Playing Wife

Sienna’s POV“There’s going to be a charity gala tonight,” Desmond said, flipping open a thick folder as if it were more interesting than me. It wasn’t. His eyes kept drifting back to me every few seconds, like he was checking if I was still there or if I’d vanish the moment he blinked.I leaned my hip against his desk. “I think you should button up, Mr. Desmond.”A barely-there smile tugged at one corner of his lips. “I think you should start calling me sweetheart, actually. Or something romantic.” He planted both hands on the table, leaning forward just enough to make sure I noticed the distance he was erasing.“There’s no one here. I don’t think there's a need for that,” I said, folding my arms over my chest.“Oh, trust me. There’s a need,” he murmured. Then he tilted his head slightly. “Is that why you’re blocking my view?”I raised an eyebrow. “View of what? ”His gaze dropped, not subtly, to my cleavage, lined neatly in the fitted bodycon top I knew I shouldn’t have worn if I wa

Drama Unfolding

Sienna’s POV I heaved a long sigh as I lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling like it held the answer to my entire life. I thought this phase would be simple like writing out the alphabet. Predictable. Straight lines. No surprises. But life never listens, and with Desmond in the picture, everything was turning into a complicated essay with missing punctuation. My phone chimed. A part of me definitely not the part I’d ever admit out loud expected it to be Gabriel. But it wasn’t. An unknown number blinked across my screen. Hello. Just that. One word. I stared at it like it would suddenly rearrange itself into the explanation for the strange, conflicting feelings I’d been battling ever since Desmond kissed the back of my hand last night like it was the most natural thing in the world. I typed back, "Hi." My screen lit up with the familiar three dots of someone typing. It’s Claribel. I’m texting with my sister’s phone. Oh. Of course. Claribel. Before I could respond,

A gentle Kiss

Sienna’s POV “You look really good, Sienna.” The words rolled off his tongue so easily, so smoothly, like he’d said them a hundred times before. But coming from him, Desmond, it hit differently. My cheeks warmed almost immediately. I tried to look anywhere but at him, my reflection in the car window suddenly the most interesting thing in the world. He was already walking ahead, opening the car door for me like some old-school gentleman straight out of a movie. “Thank you,” I muttered, barely audible. The faintest smile tugged at the corner of his lips, but he didn’t say anything. He just waited, patient and composed, the night air wrapping around us like velvet. When I finally slipped into the car, I caught his reflection in the rearview mirror as he rounded the hood. His stride was confident and unhurried, but every step seemed calculated, like he knew exactly how to make a woman’s pulse race. And God, that cologne. That mix of spice and something musky, clean, and mas

Who Is She Married To?

Gabriel’s POV“You can’t tell me what to do, Gabriel!” Sylvia’s voice rang through the house like a siren, sharp and piercing. “I brought up a discussion, and now you’re deflecting, trying to blame it on me!”Before I could say another word, she grabbed the plates on the counter and flung them across the kitchen. The sound of shattering porcelain echoed through the house. I froze for a second, watching her chest heave in anger. This wasn’t the first time she’d lost control like this, but every time it happened, it still startled me.The house was in chaos, and right then, little Aria came running down the stairs, her small feet padding across the tiles. She clung to my leg, her big brown eyes brimming with fear.“Daddy… Can you please tell Mommy to stop?” She whispered, her voice trembling. “She’s scaring me.”My heart clenched. I crouched down, brushing a tear from her cheek. “Go to bed, sweetie. Daddy will talk to Mommy now, alright?”She nodded reluctantly, her eyes darting to Sylv

The Other Man

Gabriel’s POVMy phone rang. The loud buzz jolted me awake, dragging me out of the drowsy fog I had been sinking into. I reached for it, squinting at the screen.A reminder.“Damn,” I muttered under my breath, rubbing my red, tired eyes as I sat up properly on the chair. My back ached from how awkwardly I had slumped into it after dinner.I had almost dozed off; hell, I did doze off. I was that tired. My tie was still hanging loosely around my neck, my shoes still on my feet, and socks too. I hadn’t even loosened the top button of my shirt. Exhaustion had won this round.If it hadn’t been for that reminder, I would’ve slept through the whole evening and forgotten the damn charity gala night.I dragged myself up from the chair, running my hand over my face. Sylvia must have started getting ready by now, I thought. She was always particular about her appearance, especially for events where she could shine, where cameras flashed and people whispered her name in admiration.I climbed the

Why Did You Choose Him?

