Chapter 12Dinner had been torture.Three hours of polite conversation and expensive wine while Sienna tried not to look at Landon. Three hours of Noah's hand on her thigh under the table while his brother sat across from them, eating in silence.Three hours of pretending everything was normal.Now they were back in the master bedroom. Noah hummed softly as he unbuttoned his shirt, completely at ease. Completely unaware."That was nice," he said, hanging his shirt in the closet. "Quiet. Peaceful. Just what we needed."Sienna sat on the edge of the bed, still in her sundress. He was handsome. Kind. Safe.So why did she feel like she was suffocating?"Come here," Noah said softly, sitting beside her.He reached for her hand. His fingers were warm and gentle. Nothing like the fire that burned through her when Landon touched her cheek."I know today was hard," he said. "With Landon being... Landon. But we're okay."She didn't feel okay."Sienna," he said, his voice dropping lower. "Look a

Chapter 14The phone rang at seven in the morning.Sienna woke to Noah's gentle voice talking business in the hallway. Something about contracts and urgent meetings. His tone was apologetic, stressed in a way she rarely heard.She found him in the kitchen twenty minutes later, already dressed. His suitcase sat by the door."I'm so sorry," he said, pulling her into his arms. "Emergency at the company. I have to fly back to the city."Relief flooded through her, followed immediately by guilt."How long?" she asked."Few days. Maybe a week." He cupped her face in his hands. "I hate leaving you here alone with him."Him. Not Landon. Not my brother. Just him."I'll be fine," she said."I know you will. You're strong." He kissed her forehead. "Maybe this will be good for you two. Time to work things out."If only he knew."Call me every day," he said. "Promise?""Promise."She watched from the window as his car disappeared. Watched until there was nothing but empty road and waves.Then she

Chapter 16The quiet hurt worse than screaming.Sienna stared at the ceiling. The storm outside died but inside her everything still raged. Still tearing her apart.Her skin burned where he touched her ear. Where he whispered those words. *You'll be in my bed before Noah even unpacks.*She pressed her hands to her face. Tried to push it away. But it stuck. Like poison in her blood.She couldn't stay here. Couldn't lay in this bed wanting things she shouldn't want. Thinking about his hands. His mouth. What it would feel like to let him ruin her completely.She needed water. Needed to move. Needed something that wasn't his voice in her head.The stairs creaked in the dark. Everything felt different at night. More dangerous. Like the rules didn't apply.She was filling a glass when she saw him.Landon. Sitting at the table like he'd been waiting. Bottle of whiskey in front of him. No shirt because he knew what it did to her. Moonlight cut across his chest. Made everything look silver and

Chapter 18Car tires crunched on gravel outside.Sienna's heart stopped. Then started beating so fast she thought it might explode.Noah was back.She sat on the couch pretending to read but the words made no sense. Nothing made sense anymore. Not since last night. Not since she let Landon touch her.The front door opened. Happy footsteps. Light and eager."Sienna? I'm home!"His voice sounded so normal. So trusting. Like he had no idea his fiancée gave herself to his brother.She forced herself to stand. To walk to the hallway. To paste a smile on her face that felt like broken glass.Noah stood there with his suitcase and flowers. Yellow roses. Her favorite. He remembered even while he was away working."Hey beautiful." He dropped his bag and pulled her into his arms. Kissed her cheek soft and sweet. "God I missed you."She hugged him back. Tried to feel something. Anything. But all she felt was hollow. Wrong."I missed you too." The lie tasted bitter.He pulled back to look at her.

Chapter 20Sienna woke up with Carmen's sounds still echoing in her head.The way she moaned his name. The way Landon groaned in response. The way they moved together on the same counter where he'd had her just days ago.Stop. Stop thinking about it.Early morning light filtered through the curtains. Noah slept beside her, breathing deep and even. Peaceful. Trusting.Everything she wasn't.But something had shifted overnight. The tears had dried up. The breaking had stopped. In their place was something harder. Sharper. Maybe this was who she'd become. The kind of woman who could split herself in two. One half playing the perfect fiancée. The other half burning for a man who'd never be hers.If Landon wanted to play games, fine. She could play too.She went to the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. Red eyes. Messy hair. She looked broken.No more.She washed her face. Fixed her hair. Put on makeup carefully. Just enough to hide the damage.By the time she went downstairs, s
