Hate You, Love You Chapter 51: Fragile Beginnings
The following days passed as the slow unfolding of a new season—timid, but hopeful. Something had shifted between Sienna and Grayson. The tension surrounding them no longer flared with tension only, but with a gentler voltage, one made up of stolen glances and seconds that lingered too long. Neither, though, could afford to speak of it out loud.It was Lily who kept them in check. Her infectious giggles filled the house with warmth that even softened Grayson's normally cold temperament. Sienna watched as he worked on a puzzle with Lily in the living room, his furrowed brow a picture of concern as Lily giggled at his failure."No, not that one, Daddy! That's the corner piece!" Lily scolded with a bright smile.Grayson arched an eyebrow, pretending to be offended. "Are you questioning my puzzle skills, young lady?"Sienna laughed from the couch, where she was folding Lily's clothes. "She has a point, you know. You're a CEO, not a puzzle mastermind."He looked up, his eyes locking with h
Hate You, Love You Chapter 50: The Morning After
The weak light of dawn filtered through the curtains, casting the room in a gentle glow. Sienna stirred, her eyes fluttering open to find herself cuddled up against Grayson's chest. The soft thump of his heartbeat was a comforting rhythm under her ear, and for a moment, she allowed herself to simply exist in this peaceful bubble. Grayson's arm around her pulled her closer as he whispered, "Good morning."Sienna rolled her head to look up at him, a smile playing on her lips. "Morning."They lay in silence for a while, what had occurred the previous night still lingering in the air between them. It had been a night of revelation, of walls crumbling and secrets shared. But with dawn came new uncertainty.Sienna pushed herself up onto one elbow, studying Grayson's face. "What now?"He leaned in to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "We do it one day at a time. No secrets, no pushing you away."She searched for any hint of uncertainty in his eyes but didn't see it. "Are you certain?"G
Hate You, Love You Chapter 49: Unsaid Truths
The sun filtered through the sheer curtains, illuminating the room with a warm glow. Sienna sat on the edge of her bed, a cup of coffee cradled in her hands, her thoughts a maelstrom of emotions. The last couple of days ran themselves over in her mind—Grayson's confession, their time together, and the tension that hung between them.She took a sharp breath, trying to settle the pounding of her heart. Personal and professional had grown blurred, and she didn't know how to navigate the altered dynamics between them. Grayson's moment of vulnerability was unexpected for his usual stoic nature, and she was hopeful and frightened.A soft knock at the door startled her out of her daydreaming. She opened it to find Lily standing before her, a look of wide-eyed curiosity."Good morning, Sienna! Can we have pancakes today?" asked Lily, bubbling with excitement.Sienna smiled, a relief from her self-absorption. "Yes, honey. Let's go make some."---In the kitchen, the scent of pancakes filled th
Hate You, Love You Chapter 48: Shadows Between Us
The house had never been so still.Sienna stood at the French doors of the library, looking out into the moonlit garden. The trees swayed gently, their shadows dancing on the stone path, and the far-off chirping of crickets filled the air. Inside, the air was still warm from the previous hours, but her skin tingled with a chill she couldn't shake off—though it wasn't from the weather.It was the aftermath.It was all different last night.She could still feel him—his hands, his breath on her neck, the way he'd said her name like it was a question and a confession. Grayson Pierce had shattered every wall he'd so carefully built between them in one night, only to reconstruct them again the next morning.God, what did I do?" she breathed to herself, tracing her fingers over her lips as though that would render him kiss her forgettable. Footsteps approached behind her. Her back stiffened. Grayson. She didn't need to turn because she knew it was him. She could feel him in the air—electr
Hate You, Love You Chapter 47: The Morning After
Sunlight crept into the room like a guilty secret, sliding through the openings in the heavy curtains and tracing gentle golden lines along the tangled sheets.Sienna stirred first.She didn't know where she was for a moment. The pillow beneath her cheek was unfamiliar—rich, silk-soft. The subtle fragrance surrounding her wasn't her own. Cedarwood. Clean linen. Him.Then she felt the warmth of his body behind her. A strong arm was draped casually over her waist, fingers relaxed against the curve of her hip. His steady breathing stirred the loose strands of her hair.Her eyes flew open.Grayson Pierce.Her boss.The man who'd kept her at arm's length for weeks, who'd wielded emotional distance like a weapon, had made love to her last night. No—not made love. Had taken her. Claimed her.And she'd let him.No, worse. She'd wanted it.Oh God, had she wanted it.She shifted slowly, her weight barely moving, not wishing to disturb him, needing to grant herself a few precious seconds to unra
Hate You, Love You Chapter 46 — *Breaking Point*
The house was too quiet.Sienna paced the penthouse corridors of Grayson Pierce like a ghost haunted by visions of stolen glances, of burning words flung like sparks that never quite caught fire. but always hung on the brink of.Since their last fight — the bitter one filled with truths they neither of them was ready to hear — the air between them had been charged. Electric. Destructive.And tonight. it was oppressive.Lily slept. The lights were dimmed. The city shone in the far distance below them.Sienna stood in the kitchen, absently twisting a glass of water between her hands. She could feel him before she saw him — Grayson’s presence always arrived first. Heavy. Magnetic.“I thought you’d gone to bed,” his low voice rumbled behind her.Sienna’s spine stiffened — not because of fear, but because of the ache in her chest she was trying so hard to smother."I couldn't sleep," she whispered, not turning around.Silence hung between them — tense, humming.Then footsteps.Intentional.
