Chapter 84Sienna's POV“What!” I screamed, staring at Lian intensely, my heart pounding hard against my chest.Lian pulled my hand closer and we moved closer to the wall. My fingers felt cold in his grip, even though my skin was starting to sweat.“What do you mean you're at the rooftop? That means... I'm the person, right?” I asked again, my voice trembling as my body stiffened.“I was on the rooftop that day. Do you remember who was following you?” he asked, and I nodded slowly, my throat tightening.The reason why I bumped into the person I thought I pushed... It was because someone was chasing me.“Good. Jake was the one walking behind you, and he wasn't chasing you—he was chasing me. You were just unfortunate to be there at that time,” he said, his voice low but steady. “I saw him pushing the boy off the cliff, and he saw me. That’s why he came after me. And when I looked back to check if he was close, I didn’t see you coming from behind, and you bumped into me. I almost fell, b
Chapter 83Sienna's POVI packed my stuffs in my bag, leaving the center room, when something fell from my desk. I bent down and picked it up.“A paper?” I muttered, confused, staring at the envelope in my hand.I opened it, and saw a picture inside. The moment I turned the image to myself, I froze.It was the image of the boy that was pushed off the cliff.The same exact image of him being in his pool of blood that was displayed on the screen three years ago.My chest started rising and falling fast, the thud loud in my ears.No… what’s happening again?Why is Jake acting like this again? I thought I gave him what he wanted? I was still staring at the picture, trying to process everything, when someone suddenly snatched it from my hand. I jumped, my heart racing.“What are you checking that’s making you look so horrified?” a voice asked.I turned my head slowly and saw Lian.His gaze slowly dropped to the image.No… no no, this shouldn't be happening.I remembered what Juliet told me
CHAPTER 82SIENNA'S POVI settled down on my seat, trying to arrange myself. The love I received from others was so appealing.Noah had to be the one to tell me about my mum. He knew everything that had happened between me and his dad. It wasn’t easy for me to come here, but eventually, she agreed.She told me I shouldn’t have anything to do with Lorenzo.Can I really do that?The look on him earlier... he looked like he hadn't been sleeping for days. Is he sick?That’s the first time I’ve seen him like that. I wanted to rush to him, to confront him, to ask why he didn’t even bother to ask how I was feeling.How could he just abandon me?I moved my hands to my belly and rubbed it slightly, remembering the child. What if I wasn’t shot?Would I have kept the pregnancy and become a mum?“Sienna?” I heard Lina’s voice beside me, jolting me out of my thoughts.“Are you really good now?” she asked, moving her chair closer to me.“I’m good… it’s just that my stomach is still slightly... you k
Chapter 81Lorenzo’s POV“What’s the issue?” I asked Mr. Williams standing in front of me.“I would like to go off for some days. I have some stuff I need to do,” he said, and I raised my head from the screen.Where’s he going? This is the first time he’s asking for time off.“Hmm.” I nodded. He bowed and left, and I watched him till he was gone.I faced the laptop again, trying to focus on my work.The door opened again, but I kept my head down. I already knew whose footsteps it was.“What is it?” I asked when I didn’t hear a word from her.“What’s it?” Regina asked back, and I finally raised my head from the screen, looking at her.“What do you want? Can’t you see I’m trying to focus?” I asked her, removing the glasses from my face.“Oh… Because you’re busy, I shouldn’t say a word again? Do you know ever since that your little toy hasn’t been here, you’ve been acting somehow,” she spat, and I sighed.“First of all, her name is Sienna. And why do I have to act good to you? We agreed
Chapter 80Sienna's POV“Where is she?” I muttered when I couldn't see the woman again. A lot has been happening lately... or am I just being too sensitive?“Who? Are you looking for someone?” Noah asked, and I turned to him.“Huh? It's nothing. Seems I've been too sensitive lately,” I said, sitting back down.“Oh, okay. So you're in, right?” he said, his face lighting up.I could really tell he loved his dad so much. This is what he wants... At least, I should do it for him, right? Just for him.I'm done lusting over Lorenzo. I just want to follow Noah's plan—nothing more.Are you sure you don't want Lorenzo too? A tiny voice said in my head, and I shut it up immediately.“What do we need to do?” I asked, and he grinned. I wondered what was going on in his head.“Let’s leave here first,” he said, dragging me up.“Are you not hungry? Your food wasn’t even served,” I said, and he only giggled. Sometimes, he’s girlish like that, then manly in the next second. I wondered how he still loo
Chapter 79Sienna’s POV“Who slept with who?” Her voice came from the door.Something cracked in my head. My mum stood there, looking like she just heard the most unbelievable thing in her life.“Mu…m,” I stammered, something catching in my throat.“I just asked a question! Who slept with who?” she shouted again, her eyes burning into mine like she expected something else from me.“I…”“It’s… not what you thi—” Juliet tried to say, but my mum shot her a glare that shut her up immediately.“I asked her, not you,” she snapped, turning her glare back to me.“If I heard that correctly… you did what? Or am I hearing things?” she said.Tears fell from my eyes. Juliet was trembling beside me, and honestly, I was too.I had no more excuses. Now that my mum knew, what would happen next?It wouldn't be normal if she didn’t lose it. I wasn’t prepared for this, but somehow, I also felt like it was time. Her knowing… maybe it was for the best.“You slept with your husband’s father, Sienna?” she as
