Miss Nobody Strikes Back Eleven
Sienna Williams leaned back in her plush office chair, twirling a pen between her fingers as she listened to the Governor wax poetic about the town’s future. It was two in the afternoon and Damien had left the office for the day to go spend sometime with Rylee and Brylee. Sienna insisted on staying for another two hours as she had a meeting with the Governor.“Mrs Williams, I’m telling you, this town has so much potential. We just need the right investments to bring it to life,” the Governor said, his enthusiasm easily perceived. Sienna listened to him speak, silently taking in his appearance. He was a tall, slightly portly man in his mid-fifties, with a receding hairline. He wasn’t bad looking for someone his age, but if he wasn’t physically repulsive in his thoughts and actions, Sienna would have loved to do business with him. Sienna nodded, though her mind was partially on the stack of proposals from the head office she needed to review by the end of the day. “I hear you, Mr Gover

Aaron DeMarque stopped dead in his tracks. He hadn’t expected Sienna Williams to be awake, much less that she would catch into him sneaking into her room, which by the way, took him forever to find. Since he’d been caught, he thought, he might as well get over what brought him here in the first place. He straightened up, fixed his tie and walked toward Sienna who was still giving him her back. “I needed to talk to you,” he answered sheepishly. Sienna turned on her heels, an amused look plastered on her face, though Aaron couldn’t see it. “I have an assistant for that. Should have had your wife scheduled an appointment with my assistant,” Sienna replied, unfolding her arms and walking toward the corner of her room where a bar of the finest wine and whiskey was placed. Aaron didn’t reply, but Sienna could feel him take steps behind her. Her heart began staggering in her chest the closer he got to her. Her hands shivered as she grabbed a bottle of whiskey from the bar and filled it up

As soon as the door to her bedroom slammed shut, Sienna Williams let out a breathe she hadn't realised she was holding. Her heart was still pounding from how close Aaron was to her and now she managed to keep her composure, now she managed to not trail her hands through his soft-looking brown hair was beyond her comprehension.She paced her bedroom, the plush carpet muffling her footsteps. Her mind was racing, thoughts colliding like cars in a high-speed chase. Her conversation with Aaron still echoed in her mind, stirring up emotions she’d tried hard to bury. She couldn't shake the memory of his face, his words, the way he looked at her. It had been too much. She had thought she could handle him, but her racing heart and the knot in her stomach told a different story.“Get it together, Sienna,” she muttered to herself, running a hand through her hair. “He broke you, remember?”She had always been in control, always the one who called the shots. But Aaron... Aaron had a way of getting

Sienna Williams woke up the next morning with a sense of purpose burning brightly within her. The heated conversation with Aaron and Damien still echoed in her mind, but instead of dampening her spirits, it fueled her resolve. She was done playing nice. It was time to push forward with her plans for revenge. Today was important. Today was the day she would push forward with her plans for revenge.She glanced at the clock on her bedside table. 6:30 AM. Early, but she felt ready to take on the world. Throwing back the covers, she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching out the tension from last night’s events. After getting ready, she walked down the stairs to find Damien and the twins already having breakfast. "Morning," she uttered at Damien before walking to where the twins sat and placing kisses on their foreheads. "Good morning my little princesses. Slept okay?" She asked. Rylee sat up, a beaming smile on her face. "Yes mummy. Brylee snuck into my room i

Natalia DeMarque looked up from her desk as the door to her office burst open. Gisela DeMarque stormed in, her face a furious shade of red, eyes blazing with anger. Papers fluttered to the floor in her wake, but Gisela didn’t seem to notice or care.“She’s a two-faced, manipulative bitch!” Gisela raged, slamming her handbag onto the nearest chair. Natalia DeMarque blinked, momentarily stunned by the outburst. Since marrying into the DeMaqrue family, Gisela became a picture of composure as her husband despised women who were too loud and quick to anger, but now she looked ready to tear someone apart with her bare hands.“Gisela, calm down. What’s going on?” Natalia DeMarque asked, leaning back in her chair and crossing her arms over her chest. She tried to keep her voice steady, but she couldn’t deny a hint of curiosity.“It’s that stupid bitch Sienna! She’s been playing us all for fools,” Gisela spat, pacing back and forth like a caged lion. “I’ve had it with her games!”Natalia DeMar

