LOGINSienna's POV
The little girl next to him joined in as well.“We will never be alone because we will have friends!”“You are absolutely right.”All of a sudden, one of the caretakers switched on some music. All the kids got cheerful and began to sing.Some of them even stood up and started to dance. And I also started to clap along while other kids went outside to play with the caretakers in the yard.Some were playing soccer games. Some were running after soap bubblesSienna's POV The little girl next to him joined in as well.“We will never be alone because we will have friends!”“You are absolutely right.”All of a sudden, one of the caretakers switched on some music. All the kids got cheerful and began to sing.Some of them even stood up and started to dance. And I also started to clap along while other kids went outside to play with the caretakers in the yard.Some were playing soccer games. Some were running after soap bubbles and some were drawing under the trees.I stood by the window and looked at them. I could not help smiling as I saw those cheerful scenes.This place was just an old building surrounded by tall grass until now. But now it was full of life.I put my hand to my heart and felt warmth flowing through my body.“Noah.”I whispered his name gently.“I am sure that you will smile, too, sweetheart, if you could see this.”I smiled to myself and turned my thoughts to Liam.
Sienna's POV That day felt somehow unusual. After all, I could not forget our talk in the morning, when he explained to me the misunderstandings, told me about his trust in me and how grateful he was for the new chance he got.It might not be perfect. But at least we tried, and that was all I needed to start from scratch."Sienna, would you like to read a story today?"I looked back. One of the caretakers stood before me with a couple of illustrated storybooks in her hands.I smiled. "Sure."Then it took place on the big carpet in the playroom. No sooner did the kids see the books, they rushed to me."Mom Sienna!""I want to take a seat in front!""I do, too!"I chuckled. "Slow down, please don't push each other."Several kids took places in a circle right away. I opened the chosen illustrated book."All right, let's read today about a little rabbit looking for his home."The kids went silent right away. Their eyes were focused on
Joshua's POVI carefully opened the apartment door. Just as I entered the apartment, I was hit by its usual stuffy, silent, and very simple atmosphere.It consisted of one room that was used as a bedroom and a smaller one that served as a living room. There was no sofa or any other piece of furniture in the latter except for an old table and a mattress, which I placed straight on the floor.I used it as my bed. I closed the door behind myself and released a heavy sigh. I felt completely exhausted after everything that happened during the day.I headed to Wilona's bedroom. Its door was a bit open so I pushed it a little.Her bedroom looked quite comfortable. It had a big bed with a soft mattress and a fluffy blanket.There was a wardrobe on one of the walls. When it was a little open, I saw expensive clothes, which she never wore when we were struggling.All kinds of cosmetics occupied the vanity table. There was perfume, jewelry, and various handbags lyin
Wilona's POV Joshua looked at me sadly. I took a deep breath before speaking with a voice that was beginning to tremble.“I’m doing all of this so we can have a better life. So we don’t have to keep counting our money just to afford food, worry about tuition, housing, or finding extra jobs every single day.”Joshua lowered his head. I knew he was uncomfortable, and I knew he didn’t like any of this.I also knew what our lives had been like before. We grew up without parents, with no one coming to take us home and no family willing to adopt us.We moved from one place to another, learning that if we wanted something, we had to get it ourselves. I was tired of living that way.“I don’t want to live like we used to,” I said quietly.Joshua raised his head. “I don’t want that either.”“Then don’t stand in my way.”“I’m just afraid we’ll get caught.”I laughed bitterly. “Caught? What do we have to lose if we get caught?”Joshua fell silent. I
Wilona's POV I stood at a relatively quiet bus stop, waiting for someone. A few minutes later, Joshua appeared from across the street and immediately walked toward me when he saw me.“Wilona.”I didn’t answer. I simply lifted the black bag I had been carrying.“Here.”Joshua frowned. “What is this?”“Money.”He took the bag with a confused expression. “Money from that man?”I nodded.“Why is it so heavy?” Joshua opened the zipper slightly, and his eyes immediately widened.“This,” He stared at the stacks of cash inside. “Don’t tell me this is five hundred million?”I scoffed. “Three hundred million.”“Three hundred?”“Yes.”Joshua looked surprised. “Why so little?”I glared at him. “Little?”“He said he could only withdraw three hundred million from three different banks.”I scoffed irritably. “That man is such a hypocrite.”Joshua closed the bag. “At least we got three hundred million.”I stared at him sha
Liam's POV "Because I want to watch what is happening there."Sienna smiled. "Okay."Our car kept moving along the road. But, wanting to enjoy the driving process without thinking about something else, I tried to make my morning as serene as possible.We didn't drive for a long time, and finally, we found ourselves in front of the foundation. Slowing down our car, I stopped just in front of the gates, and Sienna unfastened her seat belt and turned to me."You are going straight to the office?""Yeah." Nodding, I said, "There are some things I need to do there."Looking at Sienna, I said, "Try to return home early today."She smiled. "You do not need to hurry too much. If you have a lot of work, then just complete it."Nodding, I said, "Okay."Sienna opened the car door, but before getting out of the car, she faced me again. "Be careful on the road."I smiled. "You also."Getting out of the car, Sienna went to the entrance of
Emily's POV Sienna, who for some reason received more of Liam’s attention than she ever should have. Sienna, who suddenly made Liam protect her so fiercely. Sienna, who made the look in Liam’s eyes change.My blood boiled.I grabbed my bag and walked out of the restaurant, ignoring t
Sienna's POV I shook my head but followed him into his workspace walls covered in mood boards, visual cutouts, and sketches. The scent of coffee and printer ink filled the air.“Sit,” he said, pointing to the chair in front of his desk.I obeyed, my heart beating softly. There was a
Liam's POV I reached into my pocket and took out my phone. My fingers paused above Sienna’s chat. I wanted to call her, hear her voice, tell her I missed her, and make sure she was okay.But I knew if I called right now, my voice would sound like a mess.If Sienna heard that, she wo
Sienna's POV Liam chuckled. “Because you always get mad when I don’t take care of myself.”I smiled, my eyes warming.“I’m not mad,” I defended myself.“Oh my God, Sienna.” Liam laughed again. “You’re mad in the sweetest way.”I turned my face away, trying to hold back my gri
