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 piously yelling at her and
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; except 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 know?" I shru
Chapter 31Sienna;" ....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 spoke to me. "
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
Chapter 1Sienna;"Fucking whore!""Slut!""You should be ashamed of yourself, fatty!" The words echoed around me, mingled with laughter and giggles, as I lay, shivering on the cold ground in the school cafeteria.It was the day everything in my life changed...well, not exactly, as I always knew I was not the most liked in the school, but hearing those words out loud was like raw eggs splashed on me.Literally.Shamefully disgusting.And that was how I felt. Filthy, and whatever word fits the context.His scent filled my senses, that musk-scented cologne I had come to love, and I saw his shoes as he came closer, "Please, Adams. I'm sorry. Please don't..Arghh!"The sole of his shiny Nike shoes stepped down on my palms, and he pressed down harder, "Keep this in mind, Sienna. One. You are worth absolutely nothing." I gasped, as something splashed on my face, and I could smell the disgusting fishy water."Two," Adams sneered, " You are useless and a disgrace to this school. And three, yo
Chapter 2Sienna;I let in a sharp intake of breath, and my eyes snapped open. Looking around, I discovered I was in a moving vehicle. Feeling something warm and soft against my cheeks, I blinked. A hand was on my hair, and fingers gently brushed my face.I sat up sharply, realizing I was resting on someone's lap. My eyes trailed up from the black pants to a toned chest, hidden beneath a black shirt, tight against his torso.My stomach churned, as I saw the face.Adams.The Adams Black. His eyes were closed. He was... Sleeping? "What..what..." I choked out, unable to form a coherent sentence. A familiar ringtone sounded from behind me, which I could recognize as mine.I grabbed my cell phone from the car seat, not wanting to dwell on how it, or I, rather, had gotten here in the first place."Hello?" My voice was shaky, matching the loud thump of my heart."I knew you could never be relied on!" My father's deep angry voice sounded from the other end, and I blinked, "You couldn't eve
Chapter 3. Sienna"What do you think you are doing? Let go of me, Adams." I tried to move away from him, but his hold on me was just so tight and firm."Please, Sienna," He held me so that I was looking directly into his eyes." I know an apology will not cut it...."My heart thumped loudly, and I moved my head away, but he held me in place, his voice firm, but soft, " Please just listen. I know there's nothing I can say or do right now to make up for everything I did in the past, but be rest assured that I will spend the rest of my life making amends. I am deeply sorry, Sienna. You do not have to believe it but I am." Scoffing loudly, I pretended like I didn't just hear him say that. He's sorry my ass.I stared at his eyes. Those same blue shades as my sons. They both had blue eyes. I felt a lump in my throat and I forced my eyes away. I refused to be reminded of those times when we sat together in the empty classroom. Those times we just sat, even without speaking. When it was j

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
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
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
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
