LIES BEFORE VOWS Chapter 54 – Real Beginning
The morning light slipped through the curtains of Sienna’s small apartment, bathing the room in a soft, golden glow. For the first time in what felt like forever, she woke with a smile tugging at her lips. She blinked slowly, adjusting to the light, then turned her head to see Damon lying beside her on the couch where they had drifted off together. His arm was still wrapped protectively around her, his breathing deep and steady. For a moment, she just watched him at peace, vulnerable in a way she rarely saw. He looked younger, softer, stripped of the weight of the world. A part of her wanted to stay there forever, cocooned in that quiet. But life was waiting. Sienna gently slipped from under his arm, padded to the kitchen, and put on a pot of coffee. The smell soon filled the apartment, and before long Damon stirred awake, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand. “Good morning,” he mumbled, his voice rough from sleep. She chuckled. “Morning. I made coffee.” He sat up,
LIES BEFORE VOWS Chapter 53 – The Turning Point
The morning sun peeked through the blinds of Sienna’s little apartment, painting the walls with soft golden stripes. She stirred awake slowly, blinking against the light, her body still heavy with the memories of the past days. For the first time in weeks, she didn’t feel the crushing weight of anger and betrayal pressing on her chest. Instead, there was a strange calm—a quiet she couldn’t quite name. Sienna dragged herself out of bed, letting her bare feet sink into the warm rug as she padded toward the bathroom. She washed her face, staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes no longer looked as sharp, as guarded as they once did; they looked softer, conflicted, but softer nonetheless. “I never wanted this…” she whispered to herself, tracing her cheek with her fingers. “I never wanted to fall for him.” But she had. Against her better judgment, against the walls she built brick by brick, Damon had slipped through the cracks. He had hurt her, yes, but he had also shown her s
LIES BEFORE VOWS Chapter 52 – Walls Remain
The apartment was silent except for the faint hum of the refrigerator and the muffled city noise that seeped in through the window. Damon sat across from Sienna, his body tense, his eyes never leaving her. He had already poured everything out his truth, his regrets, his mistakes but the real battle wasn’t what he said. It was whether her heart would accept it. For nearly an hour, they talked. Damon’s voice carried a raw honesty that Sienna had never seen in him before. He told her about the moments he stayed awake at night thinking of her, about the weight of guilt that had followed him like a shadow, and about how much he hated himself for the chaos he had brought into her life. Sienna sat still, her hands folded tightly in her lap. She listened, really listened, and she wanted to forgive him. Part of her heart longed to drop her defenses and lean into the man in front of her. But another part, the wounded part, held back. Every betrayal, every heartbreak, every sleepless night re
LIES BEFORE VOWS Chapter 51 – The Apology
Damon stood frozen on the sidewalk, his breath caught in his chest as he watched her. Sienna, with her basket full of groceries, Jordan tugging at her arm and pointing at some candy in the store window it was such an ordinary moment, yet for Damon it felt extraordinary. This was what he had been searching for, what he had driven miles for, what he had sacrificed everything for.His heart pounded as he crossed the street. His boots crunched against the pavement, each step heavier than the last, as if the universe itself was holding him back. When Sienna finally looked up and saw him, the color drained from her face.“Damon?” she whispered, stunned, her grip tightening on Jordan’s shoulder.Jordan’s eyes widened. “What are you doing here?”But before Damon could even respond, Sienna’s voice rose, sharp and full of fire.“No. No, you can’t be here. Leave us alone, Damon. Haven’t you done enough?”Her words pierced him deeper than any blade. He stopped just a few feet away, his hands slig
LIES BEFORE VOWS Chapter 50 – Finding Her
The day after learning that Sienna had left, Damon couldn’t sleep. He tossed and turned in his king-sized bed, staring at the ceiling while the city lights outside mocked his restlessness. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw her face the way she used to smile shyly, the hurt in her eyes the last time they spoke, the echo of her laughter in the halls of his memory.He replayed the neighbor’s words again and again: “She and her brother left early this morning… New York.”It should have been simple pack a bag, book a flight, and go after her. But Damon wasn’t a man who did things simply anymore. His life had always been tied to appearances, wealth, and luxury. To walk into New York with the same identity, the same baggage of being “Damon Caldwell, heir of Caldwell Holdings,” would only bring him back into the cage he had just escaped. If he was going after Sienna, he had to strip it all away start over, the way she had.For the next week, Damon thought of nothing else. He hardly ate, b
LIES BEFORE VOWS Chapter 49 – The Search Begins
The first light of dawn spilled into Damon’s room, bathing everything in a soft golden glow. He opened his eyes slowly, the silence of the penthouse strangely loud around him. For the first time in years, he didn’t have a meeting scheduled, no assistant buzzing his phone with reminders, no documents stacked on his desk waiting to be signed before breakfast. The resignation still felt unreal.For a long moment, Damon lay still, staring at the ceiling. He thought of his mother’s voice over the phone the night before, trembling as she begged him to reconsider. He thought of his father, Vincent, whose words cut sharp and cold: “Leaving the company means leaving everything behind.” But Damon had already left everything behind the sleepless nights, the corporate suffocation, the endless hunger for power that was never his to begin with. What mattered now wasn’t Caldwell Holdings. It was her.Dragging himself out of bed, he walked to the window and pulled the curtains wide. The city looked d
