Sienna’s heart races as she tries to grasp the whirlwind unfolding outside her door. She glances around the small room, still half-dressed, hair thrown up messily, one shoe on, the other lying across the room where she kicked it off in frustration. Her eyes flit around, searching for her purse in a half-hearted panic. The one thing she clings to is her job, the place where she can at least try to feel some sense of control—if Arden will even take her back tonight.

Just then, her phone rings, and she grabs it, balancing it against her ear with her shoulder while she rummages through the mess on her dresser.

"Where are you, Sienna?" Mia’s voice buzzes through, edgy and urgent.

"Still home, getting ready for work," she mutters, shuffling through the clutter. "Why?"

"Turn on the news. And check outside."

Sienna sighs. "What now?" She finds the remote, flipping through the channels. "Mia, what am I supposed to be—"

"Check outside," Mia interrupts, her voice sharp.

    Sienna sinks further into the couch, her eyes drifting between the window and her phone. Three days. Three days of unanswered questions, unopened textbooks, and an emptier fridge with each passing hour. Her classes have come and gone without her, and she has no idea if she still even has a job. It feels like the world has moved on, leaving her stranded in this limbo—all because of Noah.Part of her wonders if he’s doing this on purpose. Maybe this is his way of punishing her for running away, for blocking him. A cruel smile probably plays on his lips as he watches her situation unfold from wherever he is, enjoying the chaos he’s left in his wake. Her life has become a spectacle, with strangers and reporters circling her home like vultures. It’s only a matter of time before someone finds out who she really is and blows it all open. Sienna grips her phone tightly, tempted to call him—to beg him to just end this.Her mind drifts off to Mia.The silence in the house feels thicker without

    The hum of the helicopter fills the silence, but it’s Sienna’s pulse she hears the loudest, relentless drumming that matches the height they’ve climbed. She grips the seat, palms slick with sweat, and fixes her gaze on anything but the endless drop below. Heights were never her thing; right now, they feel like a threat she can’t control, a wide-open sky that mocks her every fear.“Sienna.” Noah’s voice breaks through, a steady calm against the storm churning inside her. His hand finds hers, fingers strong, warm. The touch is grounding, reminding her that she’s not alone here. He glances at her, noticing how pale she’s become, how tense.“What’s wrong?” he asks, his tone gentle but edged with concern.“I... I’m afraid of heights. Thought you knew that,” she says, trying to manage a smile that falters halfway. Regret flashes in his eyes. He leans forward, signaling the pilot. “How long until we land?”“Thirty minutes, sir,” the pilot replies.Noah nods, jaw tightening. “We’ll get you d

    After they finish their quiet meal, Noah summons a team of attendants to attend to Sienna. By the time they’re done, she barely recognizes herself. Every inch of her body feels renewed. From waxing to blow-drying her hair to a meticulous manicure and pedicure, they’ve transformed her. Her three-toned hair gleams under the lights, framing her face with an almost movie-star allure. She feels like she’s stepped out of a dream, ready for a magazine cover. The effect isn’t lost on anyone. Noah’s guards can’t hide their stares, and he throws them a warning glance that makes them look away. But Noah himself doesn’t look away. He just stands there, watching her, caught in a rare moment of awe as he takes in the beautiful woman she’s become. Sienna feels a strange relief at being pampered, though a sense of boredom is already creeping in. Almost as if reading her mind, a staff member appears and escorts her down a hall. She’s carrying a stack of fresh clothes. As they approach a pair of do

    By the time Noah finally returns to the penthouse, the whole place feels like it's already gone through a wild night. The faint scent of wine and laughter lingers in the air. It’s well past midnight, and he’s barely stepped inside when he hears soft, slurred singing coming from the direction of the living room. As he enters, he finds Mia, clearly on the verge of passing out, mumbling to herself as her eyes flutter shut, her empty glass dangling precariously from her fingers.Noah sighs, moving over to her. “Alright, party queen. Let’s get you to bed,” he says softly, gently prying the glass from her hand. Mia grins up at him, her gaze unfocused, and he carefully helps her to her feet, guiding her to the guest room. Once she’s lying down, he makes sure she’s comfortable, pulling the blanket up to her shoulders. Her breathing evens out, and he knows she’s asleep before he even closes the door.As he turns around, he finds Sienna waiting for him, leaning against the hallway wall with a s

