Mag-log inLiam'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 comLiam'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 swallowed. “I mean, I will.”Why he hesitated, I don’t know, but I was not going to prolong the conversation anymore. Maybe, I wanted to give us a chance to try again or, perhaps, I was afraid of the truth breaking our tenuous harmony.So, on that day, when we got back home, Liam immediately made me sit down in the living room saying that he needed to do something for me and did not allow me to enter the kitchen until he was done.“What are you doing?” I asked, sitting on the sofa.“It’s a surprise.”“Well, just make sure you won’t set our apartment on fire.”“I can hear you, Sienna!”Laughing, I lay down on the sofa and after some time I started feeling the wonderful smell of the food spreading all around the room.Closing my eyes for one second, I felt the warmth filling up my heart. But when Liam walked out from the kitchen, he was wearing an apron and looked absolutely serious.Seeing how messy his hair was and
Sienna'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
Sienna's POV The streetlights were still glowing dimly when Liam’s car stopped in front of the house. I glanced into the back seat, Noah had already fallen asleep, his face peaceful, his breathing steady, his small lips slightly parted. I smiled faintly, a wave of relief and tenderness washi
Sienna’s POV When the coffee arrived, I pulled my laptop from my bag and turned it on. The screen opened again to the file I'd been staring at the night before without writing a word. I stared at the lit laptop screen in front of me. The blank lines of the document felt like a mirr
Sienna’s POV When dinner ended, I stared at the table, now filled with empty plates. It had been a long time since I'd felt such warmth. Something as simple as eating together was so meaningful.I smiled slightly, though I didn't dare look directly at Liam. What was certain was that
Sienna’s POV I woke up with a feeling that was hard to describe. My eyes slowly opened, staring at the ceiling of the room that had once witnessed so much pain as well as memories. The air inside felt different, colder, more distant. Even though the blanket wrapped tightly around me, my hear
