“What does Ackworth want from you, Mia?” Sienna’s voice is low but trembling with restrained anger as she holds the phone out of Mia’s reach. “I said give it back,” Mia snaps, her tone sharper now, but Sienna doesn’t budge. “Not until you tell me what’s going on,” Sienna counters, her gaze locked on Mia. “You’ve been acting strange, and now this? Who is Ackworth, Mia?” Mia’s eyes darken, and her usually composed demeanor cracks. In a flash, she lunges forward, her hands gripping Sienna’s wrists with surprising force. Sienna struggles, but Mia twists sharply, yanking the phone from her grasp. “Are you out of your mind?” Sienna exclaims, her voice breaking. Mia’s chest rises and falls as she glares at Sienna, her face flushed with fury. “No, Sienna. You are,” she spits, clutching her phone tightly. “You have no right to pry into my business—not after everything you’ve taken from me.” Confusion flashes across Sienna’s face. “What are you talking about? Taken what?” Mia’s la
The memory plays in Noah’s mind like a dark storm he can’t escape, each moment compounding his fury.“Noah, this is insane. You need to sit down,” Ivana says, her voice sharp but laced with faux concern as she blocks his path. “You’re bleeding. Just… go to the hospital, let someone take care of you.”“I don’t have time for this,” Noah growls, pushing past her. His jaw is clenched so tight it feels like it might snap.Ivana steps closer, her heels clicking against the hardwood. “Why are you doing this to yourself? Is this about her? The whore who ran off with another man?”He freezes. His breath hitches as his fury ignites like gasoline. The next moment, he’s lunging, his hand gripping Ivana’s arm like a vice. “Don’t,” he seethes, his voice low and deadly, “ever call her that again. You keep Sienna’s name out of your damn mouth.”Ivana jerks back, her eyes wide for a second before narrowing. She’s unfazed, quickly slipping back into her manipulative calm. “You’re acting like a fool, No
Sienna’s head lolls to the side, her body heavy with exhaustion. The edges of sleep cling to her, fogging her mind, but the faint creak of her door jolts her into awareness. Her eyes flutter open, and through the dim light, she sees two figures enter. Nurses, judging by their scrubs and the masks covering their faces, though something about them feels… off. She tries to push herself upright, but her arms tremble, weak and uncooperative. “I’m not insane,” she murmurs, her voice barely more than a rasp. Her throat burns from crying earlier, and the words scratch as they leave her lips. “You… you have the wrong person. Please, let me go.” The nurses exchange a glance, but neither responds. Their silence feels oppressive, like a heavy weight pressing down on her chest. “Did you hear me?” Sienna’s voice rises slightly, edged with panic. “I said I’m not insane!” They close the distance between them without a word, their movements methodical and unsettling. One of them pulls a syring
The cold seeps into Sienna's skin as her eyes flutter open. Darkness cloaks the room, save for a faint glow from a single lightbulb swaying overhead, casting distorted shadows on peeling walls. The air reeks of mildew and damp wood, mingling with the coppery tang of dried blood. Her head throbs, and her wrists ache, bound tightly in rough rope. Panic surges as she realizes the chain around her ankles secures her to a heavy iron loop bolted into the floor.“M-Mia?” Her voice is hoarse.Footsteps echo from the corner, slow and deliberate. Two figures emerge from the shadows. Mia steps closer first, her face obscured beneath streaks of light, a strange mix of guilt and disdain playing in her expression. Beside her, Ivana looms taller, her features sharper, crueler. A wicked smile curls her lips as she holds a rusted pipe in her hand, tapping it against her palm. "Well, look who's finally awake," Ivana says, her tone venomous. Sienna’s heart stutters. "What has gotten into you two? Ho
The tension in the car feels like a storm building, pressing on every nerve. Noah sits rigid in the back seat, his jaw clenched so tightly it seems capable of shattering steel. Vox glances back from the driver’s seat, his unease evident as he wrestles with how to deliver the bombshell weighing on his chest. Ethan, seated beside Noah, watches him closely, his posture tense as though bracing for the inevitable explosion.Vox clears his throat, his voice tentative. “Sir, there’s something you need to know.”Noah’s icy gaze snaps to him. “What is it?”The sharpness in his tone makes Vox hesitate. He draws a deep breath, his fingers tightening around the tablet in his lap. “It’s about Noel… and Ivana.”At the boy’s name, Ethan straightens, his curiosity sharpening into suspicion. Noah’s expression darkens, his patience stretched thin.“Spit it out,” Noah growls, his voice low and dangerous.Vox glances nervously between the two men, finally handing Noah the tablet. “I’ve been verifying the
The room reeks of decay and blood. Sienna is sprawled on the floor, her breath shallow as she struggles to rise, her hands shaking from exertion and terror. Ivana looms above her, disheveled and bloodied, clutching a gun with trembling fingers. Her manic grin sends chills down Sienna’s spine. Noah charges into the room with the force of a storm. "Sienna!" he shouts, his voice thick with desperation. But Ivana doesn’t hesitate. The gun swings toward him, her movements erratic yet deliberate. “Noah!” Sienna’s scream cuts through the air. The gunshot comes fast and sharp. Noah ducks behind the doorframe, his shoulder grazing the edge as the bullet ricochets off the wall. He grits his teeth, the near miss fueling his anger. Ivana laughs, a sound wild and sharp-edged. "Run while you can, King! Or better yet, stay and watch me end your little fairytale!" His mind races. Sienna is still in there, trapped, vulnerable. He can hear her ragged breathing, the strain in every cry. The cops
Sienna's body feels heavy, as if weighed down by the memories pressing against her chest. Her eyelids flutter open slowly, the light searing through her grogginess. Her first sight is Noah, sitting on the edge of a chair pulled close to her bed. His suit jacket is draped over the back of the chair, his tie loosened and hanging crookedly. His elbows rest on his knees, his head buried in his hands, as if he’s trying to hold himself together. The strain on his face, the shadows under his eyes, and the faint tremor in his shoulders betray his exhaustion. Her lips part, her voice scratchy and barely above a whisper. “I want a divorce.” Noah’s head jerks up, his eyes wide and disbelieving. “What?” His voice cracks slightly, as if he’s misheard her. “I want a divorce,” she repeats, her tone firmer this time, though it takes all her strength. Noah blinks rapidly, rising to his feet as if standing will make her words less real. He takes a tentative step closer to her, his hand reachi
