Chapter 4

Penulis: Unsweetened Cream
"You bought yourself a diamond ring just to force me to marry you? Are you really that desperate to get married, Sienna?"

I tried to speak, to explain. But I couldn't get a word in as Ian didn't care to listen.

"Eva slit her wrists because of this. Come to the hospital and apologize now!"

Before I could respond, the line was cut off. I stood frozen, my heart pounding with disbelief and rage.

I was still pissed off when my phone rang again seconds later. Without looking at the screen, I answered with fury rising in my throat.

"Come to the hospital right now and apologize to Eva." Sebastian's voice cut through, tight with barely contained anger. "If you don't, not only will my brother refuse to marry you, but I will never want you again either."

I questioned, "Why do I have to choose between the two of you? Have either of you ever stopped to think that I might be marrying someone else?"

My grip on the phone tightened until my fingertips turned white, but my tone remained icy cal

    Ian's frown was almost imperceptible, but a flicker of disgust shot through his eyes.The ambulance soon arrived and took Eva away. However, neither Ian nor Sebastian followed. Instead, they walked toward me with bowed heads."I'm sorry, Sienna. After all these years… I owe you more than I can say.""Sienna, please consider me again."Then, they took out the ruby necklace they had just won at the auction."We don't have much left to make it up to you. We saw you liked this necklace, so we bought it to give to you."I took a step back, keeping my voice polite but cold. "Sirs, we're not associated in any way. It's inappropriate for me to accept such an expensive gift from you." Each word struck like a blade, draining all the color from their faces."Sienna, do we have to be so distant?""We should've always been like this. I was your employer's daughter while you were my driver," I reminded Ian. Ian was silent for a long time. His eyes glistened as if tears were forming, and

    The bid had skyrocketed to five million dollars when that necklace was really only worth one million dollars.I stopped Jasper just as he was about to raise his hand again.Five million dollars. That was likely everything the Blake brothers had in liquid assets.Jasper leaned in, his lips brushing against my ear as he said in a teasing voice, "What's the matter? You can't bear to see them lose this bidding war?"I rolled my eyes. "That necklace is worth only one million dollars. Are you going to pay five times that price? Is it fun to watch your money go down the drain?"His voice turned jealous. "It's just because you don't want your ex-boyfriend to keep bidding."I was speechless. I had not expected the usually stern Jasper to get so easily jealous.Still, I took the time to explain patiently, "He only has about five and a half million dollars of liquid assets. If you bid again and it goes past six, he won't be able to follow. Then, you'll be stuck paying six million dollars.

    "While you were off traveling with Eva…"Ian stared at the dazzling diamond ring on my finger. For a moment, something in his eyes cracked. It slowly collapsed like a fault line breaking apart.In the corner, Sebastian's gaze locked on me like a venomous snake—cold, sharp.However, I didn't care about their feelings. I turned and walked away without hesitation."Sienna, did you marry someone else? Was I not good enough? Why… Why would you give up on my brother and still not choose me? I've already apologized! Why can't you forgive me?"I stared at Sebastian for a long time.I remembered the first time we met. Sebastian had just been a college kid who would call out my name constantly. Sebastian used to commute four hours a day just to come to our house and cook for Ian and me because we were busy with work."Sienna, you're too skinny. Let me make chicken noodle soup for you tonight, okay?"Back then, I treated him like my brother. When did everything change? Was it when the way

    A few days later, I received a call from my former colleague at Ian's company. She called me in tears, telling me she had accidentally lost the backup files and asked if I had another copy.I always backed up important files in at least two places, but she had difficulty finding them. We used to get along well, so in consideration of that, I used my lunch break to stop by the office and help her out.She was incredibly grateful and insisted on paying me. What I did not expect was to run into Ian and Eva, who had just come back from Hawee Island. It looked like their time there had been blissful. Eva even got a pretty sun tan. The moment Eva saw me, she apologized sweetly, saying that she was sorry for 'stealing the brothers away' for a whole month.However, behind those apologetic words, her eyes gleamed with smug satisfaction—like a woman proud of her conquest.I did not respond to her. I just fixed the work issue in a few quick clicks and then turned to leave. That was when I h

    Sebastian chimed in at just the right moment, "Sienna, I just saw a video online tagged 'Wedding of the Year,' and… your name was tagged."There was something barely concealed in their voices—panic. They were afraid. But what were they afraid of? Afraid that I had married someone else?Yet long before this—back when they replaced me with Eva and betrayed me time and time again—our relationship had already ended.I swallowed the bitterness rising in my chest and said coldly, "If you want to know, come see for yourself."Ian's voice was hoarse. "Sienna, I—""Ian! Sebastian! Come on, the water's so warm here! The sun's making me all lazy and cozy!" Eva's playful voice suddenly rang out in the background. Ian didn't even get to finish his sentence before Eva's voice cut in like a splash of cold water.Ian's voice faltered, and he was now stammering, "S-Sienna, just listen to me. I-I only brought Eva here to make it up to her. You humiliated her in front of everyone at the party, and

    It had always been like this. Ever since I ran away with Ian, he had never once apologized for anything. Whenever I did something he didn't like, he would just shut me down completely. He would become silent, cold, and unreachable.The longest stretch of silent treatment was because of Eva's fear of thunderstorms. At 3:00 am, he left me behind in a torrential downpour to find her. He didn't come back until noon the next day.I only asked a few questions and did not kick up a fuss at all, but even that was enough to make him impatient. We had been living under the same roof at the time, but I might as well have been a stranger to him.Seven days passed before I finally caved. I apologized, saying I should not have doubted him. Only then did he start speaking to me again.But now? I did not even look at him. I walked right past.Ian froze, his expression turning gloomy.I continued walking with Dad, chatting casually with his business partners.It was not until later, when I final
