Chapter Thirty-four: Unwelcome Visitors

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-19 16:24:34

Sienna barely slept that night. Every creak of the wooden cabin sounded like a threat. Every gust of wind scraping against the windows made her heart race. She sat in the living room with a blanket draped over her shoulders, staring at the fireplace long after the flames had died down.

Morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows, but it did little to warm her nerves.

Julian was up early, his energy boundless. He tugged at her hand as she sat sipping coffee, her mind still replaying last night’s news leak.

“Mommy, can we go outside again?” he asked, wide-eyed and hopeful.

She forced a smile. “Just for a little while, baby.”

Cole was already posted at the back door when they stepped out. His sharp gaze swept the perimeter. He gave her a short nod—everything seemed clear. For now.

Julian ran toward the clearing again, plopping down in the tall grass, collecting more wildflowers. His humming drifted back to Sienna, a sweet, familiar sound that calmed her, if only briefly.

She stood

    Sienna pressed Julian tightly against her chest, his small arms wrapping instinctively around her neck. His soft breathing was steady, but his grip tightened as the distant sounds outside grew louder.She could barely hear Damian’s voice through the window, barking orders into his comms, his tone sharp and commanding. The faint glow of flashlights still bobbed beyond the trees, moving closer, like predators circling prey.The house, once a sanctuary, now felt exposed.Cole’s second-in-command, Harris, appeared in the doorway. “Ma’am, we need to get you to the panic room.”Panic room. The words sounded like something out of one of Damian’s high-profile security files, not her life.“Is that really necessary?” she asked, swallowing her fear.“It’s protocol,” Harris said briskly, already moving toward the hallway. “This wasn’t a random trespasser. Whoever’s out there came with a purpose.”Sienna’s legs felt heavy as she followed him, Julian clinging to her silently. Harris led them throu

    The black card with its ominous message lay heavy in Sienna’s trembling hands. "You can’t protect them forever."The weight of those words settled in her chest, suffocating. She forced herself to take a breath as Damian’s hand closed firmly over hers, steadying her.“We need to get you and Julian out of here,” he said quietly, but there was a dangerous edge beneath his calm.“Where?” she whispered. “They found us here. What’s stopping them from finding us again?”Damian’s jaw clenched, the muscle ticking in frustration. “We go off the grid. Completely.”Harris stepped forward, his expression grim. “There’s a safe house in Northern Italy. Remote. Secure.”Sienna shook her head, her pulse pounding in her ears. “Running won’t fix this.”“It’ll keep Julian safe,” Damian snapped, his voice sharp. “And that’s the only thing that matters.”She flinched but didn’t argue. He was right. Julian’s safety came first.“I’ll pack,” she said quietly.Damian nodded once, then turned back to Harris.

    The safe house was nothing like Sienna expected. A stone villa nestled high in the Italian Alps, surrounded by pine trees and silence. It should have felt peaceful. But it didn’t.Not with armed guards at every entrance. Not with Julian jumping at every noise. And certainly not with Damian pacing the living room like a caged animal.Sienna stood at the window, staring out over the dark mountains, arms crossed tight over her chest. “We can’t live like this,” she said softly.Damian turned, his blue eyes sharp. “We won’t. This is temporary.”“You said that the last time,” she murmured, not looking at him. “And now we’re hiding in the middle of nowhere with our son scared out of his mind.”His jaw clenched. “It’s better than the alternative.”Sienna spun around, anger flaring in her chest. “Which is what? Running forever? Waiting for someone to take another shot at us?”Damian crossed the room in three strides, closing the space between them. His hands came up, gripping her arms, b