After a long day at the office, Sienna Williams couldn’t wait to get home and spend time with her kids. The weekend started off on a good foot after Gisela stormed into the conference hall, and although Sienna wasn't expecting her outburst so soon, she was happy it happened anyways. Now, she could go home, relax, spend some time with her kids and find comfort in the fact that her plans were gradually unleashing. The modern house with its expansive windows and open floor plan stood in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle Sienna dealt with earlier today. As her car pulled into the driveway, the sight of warm lights glowing from within instantly began to ease her stress.Sienna stepped inside, immediately greeted by the delicious aroma of freshly baked cookies. “Mom!” her girls, Rylee and Brylee, chorused as they ran to hug her, their bright eyes sparkled with excitement. “Hey, my munchkins!” Sienna hugged them tightly, her heart swelling with love. “What’s all this?”“We made snac

The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of Sienna’s bedroom, casting an emit on the elegant furnishings. Sienna Williams, already dressed in a casual but chic outfit, was packing a bag for day out with her twins, Rylee and Brylee. After the awkward incident with Damien the previous night—where he had barged into her room and caused her towel to slip off her body—Sienna decided that a change of scenery was exactly what they all needed.“Mom, are we really going to the arcade?” Brylee asked, bouncing on her toes with excitement.“Yes, sweetheart. And then we’re hitting the mall and doing some shopping,” Sienna confirmed, smiling at the twins’ enthusiasm. She was looking forward to this break herself. A day away from the Fortress, would be good for them all.The drive to the arcade was filled with the twins' excited chatter. Sienna couldn’t help but laugh at their animated descriptions of the games they were planning to play. The arcade was buzzing with activity when they arriv

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

Later that evening, Sienna stepped through the doors of the grand fortress. The house felt unusually quiet, none of the maids were in sight. Sienna’s steps faltered when she saw Damien descending the stairs, a suitcase at his feet indicating that he was just about to leave. The sight of it sent a pang of panic through her chest. Had things become this bad between them that he had to take some clothes with him? Sienna wondered to herself. Was he going to come and leave without seeing her? Sienna couldn’t stomach the distance she had caused between them and she knew immediately that she had to make amends.Damien’s gaze locked on Sienna but he didn’t hold her case. He grabbed his suitcase and began to walk towards her, passing her without as much as a smile.“Damien, wait,” Sienna called out, her voice barely above a whisper, but enough to make him pause. Damien turned. Although his expression was unreadable, there was a flicker of something in his eyes. They stood there for a moment,

Sienna Williams stood in the middle of the conference hall, arms crossed, her sharp gaze locked on Gisela DeMarque. Of all the things she expected to see today, Gisela, of all people, on her knees in front of her was not one of them. Yet there she was, hands clasped together, head slightly bowed.It took everything Sienna had not to smirk, particularly as Aaron and Natalia studied her reaction. This was a side of Gisela she never thought she'd witness—desperate. This moment felt especially sweet. She could practically taste the power she held over the DeMarques."Sienna..." Gisela's voice was forced. "I'm sorry."Sienna raised an eyebrow, her face impassive. She didn’t respond immediately, letting the silence pull a little longer. She wanted Gisela to feel every second of it."For what exactly?" Sienna asked. Gisela’s jaw clenched, and she took a deep breath before continuing. “For accusing you of having an affair with my husband... in public. I shouldn’t have said those things. I was

"Damien, forget about the lead investigator. He's working with Gisela. He won't be of much help to us. You should focus on getting the chief of precinct on our side,"It has been over thirty minutes since Sienna's tense exchange with inspector Everett. Sienna had been pacing back and forth in her office, wondering why she hadn't stopped to think for a second that Gisela's mistress could be someone within the law enforcement. Given the circumstances, it was hardly even on her mind. But now that she had this information, she was going to use it to her advantage. If Gisela had George killed, Everett had to have known. Sienna knew she had to find anything to link them to George's murder before they ruled it out as suicide."Why? Do you know something I don't?""Everett Gaines! He's the man we've been searching for all this while. He's Gisela's lover,""What!" Damien's shock voice made Sienna's insides swirl in a delicious way. "Yeah. I had the information last night but I didn't confirm

In the quiet of Sienna's office, inspector Everett’s voice was sharp as he broke the silence. “So, Ms Williams, I’m sure you’ve heard about the Mayor’s death by now.”Sienna raised an eyebrow, her expression giving away nothing. “Tragic news. George had a lot of plans for this city.”He nodded slowly, his eyes never leaving hers, studying every reaction. “Tragic, yes. But it’s also… suspicious and convenient for others,”She could feel the shift in his tone, enough bite to it to signal an accusation without outright saying it. Sienna let the silence stretch a bit longer, her lips curling into the faintest hint of a smile. She wasn’t new to these games.“And you’re implying… what, exactly?” she asked, her voice smooth and calm. Everett’s eyes narrowed. “You were close with George. Matter of fact, he was the very first person you acquainted with since stepping foot into Portsmouth. You were both working on some pretty big projects and correct me if I am wrong, but you were about to end

