Sienna;" I can't," Adams whispered, his breath fanning my cheeks, and I felt goosebumps all over my body." I can't leave you alone, Sienna. I won't do that anymore," he breathed, his eyes holding me in place. I couldn't move, nor react. I was frozen in place, well, except for the frantic beat of my heart and the fast rise and fall of my chest." You always--always push me away. And I have tried to stay away from you, believe me I have tried so fuckin hard. But tell me, what is the essence of our marriage if I am bound to stay out of your way, huh? Do you even consider how hard this would be for me?"How hard it was for him!? Is he being for real right now!?I was trying so damn hard to ignore his hands on my lower back, but it proved futile. If he could hear the loud thumping of my heart, he didn't indicate." Why--why would I care about that?" I finally found my voice, but it was low, barely above a whisper, " You--you married me against my will, Adams. You manipulated me into thi
Sienna:" Kelvin? What are you-- doing here?"He was leaning against a white Porsche, parked directly in front of the mansion.The dark shirt and jeans he wore made him look more like a celebrity or a model, and not someone who had been dealing with the stress of Adams' accusations.His jawline was defined, but his hair was messy, with few strands falling across his forehead in a way that made him look effortlessly handsome.I hadn't gotten to see him up close ever since that day at Sara's house. Well, except for the scare I got, when I thought someone was following me.More often than not, I still wondered who that man was....he was definitely not Kelvin. I found out I was mistaken, quite earlier.At my voice, Kelvin stared up at me, and pulled himself up against the car." Hi, Sienna," he said as he smiled warmly at me." I'm sorry for coming all the way here. I was driving across and decided to stop by. Hope it's okay?" His voice was low, as he searched my eyes, for any sign of hes
Chapter 28"Yes, Sienna, it's yours," Kelvin said softly, and I stared at him in bewilderment." What are you talking about, Kelvin?" I asked, surprise evident in my voice.He wouldn't possibly be giving this to me, would he?But then he reached out from under the table and brought out a file. In it was a document which he also slid towards me." You just have to sign, and it's all yours," he said, and my eyes couldn't get any wider.Holy shit, he was fuckin serious! I could feel my hands trembling, as I quickly slid it down beside me." Kelvin, I...." An awkward laugh made it's a way out of my lips and I literally have to force myself to speak." I don't understand. Why are you suddenly offering me this? Why are you doing this? I can't...I am sorry but I can't accept this." I repeated, shaking my head." Well you can't reject it either, cause it's already yours. You just need to sign," he responded, raising a brow.My brows shot up in surprise, and I immediately stood up, my eyes gla
Chapter 29; The wind whipped through me as I was suddenly yanked into a strong chest. " What the hell, Sienna! Do you want to get yourself killed!?" The familiar voice made me clear the haze in my head for a moment, and I stared up at him. " Adams? What...what are you doing here?" He stared down at me with a frown on his face, and then I straightened, trying to pull myself off him. " Um..." I began, but my vision blurred the moment I was away from his arms, causing me to sway on my feet. I felt him quickly wrap an arm over me in an instant, steadying me, as he yelled. " Can you fucking stay put? Where are you headed anyways?" " That is enough, Adams! You can't speak to her that way!" It was Kelvin, and in his voice, Adams froze. Kelvin walked over to where we stood, his eyes full of worry as he stared at me. " Are you okay?" He asked. I nodded, " I..." Adam's hold tightened on me, " Stay out of this, Kelvin. This none of your fuckin business." " It is when you are obvio
Chapter 30 ~SASHA~ My feet moved on their will, along the marble floors of the hospital. I'd been pacing, restless and so confused as I finally stood at the exit. My eyes scanned the environment; e,xcept for the few cars parked on the pavement, Sienna was nowhere in sight. Where are you, for heaven's sake, Sienna!? She should be here by now. It was but a few hours from where Kelvin had taken her. My trembling hands gripped my cell phone. She wasn't even picking up, as I had tried numerous times. " You shouldn't bother with her. You should head home because that girl I picked from the streets has finally done it!" I swiveled in time to stare at Sienna's father behind me. He has a frown on his face as he stared aimlessly ahead. Asides his red rimmed eyes, and the obvious dark circles under them, his expression was hard, almost seeming indifferent. I didn't want to imagine what he must be going through with these piece of information. " We...we could be wrong, you k
Chapter 31 Sienna; " ....and your mother is dead." Those words were out of Sasha's mouth and I stared at her in sheer confusion and disbelief. She had a wary expression on her face, and for a second I almost believed she was serious. " It's not funny, Sasha, " I chuckled, " Why would you joke with something like that? And what do you mean... CCTV what? I'm lost here." I probed, staring round the room in skepticism. But Sasha's expression didn't falter a bit. She bit her lips; she had that look when she was about to cry but holding it in. " What the hell is going on!?" I yelled out impatiently. I was beginning to lose my mind each passing minute with the dreaded silence. She was joking... right? But yet again, I questioned myself. When had Sasha ever played an expensive joke as this, with me? I felt my heart skip a beat, as I dreaded the possibilities of what she was saying. Just then, the door barged open, and my father stomped in. His lips curled up in a sneer as he
