Sienna's POV'Hey, please I know I was a real bitch to you but please call me, I am miserable without you'My message sat read in Lila and I's chat. I had sent this message over an hour ago and she had read it almost immediately but she didn't say anything. Not even an attempt at typing and yes I have been watching it.A part of me is angry she just ghosted me this way and then the other part of me understands her anger. We never kept things to ourselves and now I am becoming an expert at it. I know I would have even reacted worse if it were me, I guess that is part of what makes it hurt more.I sighed for the umpteenth time this evening as I dropped my phone back on my desk. It is already 4:40pm and all I can think about is running home and crawling into my bed for the rest of the night...but no, I still have this fucked up dinner with Ethan and cancelling on him will warrant questions I don't even want to think of answering.I have got to have a change of shoes at least...two more h

Sienna's POV"Brittany, time for bed," I said as I walked into the living room where she sat watching cartoons."Please, Mum, just a few minutes more, the show is almost over," she pleaded, her eyes still glued to the screen."Bed, now.""Mum...""Now, Brittany," I snapped angrily. The last thing I need after the day I had is for her to throw a tantrum."You know, Mum, I can't believe I still have to spend an extra week with you. I wish Grandma would just come get me, I don't want to stay here anymore," she yelled, storming out of the sitting room angrily, leaving me to face the cold weight of her words.If I say that didn't hurt so much, then I am a very dirty liar because that felt like being stabbed over and over again by my child.My baby doesn't want to be with me.... I am now so bad that she can literally say it to my face how much she hates being near me. Why me? Why does it have to always be me? Haven't I suffered enough?I felt the wetness on my cheeks before I even realized

Julian's POVAnd once again... I fucked up.It's like I can't just do anything right for a complete day when it comes to her. I should really stop letting my anger control my actions or I will sabotage everything.I need to do this right... it is the only way to achieve my goal at the end of these six months."I am fine, Izzy, heading home now," I answered as I headed towards the elevator.It was already pitch black outside, just a few minutes over 9 p.m., and I finally decided to go home."By this time?" she screeched over the phone, her high-pitched voice spiking the dull ache in my head."Why are you sounding like you are not used to how I work anymore?" I spat, trying to cover up my irritation at her drama."I can never get used to it because I don't even understand why you do so in the first place. It makes no sense to me. You practically own the place and it is not like the company is still coming up from scratch that we can say probably needs close follow-up. Your company is li

Sienna's POVThe words from last night wouldn't stop haunting me, I can literally hear them in my head in a baritone voice of some unhinged killer...and the fact that I can't even think of who it is from makes it even scarier.I don't want to let my mind wander to who it might be....it won't end up well for me, I already know that."Bye, Mum," Brittany murmured, rushing out before I could even respond to her like she couldn't bear to spend another second in the same car with me.They say children easily forgive, but this feels so much more than a little childish grudge and I fear what this would mean for our relationship that is barely hanging by a thread.What makes this worse is the fact that none of the ways I have tried to work on my trauma worked. It's like I am losing grip of my child and I can only sit and watch....it feels like a different type of death that I can't even explain.****The company was eerily quiet today...it's not like it is always noisy or anything, but there

Julian's POV"Mags, I don't...." I tried to come up with a lie, but she wasn't having it."I am not asking, Julian, you can't be in a relationship with someone for how many months now and I have not met her, and what even makes it more absurd is the fact that I am the reason you both met and now you are hoarding her."Hoarding her? More like preventing a temporary person from coming close to my home and my life."It is not like that, Mags, Sienna is a really busy woman, it is even hard to get some time with her myself." I lied, keeping my face straight, but Mags' eyes told me she already knew exactly what I was trying to do.I guess lying to a woman who has known and taken care of you since diapers is a lot harder than it looks."You better not come home for dinner without her, Julian," she stated, not even leaving any room for negotiation.How the fuck do I get Sienna to come over for dinner without giving her the wrong signals....nice one, Mags. ****

Julian's POVI don't know how on earth someone has been leaking vital information about this company without anyone finding out, and from my findings, this has been happening right under my nose for over a year now, and I am just finding out. I am not sure how things got this far, but what I know is that I am so going to fucking kill somebody."We had a spy in the company that has been leaking vital company information to Ethan's company," the words sounded bitter to me, like I am in some kind of sick dream I can't seem to wake up from."What?...how come?" Sienna exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock.I don't know why, but a part of me felt it was okay to tell her, which doesn't make any sense to me when I couldn't even tell my most trusted employee, Leah...something about the way she watched me when she asked the question made me feel...safe?"I don't know, before I even got here this morning, I was already ambushed with mails and calls, and then I arrived at work to find out that mo
