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.
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,
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
Sienna's POV;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?" He was wide-eyed, his voice skeptical like he couldn't believe I
Sienna;It made me wonder how he would react when he finally found out I had his kids. Of course, I knew he wouldn't hesitate to take them away from me. Just as he took my innocence and stomped on my pride.I regretted trusting him.My thoughts drifted back to the previous days, weeks we had spent together. Wondering if he actually meant it when he said he was sorry. When he said he didn't mean to?Did he actually know the detriment of what he did to me In high school? Does he even know he was the reason I got occasional panic attacks?I blinked back the daze I was in, staring at him fully, "Why did you do it?" My question seemed to catch him off guard, and he blinked."What?""Why did you do it? Back in school...why did you do it, Adams?"A cloud seemed to dwell over his face, and his expression darkened for the second time in less than an hour.Sober me would never have asked this question. But right at this point, with the wine buzzing in me and flowing through my adrenaline, I wan
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 his
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;I wasn't expecting her to come back here. And I definitely wasn't expecting her to find me in the shower as well.My fists clenched as I stormed towards her in the bathroom, and when I saw how she recoiled, a new wave of anger surged through me. My eyes trailed down to the little wet patch on her blouse, and filled with an intense rage I didn't see coming, my fists reached out and ripped it off.Her startled gasp was everything. "I asked you to get out, didn't I? I clearly said I didn't want to see your face ever again, but you are just so stubborn, aren't you?"Her eyes were wide, and her hands convered her breasts, as she stared at her in shock.Suddenly, there was a bang on the door, which made me pause momentarily as I tilted my head to the side.I stared back at her, and then I grabbed a towel on the rack behind me and stepped out.*****My brows furrowed, when Agatha Informed me, yet again that Henry was in the living room waiting for me. What the hell is he doing here a

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
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