    The sharp crack of a gunshot echoed in Sienna's ears, followed by Damian’s weight crashing into her, knocking the air from her lungs. She hit the ground hard, Julian tucked tightly against her chest, his small arms clinging to her neck.“Stay down!” Damian barked, shielding them with his body.She could barely think, adrenaline pumping through her veins, her pulse pounding in her ears. Another shot rang out, splintering the stone pillar inches from where she lay.Damian rolled to the side and fired back. Two quick shots. A grunt. Then silence.Sienna’s breath came in ragged gasps. Julian was crying softly against her chest, and she whispered into his ear, “It’s okay. I’ve got you. I’m here.”Damian pushed himself up, scanning the shadows with ruthless efficiency. Harris and two guards stormed past them, weapons raised.“We’re clear!” one of them shouted a minute later.Damian turned back, his face pale but tight with control. He reached for Sienna and Julian, his hand shaking slight

    The rain battered against the bulletproof windows of the safe house as if the storm itself was trying to force its way in. Sienna stood at the window, arms wrapped tightly around herself, watching the dark sky crack with lightning. Every flash illuminated the sharp angles of Damian’s fortified estate—cold, remote, and far from the life she once knew.And yet, it was the only place where Julian was safe.“You should get some sleep,” Damian said from behind her, his voice low but insistent.She didn’t turn around. “I can’t.”“I know,” he admitted quietly.For a moment, neither of them spoke. It was as if they both understood sleep was an illusion they couldn’t afford anymore.Sienna finally turned to face him. “How long are we going to hide here?”Damian’s jaw flexed. “Until I’m sure she can’t get to us again.”“Ava won’t stop,” Sienna said, her voice sharp with frustration. “You saw what she’s capable of.”His eyes darkened. “Which is why I’m handling it.”“You said that already.” Sien

    The house was quiet. Too quiet.Sienna stood in the doorway of Julian’s room, watching him sleep. His small hand was curled around the stuffed bear Damian had given him that afternoon. He looked peaceful now, as if the fear and uncertainty of the past few weeks had finally lifted.She wished she could say the same for herself.“You should try to sleep too.”Damian’s voice broke the silence behind her. She turned to see him leaning against the doorframe, his tie loose, the first few buttons of his shirt undone. He looked tired, but there was something softer in his expression. Something she hadn’t seen in a long time.“I can’t,” she admitted quietly. “It’s like my body forgot how.”He gave a faint nod, pushing off the frame and stepping closer. “I know the feeling.”For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence stretched, heavy with words unspoken. Sienna finally tore her gaze from Julian and walked past Damian into the hallway. He followed.They ended up in the sitting room, where

    Sienna’s pulse thundered in her ears. “Someone else?” she echoed, trying to make sense of Damian’s words. “Who? We thought it was Ava.”Damian stood at the window, his back rigid, hands clenched into fists at his sides. “Ava was the beginning,” he said, voice low and controlled, but there was an undercurrent of rage Sienna recognized all too well. “Someone helped her. Someone with deeper connections.”Sienna’s mind raced. “But Ava’s gone. She’s in custody. Who else would—”“An investor,” Damian cut in. “A former one. I had suspicions before, but now… now I’m certain.” He turned to her, his gaze steely. “His name is Victor Marcellos.”Sienna’s stomach knotted. She’d heard of Victor. He was a name whispered in business circles with a mixture of awe and fear. A man who’d clawed his way to the top, ruthless and without mercy.“Why would he come after you?” she asked carefully, though a sick feeling told her she already knew.Damian’s jaw tightened. “I cut him out of a major deal six m

    The blinking red light on the security panel seemed to pulse in time with Sienna’s pounding heart.“Damian,” she whispered again, but this time there was urgency in her tone. “What does that mean?”Damian was already moving. He crossed the room in three long strides, his hand flying to the panel. He punched in a code, but the light stayed red. His jaw tightened.“Security’s been breached,” he said grimly. “They’ve cut the perimeter feed.”Sienna’s blood ran cold. “How? You said this place was secure.”“It is,” Damian ground out. “Or it was.”A faint crackle came from the intercom again, this time clearer. A voice, distorted but unmistakably male, sliced through the silence.“Did you really think you could hide, Cavendish?”Sienna clamped a hand over her mouth, muffling a gasp. Damian’s face darkened with fury as he ripped the intercom off the wall. “Victor.”The voice chuckled. “Enjoy your little island retreat. I’ll be seeing you soon.”The feed cut out.Damian swore under his breath

