~Sienna~

Waking up was slow and hazy, but the chill of Lucas’s sharp voice jolted me back to reality.

“Had enough fun?” His words were like ice, and each one sliced through the drowsiness as I felt the heat rise to my face. “Or were you planning on using my chest as your personal pillow indefinitely?”

I scrambled off him, flustered and disoriented. How did I fall asleep like that? More importantly, why did he seem so furious about it? I tried to ignore the way his piercing gaze followed my every move, making me feel like I was a kid caught in a mischievous act.

“Sorry, I—I didn’t realize…” My voice trailed off as his expression hardened further, making any excuse feel small and meaningless.

Before I could gather any ounce of dignity, Derrick walked in, looking worried but professional. “How are you feeling, sir? I brought some medication, and we have that meeting with Pierce Corporation at nine.”

At the mention of Pierce Corporation, my heart nearly stopped. I checked my watch—8

    ~Sienna~ As Lucas disappeared into the elevator, Director Aiden’s sneering voice cut through the lingering silence. “Miss Wilde, you’re not off the hook. We’ll be discussing this...engagement stunt of yours after the meeting.” The bite in his words stung, but I swallowed back the irritation bubbling up, forcing myself to stay composed. My cheeks still burned from Lucas’s mocking congratulations. I joined the rest of the team as we stepped into the elevator, heading up to the fifth-floor conference room. Violet sidled up to me, eyes bright with curiosity. “Spill. Who was it?” she whispered, her grin as eager as a kid sneaking candy. I shook my head, forcing a smile. “Later, Vi,” I mumbled, trying to avoid the inevitable tidal wave of questions I’d stirred up with my careless slip. The elevator doors opened, and we filed out toward the glass-walled conference room. As I stepped inside, my breath caught; Lucas was already there, seated at the head of the long, polished table, with

    ~Sienna~ As Lucas dismissed everyone for a ten-minute break, I made my way out of the conference room, my heart thumping like a jackhammer. I was on edge, trying to shake off the nerves that crawled up my spine. I’d been handed a golden opportunity—or rather, tossed into it—and the stakes were so high it made my head spin. Just as I was steadying myself in the hall, Derrick approached, a subtle smile on his face. He held out a sleek shopping bag in his hand, emblazoned with the logo of none other than Alexander McQueen. “Miss Wilde, this is from the CEO,” Derrick said, his tone even, though his eyes held a hint of encouragement. I peeked inside, pulling out a finely tailored black dress that oozed elegance with every inch of its fabric, along with a pair of Christian Louboutin red-bottom heels. My breath caught for a moment. “He had me order it when he noticed… your dress from last night,” Derrick added with a small, knowing smile. “He wasn’t too pleased. Better get change

    ~Lucas~ As I placed the light kiss on her cheek, I caught the flash of pink that spread over Sienna's cheeks. I could feel the flutter in my own chest, though I pushed it down before it gave her any ideas. I couldn’t have her feeling too special for having “bagged” a billionaire boss—she’d seen enough of my “soft side” for one day. “Consider it my way of saying... well done,” I said, watching the way her lips curled into a wide, grateful smile, her hazel eyes shining with genuine pride. A small pang hit me then, unexpected and unwelcome. The girl really was something, her face bright with innocence and those wide, warm eyes that could melt stone. “Thank you, Lucas… I—" I wasn’t about to let that slide. My eyes hardened immediately, cutting her off mid-sentence. “Sir,” I corrected sharply. “Thank you, sir. You address me with respect here, Miss Wilde.” Her expression shifted, confusion clouding her face as her confidence from a moment ago crumbled. I couldn’t help but feel a t

