Sienna took a deep breath, trying to maintain her composure. She exchanged a quick, worried glance with her mother before addressing her children. "No, my lovelies, that's not your daddy. Why do you think that man is your daddy? Your daddy is still away on his business trip."
"He looks just like me," Alexander pointed out, appearing sad that the man wasn't his daddy.
"Yeah, Mommy, that man looks just like Xander," Isabella chimed in.
"It's just a coincidence, Bella," her mother assured.
Alexander (Xander) and Isabella (Bella) looked uncertain, but they didn't press the issue further. Inside, Sienna's thoughts raced as she saw David and Lyra together on the screen, a reminder of the betrayal that had shaped her life.
As Sienna continued to watch the scene unfolding on the television, she could feel the anger boiling within her. The sight of David and Lyra together, seemingly happy and content, reignited the thirst for revenge that she had managed to suppress for years.
She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms as she tried to maintain a calm facade for her children.
Her mother, sensing Sienna's emotional turmoil, placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Sienna, we can talk about this later. Let's not upset the children."
Sienna nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat. "You're right, Mom. We'll discuss it later."
As Xander and Bella scampered off to play, Sienna's mind raced with plans and possibilities. The time for settling scores had arrived sooner than she had anticipated, but she would not back down.
Those who had wronged her would pay for their actions, and she would ensure that they received their just retribution.
Kate Hendrix may have once been susceptible to deception and easily pushed around, but Sienna Hamilton had transformed into someone entirely different. She was a strong, unyielding force to be reckoned with, someone who refused to be trampled upon or taken advantage of ever again.
The following day, Sienna decided to share her revenge plans with her parents. She gathered them in the living room and began to explain her intentions.
"Mom, Dad, I've been thinking about what happened yesterday when the kids saw David on TV. It's time for me to take action and make those who hurt me pay for their actions," Sienna said with determination in her eyes.
Her mother, Kate, looked at her with concern. "Sienna, are you sure this is what you want? Revenge can be a double-edged sword."
Richard, her father, added, "Your mother is right. It's important to think carefully about the consequences of your actions."
Sienna nodded. "I understand, but I can't just stand by and let them live their lives without facing the consequences of what they did to me. I need to show them that they can't just walk all over people and get away with it."
Kate sighed and placed her hand on Sienna's shoulder. "We'll support you, Sienna. Just promise us that you'll be careful and not let your emotions cloud your judgment."
"I promise, Mom. I won't let this consume me," Sienna assured.
Richard chimed in, "So, what's your plan, Sienna? How do you intend to make them pay?"
Sienna explained her strategy, outlining each step she would take to ensure that David and Lyra would face the consequences of their betrayal. As she spoke, her parents listened intently, offering their advice and support whenever necessary.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Shane, her trusted assistant. As soon as he picked up, she got straight to the point.
"Shane, I've made up my mind. It's time to put our plan into action. Begin with the first step that we discussed earlier," Sienna instructed.
Shane hesitated for a moment. "Are you sure about this, Sienna? There's no turning back once we start."
Sienna's voice was firm and determined. "I'm sure, Shane. I've thought it through, and I have my parents' support. We need to make David and Lyra face the consequences of their actions."
Shane sighed but agreed. "Alright, Sienna. I'll get everything set up and start putting our plan into motion. Just remember, we're playing a dangerous game here. Be prepared for anything."
"I am, Shane," Sienna replied with conviction. "Just do your part, and I'll handle the rest."
With that, Sienna ended the call, her heart pounding with anticipation. The wheels of her carefully crafted revenge plan were finally in motion, and there was no turning back.
Sienna's parents watched her with a mixture of awe, pride, and concern as she ended the call with Shane. They knew their daughter had become a strong and determined woman, but the path she was about to embark on was filled with uncertainty and danger.
As Sienna studied the files on David's company, her father spoke up, "Sienna, from what I can tell, David's company doesn't seem to be in need of investors. It might be difficult for you to infiltrate their ranks."
