I hate him. I hate him more than anything in the world. He ruined my high school. He ruined my life. He was my crush, my first love. He was my bully. But now... He is my husband. To save my sick mother, my father had arranged a marriage with the son of the CEO of NAKROS Pharmaceuticals, ADAMS BLACK. I was to bear them an heir, and they get to save my mother. But how do I stay married to the one person I couldn't bear to look at? How do I bear to sleep next to the same man who had left me shattered years ago? He said he was sorry, but I was not a fool. He knelt and pleaded for my forgiveness, but I was no longer the naive weak Sienna of high school. He claimed he needed an heir? He won't fucking get it. And I have no plan on letting him know he already had, not one, but two heirs. Four years ago. ADAMS Four years ago, I fucked up. I treated the only girl I had ever loved so badly. I messed up. And when I finally saw her after four years, I needed a way to make amends, and I did the only thing I could think of.
View MoreLISA;I tapped my fingers impatiently on the table, as I sat with my phone clutched tightly in my hands."I am sorry. I can't do this anymore," He said, and I couldn't help the bile of annoyance creeping over me."What the hell do you mean you can't? Have you forgotten so soon, Doctor Robinson?"I scoffed, clenching my fists as I spoke to him." You will do as I say and on no account should you go against the plan. Failure to adhere, you know how this would end up for you.""It isn't going to end well, by the time he gets here. He warned me not to say a word. He warned me about this, so I am as good as dead either way."I scoffed, rather irritably.For a specialized doctor, he sounded too scared and witless. A smirk crept on my lips as I regarded his words carefully while watching my expression in the mirror.He had just informed me Adams was in the hospital and was likely to come seeking answers from him. Which means he wouldn't be at the house for quite some time." Why are you doin
Adams;I stood, frozen in shock at the scene in front of me. I must have uttered her name because Sienna's head snapped towards me almost immediately.I saw the tears in her eyes. I saw the detached, miserable look in her gaze, as she stood facing Doctor Robinson, and at that very moment, I didn't know how to react.She found out?No, she has found out.A feeling of dread settled in me as I took a step towards her. The moment our eyes met, I could have sworn she looked utterly relieved, but just as quickly as it came, her eyes hardened immediately." What are you doing here?" She snapped, her tone hard but steady.My mouth opened to say a word, but no words came out of it. I blinked rapidly, taking in the scene. Trying to understand what was going on.Doctor Robinson, who stood by her side, had his gaze on the floor the whole time, and I felt my blood boil.The foolish mother fucker must have informed her or let it slip in a way." Mr. Adams...." Doctor Robinson began to speak, but I
Chapter 38;Adams;My mind was a mess as I sat in the meeting room with the investors. To say I was focused would have been a joke. This was a deal I couldn't afford to miss, and as much as I was pissed that the investors had requested a pitch alongside Highlife Pharmaceuticals, it was an understatement.Just why the fuck does that mother fucker try to take everything from me? Why?Thankfully, the meeting was done and I grabbed my cell phone. No notifications. Why wasn't she picking up?Rage, with a mix of worry, bubbled in me as I thought about last night. She was shivering a lot, crying so much, and damn it, It's been quite a while I was this worried.Waking up on an empty bed left me in a sour mood this morning.Granted, I was pissed she didn't return home the previous night, AFTER going off with Kelvin, but seeing that way melted all those thoughts away.No matter how hard I tried to think, I couldn't stop worrying about what the hell happened to make her that way.I slid the cha
SIENNA;" What did you just say?" I asked, my temper rising.A heavy feeling rested on me almost immediately, and the stupid smirk on her face wasn't helping matters.Lisa was watching me, the corner of her lips becoming wider by the second.She was enjoying this." I asked you a question!" I stormed towards her, demanding to have an answer.My fingers clenched by my side, but then she chuckled darkly." What? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead, Sienna. I always knew you had a fire in you. I knew you had a bitchy side as well, why don't you go ahead and unleash it right now and stop hiding under the facade of an innocent girl."Her words were sickly sweet but filled with an icy determination. She wanted me to act. She was riling me up, no doubt.I took deep breaths, trying to control myself and my thoughts.What were the possibilities that she knew about my mother and her health condition?Has she been stalking me?Or was there something I was missing?A look of realization crossed my fe
