Chapter 5.

~ADAMS~

~~~~

PRESENT TIME

Seeing Sienna that way made my heart ache. I didn't realize her mother's condition was this critical when I hired a private investigator to stalk them.

Don't get me wrong, but I needed to get as much information about her as possible to make my plan a success.

And here we are.

“I love her,” I had said, to reassure her mother she would be in good hands, but more because I wanted her to know. I wanted Sienna to know how fuckin important she was to me.

Of course, she snapped her gaze away from me, and I noticed the way she clutched at her dress.

I stared at her father, who stood at the side, with a confused look in his gaze. It took me a second to realize that he must be so shocked at the sudden declaration.

For all they knew, Sienna and I didn't know each other before the wedding. Which made me wonder how he hadn't even bat an eyelid the moment I proposed a marriage.

“You do not have to worry, Mr Fowler. Sienna and I have met in the past.” I explained, my eyes drifting to his wife on the bed.

“Oh, you have?” He still seemed confused.

“Yes, we do. But I doubt she recalls. It has been a long time.”

Four years didn't seem like a long time. But to me, it was four excruciating long years.

“I'll be waiting in the car,” I said to Sienna a few minutes later, giving the family a little more time to bond, before I take my wife home.

I let out a deep breath as I stood out the door of the ward, collecting my thoughts.

I didn't know how long I stood there until a voice snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Mr. Black?”

I raised my head, only to see a doctor with white coat, standing before me. He had an inquisitive look on his face and pushed up his glasses like he was trying to take a better look at me.

“Doctor Robinson,”

His eyes widened for a split second, and I scoffed silently. Did he think I wouldn't know who he was?

Doctor Robinson was one of this Branch's best specialists. I had personally assigned him to Sienna's mother after going through his file.

We never met face to face, it was a surprise he could recognize me, as I had always kept a low profile.

“I didn't know you would grace us with your presence, Sir. When did you arrive?” He asked.

I stared down the halls, and then back at him. He was holding a device in his hands, and I raised a brow, ignoring his question, “What is that?”

“This is a mobile clinical assistant….”

“I know what a fucking MCA is, Robinson. What is in it?”

“Oh. These…these are the final reports for Mrs. Fowler. I was just about to go inform them.,”

There was something off in his tone and I didn't like it.

I straightened up immediately, and snatched it from his hands.

I swiped through the records silently, my brows furrowing, “What is this?”

“I'm afraid, Mrs Fowler…she doesn't have much time left. I was just about to….”

“You will do no such thing!” I retorted, my voice a threatening whisper.

I quickly led him out of the premises, and soon we were in his office, “ I instructed you, Dr Robinson, to operate on her yourself. Are you telling me you went contrary to my commands? How the fuck did they results change!?”

“I didn't, Sir. I did as you instructed. But the records say she might not have much time left.”

I swiped at the screen again, “Brain damage? How did it get to this? I just left her side and she seemed perfectly fine,”

“Yes, that was to be expected. The changes will begin to take effect gradually. They should have a heads up.”

“And you didn't see the need to inform me about this first? You have my mail. What stopped you from sending me an email about this?”

He lowered his head like he just discovered he had almost fucked up.

I took some steps towards him, “Like I said, Robinson. You will do no such thing.” I slammed the MCA on his table,” Do everything in your power, perform every necessary surgery to ensure she is back in good shape. If anything happens to her, consider your license revoked!”

He nodded frantically, eyes widened in horror, and I took a step back, “And one more thing, keep this confidential. Between us. No third party is expected to know about this!”

I stepped out of the office, in a foul mood. No way was I about to let them know about this. Nikros Medical Hospital was one of the best in the state, and I was sure she could be treated. If she could make a recovery like this after so many years, she could definitely get past this.

I couldn't imagine what it would be like when Sienna discovered her mother was….

I shook my head off the thoughts and then proceeded to step out of the hospital to wait for her.

Just as I was about to take a bend toward the elevator, I heard some familiar voices, causing me to pause in my tracks.

“You caused this! How dare you say such a thing?”

I paused in my steps and tilted my head to stare at the direction his voice seemed to be coming from.

And then I saw them. Sienna and her father facing each other as they stood in an empty ward.

“Leave and never return! Your mother doesn't need your toxicity any longer. Especially now that she is awake. You should focus on your marriage now.”

What….

I was about to push the door open, but Sienna's voice made me halt.

“Spare me that father. I'm done. I am fucking done listening to you trash-talk me all the time. What on earth is so wrong that you can't forgive? It's been four years! Four freaking years and every day, you remind me of one little mistake I made as a teenager. For fucks sake, I was just a teen! Forgive me for being foolish and reckless. Forgive me for…wanting to be that child you could be proud of.”

“All these years, I had let you speak to me like I was some sort of bad luck. Like I was the sole reason mother was in that condition.”

“Shut your mouth, Sienna. You know very well that you caused this! If only….”

“When do you plan on telling me?” she cut him off.

Her father's expression turned confused, but she chuckled, a bitter smile forming on her lips.

“Come on, Dad. Do you think I wouldn't get to find out? You never for once made me feel loved ever since I can remember. When did you plan on telling me that I was just a child you picked up from the streets?”

What the….

Her voice was steady, as she spoke, but the next second, her father was roughly pulling her by the arm.

“Let go of me, Dad!” she snapped her hand away, her anger getting the most of her, “I am not saying this so you get to give an explanation or whatever. I just want to let you know that I am fully aware that I am just an adopted child. Which, of course, explains everything.”

