LOGINI slide the seat back for her to sit.
I know she answered Clara's call. I know she crossed the line by picking up while we were having sex - but I don't care. Besides, Clara is a pest I can't wait to weed out. "These dishes look delicious..." she says, picking up her fork. She looks breathtaking under the starlight - her blonde hair, blue eyes... everything about her is just alluring. "If you want more, let me know." "I'm not a glutton, Mr. Steele," she mutters, rolling her eyes. "Never called you one," I say, wiping away a crumb from her lips. In a world filled with chaos, whenever I'm with her... I find peace. Sienna's POV I walked hand-in-hand with Nic as we strolled quietly down the beach. My long sleeveless dress danced in the breeze. I could feel his stare - I turned to look at him. "You're a beauty, Sienna - an art meant to be worshipped," he murmurs as we walk. "Thank y-" I begin, when my phone chimes. KEVIN. "I'm sorry - I have to take this," I say, noticing the jealousy blazing in his eyes. "Don't. Even. Dare," he growls. "But-" "But nothing, Sienna. If you still want that fucker to keep his job, don't pick it up. But if you want to test me... go ahead." He walks off, leaving me standing there alone. What the actual fuck - he just showed me that side. That possessive, jealous side. Nic, I've got you right where I need you... I smirked, walking after him. The Resort Room "Nic?" I call out. No answer. I step onto the patio where the luxury jacuzzi sits. He's there - bathed in blue light, looking sinfully gorgeous. Pierced ears. Tattooed chest. Bulging muscles. Compared to him, Kevin is nothing but a pest. I want to scream to the world to fuck off - he's mine. I approach and slowly peel off my clothes, leaving only matching thongs. His eyes drink me in as I lower myself into the bubbly water, hips swaying. Lust burns in his gaze like he can never get enough of me. Reaching him, I wrap my arms around his neck and straddle him, brushing my lips against his skin. "Are you angry at me?" I whisper in his ear. "You're mine, Sienna. All mine. Which part of that don't you understand?" he growls, grabbing my waist and forcing me to grind against him. "Ahh..." I moan. "Yes - I'm yours. All yours, Nic. No one else." "Tell me Kevin is a pest, baby." "Kevin's a pest. A nuisance," I breathe, moving my hips harder as I feel his length against me. He crashes his mouth on my neck, then my lips - hungry, punishing... like he wants to brand me. "Mmm..." I moan as he shifts my thong aside, pulls himself free, and slides into me. "Ahh..." I cry out as I start riding him. Our moans fill the night air as the water splashes around us. I ride him like a wild stallion. Suddenly, his phone rings - Clara. Then my phone buzzes. "I'm going to kill you, bitch. Stay the fuck away from my man..."- Clara
I only smirk as he rejects her call and focuses on thrusting up into me - consuming me like gasoline to flame. He moans my name like I'm a poison sent to destroy him. The fact he ignored her... for me? The line has definitely been crossed. And I can't wait to rub it in her face.Pick up… pick up…” I muttered under my breath, pacing the length of the living room so many times I was sure I had worn a path into the marble floor.Clara’s line wasn’t going through.Not reachable.Not available.Not existing.My hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped the phone. The silence in the house felt wrong—too loud, too heavy. Police officers moved around, murmuring into radios. At the far corner, Nic stood with the detectives, speaking in a low, controlled voice like this was just another business crisis he could negotiate his way out of.This wasn’t business.This was my son.“Mum… where is Chris?”Ava’s tiny voice pierced through the noise.I froze.She stood near the staircase, clutching her stuffed rabbit, her wide eyes scanning the room. She was trying to be brave, but I could see the fear swimming in them.I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced a smile that felt like it cracked my face in half.“Baby, can you give Mum some time?” I said softly, patting her
SIENNA’S POVI walked out of the room where Nic had been sitting, feeling his gaze on me the entire time. I didn’t want to meet his eyes—didn’t want him to see the knot of panic twisting in my stomach. I had to handle this myself.I pulled out my phone, fingers trembling as I dialed Clara’s number. It rang once, twice… then connected.“Hey, bitch,” she sneered, her voice dripping with venom.“What do you want from me?” I asked, my voice steadier than I felt.“A lot,” she hissed. “And I’m sure you’re very much aware now. I’m taking back everything you stole from me.”“I never took anything from you,” I snapped, heat rising in my chest. “Stay the hell away from my family. I’m warning you, Clara!”She was about to speak again, probably to threaten me further, but I slammed the call button, cutting her off.I sank back into the chair, heart hammering, chest tight.“Clara… still threatening?”The voice startled me. Nova, leaning against the doorframe, her eyebrows raised in concern.“N… Ni
