Chapter 35

Sienna

I 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 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

    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 fea

    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

    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

    LISA;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

    Chapter 41Lisa;"The kids?" I asked as I watched him dress up quickly.Kelvin walked up to me, wrapping an arm around my waist, "Yes, Lisa. I know we still have a lot to discuss. I just have to attend to an emergency."I shook my head, blinking in confusion, "Yeah. I get that. That's not what I'm saying. What kids? You never told me about them.""I didn't?" He shrugged, with a distant look in his eyes, "must have skipped my mind. We just arrived in the city a few weeks back, and this is the second time we are meeting here in this city."I let out a deep breath. He had a point. Kelvin and I had been working together for a while now, we kinda hit it off ever since we were in New York. Of course, I knew he had an animosity with Adams, but I was way wiser than that. Kelvin and Adams had always been at each other's neck for a long while, for obvious reasons. Reasons I still couldn't fathom the importance. But I couldn't resist the opportunity to keep him closer to me."Oh? That's fine.

    Chapter 42Sienna;It was almost nighttime, and I still didn't understand what was going on. I was numb and unfeeling, and my head was filled with so many thoughts.Why do I have to be subjected to life like this? Why do I always have to be at the receiving end of every wrong thing happening? I let the tears fall down my cheeks again, but this time I was able to feel them. The deed had been done, I thought. But that didn't erase the fact that I was so fucking pissed as to how I was dealt with. According to Sasha, my mother's body had been taken care of--she got that information from my beloved father, who felt it wasn't necessary to inform 'the girl he licked from the streets and had been a nuisance to their life ever since.' It was all good though, but I didn't expect it to hurt this way. I didn't. I didn't do anything wrong. I straightened on the bench where I sat, tilting my head down the hall when a figure caught my eyes. I blinked, and then I immediately stood, apprehension

    Adams; I couldn't sleep. I stayed awake all night, perched down by the door outside the room while I listened to her sobs all through the night. I felt terribly shitty and so fuckin sorry for what she was going through, and yea, I couldn't bring myself to go back into the room to console her, even as every inch of me craved to do so. I couldn't bring myself to go to bed either, as I knew I had a hand in messing things up this time again. I had barged into Doctor Robinson's office the other day, demanding an explanation for his actions. I must say, I admired his guts for going against our agreement. I and absolutely no use for him, and I was not about to let him roam free after that taunt. He still has a lot of explanations to do either ways as I was far from done with him. I glanced at my watch for the umpteenth time, heaving a sigh, as worry clouded me. It was 9am, past breakfast time, and she hadn't eaten. I stood, leaning on the door for a moment before I raised my hand to

    Adam's POV"Is this supposed to be Joke, Henry? Cause this isn't funny one bit." I responded."Definitely not. I am as confused and surprised as you are." He answered, seemingly serious.I huffed impatiently, "Can you hear yourself right now? You are not making any sense here, and I really need to have a much-needed rest,"I needed time to process the events of the day and I would very much love to be alone at the moment.Just a few hours ago, I had sent away some news reporters gathered at the front of the house. Those motherfuckers didn't hesitate to pull up at my gate, hoping that could get a speech off me.I was utterly pissed, especially since I couldn't sue the agency who leaked the news. According to them, it was sent in through an anonymous link, and it was 'their duty'1 to release it.Speak of utter bullshit!Right now, I was in no mood to listen to Henry rant about....whatever it was he had seen. And I absolutely didn't want a single reminder of Sienna at the moment, but he

    ADAMS;I wasn't expecting her to come back here. And I definitely wasn't expecting her to find me in the shower as well.My fists clenched as I stormed towards her in the bathroom, and when I saw how she recoiled, a new wave of anger surged through me. My eyes trailed down to the little wet patch on her blouse, and filled with an intense rage I didn't see coming, my fists reached out and ripped it off.Her startled gasp was everything. "I asked you to get out, didn't I? I clearly said I didn't want to see your face ever again, but you are just so stubborn, aren't you?"Her eyes were wide, and her hands convered her breasts, as she stared at her in shock.Suddenly, there was a bang on the door, which made me pause momentarily as I tilted my head to the side.I stared back at her, and then I grabbed a towel on the rack behind me and stepped out.*****My brows furrowed, when Agatha Informed me, yet again that Henry was in the living room waiting for me.

