The Don's Billion Dollar Rival Bride Twenty seven
A TIGHT LEASH. SIENNA'S POV I woke up not to anything but the quietness and stillness in the house, I looked over to the other side of the bed rough, Julian had gone to work and I was just stirring up awake. I turned over to the other side, I still wanted to sleep but I yawned. My tummy rumbled as if on a cue — I was hungry. I chuckled. There was no need to but I felt like it. I wasn't a person who valued breakfast and here I was, my baby was making me have them. “Cute.“ I muttered as I got down from the bed, raising my hands up in the air and stretching my body. Although I tried to wave it, it was all weird. The atmosphere the air breathed too tense as if holding up a secret but there was not much to figure out. I dragged the chair by the mirror towards me before I sat In front of it, taking a wipe to cleanse my face while I swayed to the rhythm of jazz music. I was not going to let any bad energy in on me and definitely not on my child. I sprayed a perfume to my earlobe when

STRINGS AND SHADOWSSIENNA'S POVI groaned as I lazily got off from the bed, this preggies hormones have been making me sleepy too often instead of the initial plan — digging dirts. I raised my hands up in the air the umpteenth time but it did nothing, my knees still buckled and my body felt lifeless not until a notification popped to my phone letting me jump up. It was as if my life charged up in an instant. “To the office.“ Sharp, and commanding. I scoffed, it was Dominic, he literally wanted to try out some new trick on me but which was going to work? And so I stood up, had my bath and clutched my handbags in hand like it was some sole secret, oh well, where I headed was more to it. I walked in almost majestically as I distracted myself from the joy of manipulating Dominic so fast. “Easy..“ I muttered to myself as I got to the floor that led to his office hoping I didn't collide with Julian in any part of the office. I walked in, slowly, steps calculated — at this point, I

(Sienna’s POV)“You’re getting married in two weeks.”The words hit me like a slap. My fingers went numb, and the wine glass slipped from my fingers, shattering against the marble floor.I barely heard the sharp gasp of a maid rushing to clean up the mess. My eyes locked onto my father, Edward Monroe, who sat in his leather chair, completely unfazed.“You can’t be serious,” I whispered, my throat tightening.“I’m always serious when it comes to family matters,” he said, lighting a cigar. He exhaled a slow puff, his sharp blue eyes watching me like I was some unruly child throwing a tantrum. “You will marry Julian Castellanos. This alliance will strengthen both our families.”Julian Castellanos. The name alone made my stomach twist. I have heard the name a dozen times. Cold. Ruthless. A man who never smiled.“I don’t even know him,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.“You’ll get to know him after the wedding,” my father said, as if it was that simple.I clenched my fists. “I have

(Sienna’s POV)"Tell me your name."I smirked, swirling the golden liquid in my glass. "Now, where’s the fun in that?"The man beside me, tall, dark, and dangerously handsome, chuckled. His lips curled at the edges, his silver watch glinting under the dim bar lights. Everything about him screamed power.He leaned in, whiskey-laced breath tickling my skin. "So, you like mystery?"I took a slow sip of my drink, eyes locked on his. "I like control."His expression darkened, amused and intrigued. "Is that right?"I tilted my head, letting the silence stretch. Letting him wait.Then, I leaned closer, my voice barely above a whisper."Are you going to keep talking, or are you going to do something about it?"His eyes flashed.And just like that, I knew I had him….My back hit the cool glass window of his penthouse, his lips devouring mine like a man starved.Strong hands gripped my waist, pulling me against his firm body. His touch was possessive, demanding exactly what I needed.I let him

(Sienna's POV)"No. No, no, no... This isn't real."I felt my heartbeat thunder in my ears.The cathedral was packed, every seat filled with Houston's elite.Crystal chandeliers bathed the grand space in golden light, casting a warm glow over the guests, their murmurs like a distant hum. The scent of roses and expensive cologne filled the air, but I barely registered it.I was supposed to be the perfect bride-poised, elegant, glowing with happiness.But as I locked eyes with my groom at the altar, my world came crashing down.Because second the man I had a reckless one-night stand with just weeks ago-was standing there.As my husband-to-be. Julian Castellanos.His shock mirrored mine.His piercing blue eyes, once filled with sinful pleasure, now darkened with disbelief.A muscle in his jaw clenched. His fingers curled into fists.And then... his expression turned cold.Like a switch had flipped.Like I was nothing.I tried to swallow, but my throat was dry.Not only was I marrying a m

