Sienna's POVThe cell phone slipped off my hands, clattering to the floor, while I stared in a daze.What...what was that?Who the hell was that? I could feel my heart beating rapidly in my chest as I tried to rationalize what I had just heard.A lump formed in my throat, as my eyes found the phone on the floor. In a frenzy, I picked it back up.I didn't know if the person was still on the line but I gripped the phone tightly regardless, "Hello? Who is this? Who are you?""I do not think it is necessary to know who I am...Sienna."My brows shot up in an instant, as instant fear gripped me. He knows my name. How the hell does he know so much? Right now, my biggest concern is how he also got to know about the kids. How was this possible?Only Sasha knew about them, and it wouldn't make sense that she was behind this. Sara?No...Although my first thought was Lisa, that doesn't sound like her one bit. That doesn't sound like her at all. But do I know her?What if it was a ploy to get m
Lisa's POVA few hours earlier...My mind kept drifting to Kelvin's words back at his villa. It's been quite a while, and I hated how bugged I was since that day, which was why I hired a private investigator to check it out. To tail her.It's been a week since, and right now, as I stared at the files that the private investigator just mailed me, my brows creased in confusion.He was on the line, explaining his findings as well."The photos are all in there. Everything you need." He said as I browsed through the photos.In the first slide, a little boy of around three years old smiled at the camera. His dark hair fell in waves across his forehead.I swiped at the next and saw a picture of the same little boy. It took me a while to discern that they were twins.But the next slide was what sent my brows shooting up in shock. Sienna.Walking into a house with the twins beside her."What is this? Why is she with them?" I spoke through the earpod I was on."I believe they are her kids, ma
Lisa's POVI stood on the balcony of the suite where I stayed now, ready to call her again. Kelvin, as usual, had refused to pick up my calls for the umpteenth time, and I was taking matters into my own hands." Remember, follow my instructions, and everything will move smoothly," I spoke to the other end. I had made sure to use voice modulation so she couldn't detect my voice at all."Who are you?" She asked. I knew she was wondering and I wasn't ready to fuel her curiosity yet. This was fun anyway."You do not need to know who I am. All you should be bothered about is the safety of your children." I said bitterly, hating how it tasted on my lips.How dare she bear his child? How dare she? Not one, but two?"I know more than you would ever think, and I know everything about you and your twins. Of course, the moment you do as much as informing anyone about this conversation, be rest assured that you have compromised their safety."I could hear her gasps from the other end, and I reli
Sienna's POVSara called, asking for the twins, and despite the raging storm in my head, I assured her they were fine. I knew she had a more closer bond with them, and was prone to get worried if she knew something was wrong."I will be back in a week. You know this is the longest I have ever been without the kids, and I miss them so much." She laughed.I chuckled, trying to make the situation lighter, but eventually, I had to hang up, as I couldn't control my trembling hands and shaky voice any longer.I was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, my hair disheveled, eyes sunken as I hadn't even been able to get a good night's rest.Running a hand through my hair, I paced around. It was early dawn, and I didn't even want to think about what was going on.Switching on the tap, I dialed Sasha's number."Sienna?" Her voice was groggy, obviously still in bed."Hey, did I wake you?""No, no. I just woke up now. Liam woke me up just a few minutes ago. That guy is a light sleeper.
SIENNAI lay on the bed, wide awake, staring at the ceiling as my thoughts roamed wild. My mind just ran in circles.All I could think about was the pitch. I didn't even know what it looked like, or if I would ever get it. But if I didn't get my hands on it soon, I'd lose everything that made sense to me in this life.My precious kids.My heart skipped a beat at the thought of ever losing them to something as trivial as this.No. I couldn't do that."The damned pitch," I muttered under my breath rolling to the other side of the bed.But how would I do it without him finding out? Adams was discreet, and cautious. And there was absolutely no way I could deter the Blackmailer. He was always one step, one ahead. I needed to be smart.I need to look for the pitch or whatever when Adams step out, because how else could I, without rousing suspicions?I wasn't ready for any questions he might have and I was definitely not ready to ghbe him any answers.Not ever.Due to this little 'mission,
SIENNA;"Sienna, what are you doing?" He repeated. His voice was low but had an edge to it that ran a chill down my spine.My throat went dry; as my mind scrambled for an answer. "I...." My voice cracked, and I cleared my throat, willing my voice to sound normal. "I was just looking for a piece of paper."Adam raised one eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "A piece of paper?"Yeah," I stammered, forcing a shaky laugh. "I thought maybe I left it here accidentally. You know, those silly things that you could be without for months and only then would notice."The silence stretched, his eyes narrowing slightly as he studied me. My palms were damp, my pulse racing, but I kept my face as neutral as possible. "What are you doing back?" I asked quickly before he could press further. "I thought you had a meeting."His lips twitched, almost like he wanted to smirk but didn't. "I forgot something," he said simply.That is when I noticed he was holding the file. My stomach tensed, and my eyes darted
Sienna's POV;I made up my mind. As much as I knew that whatever it was, the blackmailer needed from Adams was something very important to him, I was hesitant.But what could I do when my kid's lives are in jeopardy?I needed to act now, and fast.So, right now, I was on my way to his office. Getting the address was a piece of cake as I had one agenda in mind.I was let in almost immediately. The receptionist and some staff welcomed me nicely, and I could only assume that they already knew who I was.Well, I didn't have the time to dwell on that at the moment. I made my way to Adam's office as shown by a kind staff.On getting there, and without bothering to knock, I pushed open the door and stepped in.He was in the middle of a conversation with someone, sitting on a chair, while his brows were pulled together in concentration.But the moment the door opened, they both paused, and their gazes moved towards me."Sienna?"

