Rescue in his arms
Sienna's life is a shadow of what it once was, trapped in a violent marriage that slowly consumes her. Her days are filled with fear and heartbreak, and she’s lost all hope of escape—until Zane reappears. After four years of silence, her best friend, the one person she thought she could trust, returns. But Sienna is far from welcoming. The pain of his abandonment lingers, and forgiveness seems impossible.
Zane, however, isn’t going anywhere this time. His return stirs something in Sienna, something she can’t ignore. The more she pushes him away, the more she finds herself craving his presence. Their deep-rooted friendship, built on years of shared history, begins to shift in unexpected ways. But Zane isn’t the same man who left all those years ago. He has secrets—secrets that could unravel everything.
As Sienna struggles with finding herself and her growing feelings for the man who once meant everything to her, she must decide whether to confront the painful truths of her past or risk losing herself in a new love that might be just as dangerous as the one she’s trying to escape.

Chapter: I'm broken.SIENNA: “Girl, it's been ages. You don't even care about me anymore,” Melissa's overdramatic voice said over the phone. I had to take the phone away from my ears because of how loud she was. “Don't only take my hearing–take my seeing too” I teased. “Don't change the topic Si!” “I'm sorry Mel, I've been…dealing with stuff.” “What stuff? Did that bastard Sebastian do something?” Her tone softened, concern evident. I hesitated. “He's part of it. But there's more– Zane's back.” I heard a crash from her end of the call. Well that's one way to react. “You okay Mel?” I asked. “Yeah yeah. Zane? Your self-proclaimed male best friend who disappeared without a word Zane?” I almost laughed at her calling him my self-proclaimed bestie, when I was actually the one that proclaimed myself his bestie. Mel and I clicked instantly when we met the year before Zane disappeared. She and Zane had met a few times but didn't get along due to their weird possessiveness. Mel thought Zane was a ston

Chapter: Peppa pigZANE:“Is she like an ex lover or something?” Alex asked, blocking my line of vision with his head.He's been at my place since he arrived, not like they didn't have their own place over here, they did–but Alex just loved being a pain in my ass.He had even followed me to the office and had been bugging me for a while now about Sienna's identity.I had just remained silent, acting as if he was just a gust of wind in the room.“Too bad she's married, I would've shot my shot. She is pretty as hell, her hair, her eyes…” I cut him off with a kick in his knees to which he yelped out in pain.“Shut it!” I growled, glaring daggers at him.“Ohh, you're protective of her” He raised a brow in a teasing manner.“Shut it Santoro!” I gritted my teeth. It looked like my kick was not hard enough.“I won't until you tell me who she fucking is! And why she has you all bothered. She's a married woman dude!” He yelled back, adopting a serious expression.“Fuck what do you want me to tell you? That she's

Chapter: WHY AM I SO EMOTIONAL?SIENNA:What the hell is it with this day!“Surprise Rossa”His words kept replaying in my head as I stood behind him raking in shock. Zane is Mr. Lawson! I knew his last name was Lawson and I knew he was from a rich family, but I never knew he was from the main Lawson family.When I bumped into that guy, I took my time to do some research on who Mr. Lawson was and there weren't any photos of him, but there was lots of news about him. Only for me to find out my ex childhood best friend was the heir and acting CEO of Lawson holdings, a multi-trillion dollar empire with influence spanning the globe.At least that was what my research said.Looking at him now, it felt like I was staring at a stranger. Had it all been a lie? I had just realized that I might’ve actually known nothing about him.His deep grey eyes, were bottomless like a pit dragging me in. For a moment I forgot they were others around. My husband, his family and some nosy guests.“What crap! What do you mean he's Mr. Laws

Chapter: HIM?Sienna: My eyes suddenly met a burning gaze at the far end of the room. I couldn't hear anyone around me, I was lost in those eyes oblivious to everything around me. The only thing I could feel was a weird flip in my stomach.“Him?” I muttered.“Nana?” Grandpa Hayes’s firm hand on my shoulder snapped me back.I blinked, snapping towards his face. My heart was racing as reality set in.When I turned to the crowd again, he was gone. My eyes searched through the sea of faces, searching and a small part of me–hoping–but he was nowhere to be seen. It was as if he was never there.Was I imagining things?“Are you okay child?” My grandpa stepped forward, scanning my face. His weathered face was lined with concern and his brows scrunched up in worry.I swallowed hard, feeling the weight of the attention on me: the stares, the murmurs. Every eye seemed glued to my every move. Damn. This was awkward.“I'm okay, just surprised that the watch is worth much to you,” I said, my voice tighter tha

Chapter: THE BIRTHDAY SIENNA: The Hayes old house was a place I dreaded more than anything. Each time I visited felt like stepping into hell, and I was sure this weekend would be no different. Sebastian's family had their way of making life more miserable for me. Whether it was daunting remarks about my appearance, jabs at my outfit, and nitpicking the smallest mistakes, they always found something to criticize. On a normal day, I wouldn't return to that hell hole for any reason. But tomorrow was grandpa’s 80th birthday and they were throwing a huge birthday party to mark it. He was the one person that made this hell somewhat bearable. So whether I liked it or not, I had to face them. As we stepped in, I was horrified to see most of his family members around. Were we really going to this now? I was hoping to quietly sneak into our room but I guess the universe had other plans for me. “Hey mum, dad, how are you both doing?” Sebastian said, his mouth stretched in a wide smile as he sat down on the

Chapter: FAMILY BANTERSZANE:“Grandpa, how could he come back from God knows where and you just hand over the company to him?” Eric my cousin ranted, shooting me a fierce glare which I just met with an indifferent look.This was the last place I wanted to be, but grandpa had been on my neck for days to attend this meeting.I knew it was going to be the same old complaints and protests about me being the acting CEO. And my expectations were not cut short.I'd been sitting there for about 30 minutes, and felt like my ears were bleeding out already. I let my eyes wander round the room for the nth time, completely zoning them out.The study was carefully arranged in its decor. There were floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lining one wall, complete with a sliding ladder. A large oak desk sits near a tall window, organized with files, documents and a freshly brewed cup of tea.A cozy wingback chair in the corner, paired with a side table, invites quiet reading, while potted green plants and soft curtains add life and l
