The thought made her blood boil, and she clenched her fists in a futile attempt to quell the growing rage within her.“No,” she told herself, "I won't let my imagination run wild. David is mine, and I won't allow anyone to come between us. I did terrible things to get rid of Kate. I won’t have this woman take him away from me, just like that."But as Lyra paced back and forth in David's office, her mind couldn't help but replay every interaction she had witnessed between David and Sienna. She observed their body language, the way they looked at each other, and the subtle, knowing glances they exchanged.The more she thought about it, the more her suspicions grew."Could it be that David and Sienna had a secret affair during those months he was gone? Could Xander and Bella actually be David's children?" Lyra's mind raced, and her heart hammered in her chest.She knew she needed to find out the truth, to confront David and demand answers. But she also knew she needed to tread carefully.

Realizing his mistake, David was quick to rephrase. "Lyra, Sienna's involvement in the company is purely business. We need her expertise and the capital she's bringing in to keep the company afloat. It's not about trust, it's about making smart decisions for the business." Deep inside, David felt a nagging doubt. He wasn't entirely sure he could separate his personal feelings from the professional aspects of the situation. Furthermore, something about Sienna stirred memories of his late wife, Kate, which only added to his unease. She frowned, clearly not satisfied with his response. "I just don't like it," she muttered. "I don't like the idea of her being around you, especially with those kids of hers." He raised an eyebrow, trying to maintain his composure. "Those kids are innocent in all of this. This isn't personal, it's business. We need to separate our feelings from what's best for the company." She crossed her arms, her expression still stormy. "Fine, but I'm keeping an eye

Sienna exhaled slowly, feeling a mixture of relief and apprehension. The wheels were now in motion, and there was no turning back.The consequences of her decision weighed heavily on her mind, but she knew it was necessary to protect her family and secure their future."Good. Keep me updated on any developments. And remember, we need to be discreet," she instructed, her voice wavering slightly."Don't worry, boss. I've got everything under control," Shane assured her. "I'll let you know as soon as he talks."She hesitated for a moment, then inquired softly, "And what about the other thing? Have you found him?"Shane's voice lowered, taking on a gentler tone. "Yes, I found out where he is. He's a patient at St. Mary's Hospital."Sienna's eyes glistened with emotion, her heart aching for the man who had been like a parent to her."Thank you, Shane. He means so much to me, and I've missed him dearly. Please, let me know if there are any changes in his condition.""Of course," he agreed.

The twins clung to her, their eyes filled with anxiety, and Sienna couldn't help but feel responsible for their unease. "Mommy, what if the kids here are mean to us, too?" Bella asked, her voice trembling with fear. "What if they tease us because we don't have a daddy like they do?" Sienna crouched down, her eyes level with her children's, and gently squeezed their hands. "I know you're scared, sweethearts, but I promise you that this school is going to be a fresh start for all of us. And I'll always be here for you, no matter what." Xander, trying to be brave, wiped his eyes and looked up at his mother. "But what if the kids here don't like us because we don't have a daddy like they do?" Sienna smiled softly, her heart breaking for her children. "You two are the most amazing, smart, and kind kids I know. Anyone would be lucky to have you as friends. And e

The next day, Sienna woke up with a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something felt off. As she went through her morning routine, she noticed that her twins were acting unusually secretive and giggly, whispering to each other and exchanging knowing glances. She couldn't help but feel a pang of curiosity mixed with concern. "Alright, you two," she said, trying to keep her tone light and playful. "What's going on? You've been acting strangely all morning." The twins exchanged another glance before Xander spoke up, trying to sound casual. "Nothing, Mommy. We're just... excited about school today." She raised an eyebrow, not entirely convinced by her son's explanation. "Really? You've never been this excited about school before. Are you sure there's nothing else going on?" Bella, unable to keep the grin off her face, chimed in. "We promise, Mommy. It's just school stuff. You don't have to worry about us." Sienna hesitated for a

"Please proceed with the interview as planned. It's important that she remains preoccupied with the show.""Of course," the producer responded, sensing the importance of the situation.