    ~Sienna~ As Lucas strode away, leaving me alone in the echoing hallway, I exhaled a long, unsteady breath. My mind was still racing from the earlier presentation, from the surreal kiss he’d left on my cheek, and from the steady, knowing gaze he’d held as he walked out. Everything about him was intense, calculated. A mix of gratitude and confusion tangled inside me, and yet—there it was again, that nagging feeling in my chest I couldn’t quite name. I made my way back to my desk, catching looks from almost everyone I passed. Some were curious, others cold; a few wore amused smirks. It was clear by now that the news of my “engagement” had spread like wildfire. Settling into my chair, I saw Aiden come out of his office, his shoulders hunched in a way I’d never seen. His once-perfect hair was slightly mussed, and he wore a dejected look that contrasted completely with his usually immaculate appearance. He stalked over to my desk, his face twisted in a scowl. “Hope you’re happy now,

    ~Sienna~ My throat felt dry, and I took a steadying breath, knowing that hiding anything from Lucas was pointless. He always seemed to see right through me anyway. “That was my best friend, Ethan, I got this job through him. He… just doesn’t understand why I’m engaged all of a sudden,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper, feeling my cheeks warm under his steady gaze. Lucas studied me for a moment, his expression unreadable before he leaned back, a faint smirk touching his lips. “So, he’s protective of you. Not surprising, given your tendency to attract chaos wherever you go.” A flush of part embarrassment and part irritation crept over my face. “I don’t attract chaos. Things just… seem a bit chaotic lately, that’s all.” "Is he bothering you too much? I can get rid of him if that gives you peace!" Screeeeeccchhhhhh!!! The brakes screeched violently as Derrick jammed his foot down hard, jolting us forward in our seats. My heart leaped as the car jerked, nearly collidi

    ~Sienna~ The moment I saw CEO Richard Jones standing just a few inches before me, my stomach flipped, my throat went dry, and I felt every ounce of confidence drain from my body. There was no sneaking away now—he was already walking toward me, eyebrows raised in surprise, his authoritative gaze locked on mine. “Selena?” Richard’s voice was deep, steady, and thoroughly surprised. “What are you doing here?” I opened my mouth, but the words lodged somewhere in my throat, refusing to come out. Just as I was about to stammer out something ridiculous, a familiar voice came to my rescue. “Babe, seriously?” Lucas’s voice was smooth, effortlessly slipping into a tone that hinted at irritation mingled with feigned amusement. He strode over from behind, his gaze flicking between his father and me as he slid his arm around my shoulders. “I told you to wait in the car.” I blinked, my brain struggling to catch up, but I quickly found my footing. I leaned into Lucas’s side, letting myself re

    ~Lucas~ The moment Sienna slammed the car door and stormed off, her words still hung in the air, stinging more than I’d admit. I watched her walk away, shoulders squared, her pace fast and determined. Even through the tinted glass, I could see her subtly wiping her eyes, her chin tilted in defiance as she disappeared down the street. Derrick let out a low whistle, glancing at me in the rearview mirror. “Well, congratulations, Lucas. You’ve officially seen her bad side. Not sure how many people get to witness that.” I shot him a glare, sinking deeper into my seat as I folded my arms. “She overreacted,” I muttered, my voice sharper than I intended. But Derrick’s arched eyebrow only fueled my frustration. “She tried to handle your attitude pretty well, I’d say,” he remarked. “Sienna’s patient—hell, she endured you just fine for this long. But everyone’s got their breaking point, you know?” “Look, Derrick,” I snapped, trying to keep my expression impassive, though I felt a pang of

    ~Sienna~ It had been two weeks since that awful confrontation with Lucas, and I’d managed to make myself scarce around him, avoiding him like the plague. Every day, I took different hallways, skipped meetings, and avoided any chance of running into him. I refused to be in the same space as him. But despite my best efforts to keep him out of my mind, thoughts of him kept creeping in, reminding me of the simmering anger and, much to my frustration, the faint ache of missing him. And then, as if he’d vanished, I stopped seeing him at the office altogether. At first, it was a relief, but now, on the fifth day of his absence, a familiar twinge of worry clawed its way into my chest. I pushed it down, annoyed with myself for caring. It had been two weeks since our fight, and not a single word of apology. Not even a half-hearted “sorry” over text. How typical. Today was Friday, and I looked forward to a quiet evening at Violet’s. I’d been crashing at her place ever since that day with

