Chapter 81Sienna’s POV After the chaotic encounter with Lucas and his friend Ken, I decided I was done with that entire mess. I didn’t want their troubles anywhere near Daphne or me. All I needed was to focus on my daughter, on making sure she felt loved and secure.So, the next few days, I did exactly that. I took Daphne out whenever I could, long walks, parks, small cafes. She loved every moment, and watching her smile and laugh made me feel like I was doing something right, like I was giving her the stable life she deserved.This afternoon, the air was crisp and cool, and we decided to take a stroll through the small streets near our place. Daphne held my hand, skipping along as we passed shop windows and street vendors. She pointed excitedly at everything, chattering on about anything that crossed her mind. Her joy was infectious, and I found myself smiling, forgetting all the stress that had been weighing me down.But then, out of nowhere, I felt a tug on my shoulder. I turned

Chapter 83Sienna’s PovI sat beside Daphne’s hospital bed, watching her chest rise and fall with each soft, steady breath. The doctor had assured me she’d be fine, that it was just a mild concussion. But the sight of her lying there, so small and vulnerable, tore at something deep inside me. How had things come to this? My little girl, caught up in a whirlwind of drama that had nothing to do with her.As I held her small hand, my mind kept drifting to Lisa and, inevitably, to Lucas. I’d always known that Lisa’s jealousy and possessiveness were a problem, but today she had crossed an unforgivable line. And Lucas… well, I knew this mess wasn’t entirely his fault, but that didn’t make it any easier to swallow. They had both brought chaos into our lives in ways I hadn’t anticipated, and I wasn’t sure if I could ever forgive them.After a while, I couldn’t stand sitting there any longer. The sterile hospital walls were closing in on me, the sounds of beeping monitors and distant footstep

Chapter 85Lucas’s PovThe slap still stung, both physically and emotionally. I hadn’t meant for it to happen, hadn’t meant for things to escalate the way they had. I glanced over at Lisa, her face set in a hard line, arms crossed as she looked away from me, clearly unwilling to accept any apology.“Lisa,” I said softly, breaking the silence between us. “I’m sorry. I never meant to hurt you like that. Things… they just got out of hand.”She scoffed, not even sparing me a glance. “An apology? Now, after all this? That’s what you think will fix this, Lucas?”I swallowed hard, trying to keep my frustration in check. “Look, I understand you’re upset, but you need to understand that this situation with Sienna and Daphne…”“Oh, I understand perfectly, Lucas,” she snapped, turning to face me with anger flashing in her eyes. “You’re still hung up on her, aren’t you? We’re supposed to be getting married soon, and yet here you are, caught up in her life as if you never let her go.”“It’s not a

Chapter 87 Lucas's Pov The idea of traveling had been brewing in the back of my mind for a while now. There was someone I needed to see, someone from my past who might hold the key to untangling the mess that had become my life. It wasn’t Sienna, I was trying my best to stay out of her world, just like she had asked, especially after everything that happened with Daphne. No, this was someone else entirely, someone I hadn’t spoken to in years. The thought of reaching out to them again felt like both a risk and a relief.I knew that I needed to satisfy Lisa’s worries if we were ever going to make it to the altar without completely falling apart.The rumors and the way Sienna’s name kept popping up were fueling Lisa’s doubts, and if I was being honest, it was starting to wear on me too. There was a lot we needed to address, but maybe this trip could help bring clarity.I sat down with Ken later that night, after a long day at the office, hoping for some honest advice. He was the one

Chapter 89 Sienna’s Pov“Good morning, my love,” I whispered, gently brushing Daphne’s hair out of her face as she stirred awake. Her small face broke into a sleepy smile, and she stretched, wrapping her little arms around my neck. Moments like this, the quiet, simple love between mother and daughter, made everything worth it.“Mommy, are we staying home today?” she asked, rubbing her eyes.I kissed her forehead, nodding. “Yes, sweetie. Today’s all about you.”The day flowed peacefully. After the stress of the hospital, I wanted her to feel safe and at ease, so I made her favorite breakfast and spent time playing with her. We built towers out of blocks, painted a little, and watched her favorite cartoons together. Her laughter filled the house, washing away the anxiety that had been lingering in the back of my mind.Later in the afternoon, while Daphne was taking a nap, I checked my emails. One message immediately caught my eye. It was a new partnership opportunity for my company,
