Chapter 31 Sienna’s Pov “Here’s your order, ma’am,” a voice said, almost too calm, too steady. I opened the door expecting to see the delivery guy, but the moment I looked up, my stomach tightened. It wasn’t who I was expecting. The man standing there had the uniform and the delivery bag, but something about him felt wrong, off. His eyes were too focused, too intense, and he didn’t look like someone who was just here to drop off food. “We need to talk. Privately,” he said, his voice low, as he pushed the bag toward me. I froze for a second, my mind racing. “Excuse me?” I managed to say, glancing at Daphne who was still in the room behind me. The man didn’t move, just stood there, watching me carefully. “Not here. Outside.” Daphne, sensing something was off, looked up from the bed. “Mama, where are you going?” I forced a smile, trying to keep my voice light. “Just going to meet a friend for a few minutes, sweetie. I’ll be back soon. Enjoy your food, okay?” Daphne tilted her h

Chapter 33Sienna's Pov"Mama, why did you say I can go out with Lucas now?" Daphne asked, her small voice breaking through the morning quiet.I looked at her, trying to hide the conflicting emotions swirling inside me. I had just told her not to follow strangers, but when it came to Lucas, I hesitated. Why did I still trust him with her after everything? I brushed the thought aside, trying to focus on Daphne."You like him, don’t you?” I asked, forcing a smile. “And if you’re happy, I don’t have a choice, do I?"Daphne beamed, her eyes lighting up. "So, does that mean I can go out with him again?"I hesitated for a second before nodding. “Yes, sweetheart. But only if I know where you're going.”Her smile widened. "What about you, Mama? Will you come out with me today? Can we go somewhere fun?"I smiled softly, glad to see her excitement. It had been a while since we’d spent time together like this, and after everything, I owed her more than just apologies."Of course! How about we g

Chapter 35Sienna’s Pov“Daphne! Daphne!” My voice cracked, hoarse from hours of yelling, searching, running from one corner of the park to the next. The carousel, the rollercoaster, the stalls, none of it mattered anymore. Nothing but finding her. It had been hours since she disappeared, and every passing minute made my heart race harder. I had searched everywhere, asked every parent, every child, every worker. But no one had seen her. She was just... gone.Tears stung my eyes, but I didn’t have time to cry. I had to think, to keep moving. The sun was already setting, casting long shadows over the park, making it harder to see clearly. My stomach twisted in knots. Where was she?I knew what I had to do, even though the thought of leaving the park terrified me. I had to go to the police. I had to get help.I jumped into the car, my hands trembling as I gripped the steering wheel. The drive to the police station felt endless, every second ticking by like an eternity. My mind raced wit

Chapter 37Lucas’s Pov“Here’s your phone,” I said, stretching it toward Lisa, who grabbed it quickly, almost too quickly. “Thank you,” she muttered, not even looking me in the eye before disappearing upstairs to get ready for her night out. I watched her leave, feeling a strange unease settle in my chest. Lately, something about Lisa felt off. She seemed distant, jumpy even. I couldn’t understand why. She said she was going to a friend’s place, and I believed her, but the way she clung to her phone and avoided me... it just didn’t sit right. I sighed, sinking into the couch, letting my mind drift. Maybe it was just the stress of everything, the company, the money, our strained relationship.The silence was broken by the buzz of my phone. I picked it up, noticing the familiar number from Men, our senior project manager.“Lucas, we’ve just bagged another contract,” Men’s voice came through, sounding excited but trying to keep his composure.A smile broke across my face. Finally, som

Chapter 39 Lucas's Pov I stared at my phone, waiting for any sign from Lisa. It had been hours since I tried calling her, and still, nothing. No calls, no texts, not even a missed notification. I tried to push away the growing worry gnawing at me, but it was getting harder. *Maybe she’s upset,* I thought. After Ken had stupidly told her I didn’t want to see anyone, it wasn’t unreasonable to think she was pissed off. Hell, I would be too if I were in her shoes. I sent a few more texts, each one sounding a little more desperate than the last. “Lisa, where are you? Call me.” “Look, I didn’t mean to ignore you. Can we talk?” “Please, just text me back.” Still nothing. I wanted to leave the office, to drive home and check on her, but I couldn’t. The day was a mess of meetings, project briefings, and constant back-and-forth emails. I was swamped with work, and as much as I wanted to drop everything and go, I knew I couldn’t. Not today. The company was hanging by a thread, a
