Chapter 11
Tears, Kisses,& Admissions
Sienna has been hurt by Apollo before; but never had she felt the kind of pain she was feeling at the moment . She had never lost sleep over a guy . The only guy she has ever lost sleep on was Apollo. She didn't know that the explosion was targeted at her; everybody was out and she was counting her blessings on the way to her father's office. Brent was quiet throughout the whole trip and he made sure that he took a route nobody else knew what to get her to the office to go do what was required of her. Her father had told her that she needed to close down the shipping division . It was 3 a.m. in the morning and no one was in the office. She knew that she could use the back door and do what needed to be done. She wasn't shaking about the newspaper reports she was reading on the way to the company and she really felt a bit safe with Brent around.They both went upstairs using the elevatChapter 12 Keep your hands off my girlSienna was slowly coming around and waking up . She had a hectic morning and the last thing she needed was not to wake up in her own bed.She did a mental scan of her body before opening her eyes and for the first time in many days since she had been on and off with a pillow; Sienna bike hub next to somebody's body the person was alive and they were not dead which was a good thing and when she opened her eyes to see who was sleeping next to her and who had their arm around her waist she smiled and mentally face palmed herself because she promised herself she wouldn't do the same mistake of sleeping with someone who she regarded as a friend and a close Ally.The person sleeping next to her was a person she knew and trusted and she didn't want to complicate things more but doing what she did with a Polo. Sienna wasn't friends with Brent's ex wife , but in her heart she knew that Ellie was friends with her and she had wanted her to meet Clara but sh
Chapter 13 Conflict resolutionApollo always had his own ways of tracking down Sienna. Even though he was mean to her earlier in the morning, he waited to get discharged from the hospital and as soon as he was given the all-clear he decided to track down Sienna because he knew he had messed up and he wasn't sure he could fix the mess he made . He was a fixer by nature and he hated not being able to remedy the situation. He managed to try go down because they both had an app that could track each other down if either one of them was in trouble full stop when he called her for the first time she hung up when you call for the second time she hung up again and he knew that he had to see her face-to-face to apologize for what he did. When he called for the third time and Sienna hung up he decided to pay her a visit. He had an extra key that was given to him by Sienna in case he wanted to sleepover or just see her.He held onto it and knocked on the door. When
Chapter 14 Organized with work but not my love lifeSienna wasn't in the mood to drive herself to work so she called her driver to get her to the office. It was already noon. This was the latest Sienna had clocked in for work in a very long time. She used the private elevator to get to her father's office and as soon as she sat down she called Eric. She needed to call a meeting with regards to shifting employees into other departments. The shipping department was fairly large and she knew that activating the closure would result in shifting a lot of staff personnel. " Eric, could you please organize a meeting with the entire shipping department and make sure when you organize the meeting that; the company lawyer is present. We need to get the ball rolling." " Good afternoon Sienna. I thought we were going to wait for your dad after what happened last night. It's all over the papers and the internet. I know that your father was supposed to be back by now but he hasn't contacted me or
Chapter 15Let me goThe last person that Sienna wanted to see was Apollo; but as the universe would have it, he was her 2:30 scheduled meeting. the meeting was the last meeting schedule for the day and Eric had gone home because she had sent him home knowing very well that he was lurking around the office in the wee hours of the morning doing ,god-knows-what so sending him home early was way for Sienna to get things done as efficiently as quickly as possible without him asking or second guessing her decisions with regards to what needed to be done on that day. Sienna was still worried about her father because he was behaving strangely.This was the first time that he's ever gone through a trip and not checked in with her knowing very well that she tends to get worried when things don't go according to how he said they should go . Something was wrong; she could feel it in her heart, soul , an
Chapter 16Sienna always puts rules in place , however when Apollo is around , every rule she has ever made becomes an exception for him She didn't like the fact that she was now sleeping with two guys and both of the were old flames the possibility of being torn between two lovers was imminent but she don't want to think about that because she had to focus on finding a father apart from the fact that she needed to go fly down to Cape Town she was still stuck in bed having passionate sex cause she was not making love with Apollo she just needed to get him to think that she was sticking around, when the fact of the matter was that by the time they started doing the dance with Apollo she had already booked a flight for the next morning . It wasn't cold on her part because she knew that he wasn't good for her and she had remembered the times that her father told her to be careful about Apollo even though he has the best of intentions he seemed like a very volatile character and A volatile