    ~Sienna~I ignored her and turned to Lucas who's already in his way out of the hospital, his steps unsteady, his body slumped like the weight of the world was pressing down on him.I rushed after him, catching up as he staggered toward the car.“Lucas,” I said softly, wrapping an arm around his to steady him.We climbed into the car, and I settled into the driver’s seat, my hands shaking as I gripped the steering wheel. “Where to?” I asked softly, my voice cutting through the heavy silence as I turned the key in the ignition.Lucas didn’t answer. He just stared out the window, his gaze unfocused, lost somewhere far . His demeanor, usually so sharp and composed, was now weighed down by exhaustion and grief.I swallowed hard, glancing at him again, hoping for a sign, a word, anything. But he stayed quiet, his hands limp in his lap, his shoulders slouched like the weight of the world had settled there and refused to leave.Unsure of where to go, I began driving, the hum of the car engi

    ~Sienna~Lucas’s words lingered in the air like a thunderclap, reverberating in the suffocating silence of the waiting room.I stared at him, my heart twisting painfully at the sight of the man I thought was unbreakable—crumbling right before my eyes.His broad shoulders slumped, and his hands trembled as they raked through his disheveled hair. His breaths came shallow and uneven, as if he couldn’t catch air, no matter how hard he tried. This wasn’t the Lucas I knew—the confident, commanding man who always seemed in control. This was someone broken, someone stripped bare of the armor he always wore.I glanced at Lydia. She stood frozen at first, but then her knees buckled, and she sank to the cold, tiled floor.Her face was ghostly pale, her lips trembling as though she wanted to speak but couldn’t find the courage. Guilt poured off her in waves, thick and suffocating, filling the room like a tangible presence.She deceived him.A sickening wave of anger and disbelief rolled through

    ~Sienna~“We need to get her to the hospital,” Lucas said urgently, his voice shaking as he scooped her up in his arms.“I’ll drive,” I said immediately, my own fear pushing me into action.Lucas was already running toward the car, his steps frantic and uneven as Harper’s tiny frame lay limp against his chest. Lydia trailed behind us, her hands shaking and her face as pale as a ghost.As we reached Lucas’s car, he froze, fumbling awkwardly with one hand as he tried to dig into his pocket for the keys while still holding Harper tightly. His breathing was erratic, and his movements were clumsy, his fear and desperation evident.“Damn it!” he growled, his voice breaking as he finally pulled the key out and thrust it toward me. “Here—take it!”I grabbed the key from his trembling hand, my fingers brushing his for a brief second. “Get in the car,” I said quickly, my voice steady despite the panic coursing through me.Lucas didn’t hesitate. He rushed to the passenger side, cradling Harper c

    ~Sienna~The elevator doors slid open, and my breath caught in my throat. Standing in front of me, looking just as smug and menacing as the last time I saw her, was Lydia.Her fiery red heels tapped against the floor impatiently, and her sharp gaze zeroed in on me like a predator cornering its prey.But it wasn’t just her.Behind her stood her daughter— Lucas's daughter, clutching a stuffed bunny to her chest. The little girl’s wide, curious eyes darted between me and her mother. My stomach twisted painfully at the sight of her, a wave of unease washing over me.What is she doing here? And why would she bring her child?The questions raced through my mind, but I didn’t have time to process them. Lydia’s lips curled into a sly smile, her expression smug as she took a step forward, effectively blocking the elevator doors from closing.“Sienna,” she said, her voice dripping with condescension. “We need to talk.”I stiffened, every muscle in my body tensing. “I don’t think we have anyt

I couldn’t stop my fingers from trembling as I typed the question again, my mind reeling.Me: What do you mean by that?The screen blinked once, twice, and then the phone pinged again. My hand trembled as I read the message, a strange cocktail of disbelief and joy swirling in my chest as the message sank in.Unknown number: Aren't you looking for your real family? Well, here I am. I'm your biological brother. I'll come for you when the time is right, but for now, take charge and stop being weak. Those people are beneath you, princess.My breath caught in my throat, and my jaw went slack. I couldn't process the words. The phone nearly slipped from my hand as I stared at the screen in shock.Princess?I blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of it.Me? A princess?My mind raced.Who was this person?