She hastily wiped a stray tear, “Mother was the only one who had ever truly loved me. But then I grew up to adore you. I wanted you to love me too. I saw the love you had for her, and I only wished you got to see me. You might not know, Dad, but you see that woman in there?” she pointed to the room her Mother was in, “Your wife! My mother. You are the cause of what happened to her. Mother is lying down there because of you.”

“Watch your tone, Sienna. I am still your …”

“Father? No, you are not.”

“You do not deserve to even have a child. You ruined the one you had. You made me grow up with such low self-esteem. You made me think and feel that I am always worth nothing, and guess what? Every single day of my life in high school, I was reminded of how worthless I was. But not anymore.”

I stared at her father. And there wasn't a hint of remorse in his eyes.

I chuckled. Seemed Sienna and I ran out of luck when it came to our daddies.

“I see you found out,” The father responded, his voice rising, “That's absolutely great, Sienna. I don't have to bother myself explaining any deets to you. Just so you know, this changes nothing. If you weren't in our lives…if it wasn't for your recklessness, my wife wouldn't have had a heart attack in the first place because she cared so much for a girl I didn't even know her roots!”

Okay, that was extreme. I wasn't about to stand by and watch him speak to my wife that way.

I pushed open the door with so much force in an instant and stepped into the room.

    CHAPTER 6. ADAMS; Sienna was breathing so hard, finding it hard to speak, and just like that, I found myself walking towards her. Her eyes snapped to mine first, and she hastily wiped her tears. The father turned as well, but I made my way straight to Sienna and held her by the arm softly. “Have you said your goodbyes?” I asked, but she just stared at me. Before she could pull my hands away, or reply, I turned to the father. “Sienna is my wife now, Mr. Fowler. Please, refrain from using such words on her. There is no way your own daughter will harbor ill intentions towards her mother.” I didn't give him a chance to speak. I stared at Sienna, “Ready to go?” She shook her head slowly, her eyes drifting between me and her…father. And then she said softly, “ I need to say goodbye to her.” I nodded and slowly released her arm, and she walked out of the ward. The calm expression on my face disappeared the moment she did, and my eyes slowly found their way to Mr. Fowler, who suddenly

    Chapter 7 SIENNA; “We need to talk,” I said to Adams, the moment we got into the spacious living room. I was so exhausted. Seeing my mother hale and hearty again meant a whole lot to me. I never imagined…I mean I had always prayed for a day like this, but never imagined it would come this soon. Of course, I didn't forget that Adams had made it possible. Which I knew was his way of manipulating me into believing he was a changed soul. I was grateful for that. He was right there in the room with us, so he should know just how much it meant to me. Father, on the other hand, was a sore topic. So I won't talk about him yet. I watched Adams still for a moment, and then he nodded and said softly, “Sure, have a seat.” He gestured to a sofa, and I sat down, as I was too exhausted not to sit. I heaved a silent sigh of relief when he sat on a round-shaped sofa that was practically opposite where I sat. A glance at the living room tells he was living well. I stole a glance at him as wel

Do us both a favor and never speak of this again. As I said, we should stay out of each other's way, to ensure a peaceful…. cooperation.”I turned my back on him, and thankfully, I saw the lady who welcomed us earlier, and she led me into a room.Something bugged me, though. When Dad told me I was getting married to a complete stranger, he mentioned that I would be traveling out of the country where he was based as well.I was ushered into a room. I thanked the old lady, who gave me a warm smile, and when the door closed after her, I tilted my head up to stop the tears from flowing.Of course, the room was a sight to behold. Extremely large and spacious, with a massive head propped to the far end of a wall. There was also a bath which was only separated by a thin frame of glass.Everything in here made me

His light blue eyes filled with love and immense desire.“Thank you, Sienna,” he said softly, his voice filled with emotion.“For what?” He didn't reply immediately, he leaned in and brushed his lips with mine.My heart skipped a beat, but before I could regain my composure, he had captured my lips with his. Kissing me with so much fervor, it caught me by surprise.“What…what was that for?” I found my voice, as I pulled away slightly, breathing hard.“For giving me a chance. For giving ‘us’ a chance. I was…I was a fool…an idiot in high school. Treating you the way I did...”“Shh….it's okay. It's all in the past,” I reached up and speared my fingers into his hair, loving how soft and thick his locks were. His soft groan had me whimpering for more.He slipped an arm around my waist and hauled me off onto his lap.

Is this some kind of joke? One of your taunts? Because this isn't funny, so I would suggest you get your ass out of my premises if you don't want me calling the cops on you.”But instead, she laughed harder. Her eyes trailed over me for the second time now, and she smirked, “ Hmph. I see someone has finally got some sass,”I rolled my eyes, and a scoff escaped my lips. Does she think she would be able to scare me with that?Obviously that was what she came here to do, after four freaking years, thinking that I was still the same girl they bullied.“it is such a pity, you know? Four years later, and you still decide to be a thorn in my flesh, Sienna. You think by marrying Adams you would suddenly have an edge over me?

I didn't want to imagine what would have become of it, if I hadn't arrived on time, on the day the board intended to sell some shares to Highlife Pharmaceuticals. As much as I loathed my father, and everything he represented, I was not foolish enough to let all these go to waste. It was mine now, and my duty and responsibility to take care of them for ‘me’. “I would very much like the new rule implemented as soon as possible,” I instructed, staring at the twelve board of directors sitted across me in the conference room. After making sure I was loud and clear, I stood up and headed out, with Henry slowly trailing beside me. “Phew! That was intense man! I never realized they could actually chicken out this way. But did you have to fire those ones?” “I did what I had to d

Extremely tall, and had an attitude. She stood with her shoulders squared, almost at my eye level.I might have forgotten to do a background check on her as well, when I found out she was Sienna's best and only friend.I didn't know she would be this fearless."Do you have any better idea whay king of danger you had subjected her into for years?"

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.

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

    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
