"None of this is my fault and besides you also knew who I was beforemaking passes at me.” "Hmm," he scoffed, rolling his eyes distastefully. "You know what, just take the money on the dresser and leave." But I only rammed my leg into the sneaker, brushed past him and walked out of the room, slamming the door behind me. I refused to be treated like a common whore, picked off the streets.Tears blurred my vision as I descended the long staircase in the hotel, burning my cheeks as they finally rolled down. I didn't think there would have been a better description for shame and embarrassment. I had met Max at countless charity events, but I had never approached him or spoken to him. He had a reputation for being arrogant and stuck up and I didn't believe the assertion until now. I walked as fast as I could, fearing that people would now recognize me until I finally hailed a cab and went straight to my home. I regretted not accepting
The next chain of events felt like a scene from a dystopian drama, and I stood there, dumbfounded and weak until two policemen nudged my shoulder and took me away. Edwina had finally won and the two people I called my parents gloated at me as though I was a common stranger. My heart sank down my stomach and I felt the weight of the words crashing on my shoulder. Ethan had betrayed me, and in the worst way possible. His last words rang in my ears, the English feeling weird for my analyzing ears until the flashing of camera lights jolted me back to life. The policemen were leading me through the crowd and the angry jeers erupting from them was something that would keep me up at nights. My acting career had been totally destroyed. I would have to pay numerous fines, my properties had been repossessed and all the money in my bank account was flagged as illegal. I can't believe Ethan did this to me, I can't believe I trusted him. The man I married had suddenly turned to a monster
"Were you truly engaging in masked porn?" Another reporter asked. "Did you really throw ableist slurs at deformed people,by taking a photo by a ramp and wearing the hijab as though it were an ordinary cloth?" "No," I muttered, even though the chattering of the angry crowd drowned my voice. "I never insulted anyone, these are all lies, a setup to put my career to an end. "Sienna Brooks, do you really abuse your manager, Miss Angela Devon and your cook, Mrs Rose Everton""Are you really on drugs? Are you really behind candy bars which have been mixed with cocaine? Sienna, are you really stealing money.?""Tell the world and your disappointed fans the reason behind your disgusting attitude." "Sienna Brooks, Sienna Brooks, slut, assaulter, thief, drug addict, porn star...." All these voices drowned in my head as guards tightened their grips around my arm to prevent me from stumbling and hurting my legs. I was caught in a web of lies and there was a high chance that I wouldn't get out
Sienna's POVA perceptible wave of tension and anxiety hung in the atmosphere, tainting the air with an iridiscent chill, the kind that mirrored the turmoil in my mind. I leaned on the headrest and peered out the window, letting the breeze from the wheezing cars on the road dry up the sweat on my face as heat coursed through my veins.My body had an unusual way of reacting to anxiety. I would have numerous stomach aches, and since the anti nausea pills hadn't done their job, I sat straight in the backseat, and placed my hand on my stomach, an attempt to contend with the ache rippling through it."Gavin," I called out to my driver. "How long till we arrive at the court?""We're almost there ma'am," he answered slowly. "We'll be at the building in two hours."My stomach rumbled again, my intestines twisting into knots as a patch of goosebumps suddenly broke out of my skin, covering me from head to toe.Oh heavens. This was it. I said to myself as bile rushed to my throat. I placed my h