    ~Sienna~The rain came down in torrents, the steady drumming on the car roof muffling the silence between us. My clothes clung to my skin, cold and heavy, and the faint scent of Grant’s cologne lingered in the jacket draped over my shoulders.It made me feel trapped, like I was suffocating under the weight of everything—Lucas, Lydia, and now… Grant. Lucas. I closed my eyes briefly, the memory of that night flashing vividly in my mind. The little girl tugging at his pants, calling him “Daddy.” The helpless look in his eyes. The woman standing there, too smug, too comfortable in the home I thought was mine to share with him. It had been days since then, and yet the pain hadn’t lessened. If anything, it had burrowed deeper, each unanswered question festering like a wound. Why didn’t you tell me?Why does it feel like I never really knew you at all?I pulled the jacket tighter, despite myself, the chill in my bones refusing to fade. My fingers trembled as I rested them on my lap, and

    ~Grant~Derrick shot up from his chair, his fists slamming onto the desk, the sound echoing sharply through the room.“You bastard,” he hissed.“If you dare lay a finger on her—”I held up a hand, cutting him off.“Relax, Derrick. No one’s going to hurt her. Unless, of course, you refuse to cooperate.”His chest heaved as he glared at me, pure rage burning in his eyes.“You’re bluffing,” he said, his voice wavering slightly.I reached for my phone, tapping on the screen before holding it up for him to see. It was a live photo feed of Hannah, sitting outside an ice cream shop, a pink cone in her hand.“Still think I’m bluffing?” I asked, my tone icy.Derrick’s face paled, and he fumbled for his own phone, quickly dialing Hannah’s number.“Hello?” her cheerful voice answered, loud from the speaker.“Hannah,” Derrick said urgently, his voice trembling just slightly.“Where are you right now?”“At the ice cream shop,” she replied, her voice confused. “Why?”“What are you wearing?

    ~Grant~I leaned back in my leather office chair, the soft amber glow of the city skyline stretching endlessly before me. The glass windows reflected the fading sunlight, but the tranquility outside was a far cry from the storm I’d unleashed in Lucas’s life.Two days—two entire days since Lucas had shown up at Weston.The cracks in his perfectly crafted world were widening by the second, and I could almost hear the foundation crumbling.I smirked, savoring the moment.I passed Sienna earlier today in the design department, and the image of her face lingered in my mind like the sweetest victory.She looked wrecked—utterly destroyed.Her eyes, usually sharp and defiant, were dull and rimmed with red, as though she hadn’t slept in days. Her shoulders slumped as she walked, her hands clutching a folder to her chest like it was her only anchor.The sight of her like that sent a rush of satisfaction through me.Good, I thought, tapping my fingers against the edge of my desk, the light sound

    ~Lucas~I watched as Sienna disappeared into Paul's car, her face pale, her shoulders hunched in defeat. The door slammed shut, the sound echoing through the empty space between us like a gunshot.My chest tightened painfully, each breath harder to take as I stood frozen on the porch.Her face—the heartbreak, the betrayal etched so deeply into her eyes—was burned into my mind.The way her voice trembled, the way her lips quivered before she turned away… It was as if I had taken every moment of joy we’d built together and crushed it under my heel.I wanted to run after her, to stop the car, to pull her into my arms and tell her how sorry I'm. I wanted to fix this, to explain how none of this was supposed to happen. But I couldn’t move. My legs felt like rock, my heart like a sinking stone. The soft hum of the car engine as it pulled away was deafening, each second stretching into an eternity until the taillights disappeared around the corner.My hands clenched into fists at my sides
