Sienna’s POV

For a moment, I was lost in the glamor of the event I was covering with my team. It was a business gala where high profile business people and media elites were in attendance. And that was until the head of my team, Fiona, snapped, pulling me back into the moment.

"Sienna, could you try not to space out?" 

“Sorry.” Without looking up at her, I muttered more to myself than to her. 

I returned my focus to the notepad in front of me and scanned the room, ignoring the whispers of my teammates behind me. I didn’t have to hear what they were saying to know it was about me.

Apparently, my new colleague had also learned of the scandal that prompted me to be transferred from my former branch to the New York Branch, and they all believed the story, viewing me as the woman who had slept my way up. A scandal that was perfectly orchestrated by own my best friend.

No one cared to hear my own side of the story. And I didn’t care to explain myself to anyone.

Feeling my throat perching dry, I made my way toward the bar to get myself a drink. Once I had gotten a glass of mocktail, I turned around to return to my team but my shoulder suddenly collided with someone’s arm and the glass tipped too quickly from my grip. The drink splashes forward, spilling over the dress of a woman in a stunning burgundy red dress that screamed money.

Oh. Shit.

“Oh my God.” I said with a startled gasp, visibly shaky now. How could I have been so clumsy? “I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you…”

I couldn’t even look her in the face and just stared wide eyed at the damage I had caused to her dress. I did a quick mental calculation at the same time. It would literally take months of my salary for me to replace her dress.

“Jezz! Watch where you’re going! Do you even know how much these cost?!”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t meant to…” I stopped mid-apology as the familiarity of her sharp, angry voice hit me, causing me to lift my gaze and finally look at her in the face.

My stomach dropped as her perfectly sculpted face which looked exactly like mine greeted me. 

“Sabrina?”

She froze too, her eyes widening as she recognized it was me. For a second, we just stared at each other and the noise of the room felt like it had faded into a dull hum.

Sabrina. My twin sister whom I hadn’t seen for almost ten years now. The first person who had abandoned me, disappointed me and broke my heart.

"Sienna?" Sabrina’s eyes darted around the room like she didn’t want anyone to notice us together. As if she was ashamed of being seen together with me. "What are you doing here?"

I swallowed the lump in my throat and straightened my spine. 

"Working.” I said firmly, even though my voice wavered slightly. "I’m covering this event with my team."

“Oh. I see.” Her perfectly manicured fingers tightened around the stem of her champagne flute as her eyes flicked over me, taking in my simple black dress and neat bun, like I was made of cheap stuff.  “Seems that life has been good to you, Sienna."

Her condescension hit like a slap, but I didn’t flinch. I replied to her sarcastically. 

"And I see life’s been even better to you. A guest in the Montgomery’s business gala. How reputable.”

The corners of Sabrina’s lips lifted in a smirk and before she could reply, a deep, oddly familiar voice cut through the tension.

"Who are you talking to, honey?” 

I froze.

“Sweetheart.” Sabrina cooed and immediately slipped behind me to hug the owner of the voice. “Remember my twin sister I told you about? Sienna? That’s her.”

My heart thumped loudly in my chest and my breath caught in my throat as I turned slowly to see who it was. And just like I had suspected, the voice belonged to him.

Roman. My ex husband who had disappeared from my life on the same day I gave birth to our daughter eight years ago. He looked the same, if not better. Broad-shouldered, sharp-jawed, and dressed in an American tuxedo that fit him like a second skin.  

"Roman?” I stared wide eyed at him in pure disbelief, blinking a few times and hoping that this was a dream. But it wasn’t. 

This was Roman, flesh and blood. My Roman. 

Roman raised a brow with his face cold and expressionless. And the way he stared at me, it was as though I was a total stranger to him. Like he hadn’t met me before.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Sienna. My wife has told me so much about you.”

The world tilted. ‘A pleasure to finally meet me’? ‘My wife’? 

I looked from him to Sabrina and back to him again, completely lost and confused. What the hell was going on? Why was he referring to my twin sister as his wife and pretending not to recognize me?

“Aren’t you… aren’t you Roman?” I stuttered, furiously blinking back the tears that were beginning to well up in my eyes. Roman raised a brow at me again.

“Yes, I am. Roman Montgomery. Have we met before?”

"Seriously?" I couldn’t stop the tears from spilling down my cheeks this time. My heart squeezed tight in my chest and I felt fresh pain like I felt when he disappeared exactly eight years ago. "You’re going to act like you don’t know me?"

Before Roman could reply me, Sabrina slipped her arm through his and flashed him a honeyed smile.

"She must be mistaking you for someone else. Sienna’s just here to cover the event. Let’s give her some space.” 

I scoffed in disbelief as they turned to leave and before I could think twice, I closed in on them and grabbed Roman’s arm, yanking him back to face me.