    Sienna;I took a step in, and then another, swallowing harshly as I finally found myself in front of the desk.His eyes didn't leave mine, and hell, I could see them swirling with an intensity I couldn't quite place.The tea tray dropped down on the desk with a silent clatter, and I heaved a sigh "For you," I whispered, wanting nothing but to turn back and get the hell out of this office, but my feet stayed rooted to the spot.Adams stared at me for a long while, but eventually tore his eyes away from me. He was angry, judging from the way his fingers clenched into fists on the desk and the not-so-subtle way his jaw ticked continuously."Are..are you okay?" I found myself asking, unable to tear my gaze from him. He looked so broken, but he wasn't really expecting me to throw everything he did out to the air just because of what he went through or because of last night, did he?Granted, I felt shitty he had to go through that, but I had a valid reason for doing what I did.

    Sienna;I had dropped off the drive as instructed by whoever the blackmailer was, and it's been exactly five hours since I left the house.Not only did...whoever was delayed in sending me a location where I could drop it off but it also made me trek a long distance from where the taxi dropped me to an uncompleted building.I had no idea what importance it holds, but I was sure It was something of great value, for my children's life to be at stake for it.Still, I was far from relieved, especially after knowing that whoever that was, definitely knew her address already and might not hold their end of the deal.I had called Sasha a few minutes ago to check up on the kids whilst informing her I would be at the house in no time.But in the meantime, I needed to get something from the house. Glancing at my wristwatch, I nodded, determined that Adams would most definitely be at work by now.I needed to get something rather important I had forgotten back in the room. If it wasn't of great im

    Adams;Few hours later, I was ast on an empty sofa, with a wide grin on my lips. Sienna had left earlier; her friend, Sasha had called and as much as I had wanted to drive her, she'd 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 know we are making progress, and she was willing to listen to me. And for that, I am grateful.A cough sounded behind me, pulling me out of my thoughts. I snapped my head up, only yo 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'm heading home of course."Henry shook his head, as he reminded me, "You recal

    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

    Sienna;"I killed him," Adams said and I immediately recoiled from him, my mouth parted in shock as I moved back a bit."What did you say?" I blinked at him, wondering if I was already getting tipsy, attributing to hearing things that weren't even said.But the look in his eyes was firm, serious even."You...you killed your father?" I asked, dumbfounded, "Oh my God, Adams!"The irritation and confusion were clear in my tone as I stared at him. My thoughts were jumbled, making a mess in my mind as I tried to rationalize his words."It isn't something I am proud of, Si. Actually, I... you're the first person I'm telling this to. I am not saying this for you to feel pity for me. It would probably change your perspective of me, but I just want to be entirely open with you."My body moved on its own accord, and before I knew it, I had stood."No, Adams! You will not justify this. You shouldn't! What are you even saying?"He stood up after me, but I moved backward, causing him to stop in hi

    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,

    Adam's POVI sat shirtless on the couch, my glass of whiskey resting on my knee, while my hand supported it. Midnight had come and gone and Sienna was still out. The air felt heavy but I stayed put waiting.Once in a while, my eyes strayed to the wall clock, counting down the seconds until she would show up through the front door. A few times, I dozed off but as soon as I did, I jerked back awake. Finally, the door creaked open. I turned to look at Sienna and frustration replaced relief. She walked in like I wasn't even there. Her head held down and her steps quick. I put the glass down and followed after her. “Sienna,” I called with a calm voice, despite the whiskey burning in my throat.She ignored me. “Sienna!” I called louder, pushing myself forward on the springs of my feet. She stopped then but she barely turned her head to acknowledge me. “What do you want now?” She sounded distant and even her eyes were as hard as steel. I closed the distance between us, each step delibe
