Mag-log inLiam’s POV
I had just opened the front door when the sound of small footsteps came running toward me. “Daddy!” Noah shouted, his face bright with joy. He immediately hugged my leg tightly, as if afraid I might leave again. I bent down, ruffling his slightly messy hair. “Hey, Noah,” I greeted with a smile. “How are you?”The moment his small body clung to me, a warmth broke through the hard walls I usually kept around myself. That hug was simple, but it melted away the exhauSienna's POV "Liliana, please help me!"The sentence came out softer than I wanted."I need a person who can assist me to find the truth. I don’t want to blame Wilona without proof, but I also can’t let her keep threatening Liam. I want to know what to do, what proof we should gather, and how to shield Liam without making an error that will truly hurt us."Liliana was quiet for a bit before she spoke."Sienna, first of all, calm yourself. I get you’re in a hard spot. I also see why you think Liam could have been stuck. But we must be careful, suspicion by itself isn’t enough to show that someone did a crime.""I understand.""We must set up a simple list of happenings. All notes, cash sending records, chat sounds got by law, and proof of dangers from Wilona should be kept. Don't remove anything and don't try to anger her into doing something that might harm you."I nodded even thou
Sienna's POV "Right. She threatened to tell everything if Liam didn't obey her request.""Has Liam ever reported this to the police or asked for help from a lawyer before?""No. He hid it from me and tried to solve it himself."I closed my eyes for a moment, remembering Liam's face when he confessed everything to me."He kept this problem for too long, Liliana. He kept facing that threat alone until finally his health was disturbed. Now he has to undergo treatment, and I don't want this problem to continue to burden his mind."My voice began to tremble."I am indeed angry because he was not honest with me. I also cannot be sure what really happened that night. However, I feel Wilona deliberately took advantage of Liam's situation. There is something odd, and I don't want that woman to continue to hurt my husband."I wiped my face, trying to control my emotions."Lilia
Sienna's POV I made sure Liam was really asleep after taking the medicine given by the doctor. The doctor said that he needed enough rest so that his treatment process would go well, so I tried not to disturb him.I sat by the side of the bed for a few minutes, watching my husband's face which now looked more calm. His hand was placed on top of the blanket, while his breathing sounded regular. Occasionally, I fixed the blanket covering his body, making sure he didn't feel cold."Sleep peacefully, Liam," I whispered softly. "I will take care of everything."Night had enveloped Hawaii. From the window of the hospital room, I could see the lights of buildings glittering in the distance. The night air felt cool, and the wind blew gently, carrying a faint scent of the sea from afar.I stepped toward the small balcony connected to Liam's hospital room. After closing the glass door behind me, I stood near the balcony railing, let
Sienna's POV "I know it's a bad time to ask. It's just when I was in that ambulance yesterday, all I could think about was you. And Noah. And how I almost left you with this mess alone. And I thought, I want more life with you. Not less."I leaned forward and kissed his forehead, his nose, his cheek."I want more life with you too," I whispered. "But let's get you healthy first. Let's fix this mess first. One battle at a time, okay?""One battle at a time," he repeated, nodding. "Okay."***That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. The Hawaiian sunlight began to slip through the gap in the curtains of Liam's hospital room, illuminating the room that had been our place since yesterday. After making sure my husband was still sleeping comfortably, I got up from the sofa and walked closer to his bed.Liam looked better than yesterday. His face was still a little pale, but his breathing seemed mor
Sienna's POV Liam held my hand tighter."Thank you for still wanting to believe in me. I know I've disappointed you. I don't know how to repay all of this."I shook my head."I don't need you to repay me. I just want you to be honest with me from now on. Whatever we find later, we have to face it openly."Liam nodded again, then pulled my hand and kissed the back of it gently."I promise I will try to be more open. I won't hide anything from you anymore."I smiled faintly, even though my heart was still filled with worry.I knew trust that was wounded would not recover in just one night. I also couldn't erase the pain from the secret he had kept all this time. However, I didn't want to let fear and Wilona's threats determine how our marriage would end.I hugged Liam carefully again. This time, he rested his head on my shoulder, as if he could finally release the burden that had been weighing on hi
Sienna's POV "I'm not staring at you like you're gross," I said fast, cleaning his tears. "I'm looking at you like you're my man who is sad. Who has been toting this by himself for months."I got up in a place to sleep I can't recall going into, with a lady weeping and saying I harmed her. To not recall anything but still feel bad...I held his face. "If a person put stuff in your drink, then you didn't hurt anybody, Liam. You were the one who got hurt.""You think I was drugged?""I spoke to Wilona yesterday," I said. "That is why I was late."His eyes widened. "You talked to her?""I had to hear it from her. And Liam, there were gaps all over. She said you were at the bar till 1 AM drinking a lot. But the check-in slip she showed me was at 11:17 PM. She said you were noisy and rough, but the bartender I called said you went out before 11 and you could hardly walk, that a lady was helping you." Not you pulling her.Liam listened, mouth slightly open."And she said she had a child th
Sienna's POV The way Liam was looking at me made me want to keep my eye on him and not look away. Then his fingers, having just brushed my cheek, slowly traced my jawline with an indifferent love I never expected to reciprocate from him again. The touch was simple, but it felt like unlocking
Liam's POV I remained rigid. Not a single part of me desired to embrace or console her like I once did. Instead I experienced a sense of disconnection as though she belonged to a past existence I had moved on from. Emily clutched the cuff of my shirt with her hand a
Sienna's POV The lounge had a serene atmosphere. The rain outside had eased, pattering softly against the window. The scent of damp soil blended with the cozy ambiance of the room, generating a feeling that oddly compelled me to weep not out of sorrow.Simply as it seemed so wh
Sienna's POV We had just completed packing all the food into the picnic bag when the wind unexpectedly gusted colder than it had been. I glanced up at the heavens ominous clouds loomed directly over the park, racing by as if drawing a curtain."Seems like it’s going to rain," I
