"Miss Waters?"'Though she gave me an idea last night, it doesn't look like I can imply it. If he would have cared for me even a bit, I could have taken a chance but...'"Miss Waters?" Maria looked at Sienna closely, getting no response from her she put her hand on her shoulder this time. "Miss Waters?""Yes!" Suddenly, Sienna stood up from the swing and held her three fingers together. "I am here, sir.""Miss, it's me... " Noticing Maria looked at her in confusion, she cleared her throat and asked, "You were saying something?""Yes, Mr. Pierce called you to his study.""Ok, I see. You go back to work."Sienna looked at the distance, though she has been living here for a few weeks only everything here seemed to accept her sooner including the garden. Knock! "Come in."Entering his study, she walked as quietly as she could to make sure that she wouldn't make a sound. There were no certain rules that she couldn't go somewhere in the mansion but it was her first time to go to his stud

"Stop right there!"Sienna stood for a moment and looked at the men who kept running after her, struggling with a few breaths. "Damn it! I can't run anymore, I'm almost off breaths. These puppets of Lovell keep chasing me...""Can't run anymore? Were you not all up for a marathon? You... Hey! Why are you running again?"Taking out her phone, she looked for a number she could call but with only the three numbers saved in her phone, she only could sigh. There, Maria was busy cleaning some furniture while humming continuously. With nobody around, she started dancing and singing on a loud volume. Suddenly as she heard someone cough, she turned to look at the person and her face dropped. "Mr. Soles."Haider smiled teasingly and looked at the stairs, "Is the President in his study?""No, he was in his study earlier. He might have gone back to his room now.""Alright, thank you.""M-Mr. Soles?""Yeah?""Uhmm..." She shyly held onto the cloth and smiled meekly, "Well, you didn't see anythin

Walking in his office, Sienna put down her bag on the sofa as she questioned Athena. "I dare to do a lot more than this, who are you?""You... Don't you know before coming to your boss's office you should knock first? Far more, you seem to be lost too." Athena shot, glaring at her with angry eyes."Miss, may I know who you are?"Getting a little closer to Aston who seemed to be a little shocked, she raised her head proudly. "I am Athena Dickens, who are you?""Miss Dickens, this is office time. Before coming here, one needs to make an appointment. May I know if you...""I need no appointment letter, it's not your chance to talk about it either." Saying so, she stood next to Aston and looked at him confidently. "I have something to talk to with your boss, you leave us alone."'I am trying to help him, why doesn't he show any reaction yet? Anyway, since I've already pointed the gun at her I might as well pull the triggers.'"Love, should I leave now?" Ignoring her gaze, Sienna stared at

Looking outside the car window, Sienna leaned her face against the seat and let out a sigh. So many things have happened to her in the past month, she was tired. "I will give you some time to think about it, let me know your decision by midnight." The words he said this afternoon played in her ears like a song and she hugged her arms. As the car stopped at the destination, Haider headed outside and opened the car door for her. "Miss Waters."Sienna gazed at the tall and beautifully decorated building at a close distance, it was her first time coming here but the tension in her head was not about it. 'Mr. Pierce told me to come here to attend an event with him, I am sure it's not a business party or else I would have found the details about it first but it doesn't look like a family gathering either. Why are we here for then... 'Letting out a sigh, as she headed out of the car suddenly her legs lost balance and Haider gave her a hand. "Miss Waters, be careful.""Thank you, Sir Sol

Sienna kept walking, casting glances around. Not seeing him anywhere as far as her eyes could go, she bit her finger. "Strange, I kept checking everywhere but I didn't even see a strand of his hair. This place is so huge, how can I find him? I need to tell him about his father planning something big tonight so he can be careful.""Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to be here tonight." Turning towards the direction the voice just came from as she saw a couple, her question increased in numbers. "He must be the party host. That face... Wait, he looks a bit like my boss. Is he his father? And that woman is... She is probably the one I heard about earlier."Without wasting another second, Sienna followed the crowd and blended in with them. "Hey, are you here for the same reason?" A woman on her left asked another woman.The other woman had his gaze fixated on Tony who continued with his speech. "I don't understand what you are talking about about.""I know you can unde

