Miss Nobody Strikes Back Twenty one
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

"It worked! Aaron just left the house in a fit of rage, and Gisela is still hysterical. Even Natalia can't calm her down," the voice on the other end of the line whispered urgently. Sienna’s grin widened. “I told you it would. Good work,” she said, her tone casual, as if discussing the weather instead of chaos she had stirred in the DeMarque estate. Sienna Williams was in her study at the Fortress still dressed in the white gown she had worn for her meeting with Aaron. She was sitting comfortably on her chair when Damien walked in and her phone buzzed on the desk. She glanced at the screen and smiled, recognizing the number. She picked it up and put the phone on speaker. “How’s the rest of the house?” Sienna asked. “A mess. Gisela’s been crying and screaming for hours. Natalia’s trying her best, but nothing’s working. Aaron slammed the door so hard on his way out, I thought the hinges were going to fly off.” Sienna chuckled softly. "Any updates on Gisela’s lover? Have you been abl

Sienna Williams had an amazing night. The follow morning, she woke up to the sound of giggles and tiny feet skipping into her bedroom. She barely had time to blink the sleep out of her eyes before the twins jumped onto her bed, each of them diving straight for her like tiny missiles.“Mommy, wake up!” Brylee squealed, bouncing on the bed next to her. Rylee, always the more composed one, but no less enthusiastic, crawled under the blankets and snuggled up next to her. “Mommy, can we have pancakes for breakfast?”Sienna chuckled, feeling the last remainder of sleep slip away. “Good morning to you, too,” she said, wrapping an arm around Rylee while ruffling Brylee’s hair with her free hand. “Pancakes, huh? Are you going to help me make them?”Brylee’s eyes lit up. “Yes! I want to mix!”“Then pancakes it is.” Sienna stretched and glanced at the clock on her nightstand. She had a few hours before she needed to head into the office, so she could afford to linger in bed with her kids a littl

“You were right,” A smile spreads across Sienna’s face hearing Damien’s voice on the other end. With the nod of her head, she dismissed Melissa and leaned back in her seat, spinning on the chair so now she was facing the large ceiling to floor window.“George met up with Gisela and things got heated. He blames her for double-crossing and embarrassing him because you decided to endorse her husband,” Damien explains and Sienna’s smile grew wider.“Were you able to get anything we can use?”“As a matter of fact, I did. Apparently, Gisela used up investments from the gambling ring to sponsor Aaron’s campaign, but things didn’t fall through. It was why she wanted to sell hers and Aaron’s shares in the DeMarque Enterprise. George knew about it but kept quiet and now that you’re sponsoring Aaron, instead of him, he intends to tell the investors about it to sabotage Aaron and discredit Gisela. Needless to say, things got heated in the blink of an eye,”As Damien explained, Sienna Williams cou