Adams;My breathing was ragged, as I stood there in utter shock. Her eyes didn't leave mine, even as she took more steps towards me until the only space left between us was mere inches.A lump formed in my throat, and I swallowed harshly, shutting my eyes tight."What are you doing, Sienna?" I asked in a croaked voice.My fingers were clenched in a fist, nails digging into my palms harshly. All too sudden, I felt soft hands on my arms, and my eyes flew open.In a swift move, I grabbed her by the waist, pulling her dangerously close to me."What are you doing, Sienna?" I repeated, trying so hard and with everything in me to not give in to the treacherous desires in me.She was so fucking beautiful. So gorgeous and unbelievably sexy, that I couldn't help but pull her closer, letting my hands roam over her sides." Giving you what we both wanted." She whispered, as she snaked her hands over my neck."What?" My voice was raspy, my breathing uneven, and I buried my face in her neck. The s
Adams;Few hours later, I was sat on an empty sofa, with a wide grin on my face. Sienna had left earlier; her friend, Sasha had called and as much as I had wanted to drive her, she had insisted on going alone.I didn't want to push it, especially not after what had just happened. For the first time since we got married, this was the closest we have gotten to a mere conversation.She might not have forgiven me now, but I knew we are making progress, and she was willing to listen to me. And for that, I was utterly grateful. A cough sounded behind me, pulling me out of my thoughts. I snapped my head up, only to find Henry standing in front of me with a wide grin on his face."I can see someone is in a good mood." He chuckled."You can say that again. How long have you been standing there?" I asked, as I stood, going over my desk to grab my keys."Where are you going?" Henry asked with a raised brow."What do you mean...I am heading home of course." I said, unsure on why he was asking t
Adams;Opening up to Sienna this way has always crossed my mind. But I had been so skeptical of her reaction.I wasn't mistaken. I could clearly see the judge in her eyes. She blamed me. She didn't see me differently.I wondered if I had worsened the situation, but regardless, I was adamant about not letting that stop me.Right now, she had her eyes wide open in astonishment, as it seemed that she had come to a sudden realization."I know what you are thinking," I began, but she raised a hand to stop me." And I just happened to be your outlet, didn't I? How does it fuckin make sense to you, Adams? How does it make sense that...that you went through all that grief? All that pain... and...and the best way you could handle it was to subject me to that terror? You bullied me! You let others walk all over me! You did me dirty back then, Adams... You...Do you even have any idea what you cost me?" She choked, trying to gather her words, and I just sat there, unsure of how to act or what to
Siennas pov;My fingers moved on their own accord and gently brushed over the scar.That was a mistake on my part, as I felt Adams suck in a huge breath, and his eyes darkened."Here," I brushed my fingers on the exact spot. He wasn't taking his eyes off me.I quickly withdrew my hand, noticing his mood had shifted."I'm..I'm sorry," I found myself apologizing, but it only made him frown."You are acting strange, Sienna. What is it you want to talk about?"I ignored the subtle deflection of my initial question, assuming he did not want to talk about it. Hell, what do I even care?Do I even care?I grabbed my glass of wine and downed the entire liquid in a go. I wondered how I would be able to get the stuff from his assistant, in case he came in or not.Boy nevertheless, I needed to stallI stared at Adams, and maybe it was the effect of the wine, I saw the boy I was once in love with.