    Noah’s phone dings, and he checks the message. His chest tightens with anger as he looks over at Sienna, still sleeping peacefully on the bed. With the information he’s just received, he needs a drink to settle himself. Rising from his chair, he heads to the mini-bar, pouring himself a strong shot of vodka. His hand wraps tightly around the glass, nearly enough to shatter it. In one gulp, he finishes and pours another. Just as he turns to head back to his seat, Sienna suddenly sits up straight, and before Noah can say anything, she vomits onto the bed."Fuck!" he mutters, setting his glass down quickly. He rushes over to her, gathering her hair to keep it out of her face as she continues to throw up. Amidst her vomit, he notices streaks of blood staining the sheets. His brows furrow, unsettled. When she’s finally done, weak and barely able to sit up, Noah scoops her up, carrying her to the bathroom to clean her up, his mind trying to process why she might be vomiting blood.****The

    Sienna snorts. “Sweet isn’t exactly how I’d describe him.” She’s ready to unload every frustration that Noah has caused, but Mia’s already grinning, her eyes sparkling with that all-too-familiar mischief.“Oh, really?” Mia says, sitting up straighter and raising an eyebrow. “From the way you blushed when you walked in, I’d say he’s had more of an effect on you than you’re letting on.”Sienna rolls her eyes, though she feels heat creeping up her cheeks again. “Mia, the man is insufferable. He’s cocky, arrogant—”“And gorgeous,” Mia interrupts, her smirk widening. She’s clearly enjoying this too much.Sienna crosses her arms, fighting the urge to smile despite herself. The truth is, she can still picture him so vividly—lounging on the bed with that disarming smirk, his bare chest casually exposed like he knew exactly what effect it would have on her. “He’s...fine, okay? Objectively, he’s attractive. But that doesn’t mean I’m interested.”“Oh, sure,” Mia says with a laugh, clearly not bu

    The last notes of "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri fade into the car’s interior, leaving behind a wistful silence. The soft blue LED lights on the interior of the roof of the car glow like scattered fireflies, casting a serene ambiance over the luxurious interior. Sienna sinks into the moment, her senses caught between the soothing melody, the dim lights, and the steady presence of Noah beside her. Almost unconsciously, her hand slips into his. To her surprise, he doesn’t pull away. Instead, his fingers tighten around hers—firm, deliberate. The memory of their earlier dance flits through her mind, bittersweet and vivid. She wonders if he’s thinking of it too, but his expression remains unreadable, his focus sharp. Tonight, nostalgia isn’t his purpose—something else drives him. “Why do you have so many cars following us?” Sienna asks, her gaze darting to the convoy surrounding them. Three cars lead the way, three more tail behind, creating an impenetrable barricade. Noah d

    The ballroom hums with ambition, a living, breathing entity powered by whispered conspiracies and the soft clinking of crystal glasses. Laughter ripples through the air—too perfect, too polished—while handshakes are exchanged with just enough force to seal unspoken deals. All fake. Sienna glances around, noting how every gesture feels rehearsed. This isn’t just a party; it’s a chessboard, and every guest is here to outmaneuver the others. Wine glasses shimmer under the chandelier’s golden light, the liquid within glowing like molten ambition. A server glides past with a tray, interested guests taking a glass or two of what's being served. Sienna’s gaze is on the glasses before shifting to the table across the room. There they are. Nylar perched close to Ackworth, her hand casually brushing his arm as she leans in, her lips too close to his ear. A faint ache stirs in Sienna’s chest—sharp, bitter, and uninvited. She forces her attention elsewhere, but her thoughts remain tangled, ro

    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
