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;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
