The Favorite Montgomery Couples

Sienna’s POV

The 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. I let my emotions get the best of me. I’m so sorry…” 

“Emotions?” She repeated with a mocking laugh and shot me laser glares. “It doesn’t matter if Mrs. Montogomery is your twin sister or whatnot. You’re a professional, Miss Blake. At least, you’re supposed to be. But I can now clearly see that you’re not. First, the scandal at your previous branch, and now this? Do you have any idea how fragile your position here is?”

I bit my lip and glanced out through the glass walls of the office to see my colleagues stealing glances into the office and whispering amongst each other. They were obviously making a joke of my situation. 

“I’m sorry.” I muttered again as I turned my gaze back to Ms. Leen. But as expected, she did not buy it. Instead, she sighed and rubbed her temples as if the mere sight of me gave her a headache.

“Sorry doesn’t cut it, Sienna. If I didn’t have my hands full with today’s interview, I would fire you on the spot.”

The word ‘fire’ sent a chill down my spine. I couldn’t lose this job. This was the only way I could take care of my daughter and I.  

I opened my mouth to plead with her, but I was interrupted by the office door swinging open. I turned my head to see Roman walking in first, his tailored suit hugging his broad shoulders perfectly, exuding the kind of confidence that made everyone else in the room feel smaller. And then, Sabrina followed, her makeup flawless and her hair done perfectly. 

“Ah, Mr. Montgomery, Mrs. Montgomery.” Ms. Leen’s face brightened as soon as she saw them and she brushed past me roughly as she walked up to them in all smiles. “I’ve been expecting you.  Please, have a seat.”

Roman’s eyes flicked to me for the briefest second, causing my heart to beat even faster. And then, he moved on as if I were invisible, causing me even more hurt. Sabrina, on the other hand, offered me a polite, almost pitying smile before taking the seat next to him.

What a manipulative bitch!

“Thank you, Ms. Leen.” Sabrina said to her, her voice soft and melodious. “We’re thrilled to be here.”

“Aww. Thank you, Mrs. Montgomery. Your dress is gorgeous, by the way. You’re the perfect match for Mr. Montgomery.” Ms. Leen gushed over them, in all smiles as if she was not the same person who was looking at me with so much disdain a while ago. 

“You flatter me, Ms. Leen.” Sabrina laughed softly. “Thanks for sending us an invite for your interview, by the way.”

“It’s my pleasure, Mrs. Montogomery.” Then, glancing at me for a second, her smile slipped slightly and she eyed me terribly. “You know, we initially planned for Miss. Blake to conduct the interview, but given the circumstances last night, we’ve reassigned it to someone else. I hope you are okay with that?”

“Of course,” Sabrina said sweetly, glancing at me now doe eyed and with a false innocence. “It’s probably for the best.”

I clenched my fists beside me, forcing myself to remain composed. I stood like an outcast, watching them talk for a few more minutes before Ms. Leen ushered them to the studio.

At the studio, I was reduced to a glorified mic operator while the interview carried on and I was forced to watch with my heart clenched against my chest. 

“So, everyone has been dying to know. How did everyone’s favorite Montogomery couple meet?” The host asked them and Sabrina giggled, glancing at Roman as if the memory filled her with pure joy. Roman on the other hand, kept his face as bland as sandpaper. Occasionally, he glanced my way and a small frown furrowed against his brows. There was still no sign of a single recognition in his eyes. He was a great actor, I would give that to him.  

“We met at a children’s event.” Sabrina answered. “I was visiting for charity work, and Roman was there too. Then, he caught me when I almost fell in the presence of the kids. He says it was love at first sight.”

The audience cooed, enchanted by the story. But my stomach churned. That wasn’t her story. It was mine. She stole my story!

I gripped the mic stand tighter, biting back my tongue to stay silent. I was surprised that Roman didn’t correct her. He just sat there, nodding along as if every word she spoke was the truth. 

After the interview finally ended and Sabrina and Roman made their way to the exit, I couldn’t hold back any longer. I dropped the mic and ran after them.

“Sabrina!” I called after her. 

They both turned their heads to see me and I noticed as Roman tried to put her behind him protectively but she stopped him, placing a hand on his arm. 

“It’s fine.” She said. “She’s my sister. I'll handle it.”

I felt fresh pain again. I had now become a threat that needed protecting from?  

Sabrina walked up to me, her expression a mixture of exasperation and false concern. “What is it, Sienna?”

“What is it?” I repeated, trying so hard not to get angrier than I already was. “How about the fact that you’ve stolen everything from me? My story, my husband, my life—everything!”

Sabrina sighed like she was tired of my flings. Then, she glanced around to ensure no one was too close to listen to our conversation.

