BOSTON, 1992 ~JOANE~ "I don't like that man you brought into the house, Joane. You have a child now. When are you going to realize that in everything that you do, you have to think of your daughter?" My mother shouted at me in the living room. I had just returned to the house after sending Hugh o
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ I woke up in Sebastian's arms while he was still snoring, and I saw a chance to snap a short video so that he would believe me the next time we argued that he snored. Seeing his handsome face made me feel like I could stare at it the entire day and forget the fact that my parent
NEW YORK~ISABELLA~"I'm not your father." I looked at Joane and Hugh, my eyes sore from the tears that I was trying to hold in. It took me a minute to say anything as I was trying to process his words and what was happening. "What do you mean you're not my father?" I asked, shocked by his words.
NEW YORK~JOANE~After the front door closed behind Sienna, I got off the couch to go and check up on Nora. I couldn't imagine how scared she was when she heard the noise in the living room when Hugh walked in with a gun in his hand. But when I opened the door and walked inside her room, Hugh was
CALIFORNIA~DAPHNE~'Can't believe I agreed to come here,' I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes. Zac was holding my hand as we walked inside the restaurant to meet his parents. I wanted to get this over and done with already. It was tiring to pretend like I wanted to play happy couples with him
CALIFORNIA ~DAPHNE~ "This is our new home, Daph. I want you to marry me." I scoffed. 'He has to be joking. He couldn't have brought me from the restaurant to this place to tell me this bullshit,' I thought to myself as I chuckled. "This is ridiculous. You want me to marry you?" I asked, thinking
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "Mommy, you look very beautiful," Caleb complimented me as I looked at my new dress in front of the mirror. Cassie and Arianna were in the playroom playing dolls while Caleb chose to keep me company. I was preparing myself for dinner with Sebastian and trying out a few dresses
CALIFORNIA~DAPHNE~"Met Joane Williams in 1992 and relocated to New York with her, leaving behind Joane's mother and daughter," I muttered to myself as I read the file. Hugh Shaw wasn't Sienna's biological father, and it shocked me to my core. It was shocking that Joane left Sienna with her mothe
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ Sebastian and I were pacing up and down outside Daphne's hospital ward, impatiently waiting for her doctor to come and tell us if she was going to be alright. After we found her unconscious in her apartment in Michigan, Sebastian suggested that we fly her over to New York and a
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ "Come on, I won't hurt you. I know you want this as much as I do, love," Elias whispered in my ear in the bathroom. "I can't, Elias. Luke is sleeping, and besides that, I gave birth 5 weeks ago and can't -" "You can suck my dick if I can't penetrate," he said as he licked my e
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "No, baby, no," I cried. "You can't do this to me. Not now. We have a baby on the way. We need you. We all need you, please," I leaned down on his chest and cried. He was bleeding and losing a lot of blood. But when I heard the police siren sound in the distance, I felt a bit r
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ "Mr. Martinez sent us to bring you this, Miss," two delivery boys reported as they gave me two boxes of gifts. "Oh, thank you." I smiled at them as I took the gifts and closed the door after I was done signing on their clipboard. It had only been two days, but I couldn't cou
NEW YORK ~ARIANNA~ "Tell me when you're home," Noah stated as I hopped out of the Uber outside my house. I had forgotten that I left through the backyard gate as I went to the main gate and asked for security to open up for me. "Yes, I'm home. You can chill now, Rambo." "Rambo?" I chuckled
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ I hardly slept a wink that night, scared of what could happen to me and little Luke if I even closed my eyes for an hour after receiving threatening texts from Luke's wife. After tossing and turning non-stop, I finally got up from the bed, went to the closet, and started packin
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "You're in my den, assholes." Lawrence snarled. "It's either my way or the highway." Sebastian and I were caught off guard when four men emerged from hiding in the room and pointed their guns at us. I swore under my breath, just thinking that we were in deep shit the moment I
MICHIGAN ~DAPHNE~ (KNOCK KNOCK) I jumped when I heard the sudden knock on the door late in the afternoon. Ever since my last call with Ian last night, it had been quiet, and I was so sure that he had decided to stay out of my hair and left me alone. I was still healing from giving birth and
NEW YORK ~SIENNA~ "Don't worry, once your husband gets here, maybe I will go easy on you." Lawrence whispered in my ear after getting me tied up on a chair. "I never did anything to you. Why are you doing this to me? I don't understand because you're the one who ended our relationship when you f
