Sienna's POV

The music was loud, the lights dazzling. His hand rested on my waist to pull me closer and for a moment, I believed it. All of it.

It seemed like all the whispers and rumours about him vanished when he gave me a twirl and a dip. None of the bad gossips about him mattered anymore because Adam was mine tonight.

“You're so beautiful,” he said with his voice soft in admiration. His eyes stayed locked on mine like I was the only one in the room and I basked in his attention.

I looked away, unable to keep holding his gaze. “You don't have to keep saying that.”

“But it's true.” His fingers, in feather like motion, brushed my cheek. I shivered. “Tonight's perfect. You're perfect.”

I smiled then leaned into his hold. He'd asked me to prom, the guy every girl wanted and here we were—dancing, laughing and ignoring the glares drilling holes into our backs.

For the first time, I felt seen. I felt special.

But perfection is fragile. Wasn't that what they said?

  • MY BULLY, MY HUSBAND    Taking The Kids

    Sienna's POVA week later, I got a call from Sara. Something about her calling out of the blues unnerved me. Were my children okay? I couldn't stomach the thought of anything happening to them. How would I be able to live with myself?“I have a business trip,” she revealed as soon as I answered the call. She didn't even bother with pleasantries. It had to be urgent then. “I can't take the kids with me.”“What?” I stared at the wall in disbelief, phone pressed to my ear. Looking around to find no one, I whispered, “you know I can't bring them here too. You know this more than anyone else.” “You know I'd love to take them with me but this is business and not some funfair for kids. You have to figure out a way, Sienna.” Her voice was too calm. Meanwhile, I was trying to not have a panic attack. Bringing them here could spell a lot of trouble. “There's—”“It's just three weeks,” she cut in quickly, like she already knew what I'd say. “Besides, wouldn't you want to spend some time with

    Lisa's POVThis was going to be the last time I visit Kelvin. I parked my car in front of Kelvin's massive villa, always sneering at me like it was trying too hard to impress. I adjusted my coat, took a deep breath and strode up the steps.If Kelvin couldn't be straight with me, then our working together had come to an end. The butler opened the door when I knocked. His face lacked any form of expression. “He's in the lounge, Ms. Lisa.” Of course, he knew my purpose for coming. I followed the quiet hum of jazz spilling through the corridor. Kelvin never missed up on a chance to remind people he had classic taste. I found him sprawled on the couch with a glass of something expensive in his hand. He barely lifted his eyes from staring into space when I stopped in front of him. I cleared my throat to announce my presence. “Lisa,” he said, flashing that infuriatingly casual smile. What was ever casual about my visits? “To what do I owe the pleasure?”I scoffed at the tone in his voi

    Sienna's POVI sat cross-legged on the floor surrounded by a sea of colorful LEGO pieces. Liam handed me another block, his small hand brushing against mine as he grinned. “This one goes on top, right?”“Exactly,” I said, smiling back. For once, I felt light. Spending time with them was…easy. I watched Nick carefully place a piece on the tower, his tongue sticking out in concentration an my chest tightened. What would life have been like if I hadn't given them up?The thought arose from the back of my mind and I pushed it aside immediately. I wasn't ready for that. Not yet.My phone vibrated on the table. Adam. Again. The name flashing ony screen was like an eyesore I didn't want to pay any attention to. “You're gonna get that?” Sasha asked from the kitchen where she was making some Mac and cheese. “It's not important.” She turned to look at me in suspicion. “Right.”Silencing the call, I returned my attention to the twins but Adam was relentless in his pursuit.

