INICIAR SESIÓNSienna's POV
I walked by the little room. Then I saw someone standing at the window with her back towards me.Her body shook a bit, and her long hair was messy. When she turned slowly, I stopped.Emily. The color drained from her face instantly.Her eyes got big in surprise. Scared showed on her face."Y-you?" Her voice trembled."Sienna?" She looked at me like she had spotted a spirit.I grabbed my handsSienna's POV I walked by the little room.

The color drained from her face instantly.Her eyes got big in surprise. Scared showed on her face."Y-you?" Her voice trembled."Sienna?" She looked at me like she had spotted a spirit.I grabbed my hands. Every strength in my body got hard.Emily stepped back. Fear showed on her face,"H-how did you get in here?" she asked shakily."And how did you find a place?" Her breath got funny.I didn't say anything. There was just one thing I wanted to know all this time?I saw her with my eyes full of tears already. My voice wobbled when I spoke at last."Why?" I could barely get the word out.Emily frowne
Sienna's POV Silence filled the car again. This time it wasn't so oppressive.The two of us just stared at the villa standing not far away.A few seabirds flew across the afternoon sky. The setting sun cast a golden glow over the villa's courtyard.So peaceful. So normal. That's precisely what made it all seem even more absurd.How could someone live in such a peaceful place after destroying someone else's life?I clenched my fists in my lap. The anger that had subsided earlier slowly returned.Emily might be behind that wall. Maybe sitting back. Maybe gazing out at the ocean.While Noah was at the grave.The thought made my throat tighten again.I took a deep breath. Trying to calm myself before my emotions took over again.Then, from a distance, I saw the curtain of one of the villa's windows move slightly.
Sienna's POV Liam's car finally entered the village as the sun began to slowly set.I opened the car window slightly. The salty sea breeze immediately hit my face. The village was so peaceful.Wooden houses lined the narrow road, fishermen were tidying their nets, and the sound of the waves could be heard faintly in the distance.But my heart wasn't at ease. In fact, the closer we got, the harder it became to breathe.I gripped the hem of my shirt tightly."Liam.""Hm?"I looked out the window, trying to remember what Rachel had said."Rachel said the villa was a bit separated from the residents' houses."Liam nodded, keeping his eyes on the road."Any other features?"I nodded quickly."There were Japanese cherry trees."Liam glanced up briefly."Sakura?""Yes
Sienna's POV My chest immediately ached. The tears that had almost stopped welled up again. "I'm tired, Liam." I closed my eyes for a moment. "I'm really tired." Liam's hand gently stroked the back of my hand. The small touch made my throat tighten. "I know." His voice was low. "I feel it too." I shook my head slowly. My gaze fell back to our clasped hands. "No." I took a shaky breath. "I don't think anyone really knows." Liam glanced away for a moment. His frown deepened. "Even I don't know how to explain it all." I let out a humorless chuckle. "It feels like something's missing from my body." The road ahead began to change. The houses became sparse and the sea air slowly began to feel fresh. "Sometimes I wake up in the morning and for
Sienna's POV I stared out the restaurant window. The sky was starting to change color. Evening was slowly approaching. Since learning the truth about Emily, I wasn't just filled with anger. I was filled with determination. Emily may have taken Noah from me. Nothing could change that. Nothing could bring my son back. But I wouldn't let her disappear so easily. I wouldn't let Noah become just a number on an accident report. Because this wasn't an accident. This was a choice. And someone had to be held accountable for that choice. I looked back at Liam. "Shall we go now?" Liam took a deep breath. Then finally nodded. "Yes." I stood up slowly. My chest still ached. The wound was still there. Maybe it always would be. But this time I walked with purpose. We left the restaurant and
Sienna's POV Liam fell silent. He understood exactly what I meant.My gaze dropped to our intertwined hands as the restaurant buzzed around us. Everything felt distant beneath the weight of my fear and grief.When I looked at Liam, exhaustion and heartbreak were written all over his face. Memories of the nights I heard him crying for Noah came rushing back.Noah was everywhere in my thoughts, and for the first time in a long while, I let myself lean on Liam instead of pretending to be strong.When our eyes met, I saw the same pain and the same need for answers. That was when the words I'd been holding back finally escaped."Noah is gone." My voice broke.The words were barely audible. They hurt more than anything.Saying them out loud forced me to face reality again. A reality I still couldn't accept.Tears slipped down my cheeks. I couldn't stop them."Noah is gone." The words felt wrong every time I said them.They still felt unfamiliar
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
Sienna’s POV I thought again of Sarah’s words—that I had to find what I was looking for. At first, I’d laughed at the idea. I didn’t think I was searching for anything. But now I realized—maybe I was searching for a home. Not a building, but a place where I felt enough, where I felt accepted
Liam’s POV It’s been a week since Sienna left, but to me, time hasn’t moved. The days feel empty. The house remains the same, yet hollow. Too quiet. Too still. I haven’t touched the coffee sitting on the table since this morning. It’s grown cold. I sit in the living room without turning
Liam’s POV Noah’s small body trembled, tears rolling down his cheeks one by one. Suddenly, I felt completely hollow.This pain… it wasn’t just about Sienna. It was about Noah too. About the wounds I had now passed down to our son… because of my own blindness.My mother rushed to Noah, kneeling a
