The avalanche that covered Kosciuszko National Park was all over the news for the next few weeks. 32 people made it out alive, 45 dead and 7 still missing. Everyone grieved over the death of Kian van Zyl, but Aaron was especially heartbroken. He remembered his last words to him, and they repeated in his head.   “Go help her,” Kian said and gestured towards Sienna as she walked off. Aaron didn’t need to be told twice and instantly followed after her.   He wondered if those were Kian’s last words to him for a reason. Was this purpose in life to help Sienna? He prayed for days for an answer and waited for Kian to show him a sign that he was okay. Aaron locked himself in his room and mostly cried while his mind raced with what-ifs and regrets. He wished he hadn’t followed Sienna and died that night next to Kian. At least they could have been together. Then, on the other hand, he felt lucky that he did go after her and could live on another day.

The next morning Sienna and Declan woke up in each other’s arms. It was nice to sleep next to someone without expecting any type of sexual attention. Declan had never slept next to a woman before without sleeping with her the previous night, but the change felt good. He knew in his heart that Sienna was meant to be the woman he would marry and spend the rest of his life with. He first had to fix their relationship and decided to court Sienna like a true gentleman. They climbed out of bed, and Sienna went back to her room to get dressed while Declan waited outside her door. The couple walked into the dining room together. Aaron glanced over at them, confused, which Caleb noticed and raised his suspicions. On the other hand, Aideen had a pair of sunglasses on and slowly sipped on a hot cup of strong black coffee. “Good morning, rough night?” Sienna asked Aideen and grabbed a croissant. Declan moved her chair and let her sit d

“Hey.” Aideen blushed when she opened the door to find a smiling Taro. “You look gorgeous.” He smiled and gave her a hug. “Taro a word.” Declan Foster stated and stepped in front of his younger sister. Declan had always been protective over her ever since they were adopted by The Fosters when he was 4 years old. Aideen had been 2 at the time. “Declan, please just leave him alone.” Aideen rolled her eyes. “What are your intentions with my sister?” Declan asked as they walked towards Taro’s black Volkswagen Golf. “Dude, we just gonna chill.” Taro laughed. “If you hurt her, I will kill you. Do we understand each other?” Declan threatened. “Sure, man,” Taro answered. Another useless big brother threat, he’s heard many before.&nb

 Declan’s voice broke on the last sentence, and he carefully put both pieces of glass back into the box. He then stepped closer towards Sienna and gently kissed her. She lovingly kissed him back, and they found themselves laying down on the blankets. “I want you, Sienna,” Declan mumbled in her ear. “I want you too, but we aren’t in the room,” Sienna replied and ran her hand down his torso. She could feel his abs through the thing material of his shirt and wished she could feel his skin against hers. Declan moved his hand to squeeze her thigh and sucked on the delicate skin of her neck. “I told no one to disturb us, and the curtains were all closed to give us privacy.” “Good.” Sienna smiled and started undoing his shirt buttons. Being with Declan felt so right, and she was so grateful for the baby growing inside of her. The baby had boug

Sienna just read over something that chilled her to her core. Declan was only 19 when he wrote that. Did he actually go through with the threat? Her hands were shaking as she held the phone and stared at the floor. Why did she phone Ryan? Why did she read the journal? “I assume you read the journal, or why else would you phone me?” Ryan added, and she nodded, not realising they were on a call. Sienna tried to find her phone, but she was speechless. She did not expect to read a death threat in his journal. Wasn’t this type of thing supposed to be reported to the police? It happened about 20 years ago. Would it even matter that she reported it now? Who was Taro? What happed to make Declan threaten his life? “I’ll be over in about 10 minutes. We’ll go on a drive and talk.” Ryan stated, then hung up. Sienna listened to the silent call and took in a deep inhale. 1… 2… 3.