Six Months Later .....The morning air carries a crispness that clings to Sienna’s skin as she stands by the window, her fingers curling around the handle of her coffee mug. Sunlight streams through the wide panes, scattering warmth across her office, yet it fails to thaw the cold knot in her chest. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint trace of lavender from the diffuser Courtney insisted on setting up. It’s supposed to help with stress. Does it work? Sienna isn’t sure.She loves every moment of being back in Paragon, throwing herself into work without leaving much time to think or process her emotions. She works tirelessly, seeking forgiveness - forgiving all those who wronged her, including herself. The weight of self-blame is crushing, as she replays the loss of their child in her mind. Each time she closes her eyes, the memory haunts her - the image of herself covered in blood is forever tattooed in her mind.Her reflection in the glass stares back—shoulders
The King's estate is alive with music and laughter. Fairy lights dangle like tiny stars from every tree in the sprawling backyard. A small crowd has gathered to celebrate the arrival of Noah and Sienna's twins. The theme is unmistakable—soft blues for their son and delicate pinks for their daughter. Silk ribbons in both colors wrap around the columns of the grand patio, and tables are adorned with matching floral arrangements—roses, peonies, and hydrangeas carefully placed in crystal vases. A lavish archway stands at the center of the yard, crafted from intertwined blue and pink roses, where the naming ceremony is about to take place. Everything is perfect, elegant, yet deeply personal—just the way Noah insisted it should be. Sienna sits on a white chair beneath the arch, holding her twins, one in each arm. She’s radiant despite the exhaustion that comes with being a new mother. Her figure, still recovering, is wrapped in a simple but stunning dress of soft cream silk. Her bobbed
Seven months later, Sienna is standing on the brink of what feels like an emotional cliff, one that’s littered with equal parts joy and sheer panic. She’s not exactly sure how she’s made it this far, but somehow, she’s here—carrying twins, something that still doesn’t quite feel real. Despite the overwhelming support from Noah, his mother, and all the other people around her, there’s something deeply personal about these moments. They’re hers, and hers alone. But today, she’s about to share this experience with Noah in a way she never expected. Mrs. King had been a frequent visitor, popping by to help Sienna with anything and everything. From checking on her health to making sure she was eating properly, Mrs. King always knew how to show up and make Sienna feel cared for. It was more than just maternal instinct—it was love, pure and simple. Everyone showed her love and support, and Sienna was starting to feel more like a mother than she ever thought she could be. But today—today was
Sienna wakes up to the gentle caress of dawn’s light peeking through the curtains, her body swaddled in the luxurious silk sheets that seem to whisper sweet nothings to her skin. As she stretches, the soft fabric rustles, releasing the faint scent of Noah’s cologne, which lingers on the pillows beside her like a gentle reminder of his presence.She lies there for a moment, savoring the peaceful atmosphere, her mind wrapped in the serenity of the morning.But as the minutes tick by, the weight of her responsibilities begins to creep into her consciousness, gently tugging at her mind like a persistent whisper. With a soft sigh, Sienna kicks off the covers and swings her legs over the side of the bed, her feet dangling in the air as she sits up.The bathroom beckons, and she rises from the bed, padding softly across the floor. As she passes by the mirror, she catches a glimpse of herself, her bobbed hair mussed from sleep, her eyes still heavy with the remnants of slumber.Noah had alrea
Ibiza had been a place of healing and renewal for Sienna and Noah, where they deepened their love and rediscovered each other. It was there that Noah proposed to Sienna once more, this time determined to give her the proper wedding they both deserved. Without hesitation, she said yes. Mrs. King had been overjoyed when they shared the news, eagerly announcing that she would invite all her favorite people to celebrate. And now, here they were, bringing that dream to life in Washington, D.C.Sienna couldn’t quite keep her hands steady as Mrs. King led her down the aisle. The older woman’s touch was warm, her arm a steadying anchor against the whirlwind of emotions crashing inside her. Mrs. King had offered to walk her without hesitation, and though Sienna had been reluctant at first, now she was grateful. With every step, she felt the weight of the moment settles in, the sheer magnitude of what lay ahead. The aisle stretched endlessly, a glistening path of white framed by cascading f
Sienna stands in front of the mirror, running her hands over the fabric of her black gown, a simple piece, knee-length, hugging her curves just enough to make her feel... seen. Not in the way she used to, when the world felt distant, but in a way that feels like she's finally back. She can almost feel herself, the woman she once was before all the chaos and the pain. She’s still her, but somehow more whole.She pulls her hair back into a ponytail, smoothing down any stray strands, and as she catches her reflection, she can’t help but smile. It’s a quiet smile, almost foreign, but it feels right. She’s not broken anymore. She’s healing, piece by piece. She’s getting closer to the woman she wants to be, and maybe, just maybe, she’s starting to accept that she deserves to feel it.The door creaks open behind her, and she doesn’t need to turn around to know who it is. She feels his presence the second he enters. It’s like the room shifts, the air thickening with his energy, his magnetism.
