All throughout dinner, Sienna could sense the charged current passing through them. Lucas loved the food that she made and praised it in some way or the other all the time. Although it was a pleasing meal, one look into his stormy eyes made her aware of what was to follow afterward. Lucas wasn’t easily satiated and his eyes promised her more c*rnal pleasure once he had access to her body again.
“Have you ever cooked for Roman before?” He asked all of a sudden. Sienna shook her head.
“He never stayed long enough. It was either a short visit at home or at the hospital where dad was admitted or at a business party,” said Sienna with a shrug.
“So, am I the first man you’ve cooked for?” Asked Lucas with a smug smile.
Sienna groaned the moment she opened her eyes the next morning. Lucas was insatiable and had kept her awake till late at night, making her sore all over. She just couldn’t get up, wincing at the pain between her legs. Glancing beside her, she noticed that Lucas’s side was empty. He might have woken up much earlier as his side of the bed wasn't warm at all. Sienna hobbled somehow to the washroom to freshen up. Afterward, she came back to the bedroom to see Lucas walking inside the room with a tray of piping hot food. He frowned seeing her condition and kept the tray down on a table nearby.“You should have called me for help, love,” he said tenderly, rushing towards her. He caught her by the shoulders and gently led her towards the bed. Sienna was bowled over by the nickname he used. It had her mind going into overdrive. Did she hear it correctly? Did he call her ‘love'?&
Lucas didn’t tell anyone about his private life, about Kim and Alexia. That was a part of his life he preferred to deal with in his own way. He knew what he had to go through to prove to Kim and her lawyers that he was a good father and a good husband but it hadn’t been enough. Kim and her lawyers left no stones unturned in proving that he was a workaholic, an emotionless robot, a s*x maniac, a foul-tempered monster, and everything else that would make him incapable of getting Alexia's custody. He knew the way that these fake character traits of his had been hyped and printed everywhere, he had no way of proving himself. Yet Kim’s plan to get him to bow down to her wishes and give her shares of his business hadn’t worked. He didn’t bend.Sienna was the only one who seemed to be oblivious to his bad reputation and he didn’t want her to know anything. He was afraid t
“I had planned so much. If only we didn’t need to return so soon,” said Lucas with disappointment as they walked out of the house. Mrs. Stone saw them off while Ben loaded their bags onto the limousine.“It’s okay,” said Sienna, wondering what he had planned. Lucas noted the disappointment in her tone and it touched his heart. He had wanted to make her happy. He had wanted to plan a perfect date with her here.“Next time, I promise,” he said solemnly, sitting beside her in the limousine. They drove off and this time, Sienna sat against him, her head resting on his chest.“I’ll rejoin work tomorrow. I had a word with nurse Harvey,” she informed him.“Hmm, forward me your duty s
The next morning Sienna woke up a little late. Taking a quick shower, she remembered that she had to rejoin duty today. It was already 7 o’clock and there was just time to grab some milk and cereal before dashing off. She wondered what Lucas was up to. Opening her door she walked out of her room. The whole house seemed eerily quiet. Where was Lucas? He never stayed in bed this long? She went to the kitchen and noticed that it was in the exact condition as she had left it last night. It meant that Lucas hadn’t even entered it to make himself coffee.A feeling of dread clutched at her heart and she rushed towards Lucas’s room. Had he left for Washington DC already? She opened the door and saw that his room was perfectly arranged but there was no Lucas there. Sienna felt close to tears. He hadn’t thought it necessary to even say goodbye to her? What would she do now? She didn&rsq
Curiosity got the better of her and she couldn’t wait to call her friends. “Take me to West Village, Ben,” said Sienna, deciding to meet Skylar and ask her what was going on. It was closer to her home and if Roman wasn’t around, she could just drop in at her house and pack the rest of the stuff there. She had left in a hurry and there were more clothes and accessories which she hadn’t touched for months!Ben drove her to the address that she gave him and dropped her at the palatial mansion where Skylar lived with her grandparents. There was a time when the whole lot of them used to spend the night over at her house. Those were the best days of her life. Her dad was alive and healthy and would come over to pick her up in the morning many times. She rang the doorbell and waited for Skylar's housekeeper to open it. The house however looked eerily quiet as if no one was livi