Sienna looked up from the files, a cryptic smile playing on her lips. "That's true, Dad. But sometimes, the best strategy is to create a problem for the enemy... and then come in to solve it."
Her words hung in the air, leaving her parents intrigued and curious about what Sienna had planned. They knew their daughter was intelligent and resourceful, but they couldn't help but worry about the risks involved in her quest for revenge.
Sienna's eyes sparkled with determination as she continued, "Right now, I'm in the process of creating a problem for them."
Her parents exchanged glances, their intrigue and curiosity growing stronger.
"What kind of problem, Sienna?" her mother asked cautiously, concern evident in her voice.
Sienna's smile widened, but she remained cryptic. "You'll see, Mom. Trust me, it's all part of the plan. And once the problem arises, I'll be there to offer them the perfect solution."
As they listened to their daughter's confident words, Sienna's parents felt a mixture of admiration and apprehension. They knew she had changed, but the full extent of her transformation was only now becoming clear.
The game of revenge had begun, and Sienna was ready to play.

In her lavish office high above the vibrant streets of New York City, Sienna reclined in her ergonomically designed chair, deep in thought. David's company, Hendrix Technologies, was a cutting-edge green technology firm focused on renewable energy solutions and had been on her radar for some time now. She had finally devised a cunning plan to create a financial problem for him that would test his mettle as a business leader and open the door for her ultimate goal. A wicked grin spread across her face as her ever-efficient assistant entered the room, anticipation sparkling in his eyes. "Shane, is it done?" Sienna asked, her gaze locked on him, expecting good news. "Yes, boss, it’s done. The CEO of Veridian International, Alexander Merrick, owed us a favor," Shane responded with a tinge of pride in his voice. Sienna raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Well, we provided them with crucial assistance during their own crisis last year. Merrick couldn't forget that." Shane nodded in agreemen
In the luxurious Hamilton penthouse, Sienna packed her bags, preparing to depart for Los Angeles. She felt a mixture of excitement and apprehension, knowing that she was about to face David after all these years and execute her carefully planned revenge. As she zipped her suitcase, her twins, Xander and Bella, entered the room, their faces a mix of curiosity and sadness. The two little geniuses, who shared their mother's passion for technology, were always coming up with new ideas and inventions. "Mommy, why do you have to go?" asked Bella, her voice trembling. Sienna knelt down and embraced her children, trying to reassure them. "It's only for a few days, my loves. I have some important business to take care of in Los Angeles. Once everything is settled, we'll have a beautiful mansion there, and we'll all be together again." Xander held up his phone with a proud grin. "Mommy, Bella and I made an app for you! We know you work really hard, and sometimes you forget to eat or drink. S
As Sienna exited the airport terminal in Los Angeles, she glanced around, searching for her chauffeur. Her eyes landed on a familiar sight – her ex-in-laws, John and Margaret Hendrix, standing nearby. They appeared to be waiting for someone, and Sienna quickly deduced that they were there to pick up Lyra.Her heart clenched as memories of her past life with David came flooding back. She felt a renewed sense of bitterness, fueling her determination to take revenge on those who had wronged her.Sienna observed the happy reunion from a distance, her face expressionless as she watched Lyra embrace her ex-in-laws. She couldn't help but overhear their conversation."Oh, Lyra, dear, it's so good to see you again," Margaret gushed, hugging Lyra tightly."It's been too long, hasn't it?" Lyra replied, a sweet smile on her face. "I missed you, Margaret, and you too, John."John smiled warmly, "We missed you as well, Lyra. It's always a pleasure having you around.""I'm so glad you and David are
