Lucian

"I choose you."

Three simple words.

But they cracked something inside me—something I’d welded shut for years.

My lungs forgot how to breathe. My heart forgot how to beat.

I stared at her like I’d never seen her before. Sienna. Mine. Choosing me. Not out of fear, or obligation, or manipulation—but with that fierce loyalty only she was capable of. A choice made in the quiet strength of love.

And I didn’t deserve it.

But I was too far gone to stop.

My mouth crushed into hers before she could say anything more. I didn’t give her the chance to second-guess, didn’t give myself the chance to think. My hands slipped around her waist, pulling her flush against me as I kissed her with the kind of desperation that only comes from starving. I pulled her up in my hold, wrapping her legs around my waist, and walked to my room.

Her fingers tangled in my hair, tugging me closer, answering my hunger with her own. I walked her, not breaking the kiss for even a second, until my legs hit the edge

    Sienna I was back in my childhood room, lying in bed while Ava stroked my hair from behind. I had called her in a haze, sobbing uncontrollably, and she came running. That moment made me realize something—I had people in my corner who came without hesitation when I needed them, and yet I had still chosen Lucian. I had been stupid and naive to trust him. “Shh, it’s okay. Everything will be fine,” Ava soothed gently. I sat up abruptly and turned to face her. “How could everything be fine after this? Adrian is going to kill him, and…” I trailed off as another sob rose in my throat, choking me. Ava’s face darkened, her expression hardening. “Good. He deserves to die,” she spat, her eyes icy with rage. “Ava!” I exclaimed, shocked. “You know I warned him. I warned him that if he ever hurt you, he’d make enemies—many of them,” she hissed. “What do you mean?” I asked, dread already twisting in my gut. “My uncle takes my words seriously, Si. All I have to do is tell him, and Lucian wil

    SiennaI slowly got out and walked inside. Adrian was rummaging through the cabinets in the kitchen, slamming them shut and opening others. He was clearly looking for something. I stood silently, watching him. When I finally gathered the courage, I cleared my throat.“You’re not going to ask?” I said in a small voice. It took everything in me not to cry right then. Adrian’s hands stilled, his back still facing me. When he didn’t respond, I continued.“I know you’re mad, and you probably hate me...” My voice cracked at the end. Adrian turned around, and the look on his face made me shiver. There was so much anger and disappointment written all over it.“Yes, I’m mad, Sienna.” He said my full name so harshly, it made my chest tighten. “I told you he was an asshole. I told you he’s a manipulative bastard.” He shook his head. “I told you he wasn’t trustworthy, but you didn’t listen. I warned you. My biggest mistake was not being here when he trapped you.”Hearing him say it out loud was m

    SiennaAs soon as Lucian left my sight, I slid down to the floor as my knees gave out and I sobbed uncontrollably. I felt like my breaths were becoming shorter and my eyes puffier. I hiccupped as I cried my heart out. I thought about what my brother said, about what Ava said. They all warned me. I saw the look in Ava’s eyes when I told her about my impatience to marry Lucian. I saw the look in Adrian's eyes when I had told him I married his enemy. I still sided with Lucian, even when Adrian said that he was a liar and a manipulator.That's Lucian! He's a manipulating, lying bastard—Watch your mouth, Adrian! That's my husband!I defended Lucian and betrayed my own brother. I clenched my fists and cried harder. I felt like the air was leaving my lungs.And you think that Lucian is the right person to marry?Ava had asked the right question. It was me who was blinded by a cloud of poor judgment that trusted Lucian.I slowly remembered everyone's low warnings and weird looks that I was b

    SiennaI woke up as the light filtered through the curtain and right into my eyes. My eyes gently fluttered open, trying to adjust to the light. I looked at the ceiling and saw an unfamiliar roof, but this sense of unfamiliarity turned into belonging when I realized where I was. This thought formed a smile on my face. I turned to face the person I vowed to spend my life with, but it was empty. I looked around, and the bed was empty; however, it was still ruffled, which indicated that Lucian woke up first. I yawned as I stretched my arms above my head. My body felt heavy with sleep. I turned to the source of light and placed my hand above my eyes since I was still adjusting to the direct light. The curtains were open, which was odd because during the times Lucian would sleep over, he knew I always kept the curtains closed.It was one of those days where everything felt right except for that one small feeling that something could go wrong. Maybe I was too paranoid due to the past events

    Sienna“I’m so tired,” Ava groaned as she plopped down beside me on the couch in the nurses' lounge. We had a few minutes' break, and we were using it to do what we did best—crash and recover.But my mind wasn’t on work. It hadn’t been all day. I was still stuck on everything that happened two nights ago.I’d tried calling and messaging Adrian, but he refused to pick up. The only thing he sent was:ADRIAN: Talk to me when you get your head straight.I hadn’t replied. He clearly thought I’d lost my mind—falling in love with the man he hated most. I still wanted to make it up to him. I knew I hurt him when I said it didn’t matter that we weren’t blood-related. I was planning to visit him in the next few days.“What’s wrong? You’ve had that face all day,” Ava asked, frowning.“Adrian won’t answer my calls,” I muttered.She winced. “I mean… him being mad is kinda valid.”I opened my mouth to argue, but she held up a hand to stop me.“Imagine if it were him who married your enemy. How woul