“Sienna, I want you to meet someone…” Nic says as he steps onto the balcony where I’m seated.The late afternoon sun spills across the marble floor, warm against my bare feet. I turn slowly, expecting one of his guards, maybe a business associate. But the moment my eyes land on the man standing behind him, my breath leaves my lungs.“Dad…” I whisper, the word breaking in my throat.I don’t remember standing. I only know I’m suddenly running—heart pounding, vision blurred—until I crash into his chest. His arms wrap around me tightly, desperately, like he’s afraid I’ll disappear if he loosens his grip.“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” he keeps murmuring against my hair. Over and over. Like a prayer. Like a punishment.Tears stream down my cheeks as I pull back slightly to look at him. I cup his face in my trembling hands, studying him carefully. He looks… healthy. Stronger. The hollowness that used to shadow his eyes is gone.Nic took care of him.“It’s not your fault,” I whisper, even though I
Hi my loves,I owe you all an apology. I know I’ve been gone for a while, and I haven’t updated the book like I promised. Life got overwhelming, and I needed time to sort things out.But please know this story was never abandoned in my heart.I’m ready to begin writing again. Thank you for your patience, your messages, and for still caring about these characters even when I was silent.
The next evening, the house smelled of baked cookies and fresh flowers. Ava had insisted on helping me decorate, scattering petals on the dining table while Chris kept running to the window to check if “Aunt Ann’s car” was there yet.When the doorbell finally rang, the kids bolted before I could stop them.“Ann!” Ava squealed, flinging herself into her aunt’s arms the moment the door opened.Tara—Ann to everyone but me—laughed as she bent down to scoop her up. “Oh, my favorite girl! You’ve grown so much. What are they feeding you, sunshine?”Chris hugged her next, grinning wide. “Mom said you were coming, but I thought you’d miss the plane like last time.”“Not this time, kiddo,” she said, ruffling his hair. “I made sure of it.”I stood in the doorway, smiling before she even looked up. And when she did, her eyes softened in that way that always made me feel like home wasn’t a place—it was her.“Sienna,” she said quietly.I didn’t realize how much I needed her until I was in her arms.
Seinna povThe flight home felt quieter than the one that brought us there. The kids had fallen asleep halfway through, curled up under thin blankets, their faces peaceful against the hum of the engines. I watched them for a long while, brushing a strand of hair from Ava’s forehead, pretending not to notice the weight of Nic’s silence beside me.He hadn’t said much since the park. He’d disappeared for nearly an hour that evening before we left, returning only after sunset, jaw tight and eyes unreadable. When I asked where he went, he simply said, “Handled it,” and that was the end of it.Now, as the jet sliced through the night sky, he sat across from me, scrolling through his phone with a stillness that made the air between us feel heavy.“Everything okay?” I asked softly.His eyes lifted to mine for a moment before he nodded once. “Yeah. We’re fine.”But the edge in his voice told a different story.When we landed, dawn had already begun to creep across the horizon, painting the cit
Sienna’s POVI stir awake in bed, last night’s image flashing through my mind. We kissed last night… it reminded me how much I missed his touch, how much I was still longing for him.“Good morning, Mummy…” Chris’s voice came softly as he walked in. Exactly the person I wanted to see. I needed to ta
⸻Nic’s POVI stared at the little girl in front of me. Her blonde hair—just like Sienna’s—was tied in two pigtails. I bent to her level. Her grey eyes looked exactly like mine. She was cute, if not the most adorable girl I had ever seen.“Are you my daddy?” she asked again, her little voice making
SiennaI step into the same room I once promised myself never to return to, but here I was—all for the sake of my children. My eyes move around the space; nothing had really changed except that it looked cleaner and more neatly arranged.I was back in Nic’s private mansion. He had suggested that hi
Sienna POVI pulled back Ava, who stared at Nic’s mother with wide eyes.“Are you my grandmother?” Ava asked softly.“Come here, baby. I’m your grandmother,” Calista said, her eyes softening as she looked at both Chris and Ava.“He looks just like his father. Remind me to call my husband—I’m very s
