SIENNA

By nightfall, the hospital had shed its tenderness.

Daylight pretended at mercy, soft voices, careful footsteps, the illusion that healing was the only work being done here. Night told the truth. Night exposed urgency. Consequence. Decisions that could not be undone.

I signed the final discharge forms with a steady hand, though every signature felt like a vow I hadn’t spoken aloud. Aria wouldn’t be moved yet—not across borders, not into the shadows I was about to stir—but she was stable.

  • Goodbye, Mr. Wrong: The Heiress Returns   Breaking Message

    Sienna’s POVThe call came when I least expected it.I was in the middle of reviewing numbers on my tablet, trying to distract myself from everything falling apart around me, when my phone began to ring.Unknown number.I almost ignored it.Almost.Something in my chest tightened. I answered.“Hello?”There was a pause. Then a voice I had not heard in months.“Alessia.”My fingers froze.“Mom?”Her breathing was uneven. Not dramatic. Not fake. Just… tired.“Yes. It’s me.”Silence stretched between us like a bridge neither of us wanted to cross.“You changed your number,” I said quietly.“You blocked the old one.”That was true.I swallowed. “Why are you calling?”Another pause.Then she said it.“Your father is sick.”I leaned back in my chair, staring at the ceiling.“You’ve said that before.”Last year, it had been “serious.” The year before that, “very serious.” Each time, I rushed home. Each time, I found him perfectly fine — just angry, just controlling, just disappointed in me.

  • Goodbye, Mr. Wrong: The Heiress Returns   Closer To The Aim

    Sienna’s POVThe video file blinked ominously on the main monitor, the red icon screaming a warning I couldn’t ignore. My pulse hit a rapid rhythm, but I forced myself to breathe, to steady my shaking hands. Every instinct screamed danger—but instinct alone wasn’t enough. Not now. Not ever.Desmond leaned closer, eyes narrowing at the monitor. “Play it,” he said, voice calm, steady. “We need to know exactly what we’re dealing with.”I hesitated for a fraction of a second, then clicked. The screen flickered, and there it was—a recording from inside the penthouse, shot from a hidden angle. The camera captured movements, schedules, even conversations Desmond and I had had over the past week. Every detail of our personal routines, our strategies, our moments together… all laid bare.“God…” I whispered, my chest tightening. “He… he’s inside everything. Our schedules, our communications, even our private conversations.”Desmond’s jaw clenched. “This wasn’t just a breach. This is surveillanc

  • Goodbye, Mr. Wrong: The Heiress Returns   Long Awaited

    Sienna’s POVThe red alert on the main console pulsed like a heartbeat, a warning I couldn’t ignore. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, every nerve taut, every sense on edge. Desmond’s hand on mine was steady, grounding, but even his calm couldn’t erase the weight pressing down on my shoulders.“Show me the breach,” I demanded, my voice sharp.Desmond’s eyes scanned lines of code faster than I could comprehend. “It’s subtle… precise. Someone inside our network gave him access. Not random—deliberate. And he’s using it to manipulate our operations in real time.”My stomach twisted. “Someone we trust?”His jaw tightened. “I don’t know yet. But whoever it is… they know us intimately. They know our patterns, our routines, our counters. This isn’t just an attack. It’s personal.”I swallowed, a tight knot forming in my chest. Gabriel had always been smart, calculating—but this? This was more than strategy. He was invading our personal space, probing for weaknesses where he knew we were mo

  • Goodbye, Mr. Wrong: The Heiress Returns   Mistaken Identity

    Sienna’s POVThe penthouse had transformed into a war room, every monitor, every alert, every thread of incoming data screaming with activity. Even the sunlight pouring through the windows couldn’t penetrate the tension that had settled over us like a second skin.I sank into the chair beside Desmond, letting my hands rest lightly on the edge of the console. My pulse was racing, but I forced myself to steady it, to focus. Fear would only make us vulnerable—and right now, vulnerability could cost everything we had fought for.“Phase Omega is escalating,” I murmured, eyes scanning the monitors. Every leak, every disruption, every attempt to destabilize us was deliberate, personal, and designed to provoke mistakes. Gabriel wasn’t just testing our strategy anymore—he was testing us.Desmond didn’t look up. “He’s reacting emotionally. That’s his weakness. We anticipated Phase Omega, and we’re ready.”I exhaled slowly, letting his calm confidence ground me. “But this… this is different. He’

  • Goodbye, Mr. Wrong: The Heiress Returns   Phase Omega

    Sienna’s POVThe penthouse felt smaller than usual, the sunlight spilling across the floor doing nothing to ease the tension in the air. The monitors blinked incessantly, alerts piling up faster than I could process. Gabriel had gone all in—Phase Omega was live, and the signs were unmistakable.I sank into the chair beside Desmond, hands resting on the edge of the console. My pulse raced, but I forced myself to breathe, to focus. Fear would only make us vulnerable, and vulnerability now could cost everything.“He’s escalating faster than I expected,” I murmured, eyes scanning the flood of incoming data. Every leak, every disruption, every attempt to destabilize us—it was deliberate, personal, and designed to provoke mistakes.Desmond didn’t look up. “He’s reacting emotionally. That’s his weakness. We anticipated Phase Omega, and we’re ready.”I exhaled slowly, letting his confidence steady me. “But this is different. He’s not just testing our strategy now… he’s testing us.”“Yes,” Des

  • Goodbye, Mr. Wrong: The Heiress Returns   Not Longer Me

    Gabriel’s POVThe office felt smaller than usual, suffocating under the weight of failure. Reports kept coming in, each one a hammer against my pride, each alert another reminder that Desmond and Sienna weren’t just executing a plan—they were controlling the battlefield. And I, Gabriel Vale, was reacting.I pace the room, mind racing. Every advisor I trusted, every channel I controlled, every contingency I relied on—they were slipping through my fingers like sand. I can feel it. My empire isn’t crumbling yet, but the cracks are deep, and the stress lines are forming faster than I can patch them.“Sir?” My assistant’s voice trembles slightly. “Phase Delta… it’s—”I cut her off, gripping the edge of my desk. “I know what it is. I see it. And I will not fail.”Her eyes widen. “Sir… they’re coordinated. They know our patterns. Every reaction, every strategy, every move you plan… they’re predicting it.”I inhale sharply, fury and frustration coiling in my chest. “Then we break the pattern.