(Nathaniel’s POV)"Leave the wedding alone. Let them celebrate while they can."I leaned back in my chair, fingers tapping against the armrest as I studied the man in front of me. Tobias. One of my best men, but also the most impatient. I leaned back in my chair, my fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest, eyes narrowing as I studied the man before me. Tobias. One of my best men, though I often wondered how he made it to this level. He was impatient, always twitching, always ready for action.He stood stiffly, shifting his weight from foot to foot, clearly struggling to hold his tongue."The wedding’s happening right now," he said after a long silence. "We could move in…."I cut him off with a sharp look. "Did I stutter?"He swallowed hard. "No, sir."I exhaled slowly, smirking. "Mr Edward, her father, thinks he’s clever. Let him. Once I’m done with him and his entire household, he won’t live to tell the story."Tobias hesitated, eyes darting to the side. "And the girl?"Th

(Sienna’s POV)"What the hell is Julian doing here?"I walked into my office, barely setting my bag down before my PA, Chloe, rushed toward me."Mrs. Castellanos," she began hesitantly, glancing over her shoulder as if afraid someone might hear.I narrowed my eyes. "What?"She bit her lip. "Your father and… um, your husband are in his office. They’ve been talking for over an hour."I frowned. "Julian?"What the hell was he doing here?I had assumed he’d be at his own company, playing the perfect CEO while I enjoyed a small break from his insufferable presence. Instead, he was here, discussing something with my father behind my back.My gut twisted.I turned on my heels and marched toward my father’s office.Chloe called after me, “Ma’am, should I—”But I didn’t stop.I pushed the door open without knocking, my pulse hammering in my ears.My father sat behind his desk, his hands folded in front of him, looking as composed as ever. Julian, on the other hand, leaned against the desk, arm

SIENNA'S POV. I stared blankly at the documents that had occupied my mahogany office desk, the air tense and suffocating with every minutes passing by. I stood from the chair to rest on the wall beside the tall glass window of my corner office. I watched as the city ahead of me stretched before me in endless motion and drives but they feel so far away. I crossed my hands over my chest. Shouldn't I be feeling some kind of way? I should feel something, joy, relief, troubled or even fear? But all I felt was… numb. I moved slightly to rest my forehead against the cool glass — at least it gave the comfort I wanted. My left hand grazed my belly through the silk of my blouse — Julian's words replaying in my head. “We're married now, Sienna.“ the possessive tone almost creepy as it lingered in my ears like a sour tone. Slowly, I walked to my desk, picking up one of the many pictures from the wedding day. My hands brushed it for a moment, curling my lips to a tight smile, as I studied Jul

His True Motives. Dominic’s POV. The raging sunlight creeped in from my window. Forced to move to the other side of the bed, my skin brushed another, my reflex kicking in with my eyes leading to inform my brain the scenario that presented itself. “Didn't mean to wake you, love.” With my eyes closed, my hands dugged in massaging the fatigue out of it. “Good morning darling.” I greeted. “It was quite a night yesterday.”“Yeah. The whole acting got me tired.”With the stance of a predator, he grovelled and moved slowly to me. “How about I charge you up this morning?” Flashes of pleasure invaded my mind. Temptation was about to give in until a spark of responsibility scarred my brain. “As tempting as that offer is, we need to keep things down. The last thing I would want my brother to think of is that is that I'm having sex with his brother-in-law.”He cupped my face and locked his lips with my upper lips. “He met me yesterday. I'm sure he'll let it all slide.” Before I could give

Sienna’s POV“Hello sis. It’s nice to finally meet you.” His friendly voice echoed the serene environment. As I stared at everyone in the room, everyone seemed to be just as confused as I was. Everyone except my father whose posture was saying a lot more than his posture. He was the only one capable of making sense out of the mess at hand. I ignored the man’s greeting and went to my father immediately. “Care to make sense to the situation at hand?” I asked politely trying as much as possible to not lose myself.“I myself am not sure.” He mumbled his words. “Uh?”“I said I am not sure myself.” He raised his voice and I shot back immediately.“What do you mean you’re not sure yourself?”Dominic placed his cold hand on my shoulder like he was trying to pacify me. Tears invaded my eyes. My anger and sorrow opened the door unleashing my emotions to the world. “He has the DNA result to prove it.” Dominic handed the result to me and with the truth presented before my very eyes, I had no o

