Anthony’s pov

“He did it out of hatred for Xander " I corrected her. "If he had the chance to run that jerk over he definitely would have.”

“That does not change the truth that he helped me.”

I exhaled slowly, running a hand across my face. "Yeah. He sure did.”

She gestured her chin towards me. "You helped me as well.”

I had nothing to say after that. Helping her was it the problem. It was the fact that she was pregnant that was the problem.

I brushed the memory away. With each passing moment, all it did was hurt me and right now I didn’t want to be hurt.

She looked up to me. "Anthony… you seem stressed.”

“I’m okay.”

“You aren’t.”

I chuckled quietly. A sound that had no humor in it . "You constantly insist on dissecting me like a frog on a high school table.”

“I’m not...”

“Yes, you are.”

She leaned in more, her voice gentler this time. "I’m only trying to understand you.”

“What is there to figure out?" I asked. "We struck an agreement. We settled on what this marriage represents.. Wh

    Anthony’s pov“Yes sir, I also helped her with her makeup. She is ready now.”I gave a nod. "Thanks, Greta.”She gave a nod before she stepped outside.I stood up switched off the A.C. and left the room. When I reached her room I saw the door was partly open. I knocked lightly before pushing it open and found her looking at me with wide eyes and to be honest, she was the most stunning woman I had ever laid eyes on at that instant.Her hair fell over her shoulders giving her an appearance of that of a movie star. The black gown she wore clung to her waist accentuating the curves needed to capture everyone's attention in the restaurant. She also had on heels that looked both cozy and uncomfortable at the same time. At that moment I mentally noted to bring slippers so she would be at ease, throughout our date.Her face… she looked stunning wearing makeup. Without it she was lovely. With it she was looking really sharp.“What? Do I look bad?" she asked as I knew I was still looking.“You

    Sienna’s pov“No, no no no no." I shook my head. "I am not going to face this. No, I refuse to do this. I have to do something about this. I can’t…”She walked to me, grabbed my phone from my grip and placed it on the bed while holding my shoulders and turning me to look at her.“The positive part is that you are bringing a life into this world.”“Are you seriously joking?" I laughed, moving away from her. "I’m literally dying here. None of this was in my plans.”“Well, in the heat of the moment between you and Mr. Anthony, I’m sure that’s how we arrived to this point.”“No I won’t do this. I can’t.”I considered having to manage all these issues, handling the pregnancy while also facing a Anthony and his issues. I wasn’t going to cope with Anthony treating me coldly and these pregnancy problems.“I need to leave this place. I feel bloated.”“Ma’am please finish your meal. Mr. Anthony will arrive shortly. I can turn on the tv for you to enjoy.”I shook my head. "I don’t feel like watc

    Anthony’s povI rubbed my temple while listening to Randy, but he wasn’t done yet. “She already went through a bad marriage, don’t ruin this one for her. It will only take a second. You still need to take her out to dinner. Put the whole package in there. Tell her you truly love her.”“That seems like a lot of work.”“It is. The press is going to be around for sure. I’m sure Xander is out there plotting something. Speaking of Xander, I thought you invited him. I could hear a fight brewing in my head while I was drunk. I was thinking that maybe he showed up last night at the party.”“He did show up and he tried to get physical with Sienna. So I had to step in.”“Oh, good. You had him kicked out.”“I did more than that. He has a red bruise to prove it.”“Oh, come on, Anthony. You’re far bigger than the guy. You could have killed him.”I could have.”I looked at my phone, then checked the time. It was after two.“I have to go for this meeting. I also have to prepare for this dinner that

    Anthony’s pov“Take the charts that I’m seeing here and put them aside. I want the progress of this company to go far, really far. Have I made myself clear?”The board members all nodded as I smiled at them.“Good. I would have liked to go through the sectors and see which ones need funding and which ones don’t, but I have a meeting by two o’clock, so this would be pushed to, let’s say, next week.”They all nodded. I got up, they clapped, and walked away.My assistant came forward. “Sir, you have a call from a Mr. Randy.”I rolled my eyes. “Tell him I’m busy.”“Sir, he says if you don’t pick up, he’ll be here.”I shook my head, then collected the phone call from my assistant as I placed it to my ears and walked out of the boardroom.“What do you want?”“I’m right outside your office. I just wanted to know if you were around or not.”I sighed. “I’m around.”“Good. I’ll be there in a jiffy.”Before I could complain, he cut the call.I handed the phone over to my assistant and entered my

    Xander’s povI let out a heavy breath and stood up walking back and forth. “What if I returned to the penthouse and tried talking to her?”Diane looked away from me. It was obvious she was angry now. Then she stood up. Threw the pizza she was holding back into the box.“You know what? I was thrilled to see you this morning. Now my spirits are crushed. I even caught you off guard in bed. Attempted to compensate for how badly yesterday’s matter had gone. Yet you remain fixated on that girl. I’ve done everything to help you feel at ease, to bring you peace, to help you unwind. Nothing is working. So I’m going to let you stew over your Sienna issue. You'll take care of it yourself while I look for a boy toy to accompany me for the remainder of the day. I'm heading out shopping. Normally I can't shop with you since you're scared of being spotted with me in public.”“Diane…”“No.” She stopped me. "I’m done. Go see Sienna. Perhaps this time you’ll finally get your wish of losing a tooth. It
