บททั้งหมดของ The Billionaire’s Ex-Wife’s Second Chance: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Sienna’s pov“Congratulations,” someone said to me as I smiled at the person and nodded while welcoming guests.Anthony soon joined me. “Well. This is a beaut.”“You like it?” I asked as he nodded. “Better than I expected.”I looked around. “More than a hundred guests, and all of them invited through an electronic means I see.”He nodded. “I just wanted them to see how important you are to me.”I gave him a smile.“Fine. How about we enjoy this party? I mean, we can do that, can’t we?”“Yes, we can.”I talked to some of the senators who congratulated me, talked to some of the politicians who Anthony said was a huge deal, and when I was done talking to more than twenty people, I started to get exhausted. Greeting people and smiling, acting like they actually mattered to me hurt me in a different way to know these were all strangers. No single family member here or friends to celebrate with me. But I didn’t stop smiling.“Sir,” someone said to Anthony as I overheard. “Someone wants to

Sienna’s povI gradually winced at the sensation of sunlight streaming through the window. I shook my head, sensing a pounding headache. What’s happened last night? Glancing around I noticed Anthony standing near the window, his back turned to me, arms crossed, gazing outside. I groaned to catch his attention, getting him to turn and look at me.“You’re up, " he said.His green eyes lacked any warmth. They appeared cold as if something had happened during my sleep. I glanced around the room.Where was I, I wondered. This wasn’t my room.He shrugged. "You’re in my room. Normally we would take you to the hospital after you lost consciousness but I instructed the doctor against it. It was better for you to remain here than be carried out on a stretcher.”“What happened?" I asked. I made an effort to raise myself. He extended his hand to stop me.“Stop. You’re just worsening the situation.”"What, for? What happened?"I feared the worst. He drew in a breath through his teeth and then sto

Xander’s povI let out a heavy breath and stood up walking back and forth. “What if I returned to the penthouse and tried talking to her?”Diane looked away from me. It was obvious she was angry now. Then she stood up. Threw the pizza she was holding back into the box.“You know what? I was thrilled to see you this morning. Now my spirits are crushed. I even caught you off guard in bed. Attempted to compensate for how badly yesterday’s matter had gone. Yet you remain fixated on that girl. I’ve done everything to help you feel at ease, to bring you peace, to help you unwind. Nothing is working. So I’m going to let you stew over your Sienna issue. You'll take care of it yourself while I look for a boy toy to accompany me for the remainder of the day. I'm heading out shopping. Normally I can't shop with you since you're scared of being spotted with me in public.”“Diane…”“No.” She stopped me. "I’m done. Go see Sienna. Perhaps this time you’ll finally get your wish of losing a tooth. It

Anthony’s povI rubbed my temple while listening to Randy, but he wasn’t done yet. “She already went through a bad marriage, don’t ruin this one for her. It will only take a second. You still need to take her out to dinner. Put the whole package in there. Tell her you truly love her.”“That seems like a lot of work.”“It is. The press is going to be around for sure. I’m sure Xander is out there plotting something. Speaking of Xander, I thought you invited him. I could hear a fight brewing in my head while I was drunk. I was thinking that maybe he showed up last night at the party.”“He did show up and he tried to get physical with Sienna. So I had to step in.”“Oh, good. You had him kicked out.”“I did more than that. He has a red bruise to prove it.”“Oh, come on, Anthony. You’re far bigger than the guy. You could have killed him.”I could have.”I looked at my phone, then checked the time. It was after two.“I have to go for this meeting. I also have to prepare for this dinner that

Anthony’s pov“Yes sir, I also helped her with her makeup. She is ready now.”I gave a nod. "Thanks, Greta.”She gave a nod before she stepped outside.I stood up switched off the A.C. and left the room. When I reached her room I saw the door was partly open. I knocked lightly before pushing it open and found her looking at me with wide eyes and to be honest, she was the most stunning woman I had ever laid eyes on at that instant.Her hair fell over her shoulders giving her an appearance of that of a movie star. The black gown she wore clung to her waist accentuating the curves needed to capture everyone's attention in the restaurant. She also had on heels that looked both cozy and uncomfortable at the same time. At that moment I mentally noted to bring slippers so she would be at ease, throughout our date.Her face… she looked stunning wearing makeup. Without it she was lovely. With it she was looking really sharp.“What? Do I look bad?" she asked as I knew I was still looking.“You
