Miss Nobody Strikes Back Eighteen
Later that evening, Sienna Williams leaned back against the plush armchair in her study, feeling the lingering warmth from her everything shower. She had spent the day out with her twins and the mixture of laughter, ice-cream, and a bit of retail therapy had left her both exhilarated and exhausted. The shower had helped wash away the day's residue, leaving her feeling refreshed and ready to tackle her evening tasks.She wrapped her silk robe tighter around herself and picked up her phone, dialing into the call with the CEO back at their headquarters in Louisiana. The conversation was routine but necessary, once which she usually receives from her assistant, Melissa—updates on operations, financial reports, and the usual rundown of issues that needed her attention, but today, she wanted to tackle these issues herself."Michaelson," she said, her tone brisk but friendly. "What's the latest on the New Orleans project?"Michaelson's voice crackled through the speaker. "Hey, Sienna. We've

The following day, Sienna Williams decided to spend the day with her girls, Rylee and Brylee. The idea of lounging around watching TV and playing in the underground playroom of the Fortress seemed like the perfect way to recharge.As she stepped into the vast playroom, a cozy haven filled with playhouses, bean bags, and a huge TV screen, she felt a rare sense of relaxation. The twins were already there, deeply engrossed in a cartoon. Rylee looked up and squealed, “Mommy!”Brylee quickly followed suit, “Mommy, come sit with us!”Sienna smiled, feeling her heart warm at their excitement. “Alright, alright, I’m coming,” she said, settling down between them on the plush carpet. The three of them spent hours watching cartoons, building LEGO castles, and playing tag. It was a simple, joyful day that Sienna treasured.As the afternoon wore on, she couldn’t help but notice Damien’s absence. Sienna assumed he decided to keep his distance after last night's awkward incident in her office. Her h

The morning sun cast a glow over Portsmouth as Sienna Williams drove to work, her mind replaying the events of the previous night and the kiss she had shared with Damien on Saturday. The memory was sharp and vivid, and every time she glanced at him in the passenger seat, the air felt charged with unspoken words and undiluted tension.Sienna cleared her throat, trying to shake off the awkwardness. “I made an interesting discovery last night,” she began, her tone casual. “Turns out Gisela is seeing someone,”Damien turned his head slightly, his expression neutral but his eyes flickering with curiosity. “Really? Gisela is cheating on Aaron? That’s news. Who would have thought?” “Yeah, it seemed... huge. She drives herself every Thursday to a particular location. I need you to look into it. Find out who this guy is,” Sienna continued, stealing a glance at Damien. Damien nodded. “Consider it done.”They fell into silence again, the tension between them palpable. Sienna kept stealing glan

Hours after Ezra DeMarque’s departure, Sienna Williams still sat in her office, staring blankly at the wall. The room, usually a place were she exalted power and control, now felt like a cage. She couldn’t shake the feeling of being trapped, not just in her office, but in a memory that had clawed its way back into her mind. The encounter with Ezra had been brief, but its impact was profound, dragging her back to a time she’d spent years trying to forget.Nine years ago. She had been so different then—naive, vulnerable, trusting. The way Ezra had manipulated and abused her had left scars so deep that even now, they still bled. Seeing him today had ripped those wounds wide open. Sienna felt like she was back in that room with him, powerless and afraid. Her fingers dug into the armrests of her chair as she tried to push the memories back, but they washed over her like a brutal wave, overwhelming her.She didn’t hear the door open, didn’t notice the sound of footsteps until Melissa was ri

After Damien left with a promise to secure Gisela's and Aaron's shares in DeMarque Enterprises, Sienna sat back in her chair, letting out a slow breath. After a while, she began trashing out financial reports from the mall a Portsmouth.As a major shareholder, Sienna made it a habit of checking the numbers every month, ensuring that everything was on track, every money disbursed clearly accounted for and brainstorming possible ways to generate more revenue. Sienna spent the next few hours going through each report meticulously, making notes, flagging issues, and drafting emails for follow-ups. By the time she finally decided to call it a day, the sun had already begun to set, casting an orange glow through the large windows of her office. Sienna rose to her feet and stretched, feeling the tension in her shoulders ease. She grabbed her bag and walked out of her office. Sienna was surprised to see Melissa still at her desk, typing away. The office was already empty as most of the empl

Sienna Williams sighed as she stepped out of her car and into the cool evening air. It had been a long day of unwanted visits and conversations. All she wanted right now was a glass of wine whilst she cuddled with her girls. As she walked up the steps of the Fortress, Damien was already there waiting for her, his expression unusually serious. “Sienna,” he said as she approached, his tone gentle but firm. “Aaron’s here. He’s waiting for you in your study downstairs.”Sienna paused mid-step, a frown creasing her forehead. “Aaron? What on earth is he doing here?”Damien shrugged, though the slight tension in his shoulders betrayed his unease. “He didn’t say. Just that it was important.”Sienna’s frown deepened. She hadn’t seen Aaron since they bumped into each other at the mall, and she couldn’t imagine what could be so urgent that he’d come to see her. A part of her wanted to tell Damien to send him away, but another part—perhaps the more curious part—urged her to get this over with.

Rylee and Brylee looked up at Sienna with wide, questioning eyes, sensing the unusual air in their mother's room, but not fully understanding it.“Mommy, who was that man?” Rylee asked innocently, breaking the tension that hung in the air.Sienna forced a smile, though it didn’t reach her eyes. “Just an old friend, sweetie. Don’t worry about it.” Sienna played with her kids for a while. When Brylee yawned, she knew it was time for them to get some sleep. Using the intercom button in her room, she called on Nana Griselda and when she showed up barely minutes after, Sienna asked her to get the kids ready for bed. After the twins departure, Sienna walked up to the bar in her room and poured herself a glass of whiskey. Damien, who had been silent all along, watched Sienna closely, his expression unreadable. “Are you okay?” he asked quietly once Sienna had gulped the second glass.Sienna let out a long breath, rubbing her temples as she tried to process everything that had just happened.

The meeting with Sienna Williams over, Aaron DeMarque stepped into his home with a spring in his step, a beaming smile on his face. He could hardly believe it—Sienna had agreed to endorse him. The meeting had gone even better than expected, and he could only imagine the headlines tomorrow. He couldn't wait to rub it in George and Harris's face that Sienna was on his side. He strides into his bedroom and hung up his coat. But as soon as he began to unbutton his shirt, the atmosphere shifted. Gisela leaned against the door frame, arms crossed and eyes blazing with fury. Aaron’s smile faltered. “Gisela?” he began, his voice cautious. “What’s wrong?” “What’s wrong?” she repeated, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She took a step toward him, her hands trembling with barely contained rage. “You tell me, Aaron. How was your little meeting with Sienna?” Aaron blinked, taken aback by the venom in her tone. “It went well. Really well, actually. She’s agreed to endorse my campaign, which i
