Sienna; I made my way back to the hospital, different thoughts running through my head. The anxiety I felt earlier was easily replaced with frustration with the information I had gotten.Kelvin?My heart skipped numerous times when I thought of the possibility of Adams finding out sooner than later about the kids through Kelvin.Kelvin....the same person who had saved my life. If anything, he doesn't deserve to be locked up for something he didn't do. What the hell was Adams thinking?Imagine suing a man who rescued me before I got burned to a crisp or exploded into thin air. Where the fuck was he when his stupid obsessive bitch tried to make me a charred sausage?I stormed past the hospital lobby and to the elevator, my chest heaving with uncontrollable anger, as I made my way to the floor where my ward was.I stormed into the ward Kevin had placed me in, my chest heaving in uncontrollable anger. Sasha shot up from the bed, her face contorted in worry. She shut the door after me, b
SIENNA;" I can not have this conversation with you right now. I just can't, Adams." I said, placing a hand on my forehead, trying to alleviate the ache I felt.A lot was going on in my head and he was being utterly insensible at the moment." You know that's not going to be possible, Adams. Besides, I'm getting discharged, so there is no point moving me out of here "His fingers paused mid-way, staring at me with curiosity." Discharged? What do you mean? You are still recovering."" And I just said I am going to be discharged soon. Can you just give me a moment of peace? I need to rest."His eyes flickered.. I could see the hurt flashing in them before he shook them away.A few minutes later, he left almost reluctantly, and Sasha came beside me." What is wrong?" She asked, placing a palm on my forehead, " Are you not feeling okay? Do you really want to be discharged?"" I am fine. But.... something is wrong Sasha." I said with shaky breath." I can't believe.....I think I had made a
Chapter 24 Few Days Later... I woke up groggily, the sound of a door creaking open caught my attention, asides the constant vibration from somewhere beside me. My brows furrowed, at the unfamiliar spacious room--it took me few moment to recall I was not in my room back at home, but in my husband's --Adam's mansion. The other side of the bed was empty, but as always, and very much to my satisfaction. I knew this was his room, but strangely these past few days, he had steered out of my way. It was the day I had planned to go see my mother at the hospital. I was supposed to be there as early as possible, but judging from the streams of sunlight reflecting into the room, I might be a bit late. I got up from the bed, just as Lady Agatha peeped in to the room, her hair, their usual silvery grey color, fell just above her shoulders in waves. Something delicious hit my nostrils, but I could only recognize the strong aroma of curry and spices. " Breakfast is ready, Mrs Black." She said,
Chapter 25 They all stared at me like I was some sort of alien, while my horrific eyes stared back at them. What the hell were they doing here in the first place? The hunger in me quickly dissipated, a I suddenly wanted to be anywhere but here at this point. " What is this, Adams?" I wrenched his hands away from him, sounding too pissed. His eyes was calm. A contrast to how I was feeling at the moment. " What is going on?" A voice asked, sounding curious but I could detect the pissed off tone in it, " Why is your wife refusing to come join us for breakfast, Adams?" I whipped my head to stare at who had spoken and locked eyes with an elderly man-- probably in his forties. His eyes pierced through mine as I stared. I was right. But I could detect a hint of amusement on them. " Maybe she isn't feeling too well... Are you Okay, Sienna?" What...? What was she doing here? My eyes met Lisa's and I was momentarily stunned. Hold on a moment...What was she doing here, and w
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
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.

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?"

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
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,