“You’ve always been dramatic, sister.” She said. “Even when we were kids.”

“Don’t.” I warned, my voice trembling now. “Don’t act like you’re the victim here. You abandoned me after our adoption. You’ve treated me like trash our entire lives. And now, you’re married to him?”

Sienna rolled her eyes at me as if she was getting bored of our conversation.

“I didn’t abandon you, Sienna. We were adopted by different families. It wasn’t my fault I was adopted by a wealthy family and you were taken in by a poor family.”

“You are so evil.” I said bitterly, fighting back tears that welled in my eyes now. “What did I ever do to you?”

She smirked now and tilted her head. 

“Look, I know you’re struggling. If it’s money you need, I can help you out. Just say the word and stop trying to drag me in the mud.”

Her words hit me like a slap but I still refused to let the tears in my eyes fall. 

“I don’t want your money, Sabrina.”

“Then what do you want?” She asked, her tone bored. “An apology? Closure? Grow up, Sienna and stop playing the pity card all the time. Life isn’t fair.”

I stared at her, searching for any trace of the sister I had once known before our adoption at age thirteen. But there was nothing. Just a cold, calculating, heartless woman who saw me as an inconvenience.

“I spoke to Ms. Leen.” She added, her voice softening. “You won’t lose your job. You’re welcome.”

Slipping back her usual fake smile on her face, she waved at me and walked back to Roman, who gave her a small peck on the forehead before they walked away again. 

I stood there for a moment, completely shocked and hurt. Thankfully, I was interrupted by a beep of my phone. Checking my phone, I saw that it was a message from an unsaved number. 

“I CAN TELL YOU EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO ROMAN AND WHY HE IS WITH THAT BITCH, SABRINA, INSTEAD OF YOU. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT THE TRUTH, MEET ME AT CRYSTAL BAR TONIGHT NIGHT BY 8PM, PROMPT. DO NOT BE LATE. AND MAKE SURE YOU COME ALONE.”

    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

    Roman’s POVBy the time Riley and I got home, it was almost nighttime. 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

    Sienna’s POV“Happy birthday, sleepyhead!” I raised my voice as I hovered over Livvy’s sleepy frame with a small birthday cake in my hand, its pastel pink frosting decorated with sugar flowers and a single candle flickering softly. “Mommy…” Livvy stirred and stretched as her lashes fluttered awake. 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

    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

    Candice’s POVTWO DAYS LATERI rang the doorbell and waited, clutching my purse and shifting nervously on my feet. I wasn’t sure how to face Sienna after everything that had happened. She hadn’t answered any of my calls or replied to my messages. Guilt had been eating me alive, and it took everything I had to summon the courage to come here.When the door finally opened, my heart skipped a beat as Sienna’s frame greeted me. She stood in the doorway, a mixture of slight surprise and exhaustion on her face. She looked somehow frail. Her shoulders were slumped and her eyes were puffy and red as if she had been crying. Seeing her like this made the guilt in me even worse, and for the millionth time, I hated myself for ever being involved with Sabrina.“Candice?” She said, a faint frown creasing her forehead. “What are you doing here?”I tried to smile, even though my throat tightened with the threat of tears. “You weren’t answering your calls or messages, and you’ve been out on sick l

    Roman’s POV“Roman, please! Listen to me!" Sabrina cried, chasing after me as I stormed into the house. All thanks to her, I couldn’t even focus, let alone enjoy my own company’s campaign launch event. And so, as soon as it was over, I had driven straight home. But she still wouldn’t get off my back. “Listen to me already, please!” She begged, grabbing my arm to stop me from walking further.Unable to hold back my anger anymore. I spun around immediately, glaring at her with my nose flaring with rage. The fury in my eyes must have been enough because she took a step back.Good for her.“What could you possibly have to say to me now?” I hissed, my voice low but dripping with so much rage. “What more lies are you going to tell me?”I took a step closer and she backed away, her eyes wide with tears. Fake tears.“You told me and everyone else, that Sienna was the villain. That she hated you, that she tried to take everything from you!” My fists clenched tightly in an effort to control my

The impact sent Sabrina staggering backward, forcing her to grab the edge of the sink to steady herself.I froze, watching the scene unfold in disbelief. Ever since Candice had mistaken me for Sabrina and attacked me that day, I had known there was some bad blood between them. But this? This was on another level. For the first time, I might finally understand what had fueled their hatred.“For three years, I’ve been waiting for this moment.” Candice hissed with blazing eyes as Sabrina slowly straightened herself, her hand pressing against her reddened cheek. Her perfectly styled hair was now slightly disheveled, and a small cut on her lip trickled crimson. But if she felt any pain, she didn’t show it. Instead, she smirked. “Long time, no see, Candice.” She said coolly. “I thought you had left the city for good.”“I thought so too.” Candice