His once expressionless face broke into a shocked and confused one before slipping back into his usual one of cold indifference.

"You abandoned me!” My voice was raised and loud now, attracting the guests and everyone else that I didn’t care were watching. "You abandoned your own wife, and now you’re married to her?!”

“You know, all these while, I thought Sabrina was only making up stories when she said that her twin sister was a selfish, greedy bitch who hated her and would do anything to take her life away. But finally meeting you now, I can see that she was never wrong…”

Before he could complete his sentence, I raised my hand and smacked him hard across the face. The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the hall, earning gasps from everyone around us. They began to pull out their phones to record the moment. 

But I didn’t care. I was blinded by rage and needed to take revenge for what Roman had done to me and our daughter. For everything he had put us through, only for him to deny me after all these years. After promising me so much and claiming he loved me more than anything else.

Roman’s fingers felt his cheek as he stared at me wide eyed in shock. Sabrina gasped in shock. 

“How dare you?!” He hissed at me. “I will have you locked up and arrested for this!”

“No. No. No, please.” Sabrina quickly stepped between us, looking up at Roman with tears floating in her eyes. "Please, don’t punish her. She’s my sister. I know she hates me and wants to ruin my happiness, but she’s my only sister and I love her. Please, don’t do this."

More tears rolled down my cheeks. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. She was playing the victim, right here in front of everyone, and they were eating it up. To them, I was the bad guy. The envious, evil twin sister.

Roman glared at me for a couple of seconds as if contemplating whether he should listen to Sabrina or not. My heart broke even more, seeing him glare at me with those eyes that had once stared at me with infinity love.

The next second, Roman signaled to security, his jaw still tight with anger.

“Have her thrown out.”

"No need." I wiped the tears on my face with the back of my hand. "I’ll leave now.”

But as I turned to go, I tripped and fell to my knees over Sabrina’s heel that I could swear she had set on purpose. 

As I forced myself up with a face bathed in tears and a heavy lump in my throat, I did not fail to catch a glimpse of Sabrina’s face as she quickly masked a smirk.

And then, I ran out of the hall, humiliated and in tears while cameras flashed on me. As I ran and wept, the only words that echoed in my head were…

Why did Roman leave me just to get married to my own twin sister who hated me so much? And most importantly, why was he pretending that he had never met me before?

    Sienna’s POVThe next morning, I stood in front of my boss, Ms. Leen, smoothing out my skirt for the third time in as many minutes. My palms were sweaty and my heart hammered in my chest. “Do you have any idea the kind of chaos you’ve caused?” She began, her nails drumming against the surface and her cold eyes locked on me. “My phone hasn’t stopped ringing since last night. Sponsors, attendees, the media, everyone’s talking about the little scene you decided to put on. Your embarrassing videos are everywhere, Miss. Blake!”“Ms. Leen, I…”“Save it.” She shot me another glare. “I don’t want excuses. What I want is for you to explain why you thought it was a good idea to slap a man like Roman Montgomery on the night of his business gala, cause a commotion, and drag this network’s name through the mud!”I swallowed hard, feeling my palms turn clammy and my heart beating so loudly that I feared she might hear it. “It wasn’t intentional, ma’am.

But it was too early and he or she had specifically said eight pm. I checked my phone again and reread the cryptic message that had led me here. As I read through it for the hundredth time, my fingers hovered over the screen more than once, tempted to respond with questions. But something told me this wasn’t the kind of person who liked to repeat themselves. Dropping my phone back into my purse, I indulged myself in my drink, hoping that time would go by faster.A while later, I felt a presence sit down on the stool next to mine and I glanced at his direction. It was a masculine man dressed in a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and his black trousers tai

    Roman’s POVAs I stood in front of the full length mirror in my bedroom, I found myself unwillingly indulged in the thought of her again. Sienna. The hurt in her eyes. The emotions in her voice. It just wouldn’t leave my mind and it made absolutely no sense. She looked exactly like Sabrina, down to the shape of her eyes and the curve of her lips, except that she had chestnut brown hair and sapphire colored eyes while Sabrina had charcoal black hair and blue eyes. But then again, there was something about Sienna that felt different no matter how I tried not to think about it. Familiar, even. I ran a hand through my hair, irritated at myself.“Why the hell is she so convinced I’m her husband?” I muttered to myself. It didn’t add up. I had never seen her before in my life. Maybe Sienna was right and she was unstable.But then, why couldn’t I stop thinking about her? Was it the feeling of guilt I felt towards her in her miserable state? Was that the reason I had this nagging pull i

