Chapter 22: Secrets UnravelHe seemed weary, as if life itself had already drained all meaning from him. He stared at me with a mixture of pain, sadness, and disappointment, as though I was never meant to be here, as if everything that had happened was his fault.“Dad?” I called out in shock.He walked toward me, wiping his hands on his faded jeans. I could see the subtle bitterness in him, the echoes of the life I had left him with. I hadn’t expected to see him here. The last time I sent him money, he had sent me a threatening message: “Don’t ever send me this dirty money again.”I knew how broken I had been. I was only trying to help. I knew he missed Mum, I knew he had been disappointed in my life, but the outcome between us had left me deeply saddened. I remembered him crying over Mum when I was three—no photographs, only the words that I looked like her.“How… how are you doing?” His voice was low, careful.“Why are you here?” I asked, tears spilling down my cheeks.“I’m sorry, S

Sienna’s POVThe days passed quickly as I stayed in the hospital, clinging to the hope that my mother would call—but she never did. According to Kate, I should give her time to come around. After all, she’d been lied to, manipulated, and kidnapped.When I told Kate that Janet was my mother, she had looked surprised—shocked even—but she admitted she could see the connection, the resemblance.Nic never left my side. He brought me flowers and endless boxes of chocolates, my newest craving thanks to the babies growing inside me. I hadn’t heard much about Clara or Diana, but Nic insisted I shouldn’t stress—not for their sake, and not for mine. He was right. I needed to stay calm, to at least pretend that the chaos of the past days wasn’t eating me alive.As for my father, his absence didn’t surprise me. How could I blame him? How would you feel if the love of your life suddenly returned, only to have no memory of you—the good moments or the bad?There were things I needed to tell Ann , but

Sienna’s POVThe sharp buzz of my phone pulled me out of sleep, shattering the peaceful silence of the morning. I groaned, fumbling for it on the nightstand.“Hello…” I answered, my voice rough with sleep.“Sienna…” The voice on the other end made my heart stop. It was the voice I’d longed for, the one I’d wished would acknowledge me—my mother’s voice.“Janet?” I whispered, my throat tight with emotion.“Honey, I’m sorry I walked out on you. I just wanted to make sure you’re okay. I know so much has happened, and honestly, it’s been hard for me to believe everything. James… he’s still lying to me. It’s all a lie. Can we talk? Not on the phone, face to face, please…” Her voice cracked, sadness spilling through every word.I swallowed hard. “I’d love to see you, but I’m out of the country with Nic right now.” My eyes drifted to him. He was already awake, watching me silently, his expression unreadable.“It’s good to know you’re with him, at least. You need the break. Take your time, Sie

Sienna’s POVIt had been days without him—not many, but long enough to know something was wrong. I hadn’t seen him, and he hadn’t called or texted me. Since we returned from the trip, he left saying he would be back, but he never did. I tried reaching out to him, but I couldn’t. When I asked Kate to ask Andrew, he admitted he wasn’t sure where Nic was. The house felt empty, the maids’ eyes filled with endless pity whenever they looked at me.I tried calling Janet, but she didn’t pick up. A sinking feeling settled in my chest.Pressing my forehead lightly against the glass of my bedroom window, I missed his voice—the way it wrapped around me like a shield. Slowly, I walked back to the bed and sank into the pillows, clutching the sheets as though they could somehow hold his warmth. The mansion was too big, too cold without Nic, and every inch of me ached for his touch. I missed the way his arms wrapped around me—strong yet gentle—the way his fingertips traced my skin like I was precious

Sienna’s POVMy heart ached as the trees blurred past the taxi window, tears streaming down my face. My life felt shattered. I had never felt truly loved or cherished. I had always been a secret, always something to be shared. When I gave him my body in exchange for luxury, I never imagined it would end like this—I never imagined I’d be the consequence.Kate had called after seeing the video, which had gone viral. In less than an hour, people had torn me down. Some called me a whore, others offered faint sympathy. Some laughed at the push, some said I should be ashamed, and some labeled me a gold digger, only after Nic’s money and empire. Even worse, some said I was evil for trying to scatter Clara and Nic’s union. I felt the world closing in—but nothing hurt more than Nic’s silence. He hadn’t come for me, hadn’t even called.I loved him, and that hurt more than anything. Nic had my heart, and I was stupid for falling for a man with such an uncertain future. I had been blinded by his
