Anthony’s povFor a moment I believed my mind was deceiving me.The woman stood there like a model. Tall, confident and wearing a gown that suggested she ruled every space she entered. Tilting her head a bit to the side, a smile formed as she noticed recognition dawn in my gaze.“Anthony," she said calmly.I felt a constriction in my chest.“Amelia.”She smiled like she had won something."So you do remember me.”How could it slip my mind?She hadn’t changed much. Still breathtakingly stunning. Still the type of woman aware of her appearance and how to wield it. Her dress clung to her figure in a manner that revealed everything, her heels tapping gently on the tiled ground as she moved closer to me.“I heard you tied the knot," she dropped casually, her eyes moving to sienna. "I was quite surprised that I wasn’t informed. No invitation, nothing.”I rose gradually. Not hurried. Not surprised. Simply… calm and collected.“Amelia," I said, with confidence this time. "Why are you here?”S

Sienna’s POVThe morning came quietly. It was like the morning was being very gentle with everything being calm.All I could hear was the hum of the city below as I felt a little ache in my back. My breaths came slowly as I laid there in bed, thinking of what to do next.I thought of last night and the date with Anthony. It had not been a bad one but hey, at least we had gone somewhere that wasn’t bad. I just hated how it had ended with the strangely showing up and adding to the drama.I turned onto my side. One hand went to my stomach without thinking. The child was a weight on me. It reminded me that my life was not easy now. How it was changing my life. The baby made everything more complicated.Slowly, I pushed myself off the bed and sat on its edge. This was a new day. I wasn’t going to sit in bed all day and do nothing.I looked at my phone and picked it up from the bedside.I needed to see how much I had so I would know what I would get for myself. But the moment I opened my ba

Sienna’s POV“He put a condition that says you can’t take anything from it without his say so,”“But it’s my account.”“I know.”“That money is mine.”“I totally get it…”“No you don’t! I worked for that shit. It’s mine. Besides, does he have any restrictions on his own account?”“Not that I know of.”“I can’t believe this. That account has millions. How am I supposed to live?”“The account can’t be reopened unless both account holders are present.”“Who decided he gets control?” I asked. My voice was loud now. “Who decided that? It’s my account. I opened it and suddenly he’s an account opener? Since when. I’m the one who opened it.”“It’s standard in some marriages.”“I’m divorced,” I said. “It’s final.”“Yes, but the paperwork…”“Paperwork doesn’t get to control my life!” I slammed my hand on the desk. “He abused me. He manipulated me. And now he still decides if I eat?”He looked uncomfortable as he tried to avoid staring into my eyes. “I am really sorry,” he said as I shook my he

Sienna’s POVXander’s voice flashed in my head. Anthony’s actions. My blocked account.It took a lot within me to push away the “No’s” just so I could accept something for me.I lifted my chin. “Yes.”Her smile widened. “Good.”“But the gap…”“It won’t be a problem here.”“Really?”“Really.”She stood and offered her hand. “Submit the application. You’ll receive interview details shortly.”I shook her hand. “Thank you.”“No,” she said. “Thank you for taking the chance.”She walked me back to the elevator. “Congratulations in advance, Sienna.”I laughed softly. “I’ll try not to jinx it.”The doors closed.I was alone in the elevator. Going down in silence.I started to think of why the future would offer me as I smiled. I finally had a job. Or would have a job. It made me smile wider as the door opened and I walked out feeling better than I had shown up.***I walked into my home.The penthouse was quiet. Really quiet. It felt strange. I had expected noise. Something. Anything. But the

Sienna’s POVThe sunlight came into my room through the curtains. It was not very bright. I was in bed looking at the ceiling. I could feel the city moving outside my room. It was very calm. I just laid there thinking about nothing in particular. My mind started to notice the designs in the ceiling. I had no idea what I would do today with my life. What I wanted to achieve. My life was made up of things I had to do, things I had promised to do and things people expected from me. It felt like I do not have the freedom I was craving for. I slowly started to think about Anthony and the penthouse and how safe I was when I was here. Anthony was always looking out for me to make sure I had all I wanted. That was a lot to handle. He had done much for me more than anyone else would do but sometimes I felt uncomfortable. I did not feel this way because I wasn’t grateful to him. I was really thankful. I stayed there for a bit. The silence was really quiet until I could not ignore the tigh
