Mag-log inLife is not full of roses. Sometimes the roses you think you see are never really roses at all. They are thorns hidden between petals. Sienna thought she found love with Dominic Castellano, the second most powerful billionaire in New York City. For three years, she agreed to be his secret girlfriend, believing his empty promises that one day he would make her public. But the universe had other plans. She became a laughing stock when he married a wealthy heiress, leaving her broken and humiliated. Then Sebastian Ashford, Dominic's greatest rival, offered her a proposition: "What if I told you that on the night your parents were murdered, I was there? Would you be my wife for one year and burn Dominic's world to the ground with everyone related to him?" Sienna wanted revenge. She found the means to an end. With nothing left to lose, she agreed to destroy the man who had wasted her time, her years, and her heart. But she should not have fallen in love with this devil of a man who came with a proposition filled with secrets she would never truly know. As secrets unfold and truths emerge, Sienna discovers that the man she gradually fell in love with might actually be behind everything that happened to her. In the end, she must decide if love is worthy of all the chaos, or if some situations demand a different choice entirely.
view moreSienna's POVWe walked into the bustling building. As soon as they sensed his presence, heads were turning. Bowing. Eyes on us. Especially on me. Eyes wondering who was this new lady walking side by side with their boss. They didn't know yet. I was about to become their CEO.I saw the assistant coming toward us in a black corporate suit with two men in tow. She moved with the precision of someone who had been doing this for years. Everything about her screamed efficiency."Good morning, Mr. Sebastian," she greeted with a slight bow."The board is ready?" he asked, his voice suddenly serious. Not the warm, teasing voice I had recognized two minutes ago in the car. I wondered how many sides this man had. Warm in one minute. Cold and serious in a few seconds. Like flipping a switch."Yes, sir. They are waiting in the conference room," she replied.Her eyes flipped to me, and she bowed lightly."Hello, Mrs. Sienna," she greeted with a knowing smile.She already knows? I thought, my pulse
Sienna's POVThe day I was not expecting to arrive so quickly had come. I stood in front of the mirror, dressed in a powerful dress. It was a tailored navy blue suit with a crisp white silk blouse underneath. The jacket hugged my waist perfectly, showing off the curves I had hidden away for so long. The skirt fell just below the knee. Everything about it screamed confidence. Everything about it screamed power. This was a dress for someone becoming a CEO.I moved my hair to the other side, exposing my neck adorned with a necklace Sebastian had bought yesterday. He had called it one of the benefits of this marriage. I did not read any deeper meaning into it. What I had acquired in this agreement were benefits. Nothing more. Nothing less.Dominic and his cohorts had no idea what was about to happen today. I bet the news is going to be a shock to the whole world. The girl he had discarded. The girl he had thrown in a pool. The girl he had used and abused. That girl was about to become the
Sienna's POV"Honey, don't start in her presence," Mrs. Linda said, her voice carrying a warning."What? Sebastian is trying to prevent a simple greeting," his father replied, his tone sharp.Amidst the affection, there was still some hidden grudge within this family. I could feel it. The tension. The unspoken words. The anger simmering just below the surface."Dad?" Sophia yelled, frustration written all over her face.Victor raised his hands as he walked over to his seat beside his wife. I turned at Sebastian. He wasn't saying anything, and I wondered what the silence meant. What was he thinking? What was he protecting?"I'm sorry, sir, for the misunderstanding," I started to say."Can we get into what we came here for? I just came here to make you know my wife and not intimidate her," Sebastian suddenly said. His voice was cold and serious. There was a brief silence. I was getting very uncomfortable with the interaction. The way his father looked at me. The way his mother kept stud
Sebastian's POVI was amused by where that boldness was coming from."And why do you want me to put you in that position?" I teased, leaning back slightly to study her reaction.She was serious. Dead serious."An idea just popped into my head," she started to explain.I chuckled, cutting her words short. She tilted her head, an eyebrow raised at my interruption."I know this request is out of nowhere, and I shouldn't be asking," she continued, her voice uncertain."Deal," I said simply.She froze and leaned back, surprise clearly written all over her face."That was quite fast. I mean, I was expecting you to disagree with me," she said."Do you want me to withdraw my answer back?" I asked, knowing full well what her response would be."No, no," she said quickly.There was a brief silence between us. I could see her mind working, trying to understand my quick acceptance. But she didn't need to understand. Not yet."These are things to do to make this marriage look real. And since you p
Sienna's POVI folded my hands on my hips, wondering at the audacity of this man. The way he sat there like he knew everything about me. Like he had studied my life and found it entertaining."Well I know many things," Sebastian said, standing up from his desk. "Why do you think he never publicized
Sienna's POVThe softness of the bed was different. I opened my eyes gently, remembering where I was. My old bed had been ironed. Hard. Cold. Something that matched the life I had been living. Waking up in luxury reminded me of my new reality. A reality I still wasn't quite sure was real.I sat up,