Stepping into the living room, I was welcomed by the sight of my older brother; Julian, seated crossed legged on the plush, oversized armchair, reading a Forbes magazine.He lifted his gaze as soon as he heard us enter the room and a small smile crossed his lips. It had been over a month since I had last seen him. According to my mother, he had traveled for an urgent business trip. I wouldn’t say that I had missed him exactly because we had never been so close.…from what I gathered based on my eight years of memories.“Uncle Julian!” Riley squealed as soon as she set eyes on him. She ran straight into his arms and he chuckled as he rose up, scooped her into his arms and lifted her playfully into the air.“There’s my princess!”“I’ve missed you, Uncle Julian.” Riley pouted her lips. “You abandoned me.”“No, I did not. I wouldn’t dare.” Julian chuckled again. “How about we do this? Give your dad and I a little space

Once she got a glimpse of the cake in my hand through her half sleepy eyes, she gasped and immediately sat up from her bed, wide awake now.I chuckled lightly. I had creeped into her room while she was still asleep to surprise her and from the look of things, it was mission successful.“Happy eight years birthday, sweetie.” I settled onto the edge of the bed, beside her and pushed the cake gently towards her. “Come on. Make a wish.”Chuckling in pure delight, Livvy pressed her palm together and squeezed her eyes shut. “I wish that daddy would come back to us very soon.” Then, she leaned forward and blew the candle with all her might.My smile weakened as her wish flooded my ears.

    Sienna’s POV“He’s close. Too close.” I thought to myself as my gaze locked with his, my heart pounding in my chest. I felt like I was frozen and even though my head screamed at me to push him off and get back on my feet, I couldn’t move. Instead, I was teleported back to the moment nine years ago, when we had met for the first time at a children charity event. He had caught me this same way when I almost fell to the ground and the moment had lingered. It was as though the world had faded around us and I had been mesmerized by the cold depths of his forest green eyes. And the feeling of his strong, masculine arms around my waist. It was like a scene straight out of a fairytale storybook.Maybe that was the reason why our love story came to an end too early. Because it was only just a fairytale. The cab man’s voice cut through the moment.“Hey you! Who the hell are you?!” He barked at Roman who smirked at me again before helping me steady to my feet. Once I was back on my feet, he di

    Sienna’s POVThe soft chime of the elevator echoed as the metal doors slid open and I stepped out with a deep exhale before walking into the office space I shared with my team.I was still recovering from the embarrassment of earlier. How could I have been so stupid, to allow my emotions blind and lead me into hugging Roman? I would never forget the stunned look on his face when I hugged him for what seemed like an entire minute. After I had recovered and come back to my senses, I had been so embarrassed and apologized, blaming it on how stressful the day had been.Stress?I was almost laughing at myself now.How dumb and ridiculous! Couldn’t I have come up with a better excuse?Thankfully, Roman had brushed it off and given me a lift to the company as agreed. However, I had asked him not to walk me inside. I wasn’t sure what to expect from my colleagues when they saw me with Roman. They would probably spread more gossip about me and accuse me of sleeping with my so-called sister’s h

    Julian’s POVThe low hum of my car’s engine faded as I rolled to a stop in front of Roman’s mansion. As I stepped out of the car, Riley’s voice came from the backseat in a playful squeal.“Uncle Julian! Don’t forget me!”“Oops.” I grinned, turning around to open the door for her. “I almost forgot. Or maybe, I was thinking of leaving you behind.”“No, you wouldn’t! You love me!” She shit back with a giggle as she squirmed in her seat, her curly hair bouncing around her small face. “Of course, I love you, princess.”Laughing, I scooped her out of her seat with ease and hoisted her into my shoulder as I stride towards the mansion’s double door. Riley let out a delighted squeal and kicked her feet playfully into the air. “Put me down, Uncle Julian! Put me down!”“I can’t hear you from all the way down here.” I teased her and we both laughed as I walked past the foyer and stepped into the living room where Sabrina was seated on one of the couches like a queen, wearing a shimmery silk blu

I needed to pee and my bladder screamed at me to find the bathroom immediately.Gripping the edge of the counter for balance, I staggered toward the hallway, the noise from the party fading behind me as I navigated the dimly lit corridor. Suddenly, a presence stepped out from the shadows, blocking my path and almost causing me to jump off my skin in panic. I squinted my eyes past my drunk blurry vision to see that it was no other person than Sabrina. I huffed in frustration."Well, look who’s had one too many.” She flashed me a venomous smile as she scanned my body from head to toe, her arms crossed. Her nice girl facade was replaced with a bittered, mean girl demeanor now. Her true colors that only I got to see."What do you want, Sabrina?" I asked, blinking to focus my vision as my words slurred just a little. Sabrina’s smirk turned into a

