Back in Sienna's room, their hands found each other once again, the desire and urgency between them growing stronger with each passing second. Their eyes locked, and it was as if time had slowed down, the world outside the room fading away as their connection took center stage.David gently pulled Sienna into his arms, his lips capturing hers in a passionate, fervent kiss.Their earlier tenderness was now replaced with a hunger, an almost desperate need to reclaim what they had lost. Their kisses grew more demanding, their breaths ragged as they devoured each other, their bodies pressed together, leaving no space between them.His hands roamed her body with a newfound boldness, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. Sienna's fingers tangled in his hair, tugging him closer as she returned his touches with equal fervor.They were no longer hesitant or cautious, but rather driven by a primal need to reaffirm their love and desire for one another.Clothes were discarded hastily, the barri
Sienna gently nudged David, who stirred and reluctantly opened his eyes. "We overslept," she whispered urgently, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "The twins are awake, and we need to make sure no one else finds out you were here." David nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I'll get up and let them in. We'll figure something out." He carefully extricated himself from their embrace and grabbed his clothes from the floor, pulling them on quickly. Sienna, meanwhile, straightened the bedcovers and adjusted her clothes, making herself presentable. David unlocked the door and opened it just enough for the kids to slip inside, preventing anyone else from seeing him. "Hey, guys," he whispered, trying to sound casual. "Why don't you come in and join us for a bit?" Bella and Xander, their curiosity piqued, entered the room without protest. Sienna quickly ushered them onto the bed, doing her best to maintain a sense of normalcy despite the underlying tension. "We need
Though she didn't explicitly mention Sienna's real identity, David understood her meaning immediately. Caught off guard by her question, he hesitated before answering."I... I found out recently. I admit, it was quite a shock. I love her, Mrs. Hamilton, and I'm committed to working things out between us."Kate studied him for a moment, as if assessing the sincerity of his words. Finally, she nodded, her expression softening."I can see that you truly care for her. Just remember that trust and honesty are the foundations of any strong relationship. Don't let her down again."She continued, "You know, David, while I didn't appreciate how you divorced my daughter without giving her a chance to prove her innocence or trusting her, I have to admit that the divorce led her to find us, her long-lost family."David felt a pang of guilt in his chest at the reminder of the difficult situation from six years ago."I'm sorry for the pain I caused her, Mrs. Hamilton."Kate nodded, her gaze sympath
The media was in an uproar following the Hamiltons' declaration, and the fallout was swift and merciless.Starlight Scandal TV, the once-popular gossip show that had gleefully spread the malicious rumors, was shut down in the wake of the scandal. Its host, Victoria Hughes, faced severe consequences for her actions. She was fired from her position, her reputation and career in tatters, and she also faced hefty fines, as well as possible criminal charges for promoting false information.Claire Anderson and Greg Mitchell, the guests who had been paid to spread rumors on the show, found themselves facing public scorn and potential legal trouble for their involvement in the scandal.Lyra Whitmore's face was plastered all over the media, identified as the mastermind behind the entire sordid affair. It was her worst nightmare come true.She went outside her home just for a few minutes, and everywhere she turned, she was met with judgmental stares and whispers. Her once-pristine reputation wa
Sienna had just wrapped up her workday at Hamilton Industries, opting to steer clear of Hendrix Technologies for now. Her thoughts were preoccupied, making it difficult to concentrate on her tasks even without the distraction of seeing David. Yet working at her office in Hamilton Industries wasn't much simpler, with Shane maintaining a heightened state of vigilance all day. He persistently urged her to exercise caution, fearing that Lyra Whitmore, now stripped of everything, was an unpredictable adversary. "Boss, you must be extra cautious. A woman with nothing left to lose is a dangerous one," her assistant warned her as they traversed the office corridors. "I know, Shane. I promise I'll be careful," she reassured him, though she couldn't quite dismiss the lingering unease. Shane nodded, his face creased with worry. As she left the office, she decided to pay a visit to her adoptive father, George, at the hospital. She realized it had been a while since her last visit, and she mis
'Save me? Why would I need anybody to save me?'The man's words worked like a switch, and without hesitation, Sienna's instincts kicked in. She used the man's grip on her shoulder to swing her body around and deliver a swift, powerful kick to his midsection. The attacker grunted in pain and crumpled to the ground.Just then, the lights in the parking lot flickered back to life, possibly due to a backup generator kicking in.The sudden brightness revealed the defeated attacker lying on the ground, with Sienna standing over him, ready for whatever else might come her way."Didn't expect that, did you?" she spat at him, her voice shaking but defiant. She could hear other footsteps approaching and braced herself for the next attacker."Ooh, feisty one, aren't you?" another man taunted as he stepped into the light. "But you won't be so tough once we're done with you."Sienna glared at him, her heart pounding in her chest, adrenaline surging through her veins.Her mind flashed back to the c
After the harrowing attack, Sienna returned home, her body still trembling from the adrenaline. Quietly, she made her way to the twins' room, peeking in to find them fast asleep.A wave of gratitude washed over her as she stepped inside, struck by the realization that she could have been injured – or worse – she could have died.'I'm so grateful I'm still here to watch them grow,' she thought, her heart swelling with love and protectiveness. 'I can't let anything happen to me, for their sake.'Gently, Sienna leaned down to kiss each of them on the forehead, then left their room, her resolve to keep them safe growing stronger.Later, as she entered her own bedroom, the weight of the evening's events finally caught up to her. Tears streamed down her face as she sank onto her bed, her body shaking with a mix of fear and relief.Feeling the need to talk to David, she reached for her phone and dialed his number. He picked up the phone immediately as if he was expecting her call."Sienna? H
