Sienna’s POVThe call came while I was in the car on my way home. An unknown number appeared on the screen, and I hesitated for a moment before finally answering it.“Hello?”“Is this Mrs. Sienna?”“Yes. Who is this?”“This is the police. We want to inform you that a young man named Joshua is currently at our station because he was involved in a fight.”I immediately fell silent.“Joshua?”“Yes, Ma’am.”“What happened?”“For further explanation, it would be better if you come to the station.”“All right. I’ll be there.”I didn’t think twice and turned the steering wheel toward the police station. Throughout the drive, my mind was filled with questions.Joshua?That boy had worried me several times before, but I had never imagined he would get involved in a fight.What had ac
Liam's POV “You already used those photos to get money.” “I can still use them again.” I glared at her angrily. “You won’t get anything from me if you keep threatening me.” “Really?” “Yes.” Wilona smiled. “Then perhaps I should try another way.” I immediately looked at her. “What way?” She put her phone back into her bag. “Talk to Sienna.” My heart seemed to stop for a moment. “Don’t involve my wife.” “Why?” Wilona looked at me calmly. “Doesn’t she have the right to know?” “There’s nothing she needs to know.” “Then give me a reason to stay silent.” I slowly shook my head. “You already got your money.” “But I still haven’t gotten what I really need.” “What is that?” Wilona gave me a faint smile before answering. “Certainty.” I let out a sigh. “You call that doing nothing?” Wilona sighed deeply. “I still need compensation.” I turned toward her quickly. “Compensation?” “Yes.” “For what now?” She lowered her head. “I feel like something is going to happen to me ev
Liam's POV Since the night of the party, I did all I could to keep away from Wilona. I even told my helper to change how her job was done.“From now on all of Wilona’s reports should be sent straight to her supervisor” I said.My helper seemed puzzled for a bit. “They don't have to come to the desk, Mr Liam”“No.”“Alright, sir.”I didn’t mind if my choice looked odd. I just wanted Wilona to stop having a reason to come near me.I didn’t want to look at her or talk to her. Most of all, I didn’t want her close to Sienna.Whenever I saw Wilona in the office hall, I would quickly search for another way. Even an elevator had turned into trouble.One morning, I was standing in front of the lift when the doors opened. Wilona was in there so I straight away made a hard grin.“Go ahead.”I let her go before I pressed the button for the next lift. O
Sienna's POV After Noah was gone, all those dreams began to feel like things I could never have again. The foundation slowly filled that empty space.That didn’t mean the children here could replace Noah, because no one could ever replace my son. However, their presence gave me a reason to get up every morning and offer something meaningful to the world.“Mrs. Sienna?”I came back to reality when the administrator called me again. “Yes?”“Are you alright?”I gave her a small smile. “I’m fine. Why?”“You seemed lost in thought.”“It’s nothing. I was just thinking about something.”She didn’t ask any further questions. I appreciated her attitude because not every memory needed to be explained to someone else to feel real.I then left the kitchen and walked toward the backyard. Several children were playing with a ball while two administrators watched them closely, and when one little boy saw me, he immediately ran toward me with an ex
Sienna's POV Since deciding to go on vacation to Hawaii with Liam, I had actually become even busier. It wasn’t because I was preparing my clothes or thinking about the places I wanted to visit.Quite the opposite. My mind was filled with thoughts about the foundation, and I couldn’t possibly leave for several days without making sure everything was in order. The foundation was not simply a place I visited to fill my free time.It has become a part of my life. Every child living there had a story, their own wounds, and their own fears.Most of them had come to this place after losing something they could never get back. Perhaps that was why I found it so difficult to leave them, even for just a few days.That morning, I arrived earlier than usual. The sun had barely risen high in the sky when my car entered the foundation’s courtyard, and several children playing outside immediately turned toward me.“Mom Sienna!”I smiled. Before I had even managed to s
Sienna's POV Liam turned to me and giggled, warming the room just a little even though my chest still felt like it was being cut open from the inside.Liam looked at me with a gentle smile. “You two did great.”I returned the smile, trying to make it as sincere as possible. I di
Liam's POV I never expected the walk to Emily’s apartment to feel this heavy. On the way there, my mind kept replaying the fabricated images that had spread overnight photos taken without my consent, stitched together with false narratives deliberately crafted to provoke the public.I ha
Liam's POV Sienna stood at the kitchen doorway with a surprised expression, her hair still slightly messy from sleep. Noah immediately ran toward me.“Daddy! Daddy’s cooking?” he exclaimed happily.I smiled and ruffled his hair. “Yeah, sweetheart. Daddy woke up early.”
Emily's POV I stepped closer, one step at a time, until he could smell my perfume. “Willy you don’t understand. I love Liam.”My gaze pierced straight through him. “I was the first. I was the one the world knew beside him. Isn’t it only natural that I take back what was mine to be
