Sienna’s POV

“I am so, so sorry, Sienna.” Candice, the woman who had almost beaten me to a pulp back at the boardroom, apologized to me for the hundredth time with eyes heavy with guilt. “I swear, I had no idea you were a twin. I really thought you were your sister.”

It was the end of work hours and we were both seated in a small, cozy restaurant. On the table before us was a plate of barely touched Creamy pasta Alfredo for me and another plate of grilled chicken Caesar for Candice. Candice had insisted on taking me out for a treat in order to make it up to me, even though I had also insisted that I was fine and there was no need for that.

“It’s fine, ma’am.” I sent her a small, reassuring smile, my hand moving subconsciously to my bandaged arm, courtesy of Candice. It was still throbbing with a dull ache. It made me wonder how strong she was, to be capable of such punches.

If not for the timely intervention of Mr. Ethan, who I got to learn was Candice’s older brother, and a few peo

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    A Collision at the Competition

    Sienna’s POVIt was finally the day of Livvy’s school’s math competition. I was seated in the middle of the second row among other parents in the school hall. My hands were clasped tightly together as my heart drummed in my chest.My eyes were locked on Livvy on the stage with her team and the competing team. I could feel the collective breath-hold of the room as the competition judge announced the result of the competition.“After a close and impressive display of teamwork and problem solving, the winning team of this year’s Junior Math Masters Competition is…”The pause hung in the air. From where I was seated, I could see Livvy holding her breath on stage.“Team Phoenix!”The hall erupted with thunderous applause and Livvy jumped happily on stage. That’s when it registered to me. Team Phoenix was Livvy’s team which she was leading.My heart soared and I rose up from my seat as I beamed and cheered at the stage.“Yes! Yes! That’s my girl!”On stage, Livvy’s wide eyes blinked and he

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    An Unexpected Miracle

    Sienna’s POVThankfully, I didn’t run late for work today and a few minutes later, I was seated on my desk with my eyes focused on the screen in front of me as I typed away at the keyboard while shifting through the mountain of emails. I hated that I had to attend to petty jobs like this at the company. Back in Minnesota, I worked as the talent manager. And that was until Wendy had released edited footage of me getting involved with one of the board managers, causing me to be transferred and my position denoted. From what I had heard, she had taken over my role in the company after I was transferred. It was obvious that that was the reason she had implicated me. Someday, her karma will catch up with her and I will have the last laugh.I was pulled out of my thoughts when the sound of a brown paper bag thudding on my desk almost made me jump out of my skin. The rich and savory aroma of the food hit my senses and I glanced up to be greeted by the sight of Candice standing in front of

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    Welcome to Ibiza!

    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

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    A Perfectly Planned Night

    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

    Roman’s POVAfter breakfast, I gave my assistant; Harper, instructions to gather everyone in the conference room for a pre-shoot meeting.Sitting on the center chair at the table, I listened and observed quietly to Harper’s prep talk. 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 POV“Good morning, from Ibiza, where dreams become reality. I am here with the Montgomery Holdings, capturing an exclusive first look of their game changing rebrand. Luxury, freedom and power? It’s all here!”I walked past the media woman who was covering the event, my eye’s literally everywhere and my head on fire. 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. I gave Leila an approving smile before heading to check on the photographer who was crouched behind the l

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    A Moment In the Yacht

    Sienna As I stepped onto the pristine deck of the yacht, a small smile crossed my lips. The scene in front of me felt like something out of a movie. 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

    Sienna’s POV“Move the reflector to the right. We need more light on her face. No shadows under the jawline.” I pointed to the camera man as I stood by the monitors, my eyes flicking between the screen and the model. 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. He was seated crossed-leg and under a shaded canopy with Harper standin