    The grand Cavendish estate had been transformed into a breathtaking wedding venue. Twinkling fairy lights draped the sprawling gardens, casting a soft glow over the sea of elegantly dressed guests. A long, flower-lined aisle stretched toward the altar, where Sienna and Damian were about to say their vows. Sienna stood inside the bridal suite, staring at her reflection in the mirror. The dress Ava had chosen turned out to be perfect—an ivory lace gown that hugged her curves and cascaded into a dreamy, flowing train. Her chestnut hair was swept into an elegant updo, with loose strands framing her face. “You look like a queen,” Ava whispered behind her. Sienna exhaled, trying to steady the fluttering in her chest. “I feel like I’m dreaming.” Ava squeezed her hands. “This is real. You’re about to marry the love of your life. And trust me, he looks just as lovesick waiting for you out there.” Sienna laughed softly, the nerves easing slightly. A knock at the door made them turn.

    Sienna never thought she would be planning a wedding—at least not like this. She stood in the middle of an elegant bridal boutique, surrounded by rows of breathtaking gowns, each one whispering promises of love and forever. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, illuminating the delicate lace and shimmering fabrics. It felt surreal. “Try this one.” Ava, her best friend and bridesmaid, held up a stunning ivory dress with intricate beadwork along the bodice. Sienna hesitated, brushing her fingers over the fabric. “It’s beautiful.” Ava grinned. “Then what are you waiting for? Go, try it on!” Sienna laughed, allowing herself to be ushered into the dressing room. As she slipped into the gown, she caught sight of her reflection in the mirror. She looked… different. The woman staring back at her wasn’t the broken girl who had spent years hiding. She was strong. Whole. Ready to step into a future she never thought possible. A soft knock interrupted her thoughts. “Sienna

    The morning sun streamed through the curtains, casting a golden glow over the bedroom. Sienna stretched beneath the soft sheets, savoring the quiet. It was the first morning in what felt like forever that she woke up without fear pressing against her chest. She turned her head and found Damian still asleep beside her. His dark lashes rested against his cheekbones, his breathing deep and steady. He looked peaceful, a stark contrast to the man who had spent the last few weeks fighting battles in the shadows. Sienna smiled softly, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. He had barely slept since they returned, his mind always restless. But last night, after everything, he had finally let himself relax in her arms. She slid out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake him. Pulling on one of Damian’s shirts, she padded down the hallway toward Julian’s room. The sight of her son curled up with his stuffed bear made warmth spread through her chest. He looked so peaceful, his tiny f

    Sienna’s pulse roared in her ears as she stared at the screen. Julian was asleep, unaware of the danger standing right beside him. The man in black held his gun low, almost casual, as if taking her son’s life was just another job. Damian didn’t move, but she could feel the fury radiating from him, a storm barely restrained. His grip on his gun was so tight his knuckles turned white. Luca smiled, pleased with himself. “Now, let’s talk.” Sienna forced herself to breathe. Panicking wouldn’t help Julian. She needed to think, to be smart. Damian’s voice was deathly calm. “Let him go.” Luca clicked his tongue. “That’s not how this works. You took something from me, Cavendish. It’s only fair I take something from you.” Sienna’s stomach twisted. “What do you want?” Luca turned his gaze on her, his smirk deepening. “Ah, the mother. I heard so much about you.” His dark eyes traveled over her in a way that made her skin crawl. “Beautiful. Strong. And now… desperate.” Damian took