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 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
ADAMS;I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my tie. The damn thing just wouldn't stay in place, and the thought of the event wasn't helping.It's been two days since the meeting with the board members. Two days after Lisa had proposed a rather funny....proposal.Truth be told, I had thought she was only bluffing, but thr more I thought about it, the more I could see reasons with her.Highlife Groups now has the investors I had toiled so much for, and it would be a major loss to me if I do not get back on my feet Of course this was only temporary. I do not plan on remaining engaged long enough. Especially not after the impromptu divorce....I stared at my reflection on tht mirror, wondering where she might be at this time.It hurts me so much that, after everything that happened between us, she had never for once regarded me nor our relationship the way I did.The thought of letting her go nauseates me, but there was nothing else I could do. I couldn't keep her caged in here, esp
Adam's POVI stepped out of the car almost impatiently. Heavens knew that I would rather be anywhere than here at athe moment. My head was all messed up, but my responsibilities awaits me.I could hear Lisa's heels as they crinkled on the marble floors after me. I didn't know why she had taken the time to be here, but I couldn't care less at this point.Members of the board were all seated round the enormous desk, by the time I got to the conference room, and the murmures erupted almost instantly.I halted in my steps when I caught a familiar face.Aunt?She seemed to heave a sigh of relief on seeing me, and just then, her words came rushing to my mind."You need to sit up and salvage this! You are in a very vulnerable position at this point, and the company as well is almost in ruin, as they're already planning to dismiss you. You know how easy they could manipulate that. You know they've all been waiting for this opportunity!"I shook my head off the thoughts and made my way to the

SIENNA'S POV;I was a mess by the time she was done speaking“ What do you want to do now?” She asked, reaching out to hold my hands.“ I need to leave,” I said, wiping the tears off my cheeks.She let out a breath, “ That is why you signed the papers.” “ Yes,” I nodded.“ I still don't get it though….how did he agree to this? He signed it right? Why? What was….the reason he held on to?”“ The news, Sasha. The same.... one you sent to me this morning. He never released that. He never told anyone about it. And now he thinks I did it.”"So....who did?" She asked, with a curious tone."I have no idea. I'm actually pissed that he would think so low of me. Why would I do that? What on earth do I have to gain from it?"Sasha rubbed my shoulders, "Don't let it bother you, Si. You have a lot to focus on right now."I shrugged as I stared out the living room, worried a bit that I hadn't heard the twin's voice for a while.“I'm sorry that this is such short notice, but I really need to leave t
Sienna;"How is this possible? A few weeks ago I would have sworn that man would do anything to keep you within his clutches. What changed, Sienna? Something definitely happened for him to have signed it ‘cause I doubt it was a moment of goodwill?"My heart clenched as her words resonated in me. The reason he had signed the papers was definitely not because he was doing me a favor. I could clearly recall the hurt in his gaze earlier.....I could recall the ferocious look in his eyes as he cornered me in the shower and ripped my blouse.....A shiver wracked through me, and of course, Sasha noticed immediately.“ Is that….are you crying?” She muttered incredulously, peering into my eyes.“ What? No!” I defended, as I wiped my eyes. Sasha's hands held my wrists, stopping me halfway as she stared at me with worry etched in her gaze.“ What happened?” Her voice was soft, and she held my shoulders. And just like that, the tears flowed down my cheeks. I couldn't control them anymore and jus
Chapter 87 (Draco)Anonymous POV; "What the hell do you think you are doing?" I yelled out frustratingly. Henry, my personal assistant, had a horrified look on his face as he stared at me and then at the girl who looked like she had just been deprived of her favorite snack. Instantly feeling the initial desires in me dissipate, I let out a huff and walked over to the wardrobe to grab a robe. " Leave us, please," I heard Heny instruct her calmly, and my brows furrowed, wondering why he was suing that tone on her. Disregarding the thought, and feeling utterly frustrated that I was also deprived of my satisfaction, I grabbed a bottle of wine from the cellar behind the wardrobe, opened it and rank directly from it. My feet found their way to my sofa, bath as the girl sashayed out of the room. " I expect to get an explanation from you, Henry. What the fuck is this? You of all people should know I do not take kindly to getting distracted whenever I am with..." " I am r

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 a
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
