AUTHOR'S POV
“ I left her at the gate of the orphanage to save her life. ” The man said in a hoarse whisper. If there was not a mini mic attached to his shirt, Sia would not have been able to even hear his voice through the video playing.Confusion washed over Sia combined with dread that the man in the video might be talking about her. Her hands were trembling as she clicked on the pause button and the video stopped.Was she ready for it? No. No. She was not ready.She did not want to know whatever it was but staring at the man, she knew she needed to know what it was all about.With her shaky fingers, Sia pressed on the button again and the video starting running.“ Tell everything from the start. ” Lucas's cold voice appeared from behind the camera again and Sia held her breath.The man glanced at someone behind the camera and turned to stare right throughAUTHOR'S POV Standing in front of two old graves, Sia did not know what she exactly felt. She never knew these two people. Luther Martin and Lily Martin yet their connection was deeper than anything else. Their blood ran in her veins and pumped through her heart. But she was not used to this. Her whole life, she had known only herself and her loneliness. Nothing else. She was so used to it that the term family scared her now. Shaking her head, Sia turned around to leave. They were dead and she had to move on from all of it once again. All important people in her life were either dead or they left her like Harry was going to do. A red rose was clutched tightly in her hands. It was so surprising that Lara, Lucas and even John and Emily's new graves were in the same cemetry. Her parents were so close to her yet she never knew. And now, when she knew everything, it did not make any difference. Glanc
AUTHOR'S POV Sia embraced Emma closer not knowing what to say as a lump formed in her throat immediately. Emma placed her head on her shoulder and did not say anything else either. Sia's eyes travelled upto meet Hardin's baby blue orbs that were already staring at her with an unrecognizable emotion shining in them. “ I won't cry if you won't cry. ” Emma sniffed after a while and pulled away wiping her eyes with her small hands. Sia grimaced as she averted her eyes back to meet Emma's eyes that painfully reminded her of Emily's eyes. “ I won't cry. ” Sia shook her head as she pushed the tears back, looking at her. Emma pulled her closer once again and sighed out as Sia felt her heart hurting more. She was just a child yet she was like this. Emma pulled away instantly and her eyes shot up to meet hers. “ Will you play chess with me? ” The same excitement shined
AUTHOR'S POV “ I am going to leave now. ” She whispered and looked up in his eyes that were open now as his heart dropped down to the pit of his stomach. “ What do you mean by this?! ” Hardin pulled away from her and asked in a cold tone as Sia gazed up in his eyes thoughtfully. “ What do you mean by leaving?! ” He asked again with hysteria clear in his eyes. Sia heaved in a heavy breath before grabbing his hands and pushing them off her arms. She looked in his eyes for a moment before replying in a determined tone. “ I am going to take Emma and I am going to leave from here. I am going to go somewhere far from here. ” Hardin's eyes went wide realising what she was hinting at. She was talking about leaving him. She was telling him that it was over between them. It was over before it even started. “ No. No! You can't do that! ” He growle
AUTHOR'S POV “ You! You will come with me. ” He grabbed her wrist and started dragging her back inside the mansion as Sia let him take her, feeling dumbfounded. What was Hardin doing? Sia wondered but could not find the answer to that. She guessed, she would find out in a while. Hardin dragged Sia to the room on the upper floor which was his as she recognized instantly. The combination was maroon and black. It gave off an eery vibe just like his personality. He pulled her inside and closed the door behind them smoothly with a click. Sia took in the interior of the room. There was a huge king sized bed in the middle with black sheets and maroon duvet and pillows. Sia's eyes conveniently left the bed and stopped at the wall beside it. Her breath hitched when she noticed alot of pictures hanged on the wall. Her pictures. She had never seen them before though. She did
AUTHOR'S POV “ What? What did you say? ” Hardin shook his head, his heart pounding in his ears. He was wondering if what he heard was really what she spoke just now. “ I will stay. I said I wil-will stay. ” Sia immediately changed her statement, her cheeks starting to heat up. She had never said I love you to any man before and she felt like she did something out of the world just now. His shocked eyes were making her breath hitch. “ You said something else. ” Hardin's eyes darkened as a smirk tugged up at the corner of his lips. He knew that she confessed to him just now but changed her words instantly after that. She felt awkward but he would definitely hear it from her. One way or another. Sia pulled her hand back feeling nervous and turned around to march closer to the pictures that were hanged on the wall. Her hands were trembling at her side,
AUTHOR'S POV Sia turned around in the bed, her eyes opening. She did not know when she fell asleep and woke up just now. Yawning, she focused on the figure laying just beside her with his arm draped over her waist protectively. Her hand reached out to brush off his bangs away from his eyes with her fingers gently as he sighed in his sleep. An unconscious smile was tugged up at the corners of Sia's lips. Her thumb slowly drew circles on his cheek with her eyes taking in the sight before her. She had never thought that it was possible for Hardin to love her. It all felt like a lie at first but the sincerity in his eyes and the determination in his voice drove all fear away. Now there was only him and there was only her. Nothing else mattered. Atleast she could try thinking like that but she still had a hard time adjusting to this new thing. She pushed herself off the bed as she grabbed her clothes to wear them.

AUTHOR'S POV When she opened her eyes and found him on his knees in front of her with a ring box opened in front of him, all fear got replaced with awe and raw shock. It was like she would never be able to breath again. “ So? Will you marry me Sia Hardin Black? Once Again? ” He smiled nervously as he proposed to her. Sia's hands shot up to her mouth to cover it as a gasp left her lips. Tears started streaming down her red cheeks. “ I wanted to prepare a grand proposal event something but I think this is the right time for this. ” He shrugged his right shoulder as he stared in his teary eyes hopefully. His heart was beating in his ears like a drum. This was the second time in his whole life that he was so nervous. Truly scared yet hopeful at the same time. “ I think this is the best time because there is only you and me. You need me and I want to be there for you whe
AUTHOR'S POV “ We are going to marry next week. ” Hardin dropped the bomb on her and Sia's jaw hanged low in shock. Now, this was what they called going overboard with everything. Sia thought and whipped her head around to argue with him again when his hands made their way to her sides for the second time. “ Hardin Please. Listen to me. ” Sia placed her hands on his wet chest and sighed. Hardin's hands paused, his eyes assessing her expressions. “ I am listening. ” He smiled, pushing Sia's hair behind her ear softly. Sia heaved a heavy breath not knowing what to say to him. She did not know why she still felt so scared of everything. “ Don't you want to be with me? Don't you want everyone to know that we are married? ” Hardin whispered, his eyes noticing her expressions that changed to one of horror. “ No. No. It's nothing like th