Final Decision. Sienna's POV. The time was ticking and I hadn't clarified my deal with Nathaniel. I've buried my head into research. The progressiveness of my inquiries made me engrossed into what I was doing. I thought to myself why I didn't choose investigator as my career path. Most times, I forget to eat. I had to set an alarm to eat not because of it was a necessity to me but because of the one that lives in me. Then the day came just like every other day of investigation. After my daily check in with the family to avoid all forms of questions, I got a text message from Nathaniel himself. “It sounds to me like you're not taking this in the least serious.” His text message threatened. “I've made my decision.”my tired hands and eyes worked together to construct the sentence. Just by standing near him, Nathaniel exhumed a dangerous vibes and from what I've found out about him, I know he is not one to be toiled with. “You know where and when to meet.” His response came in alm

Hardwork Really Pays Off Sienna’s POVThe long walk after my meeting the devil made me contemplate on what my decision was going to be. The life of my husband and my father was in my hand. Minutes away from home, I realized what it was going to be – the only logical decision would be to save the both of them. I realized that the nudes Nathaniel used to blackmail me were the ones Dominic sent which meant Nathaniel probably hacked them to get to me. I had always been afraid of Dominic because of the things I feared he knew while Nathaniel was the actual person to be feared. I also couldn’t get over the fact that he said a lot of thing I hadn’t realized or thought of myself. Becoming his mistress is definitely the better choice. As soon as I entered the house, my whole thoughts changed. The crowdedness of the room changed temperature. I couldn’t understand what was going on until I sighted both my husband and my father from the end of the living room. Julian on a “She’s here! She’

The Devil Negotiates.Sienna’s POVThe world around me felt suffocating that it felt like it was going to explode. I have been given a deal that seems harmless. A deal that felt like I was benefiting from. But of course, the devil doesn’t give you a cake without asking for your heart later. I did a deep dive on the man that presented me with an ultimatum. If it’s one thing I learnt from Dominic during these investigative moments is that anyone can be found. Nathaniel DaLuca the mafia don. Once again, I found myself regretting why my one-night stand turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. I found out a lot about him and things relating to my father. For a moment, everything made sense to me. But now, with knowing what I now do, how was I supposed to go back to my normal life like nothing ever happened?Nathaniel intends to kill my father for owing him a debt and the death of my husband will be the blood of someone who got his nose under the wrong business.As much as I hated

Inside the Villain’s mind.Nathaniel’s POV.“Who are you?” she asked. I felt pity for her after revealing my intentions to her. It’s often said that girls like it when guys lie to them but I’ll say ripping their heart wide open with the truth is the best any man can ever give to any woman. That way, they won’t be bothered about you telling lies because they know you’re brutally honest. “Nathaniel. You have 72 hours to do it.” An ultimatum would make it swifter. It would put her in deep tension and the thought of her nudes reaching the public would make her accelerate the plan. If it wasn’t for sloppy Dominic who couldn’t handle his files well, I wouldn’t have gotten it to begin with. It’s probably too much for her to handle. But I’m pretty sure he can handle it. She was smart enough to betray her husband and work for Dominic, even though she had a little bit of my help. She’ll figure it out again even if it means betraying Julian again. My motive is quite simple; in order for her

Torment takes another toll. Sienna’s POV. Ever since I did what Dominic requested from me, I can't help but feel relieved. I already made it pretty clear that I wasn't going to partake in his threats any longer. Although, it would be nice to start gathering some things about him in order to protect myself from whatever curve ball he intends to throw. I know he will. He is a parasite that keeps feeding off people and I'm not going to let myself be blackmailed and dragged around like a pawn. As I made my declaration to protect what's left of my life, a message popped up from my laptop screen. It was my nudes.Again. My mind went to Dominic instantly because I know he is the only person capable of doing something like this. “Dominic, I already told you. I am done with all your demands! I won't be your pawn in your little game. Go find someone else to play around.”I fired up a text message as a response to his threat. My eyes almost teared up as I was tired of everything. The repl
