Chapter 12 I frowned slightly, knowing the fact that he must have called to check on my ex-wife, whom I was supposed to visit. I’m quite sure he will freak out after finding out I got into a fight with her instead. “What?” I said coldly the moment I picked up. “Did you see her?” Ken asked almost immediately. I responded with a sigh. “What? It didn’t go well.” He panicked “I met her, but it didn’t go well. Let’s just find another miss to sort things out.” I told him. “What? You really fought her?” Ken freaked out. “Let’s just talk another time,” I told him and sighed. Ken was about to say something, but I quickly ended the call. I dropped my phone back into my pocket and headed for the room. My phone continued to ring in my pocket, but I ignored it, knowing sure that Ken was the one calling. I lay on the bed and stared into the space. After a few minutes, the door opened again, and Lisa walked in with a tray. I got out of bed and gently watched her drop it on
Chapter 13 Sienna POV The moment Lucas left. I held Daphne by her wrist, pulled her away from the lounge, and headed back to our suite angrily. “How could you be talking to a stranger?!” I yelled, scolding her. “Did you even know how worried I was? But you were busy interacting with a stranger!” I continued screaming, catching so much attention, but I didn’t care. I was so vexed, I hated the fact that I saw her with Lucas. Not with anyone but Lucas? I was even more angry seeing that she wouldn’t respond. No matter what I say, Daphne isn’t saying a single word! The moment we arrived at our suite, I opened the door with the master card and threw Daphne in, ready to scold her till I became calm. “You were busy talking to a stranger, but now you couldn’t say a word?” I yelled frustratedly. “That’s because I have nothing to say.” Daphne shrugged with a lot of attitude before walking to take a seat on the sofa. “You have nothing to say after talking to a stranger? A man you know
Chapter 14 Sienna's pov I walked like a drunken man, but I was still on my steady feet, at least I was able to walk back into the suite. How would I have ever thought my own daughter would turn her back on me for a stranger she just met. It was really heartbreaking for me. I just hoped that I would be able to figure out how to apologize to her for speaking harshly and scolding her for what was entirely Lucas’s fault. I sat right beside her on the bed and watched her breathe smoothly, her face was as appealing as ever. “I promise to make it up to you,darling.” I said, as I rubbed my hands through her hair. She moved and I pulled away my hands, she'd definitely not want to see me. How could she had fallen asleep so quickly. I turned away and removed my dress to take a shower and made an order, hoping it'd be back by the time I'm done and when Daphne's awake. I entered the bathroom with my towel and slipped into the warm water. I didn't take time in there, it was a mere shower a
Chapter 15 Lucas’s Pov I wasn't sure if she heard anything but I hoped she didn't and it worked. “Sienna? What do you mean Sienna?” I asked her, feigning ignorance and pulling her close. “I thought I heard you mention Sienna right now.” She insisted. “No, you didn't. I need to sleep, can we ho to the room now?” I asked just to change the topic. Thank goodness she didn't try to argue with me, who knows what I'd have said? That I kept it from her all this while? Ah! Definitely not. I made my way with her to the room and slept off rubbing her hair while her head was on my chest. It felt really blissful and I didn't want to ruin it, I didn't want to do something to make her leave me. It was easier going to sleep with her. *** “Hey, Good morning.” I woke up in Lisa's arms, to her beautiful face and her high spirit then I placed a kiss on her forehead. I tried to stand up but she pulled me back to sleep and we were there together for minutes. “Good morning to you too.” She gave
Chapter 16 Sienna’s Pov I was really happy to see how his life was going down the drain. Lucas should be at that point where he would postrate at my feet and beg for his life. He would regret every ounce of life he took away from me. Right from the start, he had never considered me as someone worthwhile, neither would I do that. And I wouldn't let him take away my daughter from me. I was happy when I found out the job was done. He'd regret turning my daughter's back on me also. After I received the call from the guy that the news was out, I was expecting him to come back crawling and begging for his life back. Just like how I lived a miserable life trying to get over the pain he caused me. I went back inside only to find out that my daughter had messed up the dress I placed on the table to wear. It was really annoying and I lashed out at her. “Daphne, what the hell?” I screamed on the top of my lungs, but all she gave was silence. “Is this supposed to be a joke? Am I a joke
Chapter 17 Lucas's pov I dropped from the car and wandered around a bit, was too tired to even think right and I ended up getting sore in the heart. I began to boil in anger not minding what things my fury would ruin. The more I thought about it, the more I got really pissed. I tried to take a breath but it wasn't helping either. How could she get under my skin like that? I needed air, and couldn't believe my business was going down the drain just so fast because of Sienna’s unreasonable actions. I got back in the car after slamming the closest wall, and getting hurt, I knew who I could vent my anger on instead. I drove to the hotel really fast and I didn't expect the sight of what met me. “Daphne?” I muttered under my breath. I wondered where she was running to. I walked closer to her and she hugged me immediately she saw me. The tears in her eyes explained why she was running out of the hotel. I tried to console her, but she cried even louder and I knew I needed to ease h
Chapter 18 Lucas’s pov The brightness on her face and the way she screamed her lungs out scared me. I really hoped she wouldn't feel too comfortable with me and think I'd take responsibility. It was way too complicated to take care of someone else's child. If only I knew she was cheating on me years ago, I wouldn't dare to stay with her for so long. If Sienna wanted her child to be happy then she would have done something better than what she had been doing to make her daughter happy. We were at the park for two hours and counting and Lisa’s call brought me back to thinking how much Sienna's evil mind has brought me to a predicament. I hurriedly picked her call, before she started to her suspicious of my actions. “Hey! You aren't at the office? Where are you? Let me come over there.” She sounded so sweet and it got me thinking if I should really still meet or talk to Sienna. I could tell it was time to take Daphne back to the hotel. Her play time was over anyways. “Lisa,
Chapter 19 Lucas's pov “You know I warned you, Lucas. But I talk too much and I'm not supposed to do or say anything apart from what you wanted.” He kept on ranting but I couldn't say anything either. I was really frustrated, if only I could just get to talk to her to stop her misbehavior on my business but it wasn't possible. Her face alone infuriated me. Sienna was so callous. All I was ever thinking of was how to get Sienna to stop her filthy acts on my business. “Can we talk about what I called you here for now?” He signed, holding up his hand like he had a suggestion then he dropped them and folded them. “I'm all ears, Lucas. What do you intend to do?” “Remember the last project we were supposed to handle but got breached?” “Yeah, I know that. All thanks to your psychopath ex wife.” “Ken, do you wish for death?” I said in a whisper so no one thinks we were having a fight, of course we were. “You aren't supposed to get on my nerves like she does and you aren't allowed
