All Chapters of Rescue in his arms : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

SIENNA’S POV:“Are you trying to make a mess of my day, or is this just a talent of yours?” Sebastian yelled, glaring daggers at me, his face red with anger. His hand gripped the coffee cup and the next second it was tumbling right at me, leaving me a split second to dodge it. I missed it by an inch, but a few shards of glass still managed to slice through my skin, causing me to bleed. I winced at the sudden pain, confusion clouded my thoughts as I wondered what the reason for his outburst was this time around. Yet, I held back, I couldn’t even utter a single word of protest. “Making a cup of coffee isn’t rocket science. You can’t just do anything right” He snapped, his voice tight with an edge of annoyance. His jaw was tight, an evidence of how angry he was. I stood there, silent, arms at my sides, letting his words roll over me without any form of reaction. I’d learned long ago that fighting back was a lost cause. The more I stayed quiet, the more his ego seemed to crack.He shot t

Zane's Pov:“Sir… um are you listening?” The project manager who was presenting asked, drawing my attention.I blinked, training my indifferent gaze on him. “Yes, and it sounded like it was written by a third grader.” I paused, gauging his reaction. “Get me something perfect by the next meeting, or kiss your job goodbye.” His face turned pale, as sweat dripped down his forehead. “Ok… Sir” He replied with a shaky voice, quickly returning to his seat.“Next,” I said curtly, ignoring the fearful glance they were all casting at me.A young man with thick glasses walked to the front, his body tensed with each step.“Umm, sir… the.. project at.. no the project…” He stammered.“Stop!” I barked out, the sound of his stuttering grating on my nerves. “So I have no single competent project manager, just a bunch of incompetent fools? No need to continue with the meeting, get me something good by next week, or else!” I stood up and stormed out of the room, leaving them shaking in their seats.I s

ZANE:“Grandpa, how could he come back from God knows where and you just hand over the company to him?” Eric my cousin ranted, shooting me a fierce glare which I just met with an indifferent look.This was the last place I wanted to be, but grandpa had been on my neck for days to attend this meeting.I knew it was going to be the same old complaints and protests about me being the acting CEO. And my expectations were not cut short.I'd been sitting there for about 30 minutes, and felt like my ears were bleeding out already. I let my eyes wander round the room for the nth time, completely zoning them out.The study was carefully arranged in its decor. There were floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lining one wall, complete with a sliding ladder. A large oak desk sits near a tall window, organized with files, documents and a freshly brewed cup of tea.A cozy wingback chair in the corner, paired with a side table, invites quiet reading, while potted green plants and soft curtains add life and l

Sienna: My eyes suddenly met a burning gaze at the far end of the room. I couldn't hear anyone around me, I was lost in those eyes oblivious to everything around me. The only thing I could feel was a weird flip in my stomach.“Him?” I muttered.“Nana?” Grandpa Hayes’s firm hand on my shoulder snapped me back.I blinked, snapping towards his face. My heart was racing as reality set in.When I turned to the crowd again, he was gone. My eyes searched through the sea of faces, searching and a small part of me–hoping–but he was nowhere to be seen. It was as if he was never there.Was I imagining things?“Are you okay child?” My grandpa stepped forward, scanning my face. His weathered face was lined with concern and his brows scrunched up in worry.I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the attention on me: the stares, the murmurs. Every eye seemed glued to my every move. Damn. This was awkward.“I'm okay, just surprised that the watch is worth much to you,” I said, my voice tighter tha

ZANE:“Is she like an ex lover or something?” Alex asked, blocking my line of vision with his head.He's been at my place since he arrived, not like they didn't have their own place over here, they did–but Alex just loved being a pain in my ass.He had even followed me to the office and had been bugging me for a while now about Sienna's identity.I had just remained silent, acting as if he was just a gust of wind in the room.“Too bad she's married, I would've shot my shot. She is pretty as hell, her hair, her eyes…” I cut him off with a kick in his knees to which he yelped out in pain.“Shut it!” I growled, glaring daggers at him.“Ohh, you're protective of her” He raised a brow in a teasing manner.“Shut it Santoro!” I gritted my teeth. It looked like my kick was not hard enough.“I won't until you tell me who she fucking is! And why she has you all bothered. She's a married woman dude!” He yelled back, adopting a serious expression.“Fuck what do you want me to tell you? That she's