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    Trauma Bonded

    SIENNAEarly the next morning, Ethan dropped Livvy and me off at Roman’s mansion. I had to get Livvy ready for school and send her off before getting myself ready for work too.But after everything that happened last night, I hadn’t slept at all. My mind wouldn’t let me rest. Every time I closed my eyes, flashes of Emilia’s lifeless body came rushing back. Then I saw Sabrina’s tear-streaked face and her blood-covered hands. Then it was both of us, standing at the edge of the bridge, throwing Emilia’s body into the river. The last nightmare that jerked me fully awake was the image of both Sabrina and Emilia, drenched in blood, chasing after me until I fell off the bridge. I woke up before I hit the water.So when I got up this morning, my eyes were puffy and my face looked tired. Luckily, Ethan didn’t seem to notice much as he drove us back. He stopped the car in front of the mansion, and I got out with Livvy.“Goodbye, Mr. Ethan! We had such a lovely time with you!” Livvy waved brigh

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    Soul Sisters

    SIENNASabrina had two jackets in the backseat of her car, which we threw on, to cover the bloodstains on our clothes. Once we looked a little less suspicious, we drove to a nearby bar. Sabrina had picked it on purpose because it was busy and loud, the kind of place where no one would notice two women acting a little off. More importantly, they had restrooms we could use to clean ourselves up before heading to our separate destinations— Sabrina to her mansion, and me back to Ethan’s place.Luckily, the plan worked. We walked in without anyone giving us a second glance. No stares, no questions.We made our way straight to the bathroom and began scrubbing the blood off our skin and clothes. We didn’t get everything off, but at least the worst of it was gone. Still, we couldn’t risk going back like this. Someone was bound to notice the mess we still carried on our clothes, on our faces, and in our eyes.We thought about stopping at a boutique to buy new outfits. But just as we were abou

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    Mother

    Sienna’s POVDriving around with a dead body in the trunk of your car isn’t exactly what two well-dressed women are expected to be doing on a night when they were supposed to be on separate dinner dates. But somehow, that’s where Sabrina and I found ourselves tonight.And to make things worse, the body belonged to none other than our own mother.Sabrina was still in shock, too numb to even move properly, so I ended up behind the wheel of her car. I prayed the entire time that we wouldn’t run into any cops. Thankfully, the roads were quiet, and we drove smoothly. My hands were shaking on the steering wheel, but I tried hard to stay calm and look like I had it together.Thanks to the countless crime shows I’ve watched and mystery novels I’ve read, I had a rough idea of how people got rid of bodies. Even though I never imagined I would be doing something like this in real life. But I couldn’t leave Sabrina to deal with this on her own. No matter how messed up she was, she was still my s

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    Sisters Forever

    Sienna’s POVAfter leaving Ethan’s place, I had booked a cab to the restaurant where Julian had asked me to meet him. When I arrived and stepped out of the cab, I was just about to head inside when I caught sight of two figures in a nearby dark alley. They looked familiar, and they seemed to be arguing.I slowed down, my eyes fixed on them, trying to figure out why they looked so familiar. But the alley was dimly lit, and I couldn’t see their faces clearly.Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was Julian calling.“Where are you?” he asked as soon as I answered. He sounded impatient and his tone carried that sense of urgency that his text message had carried. “I’m sorry,” I said quickly. “I just got here. I’m heading in now.”I slipped my phone back into my pocket and took a step toward the restaurant, but I couldn’t help glancing back at the alley. The argument between the two figures had gotten more heated. It almost looked like a physical fight now.That was when I noticed s

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    Crossing a Line

    Sabrina’s POVEnding the call immediately, I spun around, my heart dropping at the sight of Emilia’s pale face pale, frozen in shock. The smiles she had worn earlier at the restaurant were gone, replaced by wide, disbelieving eyes.I swallowed hard, my palms turning clammy as silence stretched between us.She took slow, hesitant steps toward me, as if she had just heard the most horrifying thing in her life.Well, apparently, she just had.“Those things… those things you said…” Her voice shook as she forced out the words. “Are they true?”I didn’t answer right away. I just stared at her, feeling a surge of irritation bubbling beneath my skin.This old hag! Why did she have to come outside now? I didn’t bring her here for this. Now, she was going to ruin everything. I felt my hatred for her deepen.Her voice trembled as she pressed on. “Did you really cause Roman’s accident so you could steal him from Sienna?” Her eyes glistened with tears. “Do you actually plan to get rid of Sienna