Once I was done, I wrapped myself in a fluffy robe and tied my damp hair into a loose bun. Just as I rounded up my makeup and started working on styling my hair, a soft knock came on the door.“Give me a second!” I announced from inside the room, then gave my face one last touch before padding over to the door.Opening it, I found a smiling housekeeper holding a black velvety package tied with a silver ribbon.“This just arrived for you, Miss.” She said warmly before handing over the package, alongside a small envelope. “Thank you.” I replied, reciprocating her smile as I took the package from her, then shut the door after she walked away. I stared down at the package in curiosity as I set the package on the bed. I wasn’t expecting any package from anyone, neither did I order anything from any store. Could it be a wrong pa

Nodding, the camera crew adjusted the reflector while the model continued to pose as the camera resumed clicking in rapid succession.Once they were done with that shoot, the crew hurried to the other end of the set where props were arranged around a white chaise lounge. It was the last day of the shoot and just like every good thing, I couldn’t believe that it had come to an end. Suddenly, three days of work seemed like only a day. I felt a small sense of sadness cross my heart as I watched the crew. I had only met them here, yet I was sure I would miss each and everyone of them dearly.I turned as my eyes took in the Ibiza beach again but I felt my heart leap suddenly as my eyes met with Roman’s.

The soft clink of champagne glasses as the models mingled with the Montogomery team, the upbeat lounge music blending with the sound of the waves lapping against the hull, it all felt too good to be true.For a moment, I felt anxious and my fingers reached for the fabric of my beach dress. Was I really supposed to be here? I mean, I deserved to, right? I was the campaign manager after all. Wasn’t I?But why was I still feeling like some imposter?“Care for a drink, Miss?” A server approached me, pulling me out of my thoughts. On his hand was a tray of champagne and there was a small polite smile on his face. “Yes, please.” I returned his smile and picked a champagne from his tray, grateful for something to occupy my nervous hand.Once the server was one, I took a small sip from my drink and my eyes scanned the crowd, hoping I would catc

There was just so much going on that I needed to keep keen eyes on.And even thought it felt overwhelming in a way, I loved it here. And I planned to make it my biggest comeback yet.My eyes caught the stylist fumbling restlessly with a model’s scarf. Catching on to the flaw, I hurried over to her.“No, no, no, Leila.” I called out, once I reached them. I had learned her name earlier for the sake of work familiarly. “The scarf isn't flowing right. Angle it to the left. It needs to look effortless, not forced.”Leila nodded and her assistant adjusted the scarf.

This was about to be our biggest marketing campaign since three years ago, and I wasn’t going to let it flop even the slightest bit.“This campaign is all about blending luxury with an effortless sense of escape.” Harper began, gesturing to the large, polished screen that displayed a mood board filled with vibrant images of sun-kissed cliffs, sleek yachts, hot models, and luxurious villas. “Think high-end, but relaxed. Sophistication with a touch of wanderlust. We want people to look at this and dream about escaping to the high life that Montgomery represents.”My gaze shifted to Sienna who was seated close to an aggressively gum-chewing red haired model. Unlike the model, Sienna was seated calmly, her attention carried away by Harper.“We’ve got a tigh

    Sienna’s POVThat evening, I stood under the cascade of the rainfall shower head of the luxury bathroom, letting the warm water soak every inch of my body and smelling the calming scent of my lavender body wash.Letting my hair fall back, I smiled as I enjoyed the water rushing down my skin. Tonight, I planned to pamper myself as I prepared for the heavy workload of tomorrow. I planned to slip into my lingerie after this shower and fulfill my growing horniness by making use of my sex toys as I watched a good, spicy TV series while sipping red wine.Which should I make use of, though? My vibrator of ecstasy or my faithful dildo?Fuck it. Why do I have to choose when I can have the both of them? I’d use them both at the same time. I felt my pussy clench at the thought of the sensation. God! It had been eight full years that I had been without a man’s touch. Thankfully, my sex toys were always at my beck and call whenever I needed them. But sometimes, I yearned to feel the touch of a r

    Sienna’s POVTwo days later, I was seated in the airport lounge, my fingers lightly grazing the glossy pages of the campaign brief that was resting in my lap. I had already read the brief thrice, but my mind wouldn’t stop circling around the same thought.Why me? Of all people, why did Roman choose to work with me? From what Ethan had told me, Roman had been adamant about hiring me for the job, insisting that if it wasn’t me, he would pick someone else from another company. What made him feel like he could entrust such a groundbreaking campaign into my hands? Not like I wasn’t capable. It just felt so… surreal. At first, the thought of turning down the offer crossed my mind. Because let’s be honest, no one would want to work in close proximity with their husband whom they are very much in love with, but who can no longer remember them because they had lost their memory and now, he had ended up with someone else. The heartache was something else. But I had to convince myself to t
