SIENNA’S POVI stood near the giant glass windows of Kane International’s grand hall, trying to catch my breath. My feet felt like they were on fire inside my high heels, and my back ached from standing straight for six hours straight. For three whole weeks, I had barely slept. I checked every single flower arrangement, tasted every single bite of food, and checked off every single name on the guest list. Our family event business was hanging on by a thread. If this one night went wrong, we would lose everything.Around me, rich people in sparkly dresses and expensive suits laughed loudly. They held glasses of champagne and looked down at me like I was just a piece of furniture. A woman in a red silk dress walked past me, dropped her empty glass right on the floor near my feet, and snapped, "Pick that up, will you? And get me another glass of sparkling water."I bit the inside of my cheek until I tasted copper. "I am the event planner, not a waitress," I said politely, forcing a smi

Sienna’s PovWhen Marcus said those magic words over the phone—Mr. Kane is willing to pay you for your time—a cold, heavy anchor dropped right into my stomach. I hated myself even for thinking about it. Dominic Kane was an arrogant, cruel monster who had ruined my life without blinking an eye. But pride doesn't pay hospital bills, and anger doesn't keep a roof over my sick mother's head."How much?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper, tasting like dust in my mouth.Marcus didn't hesitate. He named a number that made my head spin. It was enough money to pay off our back rent, save our family business from going under, and cover all of my mom's specialized medical treatments for an entire year with plenty left over. It was a fortune. It was a lifeline wrapped in a nightmare."Fine," I choked out, squeezing my eyes shut as fresh tears burned my eyelids. "Tell him I'll come. But only to hear what he has to say. I am not selling my soul, and I am not apologizing."An hour later, I found m

Sienna’s PovThe sun had not even started to rise yet when I made the most terrifying choice of my entire life. My eyes were burning from crying all night, By nine o'clock in the morning, I was back in the shiny, glass-walled lobby of Kane International. The security guards looked at me with strange eyes, probably remembering the news articles calling me a fraud. I didn't care. I kept my head held high, walked straight to the private elevator, and rode it all the way up to the top floor.Marcus was waiting for me outside the heavy mahogany doors. He didn't look surprised to see me. He just gave me a solemn nod, opened the doors, and let me walk inside alone.Dominic Kane was standing by the giant glass window again, looking out over the city just like he had the day before. He wore a sharp black suit, his dark hair neat and his posture stiff. When he heard the heavy doors click shut behind me, he slowly turned around."You're early," Dominic said, his deep voice echoing in the massi

Dominic’s PovThe front door clicked shut behind me, and I expected the usual quiet. My penthouse was supposed to be a fortress of silence, a clean and empty space where no one could ever bother me. But tonight, the air smelled like burning garlic and something sweet.I frowned, dropping my briefcase on the marble counter. Twenty-four hours. Sienna had only been living here for one single day, and already my whole routine was completely ruined.I walked down the wide hall toward the kitchen. The bright lights were on. Standing by the stove was Sienna, trying to cook her own dinner because she stubbornly refused to let my private chef make her meals. But that wasn't even the shocking part. She had somehow spilled red sauce all over her shirt, so she had taken it off and put on one of my old black dress shirts.The shirt swallowed her whole. It hung off her soft shoulders, the hem falling halfway down her thighs, leaving her legs completely bare.I froze right there in the doorway. My c

Dominic’s PovThe heavy iron gates of the Kane family estate swung open, and our black car rolled up the long, winding driveway. Beside me, Sienna sat stiffly in her seat, her fingers tightly gripping her small purse. She didn’t know what she was walking into, and for the first time in my life, a tight knot of worry formed in my stomach.I knew my family. I knew how cruel their polished smiles could be. They viewed everyone like pieces on a chessboard, and they were going to tear Sienna apart the second she walked through those doors if I didn't keep my guard up."Stay close to me," I muttered under my breath as the car came to a complete stop.Sienna turned her head, her chin lifting with that stubborn fire I was quickly learning to expect. "I don't need a bodyguard, Dominic. I can handle a bunch of rich snobs."She stepped out of the car before I could even open the door for her. When I joined her on the stone steps, she looked breathtaking, standing tall in her ivory dress with her