The jet lands smoothly on the private runway, the scent of saltwater faint in the air as the engines wind down. Sienna steps into the aisle, stretching and shaking off the remnants of her nap. Her bare feet are cold against the polished floor, but her focus is on Noah, who stands ahead, adjusting the sleeves of his clothes. He glances back, offering her his hand. “Ready?” he asks, his voice low, steady. “For Ibiza? Always,” she replies, slipping her hand into his as they descend the steps. But as they approach the tarmac, her steps falter. Standing at the base of the stairs, holding a vibrant bouquet of sunflowers and white roses, is a woman whose presence Sienna never imagined seeing here—Noah’s mother. Sienna’s smile freezes, her expression a polite mask even as her stomach knots. Leaning toward Noah, she whispers, “What’s your mother doing here?” The words come out light, almost playful, but there’s no hiding the tension in her voice. “She’s here to meet us,” Noah repli
Sunlight spills through the floor-to-ceiling windows of their bedroom, golden and warm, bathing the space in a serene glow. Noah King stretches lazily, the sheets pooling around his hips as his toned body catches the morning light. Sienna, lying on her side, watches him, her lips twitching into a grin. Even after a week of marriage, her attraction to him hasn’t dulled; it’s only grown sharper. “What will we do today?” she asks, her voice soft but curious, as though the day holds endless possibilities. Noah turns to face her, a sly smile curving his lips. “That depends. Are you planning to wake me up the same way tomorrow?” She laughs, her cheeks heating at the memory of this morning’s intimate wake-up call. “Maybe.” His golden eyes gleam mischievously as he swings his legs out of bed, pulling on a pair of well-worn jeans. The domestic ease of the moment makes Sienna’s chest ache in the best way. “We should pack,” he announces, fastening the button on his jeans. “Pack?” She
“Oh, my world, YES!” Sienna screams, coming before he’s halfway in. “Noah!” The fullness sends her over the brink. “Uhn! Feel you!” He shoves home, ripping another scream from her. And again. “You would’ve stolen my cum, just like that.” She writhes in her bonds as her orgasm consumes her, numbing her mind. . . . Once she finally falls limp, he bites out, “More?” His muscles quake against her. How badly he must need to come! “Yes!” she gasps. “I will always give you more.” He draws back his hips and grips her around the waist, widening his stance. He’s readying. She fidgets in her bindings. He looks like he’s about to ravage her, and there’s nothing she can do but take it. “Um, Noah—” He yanks her back along his cock while his body rams forward. He yells; she moans from the impact. His position, her position . . . she feels like a sexual plaything. "Maybe I have been missing out on so much," she thinks because the idea puts her right back on the brink. “Your body nee
Noah leads her further into the bedroom and pulls a remote control from his jeans pocket. With the press of a button, all the windows turn to mirrors. “It’s a type of smart glass,” he explains. “For full privacy when we have guests.” Sienna's mouth drops open, surprise etched on her face. "How did this get here?""I've always had this room waiting," Noah reveals, "waiting for the right time for us to explore it together. Sadly, you left before that could happen."Fascination and anxiousness swirl in her eyes. She's captivated by the mystery of this secret space. How did he envision such a place? What purpose did he intend it to serve? She tilts her head in admiration. “You do think of everything.” “It gets better.” He pushes another button, and the mirrors shift to screens, displaying the bed from multiple angles—even from above. “There are cameras in the bedroom?” she asks, her voice catching with a mix of shock and excitement. Sienna's gaze narrows, her mind racing. "You sa