Sienna's heart raced, and she struggled to maintain her composure. "I'm sure it's just a coincidence, Mr. Hendrix. I've been told I have one of those faces," she replied, forcing a polite smile."Perhaps," David conceded, still looking unsure.Before taking her leave, Sienna's gaze fell upon the photo on David's desk, the picture of him, Lyra, and his parents – a happy family portrait. She felt a pang in her chest, a mixture of heartache and determination fueling her drive for revenge.Sienna made her exit, her heart pounding in her chest. She had come dangerously close to revealing her true identity. The encounter had left her rattled, but it only served to strengthen her resolve.As Sienna stepped into the elevator, she whispered to herself, "You have no idea what's coming for you, David Hendrix. The storm is just beginning."Returning to her mansion, she received a message from one of her associates, informing her about an upcoming charity gala. The event was organized to raise fun
Still at the charity gala, Sienna knew she had to take advantage of the situation to get closer to David and stoke the flames of Lyra's jealousy. As the event proceeded, she observed the perfect opportunity: a waltz was announced, and couples began to form on the dance floor. As Sienna gracefully made her way around the room, a mischievous idea struck her. She spotted the event's master of ceremonies and approached him with a charming smile. She whispered a request in his ear, and he nodded enthusiastically. The master of ceremonies addressed the attendees. "Ladies and gentlemen, for the next dance, we have a special surprise! We will randomly pair our distinguished guests for a waltz." Guests exchanged excited glances, and the room filled with anticipation. The master of ceremonies began to call out the pairings, and Sienna crossed her fingers, hoping for the outcome she desired. As luck would have it, Sienna was paired with David. Their eyes met, and David, unable to resist Sienn
Sienna's heart raced as she tried to make sense of the unexpected situation. She managed to conjure a smile for her children, concealing her surprise and bewilderment."Hello, my loves," Sienna greeted warmly, enveloping them in a tight embrace. "I missed you both so much."Her heart ached, realizing that her children instinctively felt the connection to their father. David, however, appeared both surprised and puzzled by the circumstances. His gaze shifted between Sienna, Bella, and Xander, who bore an uncanny resemblance to him."I was here to pick up a client when I bumped into the children," David explained, still attempting to comprehend the striking similarity. "They mistook me for their father."Sienna forced a smile, her heart heavy with the burden of the truth she had to keep hidden from her children."It's quite a funny coincidence, isn't it? Thank you for looking after them, Mr. Hendrix."David nodded, still baffled, but chose not to delve deeper into the matter in front of
David stared at Bella and Xander in disbelief as they entered his office. "Did your mother come with you?" he asked, trying to wrap his head around the situation."Nope! We sneaked out and called a cab from the app," Bella replied nonchalantly, while Xander nodded in agreement."Oh, we didn't tell you our names! I'm Bella, and this is my twin brother, Xander," Bella added cheerfully.David couldn't help but feel a mix of astonishment and concern. "You two shouldn't have done that. It's not safe for you to be wandering around the city on your own," he said, his tone stern yet gentle.Bella and Xander exchanged glances, seemingly unfazed by David's concern. "Don't worry, we're smart," Xander assured him. "We knew the address and everything."David raised an eyebrow, surprised by their resourcefulness. "How did you even find my office?""We searched your name online, and your office address came up," Xander explained.David was shocked at how two 5-year-olds could be so smart and resourc
Lyra, curious about the twins' claim, looked at them with a puzzled expression."So, Bella, Xander, you said you came to see where your daddy works? Can you tell me more about that?"The little girl glanced at her brother, then back at Lyra, trying to decide how much to reveal."Well, we just wanted to see where he spends his days," she said cautiously.Lyra pressed further, "And why do you think your daddy works in a place like this?"Xander chimed in, "We searched for it online and his office address came up. So here we are…"The nagging feeling persisted, gnawing at her insides like a relentless beast. There had to be more to the story, Lyra was sure of it. The twins were hiding something, and she was determined to uncover the truth.David sat there, lost in thought, his expression inscrutable. What was he thinking? Did he know more than he let on? She couldn't help but wonder what role he played in this unfolding mystery.Just as she was about to ask another question, Sienna enter
