Chapter 11

~ Sienna’s POV ~“Sienna! Where are you?SIENNA!”Vincent’s singsong voice echoes through every corner of the house as he looks for me, like I’m some toy he wants to play with.My breathing turns shallow when I hear him getting closer and closer to the closet I’m hiding in.Soon, the cabinet doors fly open, and Vincent stands in front of me with a twisted smile on his face.“Got you.”Oh no.His hand grabs my hair as he yanks me out of the closet. I try to fight back. I always do, even though it never works.“How dare you talk back to me?”“Vincent, enough.”“You’re useless,” he says. I can’t see his face, but I can feel him. His hands on my head. “I’m the reason you are who you are today. I am the reason your sister has a shot at life, and you dare talk back to me?!”“Vincent, that’s enough, please,” I beg, because that’s what I always do.I beg.And he laughs.“You think you can act however you want because my father favours you?

~ Sienna’s POV ~ Time passes so quickly, as though the entire universe is on my side. I have been awake for the past ten minutes, sitting on my bed and trying to distract my mind from thinking about what I’m about to do.

This time, it is someone new with tired eyes and a name tag that says “Maria.” “Good morning, Miss Hayes,” she greets with a smile. I respond with a smile of my own. She tells me that she is here to accompany me for my tests before helping me into a wheelchair. Not that I need it, but she insists.

~ Alistair’s POV ~“No, I’m here to ask you to marry me.”The words hang between us, and for a second, nothing happens. She just stares at me like I’ve suddenly grown two goddamn heads.Her eyes go wide. Her mouth opens. Then closes and opens again, like her brain is lagging behind her ears, trying to catch up, trying to make sense of something that doesn’t make sense.I’m not surprised by her reaction. I know exactly how this sounds. How it looks.I know exactly how fucking insane it is to walk into a hospital room and drop a proposal like it’s a business pitch.But what I don’t expect is what the look in her eyes does to me.She is so different from ten years ago.Fuck.I can’t think about that. Not right now. Not when I need her to say yes to this.Because this is the only way to get what I want, although that is not entirely the reason.Suddenly, she starts laughing. Actually laughing.
