...Siena stepped out of the car with an air of confidence and approached Kimberly with a smirk playing on her lips. "Sorry, I snagged your spot by mistake. You don't mind, do you?"Before Kimberly could respond, Daniel interjected, "This spot is not anyone's property. If you want it, no one's got a problem with that."He shot Kimberly a warning glance, and Henry chimed in, "Don't worry about my mom. Her car is ugly and out of place anyway."Kimberly's blood ran cold. She had nurtured Henry for four years, pouring all her love and care into raising him. Yet, here he was, defending Siena and looking down on her with such disdain.Daniel grabbed Siena's arm and raised an eyebrow. "Come on, check out the room I set up for you. It's right next to mine."Henry cheered, "Hooray! I've got a playmate from now on. Siena is good at any game, unlike my mom. She is so boring."Daniel glanced at Kimberly, his expression unreadable. Then, as if remembering something, he said, "Oh, Siena's lea

...Daniel froze, unaccustomed to Kimberly's refusal.She had always bent over backward to accommodate even his most unreasonable requests. But now, her defiance hung in the air, a palpable shift that left him at a loss.Siena sighed affectedly, "My bad. I'm already a hassle staying here, and now I'm asking for fresh food."She stood to leave.Henry clenched his fists and cried out, "You're a bad mom! You can't bully Siena!"He lunged at Kimberly, his hands striking her arms in a childish tantrum.Daniel stopped Siena, turning to Kimberly. His eyes flashed with irritation. "You're still mad about this morning? She borrowed my charger, as I told you. Why are you making a big deal out of it?"Kimberly remained unfazed. "I'm not feeling well. I don't have the energy to cook.""You're sick?" Henry paused, his anger momentarily forgotten.Then he covered his mouth with his hands and complained, "Why didn't you say so earlier? What if you get Siena sick? Her health is poor."He tu

...Daniel turned, his worry for Siena intensifying with every passing second."I'm fine," she muttered weakly. "Just a dizzy spell from seeing blood. Don't worry about me. Kimberly needs you more.""But your face is bloodless," Henry shouted. "Dad, hurry! Let's get her to the hospital. The car stopped in time. Mom's just acting to get your attention."Daniel's gaze shifted to Kimberly, doubt creeping into his mind like a shadow. He was torn until Siena groaned softly.Losing reason, he rushed to her side, helped her up, and headed to the car. Passing Kimberly, he covered Siena's eyes and looked away.His conscience gnawed at his heart with every step he took. He stammered, "Siena has always been frail. I can't risk her health. I called 911. Help is coming. Hang on."Their footsteps faded into the distance, leaving Kimberly alone and abandoned on the cold, hard ground.She tried to laugh at the irony of the situation, but blood trickled from her lips.When the stretcher arrive

...A company gala was in full swing.As Daniel's companion, Siena dressed up and clung to his arm.Kimberly, on the other hand, hadn't even received an invitation. But she came anyway with a single purpose: to deliver the custody waiver.Her flight was scheduled to depart in just two hours, and time was of the essence. She navigated through the crowded ballroom for any sign of Margaret.Then the stage lights flared dramatically, revealing Daniel standing at the center, flanked by Siena and Henry.The employees whispered below, "Guess the rumors are true. Our boss is a romantic, always tied to the same woman.""Isn't he already married?""Yeah, to some small-town nobody. No feelings there. Siena is his true love."Kimberly ignored the whispers and continued her search. She even checked the stairwell, but Margaret was nowhere to be seen.As she turned back, Siena's voice came. "Did you even get an invite? Only one companion is allowed per guest. Guess who won? Me."Her gentle

...Daniel's eyes widened in disbelief. "What? How is that possible? You sure?"The assistant stammered, "We checked many times and confirmed it, sir. There's no record of a marriage license between you and Ms. Miles."Daniel's mind went blank. The phone slipped from his hand and fell to the floor with a dull thud.He couldn't comprehend it. Kimberly had joined the Carter family as his wife. That was undeniable. It didn't make any sense.Then a realization struck him, and he pounded the couch in regret.Consumed by his obsession with Siena, he had dismissed Kimberly's reminders about the license, citing work, and eventually forgot it.Pain gripped him as he grasped the gravity of the situation. He ordered his assistant to find Kimberly while racking his brain for clues, but his mind drew a blank.After five years of marriage, he seemed to know nothing about her. He didn't know her favorite food, her hobbies, or even her parents' names.With her number gone, he had lost all con