    Chapter 55; Sienna's POVI pressed the phone tight against my ear, pacing the small stretch of carpet near the window. It was far from the door and I wouldn’t risk Adam eavesdropping but still, one couldn't be too careful. Sasha's voice was on the other end and exhaustion seeped into her tone. I started to feel sorry for her. “How are they today?” I asked softly, careful not to let my voice carry. “They’re fine. Liam was asking about you though. They both miss you.”My chest tightened. “I miss them too. I hate not being there every day.”“You know you can't risk it.” She reminded me.“I know,” I muttered, trying to push down the ball of emotion that made it difficult to swallow. “Just…make sure they know I'm thinking of them. Always.”“Of course.” I wanted to say more, or at least hold on to the line for a little longer but because Adam was now home. “I'll call again tomorrow.”“Okay. Take care, Sienna.”“You too.”As I ended the call, another one came through immediately. The nam

    Sienna's POVThe cell phone slipped off my hands, clattering to the floor, while I stared in a daze.What...what was that?Who the hell was that? I could feel my heart beating rapidly in my chest as I tried to rationalize what I had just heard.A lump formed in my throat, as my eyes found the phone on the floor. In a frenzy, I picked it back up.I didn't know if the person was still on the line but I gripped the phone tightly regardless, "Hello? Who is this? Who are you?""I do not think it is necessary to know who I am...Sienna."My brows shot up in an instant, as instant fear gripped me. He knows my name. How the hell does he know so much? Right now, my biggest concern is how he also got to know about the kids. How was this possible?Only Sasha knew about them, and it wouldn't make sense that she was behind this. Sara?No...Although my first thought was Lisa, that doesn't sound like her one bit. That doesn't sound like her at all. But do I know her?What if it was a ploy to get m

    Lisa's POVA few hours earlier...My mind kept drifting to Kelvin's words back at his villa. It's been quite a while, and I hated how bugged I was since that day, which was why I hired a private investigator to check it out. To tail her.It's been a week since, and right now, as I stared at the files that the private investigator just mailed me, my brows creased in confusion.He was on the line, explaining his findings as well."The photos are all in there. Everything you need." He said as I browsed through the photos.In the first slide, a little boy of around three years old smiled at the camera. His dark hair fell in waves across his forehead.I swiped at the next and saw a picture of the same little boy. It took me a while to discern that they were twins.But the next slide was what sent my brows shooting up in shock. Sienna.Walking into a house with the twins beside her."What is this? Why is she with them?" I spoke through the earpod I was on."I believe they are her kids, ma

    Lisa's POVI stood on the balcony of the suite where I stayed now, ready to call her again. Kelvin, as usual, had refused to pick up my calls for the umpteenth time, and I was taking matters into my own hands." Remember, follow my instructions, and everything will move smoothly," I spoke to the other end. I had made sure to use voice modulation so she couldn't detect my voice at all."Who are you?" She asked. I knew she was wondering and I wasn't ready to fuel her curiosity yet. This was fun anyway."You do not need to know who I am. All you should be bothered about is the safety of your children." I said bitterly, hating how it tasted on my lips.How dare she bear his child? How dare she? Not one, but two?"I know more than you would ever think, and I know everything about you and your twins. Of course, the moment you do as much as informing anyone about this conversation, be rest assured that you have compromised their safety."I could hear her gasps from the other end, and I reli

    Sienna's POVSara called, asking for the twins, and despite the raging storm in my head, I assured her they were fine. I knew she had a more closer bond with them, and was prone to get worried if she knew something was wrong."I will be back in a week. You know this is the longest I have ever been without the kids, and I miss them so much." She laughed.I chuckled, trying to make the situation lighter, but eventually, I had to hang up, as I couldn't control my trembling hands and shaky voice any longer.I was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, my hair disheveled, eyes sunken as I hadn't even been able to get a good night's rest.Running a hand through my hair, I paced around. It was early dawn, and I didn't even want to think about what was going on.Switching on the tap, I dialed Sasha's number."Sienna?" Her voice was groggy, obviously still in bed."Hey, did I wake you?""No, no. I just woke up now. Liam woke me up just a few minutes ago. That guy is a light sleeper.