Sienna’s POVI was shocked by Desmond. I genuinely didn’t expect the kiss. I knew we were to act like couples, but kissing in public? Was definitely not part of what I saw coming. in front of a swarm of flashing cameras. The lights from the paparazzi burst like tiny explosions around us, shouts from reporters rolling across the carpet like waves. But to be honest, at that moment, none of those things mattered.What mattered was Desmond’s lips. It was soft, warm, and deliberate, moving against mine with a confidence that sent a jolt of electricity through every one of my nerve endings. My entire body reacted before my brain could catch up. The world dimmed around us, even with all the blinding lights.And then there were his hands… resting around my waist, possessive yet gentle, grounding me in a way that almost felt dangerous.I swear I felt a jolt in every fucking nerve ending. After a moment, he pulled back. His eyes stayed locked on mine, and a sly smirk curved across his lips. It

Storm Between Them

Sienna’s POVI didn’t expect him to actually ask me that question. Not in this lifetime. Not after everything.Gabriel looked at me with those familiar storm-grey eyes, the same eyes that once held promises he never kept, the same eyes that used to make my knees weak. Now they just made my stomach twist.“I’m surprised you even have the nerve,” I said, bitterness sliding off my tongue before I could stop it. “You ask me that like I’m still married to you… like you caught me cheating.”His jaw tightened. “Sienna, that’s not—”“Oh, spare me.” I folded my arms because if I didn’t, I was afraid I’d actually shove him. “Are you playing a game with me, Gabriel? What kind of fucking question is that?”I tried to lower my voice, but anger clawed up my throat like wildfire. The hallway suddenly felt too tight, the air too thick with everything we never resolved.He took a slow step toward me. “There are billions of men in the world, Sienna,” he said, his tone calmer now, almost too calm. “So w

My Comeback

Sienna’s POVI placed my tiny palm on Desmond’s big, warm hand. His fingers curled around mine, firm but gentle, like he was instinctively shielding me from everything around us. The warmth that spread through my skin was instant, almost too instant. He held my hand with a kind of protectiveness that felt territorial… predatory… like I was something he had already claimed without asking for my permission.Gabriel stood a few feet away, silently watching us. It wasn’t regret in his eyes, not exactly. Regret would’ve been easier to understand, easier to swallow. What I saw instead was rage. A cold, controlled kind of fury that masked every remaining emotion I couldn’t name. He didn’t speak. He didn’t blink. He just stood there, shoulders stiff, jaw clenched, like the world around him had gone still.And when Desmond and I turned to leave, Desmond paused mid-stride. He looked over his shoulder, his expression unreadable but sharp enough to cut glass.“I don’t want to ever see you close t

Secrets About to Be Unraveled

Gabriel’s POVI'd heard of Mammax Fashion before everyone in the industry had. It was one of those brands that came out of nowhere and suddenly dominated every runway, every magazine cover, and every influencer’s feed. But despite all that, I never cared enough to look into who the CEO was. It wasn’t supposed to matter.So when Mr. Rodriguez’s voice echoed across the hall and he called Sienna Johnson the CEO, I froze.For a moment, I genuinely thought I misheard him.My eyes shot straight to her standing there wide-eyed and stunned, the spotlight catching every curve of her body in that damn dress. Everything in me stalled. She didn’t just marry my competitor, my enemy since senior year; she also owned a multi-million-dollar company?My jaw clenched so hard it hurt. I felt like a fool. A blind, arrogant fool.I turned to Sylvia, expecting confusion, surprise… anything. But she was bubbling like she had been waiting for this moment. Her eyes were bright with something I couldn’t place,

Making Them His

Sienna’s POV I noticed Sylvia and Gabriel slipping out just after my name was announced. Typical. Sylvia, with her perfect little smile, still couldn’t stand it when I succeeded, and Gabriel… Well, his absence didn’t sting like it used to. Maybe it should’ve. But honestly? I didn’t care. Or at least, I told myself I didn’t.Let them go. Tonight wasn’t about them.The lights hit the stage, bright and unforgiving, but I didn’t flinch. My heels clicked against the polished floor as I stepped forward, and I felt a little thrill. This wasn’t some small gathering; it was the event of the season. Cameras, reporters, city elites. Even if Gabriel and Sylvia refused to see me in person, they would see me online. They would see me shine.I adjusted the microphone; it was too tall, like it was daring me to fail. I smiled, the kind of smile that said, Watch me.“Thank you, everyone,” I began, letting my voice fill the hall. “And thank you, Mr. Rodriguez, for honoring me tonight. Your support has