"Wait, what's really going on? Wasn't he unconscious? How could he just..." Sienna looked at the man running ahead of her, her curious gaze slowly moved to her hand that he was holding onto. When she thought the guards would really take her away and she wouldn't be able to help Aston, suddenly he pulled her hand and started running away. Due to the lights home, nobody knew anything about it. "Ahh!" Sienna whimpered, feeling the pain on her heels she remembered how she held onto it till now. "What's wrong?" Noticing the way she looked at her feet, he gently asked, "Does your feet hurt?""No, it's just... The stilletos were larger in size so they didn't fit... It hurts a bit..." She added, his hand still holding hers.Suddenly Aston touched her waist and she pushed him away, "Mr. Pierce, what are you doing?""I'm sorry, they will catch us in no time so we have to leave this place or at least find a place to hide as soon as possible. You are hurt, I will help you." Saying so as he pic

"I should have told Oli to pick me up since I decided to leave by myself, I can't book a cab now. It's so late already..." Letting out a sigh of regret, Sienna looked at the distance. There were two ways to go, one on the right and another one the left but no existence of a human being came to her view. "Didn't I come from way? Why am I here again? Did I perhaps mix it up..." Thinking so just as she turned toward the left, some angry voice came through from the other side. "She is right there, catch her." "Those men... Are they not the ones who were chasing after us earlier?" The moment she saw the men, her heart almost came out of her mouth. After running for long, she thought they wouldn't chase her but... "Stop running!" Without a second thought, she started running to the left. In desperate need of help, she kept looking for anyone she could find there but only the clicking sound of her heels echoed through the alleyway. "Oli..." Dialing her best friend's phone number in a

'It should be close to half an hour since they left after putting these things on me... I can't hear a sound, it looks like it's the right time.' With her eyes covered with a blindfold and her hands tied behind, Sienna couldn't see anything. After those men pushed her into the room, a woman in charge of getting her ready tried putting a dress on her but since she kept fighting back, the woman took another route. She made her faint on the spot, when Sienna woke up she found herself in a different dress and the condition of her eyes as well as her hands. With her utmost power, she tried to untie her hands. As they came off without much problem, Sienna let out a sigh of relief. Immediately taking the blindfold off her eyes, she scanned the surroundings. Except for a mirror and some small furniture here and there, there was nothing else. "They don't have a window here, if I want to run I can only focus on the main door but it shouldn't be easy since those men might... They are coming.

Holding her hand while sitting next to her on the bed, Aston kept looking at her. Unlike other times, his gaze was rather soft and agonizing. His head was aching yet he didn't blink nor did he go anywhere since she fainted."Mr. Pierce." Walking in the room, Haider called out. "Tony Pierce has been in the casino like you wanted, Miss Cunning is with him. She has already changed sides with the leader of that casino."Upon hearing him, Aston gently put her hand down on the bed and put the blanket over her. "How about his debt collectors?" "They are after him, last night he got beaten up by some people and was sent to hospital. Those people warned him that if he doesn't pay them back the money they landed with him, then they will sell his kidney." Haider replied with a proud look on his face.After getting to know that Tony was taken care of by someone else when they planned to do it by themselves, Haider couldn't be happier."How much has he lost till now?""Nearly 3 million."Tossing

"Don't come closer, stay... Stay away. Don't... No." Suddenly a helpless scream escaped her mouth and her eyes shot open. Sienna struggled to breathe, her gaze fixated on the ceiling fan as soon as she opened her eyes. Looking around as she found herself in different circumstances, she quickly got out of the bed. "They took me somewhere else, where is it? I have to run away, I..." Running towards the door as soon as she grabbed the doorknob, the door was opened from the outside and she hid in a corner. From her hiding, she watched someone enter the room and just then she threw her hands at him. "Miss Waters." Suddenly his gentle tone of voice made her look at him and her body relaxed. "It's me, Aston."Holding her hands gently, he looked at her. Sienna took a few deep breaths, as she lose her balance he grabbed her waist and pulled her close to him."Are you ok?" 'I am with Mr. Pierce, I should be safe now... Yeah, I am safe.' Just thinking that she was no longer near those men,