    Sienna’s hands trembled as she gripped her phone, her mind racing through every possible scenario. Luca Romano had just made his move. He knew where she was. He knew about Julian. And if she didn’t act fast, she could lose everything. She forced herself to breathe, to think clearly. Panic wouldn’t help her now. She grabbed the spare phone Damian had given her and dialed. Oliver answered on the second ring. “Sienna?” “There’s been a call.” Her voice was tight. “From one of Luca’s men. He threatened Julian.” A beat of silence. Then Oliver’s voice turned sharp. “What did he say?” “He said I needed to cooperate. That they’d be in touch.” Oliver cursed under his breath. “They’re testing you. Trying to see if you’ll break.” Sienna swallowed the lump in her throat. “Then they don’t know me very well.” She turned to the bedroom, her gaze softening as she watched Julian sleeping peacefully. He had no idea of the war that was closing in around them. And she would never let i

    Damian stepped out of Luca Romano’s club, his fists clenched so tightly his nails bit into his palms. The London night was cool, but the fire in his chest burned hotter than ever. He had given Luca a chance—a warning. Now, it was war. Mia was waiting by the car, leaning against the sleek black Aston Martin, her arms crossed. She looked at his face and sighed. “I take it he didn’t accept your generous offer of staying alive?” Damian opened the car door but didn’t get in. His mind was already calculating, strategizing. “He wants me to pay him back the money he lost.” Mia scoffed. “Of course he does.” “He also implied Julian could become collateral damage.” Her expression hardened instantly. “Then he’s a dead man.” Damian nodded once. “We hit him before he hits us.” Mia slid into the driver’s seat. “Where do we start?” Damian got in beside her, his voice like steel. “With a message.” ---### **Sienna’s Safe House – Paris** Sienna paced the length of the penthouse sui

    Damian sat at his desk, the glow of his computer screen casting sharp shadows across his face. His jaw was tight, his fingers curled into a fist against the polished wood. The information in front of him was worse than he had expected. Luca Romano wasn’t just a threat—he was preparing to strike. A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. He knew who it was before she even stepped inside. Sienna. She closed the door softly behind her, her gaze locked onto him. “Tell me the truth,” she said, crossing the room. “I know you’re keeping something from me.” Damian exhaled sharply, leaning back in his chair. “Sienna, it’s complicated.” “No,” she shot back. “It’s simple. Either we’re in this together, or you keep shutting me out and let me walk away.” That hit him harder than he expected. His expression darkened. “You’re not walking away.” “Then tell me what’s going on.” He studied her, the fire in her eyes. She deserved the truth. “Luca Romano wants revenge,” Damian

    Sienna stood frozen, the dial tone ringing in her ears. Morelli’s words slithered into her mind, cold and unforgiving. *"By the time this night is over, Damian Cavendish won’t be coming home."* No. Her grip tightened on the phone until her knuckles turned white. She had been waiting, trusting Damian to handle things, but now? Now she knew waiting wasn’t an option. She had to act. Her gaze darted to Julian’s room. He was safe, for now, but if Morelli had reached out to her, it meant he was confident—too confident. And that meant something was about to go terribly wrong. She strode to the bedside table, yanking open the drawer. Damian had left her a gun, just in case. She had never needed it before, but tonight was different. Tonight, she would fight. She tucked the weapon into the waistband of her jeans and grabbed the car keys. Mia had briefed her about Morelli’s estate in Italy before she left. Sienna had pretended not to listen, but she had memorized the details.

    The night air was crisp as Damian and his team moved like shadows toward the north entrance of Morelli’s compound. The moon hung low, casting long, ominous silhouettes against the stone walls. Mia kept pace beside him, her weapon drawn, eyes sharp. “Thirty seconds until rotation.” Damian’s heartbeat was steady, his focus razor-sharp. The past few days had led to this moment. Morelli had pushed too far—threatening Julian, hurting Sienna. Now, it was time to end it. A distant murmur of voices signaled the guards changing shifts. Damian raised a hand. “Go.” His team moved. Silent. Efficient. They slipped through the small gap in security, pressing against the cool stone as they advanced through the courtyard. No alarms. No signs of detection. Yet. Mia tapped her earpiece. “We’re in.” From their position, they had a clear view of the main house—Morelli’s stronghold. Massive windows overlooked the estate, their glass shimmering under the pale light. “Security’s heavier in