    Sienna’s POVONE WEEK LATER“You can open your eyes now,” Candice whispered, stepping back as she finished my makeup. I opened my eyes slowly and looked at my reflection in the mirror. A smile crept my face as I admired the look. Soft and glowing with warm tones that enhanced my features without looking overdone. My hair was styled into loose waves, cascading over my shoulders effortlessly. It wasn’t bold or dramatic. Just simple and elegant. Candice had insisted I dress the part. As the creative director behind the recent successful campaign for a multi billion dollar company, now being courted by top brands, I had to exude confidence and style. And I shared her vision. “Too stunned to speak?” Candice teased, grinning as she watched me through the mirror.I let out a soft laugh. “It’s perfect. Thank you.”“Alright then.” Candice said, tidying up her vanity table which was cluttered with makeup and brushes. “Ethan’s waiting outside. He can get really cranky when we’re late.”I stoo

    Roman’s POV“Roman!” Sabrina’s furious, voice rang out behind me as I sipped from my glass of sparkling water while skimming through the Vogue copy in my hand.“Care to explain this?!” She slapped the same Vogue copy on the table before me, literally fuming with rage. As much as her outburst irritated me, I tried my best to remain calm and composed.Setting my glass down, I lifted my gaze to her reddened face and raised an eyebrow in silent inquiry. “What do you mean?”“This!” She pointed at Sienna’s image on the cover page. “How can you let this happen?!”My frown deepened. I couldn’t understand how someone could hate their own sister’s success so much. Even if Sienna was so evil, getting so angry over her doing well didn’t make any sense.It was thoughts like this that made me doubt Sabrina’s truth sometimes.“You’re not making any sense, Sabrina.” I said to her, doing my best to still keep my tone calm. “All I see is a young woman who is succeeding in her field….”“Succeeding, my

    Sienna’s POVAs I half-walked, half-skipped into the company building, a smile played on my lips and my heart felt warm against my chest.Catching a glimpse of Ms. Helen cleaning the corridor, I waved gingerly at her, my teeth flashing in a big smile.“Morning, Ms. Helen!”“Good day to you too, Miss. Blake.” Ms. Helen returned my wave with a smile, which carried a subtle hint of confusion. “You look and sound really cheerful today. What’s the good news?”“Oh.” I laughed again, waving her off. “It’s just that the weather feels like today. I have a feeling we’re going to have a wonderful day today. Anyway, have a great day, Ms. Helen.”I waved at her again as I walked away and Ms. Helen chuckled good-naturedly, waving me back.As I strode down the hallway, my thoughts drifted back to Roman and the spicy event of last night. It felt like one of the dreams I had always had during these past years. Those dreams of when he would slip under the covers beside me and make sweet love to me.And

    Sienna’s POV“Kiss me. Kiss me, please.”The ghost of my plea from the campaign’s after-party fell on my ears as I stared at Roman’s tall, black-clad figure waiting for me by my doorsteps.“Fuck.” I cursed in my head. Why was he here? Did it have something to do with the after party?Embarrassed by my drunken plea of the night before, I had spent all morning before our return trying my best to have as minimal contact with Roman as possible.My heart beat raced and I dug my fingers subconsciously into my now palms. Did I maybe blurt out something else last night? About him being my ex husband or perhaps about Livvy being his daughter?God, please! Let it not be either of the options. The thought alone was horrifying. I tensed as he walked up to Livvy and I with a small smile gracing his face, meant to ease my mind. But it didn’t. Instead, it worsened my state of unrest. My grip on Livvy’s hand tightened and I pulled her closer to me protectively.“Mommy. Who is that man?” She asked m

As soon as our return flight from Ibiza touched the soil of New York City, I had dropped my things at my place and boarded a taxi here without any delays, anticipating to see Livvy. To hug her, see her warm smile again, and tell her how much I haf missed her.Less than a minute later, the door was pushed open from the inside and Candice’s cheerful face greeted me.“Omg! It’s you, Sienna!” She squealed in delight before throwing her arms around my neck in an embrace. I chuckled softly at her contagious happiness. “Mommy! You’re back!” A small voice came from behind Candice and she stepped aside, giving way for me to see Livvy running towards me, a plush teddy bear in her hand.“Sweetie!” My heart warmed instantly and I crouched to the ground, spreading out my arms to catch her in a hug just on time. Even though it had only been three days, it felt as

    Sienna’s POVAfter Harper left me to join his friend, I stood from the bar stool, swaying slightly as the alcohol pulsed through my system. 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