Roman scowled at her, standing up, looking furious. “Are you trying to threaten me?” He fumed. Sienna glanced at him warily.“No, I’m just telling you my plans. Are you feeling threatened?” She asked.Roman sat down seeing that she wasn’t at all affected by his demeanor. “Why should I feel threatened? You’re the one who should feel that way. The last few months, I have invested repeatedly to save this dying company but it’s of no use. There is no other way than to sell it off,” He said with a poker expression on his face. Sienna gaped at him with shock. So Jenny was right after all. He was planning to sell off her dad’s business without consulting her.“You should have consulted me before making this decision, Roman? When dad was ali
“I don’t believe this!” said Eva, opening her handbag and taking out a newspaper. “Check the gossip column,” she told her. Sienna took the paper from her hands and opened the gossip column. Eva pointed at an article at the bottom of the page. Sienna froze, horrified at what she saw. There was a picture of her and Lucas, kissing on the shores of Mirror Lake! The caption read,The elusive Lucas Donnelly packs on the PDA during a low-key holiday with a bombshell! Has he moved on?Sienna’s mouth hung open and no words came out of it. When was this picture taken? She and Lucas had no idea about it. Or did Lucas know about this? Was this the reason why he left New York all of a sudden? Suddenly, her heart sank at the thought.“There’s more. Search for Celebrity News
Sienna stood transfixed to the spot. Should she leave but what if these two were fraud people? “I don’t believe you. I’m not going anywhere till Lucas returns,” said Sienna. The woman laughed tauntingly. She took out an identity card as well as a marriage certificate from her handbag and flashed it in front of her. Sienna gaped at the marriage certificate. She was indeed Lucas’s wife, that she was certain of. Then the woman took out her mobile and scrolled through the numbers.“I’m calling the cops if you don’t vacate this apartment in the next fifteen minutes,” she threatened menacingly. Sienna didn’t have time to think. She ran to her bedroom to pack up. Her heart was shattered into a million pieces knowing that Lucas was married and a father as well. Why didn’t he ever tell her? Why did he use her? She somehow dumped her stuff as qu
Eight Months Later“Ma, Addy caught my finger. I think he doesn’t want me to go to school,” said an excited Alexia. Since the moment her baby brother, Adrian was born, Alexia had suddenly matured and started behaving like the big sister she was. She even helped Sienna take care of him knowing that her ma needed to heal from childbirth.“He loves you, sweetie. You’re his big sister after all! But you can play with him after school,” said Sienna. Lucas smiled at the three of them as he got ready for work. With Sienna recuperating from childbirth, he was managing Accord Bioscience as well, along with his own business. Alexia smiled and kissed her baby brother.“I’ll come home soon, okay Addy?” she said in a cute baby voice which Adrian seemed to love. Last week when Adrian wa
The next morning everyone was in the brightest of spirits. There was excitement in the air, the girls giggled more at the breakfast table, everyone pampered Sienna more. She glowed and blushed under all the attention that was being showered upon her. Marcus walked in with a goofy grin on his face which turned into a scowl when he saw Alexander and Ashton at the breakfast table. Everyone tensed, sensing trouble.“Please don’t fight today,” pleaded Lucas’s mom. Marcus went to sit with Nicholas without a word. It was strange that Alexander and Ashton too didn’t say a single word to him. Alyssa shared a look of relief with Sienna.Things settled down and after breakfast, Sienna went upstairs to get ready. With everything falling into place in the nick of time, Sienna looked blissfully happy and excited. She had been waiting for t
Lucas heaved a sigh of relief with Alexander and Ashton gone to their rooms. He shared a look with Sienna. Would their wedding happen at all with the enemy here? But little did they know what other drama was awaiting them. Lucas called Marcus for the tenth time and thankfully, he picked up the call this time.“I’ll be on my way bro,” said Marcus.“Alexander and Ashton are here. Granny has pacified them and they’re keeping low. Please try to avoid them, Marc. I don’t want any more problems before the wedding!” warned Lucas. Marcus gasped hearing his brother’s words.“What the f*ck are those two doing there?” he asked gritting his teeth.“They’ve come for the girls, Alyssa, Eva,
Lucas’s mom went rushing upstairs to Sienna’s room to see that Eva had managed to revive Sienna. She was lying on her bed quietly with her eyes closed. “Stop fretting so much, Sienna. We will find it,” said Lucas’s mom. She sat by Sienna’s bed and stroked her head.“I’m sorry, mom. I failed you,” said Sienna, feeling miserable. Granny who had been resting in her room too came to see Sienna. She heard what was going on.“Search under all the clothes. It might be hidden in between some folded clothes,” said granny.Alyssa searched as asked and yet couldn’t find anything. The men came over from their trip. Lucas rushed into the room followed by Marcus and Nicholas.“Sienna?
