*SIENNA*"Alexander, what exactly do you want from me? Why do you keep hurting me this way? You proposed marriage and I accepted. You asked for a divorce and I didn't fight it. Still, you won't leave me alone. You have Kate now but you're here messing with my feelings...do you seriously want two women?" Tears streamed down my face...I couldn't stop them.He was driving me crazy and I'm tired of it He knelt before me and dried my face with a handkerchief.His touch was so gentle and it only made me cry harder.When he acted like this...I felt myself falling deeper in love with him...When he was this soft...he completely melted my heart.And ultimately...I'd be left heartbroken again. But I couldn't continue this cycle anymore.I pushed his hand aside and got up."Alexander, please go." I whispered.I was shocked when he didn't argue…Instead, he began buttoning his shirt, looking at me warmly while he did.Good night." He said, grabbing his suit jacket.He walked toward the door an

*SIENNA*I returned to the baby's bedroom and settled into a chair next to his bed.I simply wanted to watch him sleep.If my children were still alive...What would their lives look like right now?I pictured taking them on strolls...feeding them and humming lullabies to them.Elvis somehow eased the ache of losing my babies.And over the next few days, I acted exactly like his mother.I became incredibly attached to him and he seemed to prefer being in my arms too.He would constantly pat my cheeks with his tiny fingers.He was such a sweet baby who enjoyed eating...sleeping...playing and giggling.It broke my heart whenever he cried.There was one occasion when I was in the kitchen preparing his food and he tumbled over in the living room.I felt terrible trying to calm him down.It was 9 pm and I'd finally gotten Elvis to fall asleep.I worried the TV might disturb him so I grabbed a magazine to read instead.Suddenly I heard footsteps and my heart jumped.Someone had entered the

*SIENNA*Who’s a good boy?” I whispered as I made my way down the stairs with Elvis in my arms. I couldn’t help smiling when I saw Benita arranging the living room.“Oh, you’re back. How are you feeling?” I asked.She grinned back at me . “I’m fine now. I can see that you and Elvis got along nicely.I smiled down at the baby in my arms.Yes… we did.”“Breakfast is ready,” she told me.I nodded and walked into the dining room with Elvis.I saw Alexander wearing a white shirt… he was sitting there, holding a newspaper in his hand.He didn’t look at me… and I didn’t say hey to him.“Dada… dada…I realized he was trying to say “daddy,” and it was such a joy to hear.Alexander set his newspaper aside and smiled at his little boy.“My little prince is awake… Did you sleep well?” He reached out and ruffled his hair softly. I brought the baby’s specially prepared breakfast and tried to feed him, but he kept tilting his head away.“Come on, Elvis… you have to eat.” I urged, but he still didn

*SIENNA*Oh… please, come in. Elvis is asleep at the moment.” Benita led me inside.I stopped the baby’s bed in the living room.I crept over and gazed at the sweet little guy.He was resting soundly on his side…“Miss Vale, would you like to have some juice?” Benita offered.“Yes, please.” I stepped away from the bed and settled on the sofa.Benita came into the living room and gave me a glass of juice.When I had been away for a few days, I was afraid Elvis might have a hard time adjusting to not seeing me. I was relieved that he seemed comfortable with your presence.”I smiled.I wanted to spend time with him every single day."So...have you been looking after him since he was born?" I asked carefully."Actually...I started working here right after Mr Graves adopted him."Yes...he mentioned that to me...who could possibly abandon such a sweet child?""I wonder the same thing. What were his birth parents thinking?""Do you know which orphanage Mr Graves got him from?" I asked with c

*SIENNA*I didn’t want Ethan to get into trouble because of me, so I swallowed my pride and pleaded with Lena to let it go…Lena, please…I’m sorry. He didn’t mean to hurt you. It was an accident. If you’re angry, direct it at me.She scoffed. “So you expect me to just ignore the fact that your lover laid a hand on me?The murmurs around us grew louder.Why was she so intent on disgracing me completely?“If you keep making these claims, I will deal with her. Ethan warned.She covered her face with her hand again and stepped back.You think the world centers on you because you’re wealthy and influential… you think you can silence me!” she screamed at Ethan.Two lawyers walked up and pulled Lena aside.I could hear them trying to convince her to accept a settlement.She named a hefty amount, and they agreed.She looked at me and then she left.Ethan took my hand and led me into his office.I felt embarrassed and sad as I sat down.I saw him bring over a first-aid kit.He came closer and