Chapter 36Sienna;The next morning, I woke up to strong arms wrapped over my body. At first, I froze and was about to panic, as It was an entirely new experience to me. But then the familiar Cologne caught my nostrils.Adams.And just like that, the memories of the night before came to mind, making me cringe in displeasure. I wanted to palm my face at my vulnerability. Bawling like a little baby…..His warm breath brushed over my face, and I carefully raised my head a bit to stare at him.His hold on me tightened like he knew I was pulling away.He was deeply asleep, his breaths even, and as much as it felt so good and comfy in his arms, I needed to head back to the hospital.Careful not to wake him up, as he looked so peaceful sleeping, I disentangled his arms from me and tiptoed out of the bed.I was mortified as I recalled how I had shamelessly cried in his arms last night. The last thing I wanted was to bring down my guard whenever he was close.If Adams knew about my mother's sit
Chapter 35SiennaI lay on the soft, plush bed, my weak mind running with different thoughts. I wanted to be anywhere but here. I wanted to be anywhere but on this bed. But I had no choice since I was technically forced home by Sasha and Kelvin.Speaking of Kelvin, I had totally forgotten I had kept him waiting at the parking lot. He had insisted on waiting there so he could take me home after, and I just didn't have the energy to argue with him further. Not when I was super worried at that time.I knew an incredulous amount of time had passed since I found out my mother was indeed…dead. But I just couldn't bring myself to believe it.My heart felt heavy with emotions, and my eyes and body were heavy with fatigue.I felt him come in. I felt the bed dipped beside me, and for a second, I froze.Adams hadn't done as much as step into the room ever since the marriage. He gave me space.But then, I was suddenly overwhelmed with his signature scent, mixed with shampoo.It calmed me. I wante
Chapter 34 ADAMS I stared at Lisa, in surprise. She had a small smile playing on her lips and for a second, I would have thought she was actually being serious. I moved my gaze away from her and tried to move her arms off me. “ What? You don't believe me?" She gasped, in disbelief. " I am in no mood for this, Lisa. As I said, I really need to take a rest so you need to leave. Please.” Lisa's hands fell off my neck and she stood up abruptly, shaking her head. “ So you think I am making this all up? Adams, seriously?" Her voice was beginning to tremble. " I never even said anything! But If I were to say something now, it's that we both know that is not true, Lisa. And if this is a joke, then it's not really funny.” I replied with an air of finality. She stood there, with her mouth agape in shock. She began to speak but closed them right after. After a while, she shook her head yet again and turned her back stomping out of the office. A sigh of relief escaped my lips the mom
Chapter 33~ADAMS~~Releasing a groan, I made my way round the table, where a scantily clad Lisa was." What are you doing here, Lisa?" I asked, tugging at my tie to ease some the stress I felt.She was dressed in a red sleeveless nightie, which ran up her thighs as she sat on the table, Her eyes followed my movements, turning until she was facing me directly." I saw you come in..." She came down the table, eyes watching me as she stood in front of me." You looked so stressed. What happened?" Her voice was low and curious.I let out a groan, stopping her half way as she was about to reach out to me.“ What are you still doing here?” I inquired. It was pretty late, and she was supposed to have left by now?“ I don't understand, Adams. You kicking me out now?” She chuckled, raising a brow, as a frown began to make it's way to her face.“ We had this discussion already Adams. You think Aunt will be happy if she heard you are kicking me out?”I shook my head, placed the keys on the tab
Chapter 32Sienna;I stared at the recording, my eyes wide open in shock." How....how can this be?" I muttered, unable to believe what was on it.It was vividly clear from the footage. But it didn't make any sense.Of course, I could recognize myself in the recording, walking into the hospital, and then to the doctor's office.It didn't make any sense." Exactly my point too, Si," Sasha said in a low tone, coming up behind me." That is the exact same dress I gave you that day. It's strange because I knew you were not here on that day."" What day is this?" I asked inquisitively, not taking my eyes off the screen." The same day you went to see the kids." She sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat.I whipped my head towards her in an instant; surprise evident in my expression." That is not possible! And you know that!"Of course, I I do," she cooed reassuringly, placing a hand on my shoulders." But this right here contradicts everything we believe in."I stared at the doctor and
Chapter 1Sienna;"Fucking whore!""Slut!""You should be ashamed of yourself, fatty!" The words echoed around me, mingled with laughter and giggles, as I lay, shivering on the cold ground in the school cafeteria.It was the day everything in my life changed...well, not exactly, as I always knew I was not the most liked in the school, but hearing those words out loud was like raw eggs splashed on me.Literally.Shamefully disgusting.And that was how I felt. Filthy, and whatever word fits the context.His scent filled my senses, that musk-scented cologne I had come to love, and I saw his shoes as he came closer, "Please, Adams. I'm sorry. Please don't..Arghh!"The sole of his shiny Nike shoes stepped down on my palms, and he pressed down harder, "Keep this in mind, Sienna. One. You are worth absolutely nothing." I gasped, as something splashed on my face, and I could smell the disgusting fishy water."Two," Adams sneered, " You are useless and a disgrace to this school. And three, yo...