Back at the Fortress...Sienna had just finished tucking the girls into bed. After a series of explanations as to why their uncle daddy Damien wasn't coming home for the time being, she finally settled in her bathtub, the hot water relaxing the nerves that settled behind her neck. Sienna threw her head backwards, groaning as she felt the tension slip away. Her phone vibrated. She picked it up and smiled before pressing the phone to her ear."Seeing your call puts me in a good mood," Sienna says, happy to hear from her daughter after so long."I miss you too, mom," the voice on the other end says."You should visit home sometime. I'm sure the twins will be excited to see you. They have been asking nonstop about you,""You know I can't mom. It's risky," there was a slight pause before the voice spoke up again. “I’ve got something juicy for you. I finally figured out who Gisela's lover is," Sienna arched an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued despite herself. "Aaron and Gisela got into a heat

Meanwhile....At the DeMarques’ estate, the tension in the air was thick enough to choke on. Aaron stood in the middle of the living room glaring at Gisela as she paced back and forth in front of him. The argument had started an hour ago, but it had escalated fast."I can't believe you, Gisela," Aaron snapped, his voice cold and sharp. "Do you have any idea what you've done? Throwing accusations at Sienna? You cost me the endorsement. The one thing that was keeping us ahead in the polls!"Gisela stopped pacing and turned to face him. Her cheeks were flushed, not from shame, but from anger. "Oh, don't act like you're so innocent in all this! We both know WHY and HOW you got Sienna to endorse you!""Do you have any idea what you’ve done? You slandered her without a shred of proof! You humiliated me in front of people I need on my side. Not only do they think I am weak and I can't control my own wife, they also think I am a cheat!"Gisela’s eyes flashed dangerously. "Control? Is that wha

The following day.....Sienna Williams stood in front of her mirror, pulling her hair back into a sleek ponytail. She wore her signature white colour in a tailored suit, one that made her feel powerful - not that she needed the extra confidence. She grabbed her phone and bag and headed out of her bedroom. She reached the grand foyer when one of the guards intercepted her, looking uneasy."Mrs Williams, just wanted to inform you that Mr. Damien took the other car and left ahead of you. He said he had some things to take care of."Sienna blinked, the news hitting her harder than she’d like to admit. She tried to keep her expression neutral, but the sting of disappointment was hard to hide. She knew exactly why Damien had gone ahead without her. It was something he did whenever they had a disagreement, no matter the magnitude and yesterday evening was one of those times. “Right. Thanks for letting me know,” Sienna's voice was tight as she spoke.The guard gave her a respectful nod befor

"I have had enough!" Sienna Williams stepped in. Her gaze shifts briefly between Gisela and Aaron who looked like they were seconds away from plucking off each other's eyes. "Damien, get me out of here," Sienna didn't pull her gaze from Gisela as she spoke. "Unless I receive a public apology from the DeMarques, we shall have no business," Sienna felt Damien’s hand on her arm. She glanced at Aaron, who looked like he wanted to sink into the floor, and then at Natalia, whose face was a mask of shock and confusion. Then, they all left the garden. Sienna walked hand-in-hand with Aaron and Melissa walked next to her. They barely made it out of the DeMarque mansion when the heard Aaron's agitated voice behind them."Sienna! Please wait up," Sienna paused, her head freezing in Damiens'. She tilted her head and gave him a look that said: what do you think he wants now? Damien simply shrugged."Sienna, I'm so sorry for what happened back there. Gisela was so out of line," he says as Sienna tu
Miss Nobody Strikes Back Thirty
By the time Sienna and Damien made it back to the reception, the atmosphere had shifted from merriment to tense. A crowd had gathered in the center of the garden, all eyes focused on two women locked in a heated argument whom Sienna immediately recognised. Gisela and Melissa.“What the hell is going on?” Damien muttered under his breath as he stepped forward, but Sienna held up a hand to stop him.“Wait,” she said softly. “Let’s see how this plays out.” As they moved closer, the words between Melissa and Gisela became clearer. “I know your type,” Gisela hissed, her voice filled with disdain. “Hovering around, pretending to be so sweet and helpful. But really, you’re just a leech, clinging to Sienna’s every word, trying to climb your way up.”Melissa shot back, “I’m just doing my job, Gisela. Maybe you should focus more on your own life instead of thinking everyone is a lowlife manipulative gold digging twat like you.”The tension in the garden was thick enough to cut with a knife. S