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    An Antagonist’s Secrets

    Sabrina’s POV"This food is sooo good," Emilia said, chewing loudly with her mouth open. The sight alone made my stomach turn.I forced a small smile, taking a delicate bite of my own meal."I know, right?" I said smoothly. "They make the best dishes here."Emilia let out an exaggerated scoff as she shoveled another oversized spoonful into her mouth. "That foolish sister of yours really messed up."Her chewing was unbearable to watch. I wanted to grab that spoon and shove it right down her throat."I mean, can you believe she turned down your offer to bring her here?" Emilia gestured dramatically around the elegant five-star restaurant. Even in the expensive dress I bought for her, she looked completely out of place. No amount of fancy clothing could hide what she truly was. Cheap and pathetic.And that irritated me."She’s such an ungrateful bitch," Emilia sneered. "She needs to be taught a hard lesson. Maybe then she’ll finally learn to be appreciative."I kept my small, polite smi

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    The Calm Before the Storm

    Sienna’s POVAt first, I hesitated to shop. I didn’t want it to seem like I was taking advantage of Ethan’s generosity. But Livvy’s excitement was contagious. She practically bounced around the children’s section, marveling at the colorful dresses and shoes.“Mommy, look at this! You’ll look like a princess in it!” she exclaimed, holding up a pair of elegant heels.I knelt beside her, taking the shoe from her hands. It really was beautiful. The attendant smiled warmly and encouraged me to try it on and I hesitated for a second before slipping my foot into it. It fit perfectly, hugging my foot as if it was specifically made just for me. As if sensing my initial reluctance, the attendant took it upon herself to guide me through the boutique. She pulled out dresses, shoes, and handbags —each one more extravagant than the last. Every piece was either a limited edition or straight off the latest runway collection. My doubts crept back in, but the attendant, clearly an expert in handlin

  • Chased by my Billionaire Ex-Husband    Weekend Saga and Shopping

    Sienna’s POVThe weekend had finally arrived, and I spent most of the morning at the park with Livvy. We caught up, played around, and just enjoyed being in each other’s company before heading back to the mansion.Barely an hour after we returned, my phone buzzed with a call from Ethan.“Give me a moment, sweetie,” I said, excusing myself from the scrabble game Livvy and I were playing in my room. I picked up the call and brought the phone to my ear.“Hey,” Ethan’s deep voice greeted me from the other end of the line.“Hi,” I replied, settling against the edge of my bed.“What are your plans for today?” he asked.I glanced over at Livvy, who was busy arranging the scrabble tiles with her little fingers. A small smile tugged at my lips. Weekends were my favorite because I got to be with her all day. And to protect her from everything, even if just for a little while.“Just having fun at home with Livvy,” I answered.“That sounds... boring,” he teased, and I heard the slight stretch i

    Roman’s POVTonight, I had that dream again.The woman running, her laughter echoing in the open field as I chased her. But tonight, somehow it felt different. More vivid. More real. And for the first time, the laughter sounded familiar.Like other days, I jolted awake, breathing heavily. My body was drenched in sweat and my pulse pounded in my ears. Beside me, Sabrina lay fast asleep, her naked body curled against mine with her arm draped over my torso. The scent of sex still lingered in the air, but my mind was too clouded to care.I ran a hand through my hair, staring up at the ceiling. What the hell was this dream? And why did it feel like a memory clawing its way back? It felt like something buried deep inside me, that I couldn’t quite reach.Slowly, I turned my head, my eyes drifting to Sabrina as she slept. Could she be the woman in my dreams? My gut told me no. The laughter in the dream wasn’t hers. It was softer, warmer. As if I had heard it somewhere before. Before I c
