Nic’s POV

I woke to the soft sound of her snore. For a moment, I just lay there, watching her. Even in the middle of all this chaos, she was my calm—my peace, my joy. With the babies on the way, I couldn’t wait to see what our future held.

“Good morning,” I murmured, brushing my lips across her hair as her eyes slowly fluttered open.

“Morning…” she whispered with a warm smile, curling her arms tighter around me like we weren’t already tangled together.

“Hungry?” I asked, teasing.

“For you, yes,” she shot back, that mischievous smile tugging at her lips. I tickled her lightly, making her laugh, her blue eyes sparkling with unspoken happiness.

Her phone buzzed. She reached for it, but I stopped her, my hand closing over hers.

“Not now. No phones. Just me and you.”

“What if it’s Kate? She might just want to check in,” she said, eyes flicking toward the device.

“It’s Kate, I’m sure. And she knows we’re fine. Come on,” I said, lifting her effortlessly into my arms. She giggled, clinging to

  • Owned by my boss    His presence

    ⸻Sienna’s POVI stared out the plane window, my head throbbing as I waved off the stewardess offering me a drink.When the call from my father came earlier, asking to see me, I couldn’t refuse. We had searched for him for three years with no trace, and suddenly—just like that—he reached out. He promised to explain everything in person.Leaving wasn’t easy. My children needed me. But if finding him meant I could finally bring him back home with us, I had to go. My plan was simple: find Dad, take him back, and start fresh together.I wasn’t here to stay.The plane landed, and airline staff helped me with my luggage. I’d told Mum this was a short business trip—just a few days. She believed me. She always did.Later, in the hotel room, I pressed my palm against the large window, looking out at the city that had once broken me. The city I swore I’d never return to. It had given me love and chaos, and it had taken more than it ever gave back.I sipped my wine, exhaling, then grabbed my pho

  • Owned by my boss    Years later

    3 Years Later—Sienna’s POV—The morning breeze slipped softly through my window, carrying warmth as the sun settled into its rightful place. Laughter and squeals filled the air, tugging me from sleep.“Mum! Mummy!” a tiny voice shouted as the bed bounced beneath me. “Chris said I can’t be a ballerina!”I opened my eyes to see Ava’s pouty face. “Oh, sweetheart, don’t listen to him. You can be whatever you want.” I pulled her close, kissing her cheeks. “And good morning.”“Good morning, Mummy.” Another voice joined in. I turned to see Chris standing by the door, his gray eyes—so much like his father’s—watching me.“Hi, my angel,” I whispered, smiling at him. Every time I looked at Chris, I saw Nic. The same eyes, the same quiet intensity. Even his messy black hair reminded me of him. No matter how much time passed, I couldn’t forget Nic—his touch, his dominance, the way he held me. It had been three years since I walked away from him, starting over here with Mum and Ann.My father had

  • Owned by my boss    The note

    Nic’s POVIt’s been days since she left. Days that feel like years. I’ve been haggard, restless, drowning in whiskey and silence. I launched an investigation—she’s no longer in France. No trace, no footprint, nothing. It’s as if she disappeared into thin air.The half-empty bottle of whiskey sat on the table in front of me. I reached for it, taking another burning gulp, my eyes fixed on the folded white note that had been haunting me since the hospital.I hadn’t opened it. Not until now. Part of me was terrified—terrified of what her words might do to me. But finally, with shaking hands, I unfolded it.Her handwriting hit me like a knife.**“My Nic,By the time you read this, I will already be gone. Please don’t come looking for me—I beg you. This isn’t goodbye out of hate, but out of love. I gave you my heart, my soul, and no matter what, a part of me will always belong to you.But I’ve realized I cannot keep drowning in the chaos we’ve created. My heart longs for peace, for quiet da

  • Owned by my boss    Goodbye ?

    Sienna’s POVI told him I wanted to see my father, to know how he was. Nic agreed without hesitation. At first, I tried to convince him not to come, told him I would be fine on my own. But of course, he refused. It was Nic—he always did whatever he wanted.After bathing and getting dressed, we arrived at the hospital. The moment I stepped inside, that sharp, sterile smell hit me. I hated it instantly. Cold. Suffocating. A mix of disinfectant and metal that clung to my lungs no matter how I tried not to breathe it in. To me, it was the smell of pain, of fear, of memories you wanted to forget but never could. The walls might have been white and clean, but the smell made everything heavy, as if hope was fragile here, and heartbreak lived in the air.My head throbbed faintly.“Are you okay?” my dad asked softly, his weak eyes fixed on me.“Yes. Just need some water,” I said, glancing at Nic. He understood without a word.“I’ll be right back,” he said, and walked out.The second the door c

  • Owned by my boss    Dangerous temptation

    Sienna’s POVI stood at the window, arms folded tightly across my chest, staring out at nothing in particular. The city stretched before me, but all I saw was the weight of broken promises. I swore I would never come back here—yet here I was.“Hungry?” His voice came from behind me, the same voice that had pulled me from the nightmare in that warehouse. Clara had escaped in the crossfire, but Nic had gotten me and my father out. My father was now recovering in the hospital, alive—thanks to him.I turned to face him. He still looked devastatingly handsome, though the strain in his eyes told its own story. He stepped closer, but I instinctively stepped back.“Sienna, I’m sorry…” His words cracked something inside me, and tears pricked at my eyes.When his hand reached for me, I flinched. “Don’t touch me. You promised.”It felt like my chest had been ripped open. Each breath cut like glass, betrayal pressing down on me until even standing upright felt like an act of war. Memories of laug

  • Owned by my boss    Saved

    Sienna’s POVMy mind wouldn’t stop racing as I stared out the tinted window, the city lights bleeding into streaks against the glass. I wasn’t supposed to be back here—not now, not ever. But when Clara used my father as leverage, I had no choice. I lied to Janet, telling her Kate had been in an accident. She’d wanted to come with me, but I convinced her it wasn’t serious. I promised I’d only be gone a day or two—our visas were ready, and we were supposed to leave the country in just days.Now, I sat in the back of Janet’s Maybach, the driver dressed in black, silent as the city swallowed me whole.Every honk, every blur of neon, every rushing figure on the sidewalks pressed down on me. The noise, the chaos—it felt like the city itself was mocking me. Every corner screamed of Nic, memories I couldn’t outrun. Even surrounded by life, I had never felt more alone.Then my phone buzzed.It was Clara, using my father’s number.Be here, bitch.An address followed.The warehouse loomed at the