The next day, the whole family gathered for Sienna’s bridal shower. Skylar came with Christian St. James who instantly clicked with the Donnelly brothers. They went exploring on the yacht while the women celebrated with Sienna. With only a day left for the wedding, they planned a spa party where they all helped one another groom up. Pam, Maria, and Cara too helped.“Cara, where did you learn hairdressing?” Asked Sienna, seeing the innovative hairstyle she had done for her. Cara blushed at the attention. She preferred to stay in the background and hardly spoke the entire time that she was there with them.“I worked at a salon for a month, ma’am,” she said quietly.“Please call me Sienna,” said Sienna with a warm smile. Cara smiled back, liking her inst
Sienna’s friend Hayley arrived next and they again caught up with one another. With Alexia gone on a fishing trip with Marcus and Sienna’s friends gone for a swim, Lucas sneaked into his bedroom to catch a moment with Sienna. He joined her on the bed and kissed her sweet mouth lingeringly. “We were so happy with each other and now with everyone here, I’m not liking it one bit,” he complained. Sienna kissed him back and stared deeply into his eyes. “It’s just a matter of a few days, Lucas. Soon we'll be married and be busy in a world of our own,” she said lovingly. “I know. I just can’t wait to get this over and done with,” he told her. “Me too,” said Sienna, cuddling to him and staying in his arms as long as she could.
The next day sailed by with Lucas and Sienna enjoying a trip in the beautiful yacht on the St Lawrence River. It was like a dream date for Sienna. Lucas and Joe had made all arrangements for a day trip and she couldn’t have asked for more. After a memorable day, they returned back to the house to eat the mouthwatering dinner that Pam had cooked for them. The next day, the whole family, as well as her friends, would be here for the wedding and Sienna was excited.It was ten o’clock in the morning when Alyssa and Eva arrived on a speedboat the next day. They squealed with delight upon seeing one another. “Hey, girl! Oh my gosh! You’re glowing! By the way, who marries at such short notice?” complained Alyssa.“Blame Roman for it,” grumbled Sienna.“He&rs
They reached the house and the smell of delicious, fresh, home-cooked food hit their noses. “Mmmm, just the thing I needed. Food!” Said Sienna, her pregnancy making her hungry all the time. Lucas smiled and they walked inside. Surely Pam was here to cook them lunch! Just as expected, Pam was preparing the table for lunch when they walked inside.“Hello ma’am, sir! Lunch is ready. I’ve cleaned the place. Is there anything else you need?” She asked courteously. Sienna smiled warmly, liking the short, delicate woman with a mop of dark hair on her head.“Thank you so much, Pam. This is exactly what we needed,” said Sienna, going to the elevator to freshen herself before eating.“I’ll call you if we need anything,” said Lucas. Pam nodded and le
The sun’s rays filtering through the curtains, the sound of birds chirping continuously, the faint breeze from the window fluttering the curtains a little. All these and more woke Sienna up. Feeling extremely lazy, she stretched her body and pulled up the duvet more, wanting nothing more than to drift back to sleep.However, a sudden flash of hot warmth down there made her acutely aware of where she was. Opening her eyes wide, she felt herself go dripping wet. “Good morning, love,” said Lucas’s husky voice near her ear.“Good morning, Lucas! Oh, what are you doing? I need to pee,” she said, removing his fingers from her wet folds. Lucas laughed and released her.“Come back right away. I have unfinished business with you,” he reminded her. Sienna rushe