    KELVIN;To say that I was fucking thrilled would be an underrated understatement. I sat in my office, my legs up above my desk, as I watched the News.A sly smile spread across my lips as the thought of how smoothly the plan had gone. Quite out of initial expectations, but this was a discovery I, for one was stunned to hear."You should wipe that smirk off your face. If I hadn't come up with the idea of cloning his office, we wouldn't have gotten here."Instantly recalling that I wasn't alone In the office, I turned to stare at Lisa, where she lounged lazily on the sofa with a glass of wine in her hands."I am quite curious, too," I mused, my eyes narrowed, "You seem to be really ecstatic about this. I thought you are in love with him, or something, and wouldn't want to see him sad?"Lisa shot me a glance, and scoffed, "Of course I care about him. That does not mean I am stupid, you know?""How so?" I asked, as I picked up my glass of wine and chugged it's contents down.She was lying

    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 tha

    SASHA;My fingers tapped on my cell phone screen as I paced along my living room. What the hell is going on? I wondered.Sienna was supposed to be here any moment. She had called quite earlier, a few hours to be precise, that she would be on her way now and was saying some stuff that just didn't make any sense.For days she has been acting a bit strange, and all my attempts to coax her into telling me what was wrong proved futile.Her instructions and pleas to keep the kids locked up in the house were the only thing stopping me from making my way to where she lived with that mother fucker.I could feel something was definitely off, especially with the accident that happened a few days ago, just outside the house.Releasing a sigh, I collected myself as I watched Liam who sat on a sofa, quietly watching an animation I had set up for them. Nick was nowhere in sight, but judging from the noises coming from their bedroom, I could tell he was having a great time.Sienna's words this mornin

    SIENNA;" What did you just say?" I asked, my temper rising.A heavy feeling rested on me almost immediately, and the stupid smirk on her face wasn't helping matters.Lisa was watching me, the corner of her lips becoming wider by the second.She was enjoying this." I asked you a question!" I stormed towards her, demanding to have an answer.My fingers clenched by my side, but then she chuckled darkly." What? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead, Sienna. I always knew you had a fire in you. I knew you had a bitchy side as well, why don't you go ahead and unleash it right now and stop hiding under the facade of an innocent girl."Her words were sickly sweet but filled with an icy determination. She wanted me to act. She was riling me up, no doubt.I took deep breaths, trying to control myself and my thoughts.What were the possibilities that she knew about my mother and her health condition?Has she been stalking me?Or was there something I was missing?A look of realization crossed my fe

    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

  • MY BULLY, MY HUSBAND    I Need To Leave

    Sienna; Standing in front of Lisa, I almost lost my bearings at the sight of the person now approaching us. I needed to leave, as I was unable to understand what it was he was here for. How he had gotten a hold of this location as well, seemed to bug me a whole lot. " Oh hello, Mrs Adams.... Fancy meeting you here," the familiar voice of Henry, I supposed was his name, came through as he walked forward. Something seemed off though, asides the fact that i was rooted at the spot, and couldn't move an inch, his eyes roamed about. " What do you think you are doing here!?" I rolled my eyes, almost forgetting that Lisa was here as well. Her voice cut through the slight tension in the air, while she glared daggers at him. I wasn't interested in the least why she had a murderous look in her gaze, but just as I tried to make sense of why he was here, I heard the sound of a car door. Sasha's. " Hey! I see you have some nerves stepping foot in my territory, don't you?" s

    Adams; I stood, frozen in shock at the scene in front of me. I must have uttered her name because Sienna's head snapped towards me almost immediately. I saw the tears in her eyes. I saw the detached, miserable look in her gaze, as she stood facing Doctor Robinson, and at that very moment, I didn't know how to react. She found out? No, she has found out. A feeling of dread settled in me as I took a step towards her. The moment our eyes met, I could have sworn she looked utterly relieved, but just as quickly as it came, her eyes hardened immediately. " What are you doing here?" She snapped, her tone hard but steady. My mouth opened to say a word, but no words came out of it. I blinked rapidly, taking in the scene. Trying to understand what was going on. Doctor Robinson, who stood by her side, had his gaze on the floor the whole time, and I felt my blood boil. The foolish mother fucker must have informed her or let it slip in a way. " Mr. Adams...." Doctor Robinson began to s
