"Dad?" The man uttered in a deep voice, he could feel the warmth of her body as she squeezed him in a tight hug.

Keeping her eyes closed, Sienna buried her face in his shoulder and slowly let her guard down. There were times when she thought she was cured but surprisingly, her body reacted as soon as the electricity was gone.

Suddenly as the lights were turned on, the man coughed a little. Upon hearing him, she was pulled back to reality. Until now she was too scared to even feel what was going around her. Opening her eyes as she saw the lights on, she heaved a sigh.

"You can let go of me now."

Taken aback as she turned her head to the right, her heart skipped a beat. Her sea green eyes adored his sapphire blue ones before admiring his face. From his dark black hair to his kissable lips, everything looked so perfect. It was not that she never saw a handsome man before but he could easily top them all without a battle... A perfect example of how a person looks like when God takes time to create him.

'He has the most innocent face I have ever seen with such facial features, how extraordinarily handsome!'

Sienna was at a loss for words, with their noses touching and their lips barely apart from each other made it worse for her. 

"Miss." As he called her out, she quickly moved away from him but then she lost balance and suddenly he grabbed her by the waist. This time, her hands wrapped around his neck and her forehead hit against his. 

Sienna touched her forehead and looked away from him, her face turned tomatoes in embarrassment. Pulling herself together, she started explaining, "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that. I couldn't keep the balance and... Uhmm, I didn't see you earlier. That's why it... "

The man cleared his throat and voiced, "I saw the lights going off, when I came downstairs I saw you were calling for help. So I came."

"Oh, thank you so much." She uttered, getting down the sofa.

"You're welcome." As he took a look at his wristwatch, she stole a gaze at him. 'I never met him before so I'm sure that we are strangers. Maria said her boss saved me, can he be...'

"How are you feeling now?" 

"I am feeling better, thank you."

"It's late, take rest." Saying so, as he turned to leave she suddenly asked curiously, "Wait, Mr."

"Mr. Pierce." He shot, his voice calm and his face cold.

Sienna took a few steps toward him, though she saw from closer earlier now he looked somewhat untouchable.

"Mr. Pierce, was it... you who saved me?"

"Yes."

"Thank you."

Sienna looked down, her heart suddenly aching. Those memories from that night was still so vivid, she couldn't forget how a supposed happy day turned into the worst day of her life. 

Seeing him walk away, she looked at the tv. The person she loved all those years seemed so happy with another woman in the tv, the more she saw him smile and laugh with the other woman the more her heart ached.

Sienna touched her belly and looked at the tv, "It's been one month since I disappeared, you must be very happy to lose me. Well... We lose people only if we cherish them, but you didn't even cherish me... Lovell Bronze, I lost everything because of you. You took everything away from me, if I'm given another chance I will ruin your life and give you everything back. I swear."

* The Next Morning *

"Good morning, Miss."

"Good morning."

Upon seeing her, the maids greeted her. Though she was not in a good mood these days, spending time here didn't make her feel bad and helped her not think too much about the past.

'He is already here.' Upon noticing him, as she turned around to take her leave he walked towards her, "It's breakfast time."

"Yes." Nodding her head, she followed after him. Sienna gazed at his shoe and then at his shirt while he headed toward the breakfast table. 

'Since i woke up, I didn't see anyone apart from Butler Loid, the maids, other workers here and Mr. Pierce. He should be a bit older than me if I'm guessing it right. He must be rich since he's living in such a place, he is handsome too so I'm sure he doesn't lack women. Isn't he married? I don't see his wife. Does he live alone in this mansion?'

On the breakfast table, there were a lot of delicacies. While she kept staring at them, he continued eating.

"If you want to eat something else, you can tell the chefs."

"Huh? No, it's not... like that."

"Is something bothering you?"

"Well... " Biting her lips, Sienna held firmly onto the spoon and then she asked in a low voice of tone, "Mr. Pierce, do you have a wife?"