Chapter 17Apollo has always had the fear I've been left alone. The one thing that he was afraid to happen to him must have happened the morning after he found out that the woman he had fallen for and had loved for all these years was gone. It was unlike Sienna to say that she would do something and then not follow through. She was that dependable type, and that's what he always liked about her. He couldn't imagine living in a world without her. Apollo had never opened up to anyone the way he had opened up to Sienna , he knew that he had to come clean and tell her that he had feelings for her. Part of him knew that when Sienna flies out of the province , he always comes back at the end of the day.He still had the key to her apartment and he was hoping that he would see her after a long day at work he had lot to do at work and he wasn't himself he was shouting at everyone and he was mad at everything wrong everyone did . Even his assistant quit her job and told him to find someone els
Chapter 18 Spoken truths There is a point in your life when you need to figure out if you're running from something with your running something in this case she and I were running away from something she was running away from feelings that she had bid for so long and now that they were validated by someone who he had feelings for she doesn't know how to deal with them. The safest option was to always do what she did and that was run, but running sometimes has its benefits because you can clear your head and make sure that the next decision you make isn't driven by impulse but it's well-thought-out and executed as painlessly as possible. Life has a way of throwing a spanner in the works and for Sienna; she was dealing with a lot the one person she had always confided in had just told her that he had feelings for her and she ran away so she had no option but to call her best friend and when she called her best friend Gemma they had a long chat. She first of all apologized for not tel
Chapter 19" Unfortunately there's nothing that I've heard. The lead that I had was from my sister. She suspects that she saw someone that looks like my father but she's not sure so she needs to verify everything. "", I hear that your brother is good at what he does and there's a reason why a couple of the guys that I've worked with love working with her but I just don't trust her as yet.""I understand where your trust issues stem from but she's the sweetest person you can ever come across and she's a loving sister so I just hope that you can find some common ground with her because she really does like you but she's unsure because she thinks that you don't trust her do you have a reason for that?"" She's a journalist and need I remind you she thought you were dead for a long time only to find out that you are alive so I don't want to break up that holds other sister found you guys have going on b
Chapter 47 Begin again Apollo was sitting on a chair next to Sienna's bed the conversation that he had had with her father was an enlightening conversation he did know that he was a doctor and he did know that he also dealt with many patients who had the same feelings that Apollo did but he on the other hand did not want to the pure week and it was the last thing that he wanted to do because he needs it too be the man that he always wanted to be it didn't matter to him whether or not he had a job or whether or not he was going to have difficulty providing , he wanted everybody to be safe and everybody to be well taken care of and that included his family and then you aren't born baby that was on the way. Never in a million years did he ever think that he was going to be your father and the more he thought about it the more he was excited that he was part of something extraordinary. Apollo was thankful that Sienna was okay. He was excited to know that he was part of something an
Chapter 46 Gemma had always been cautious with her heart and she's always been afraid to take that big step or that leap of faith. When she met her husband she was so thankful to her like he is that she met someone that would love her regardless of the baggage she had . It meant that they would have to take everything that was her and the package that she was bringing.Aria that's always going to be part of the package and she was not going to compromise even though her father left when she was just a baby and Sienna took them in , she knew that if any guy wanted to be with her they'd have to accept her and Ari.Garette was an upstanding citizen that was right up until he did something out his previous time that he was living in that he didn't want anyone to know you changed everything about him changed his appearance and changed his last name. He had gotten involved in some shady business when his practice went under and when he moved to a new town , I thought that everything was goi
Chapter 45 It happened so fast. It happened so fast that she and I couldn't register what had happened. It was as if one minute she was laughing and then the next minute it was just darkness after a lot of light and laughter. She had told herself that she was going to tell Apollo the great news and she was going to tell her what she was freezing with regards to everything that was happening. She hadn't told him that Brent had told her that he had asked for permission from her father to marry her. Not only that but his number one competitor Daniel did the same. What's Sienna wanted to tell Daniel that's going to change everything it was going to change the way he thought about things and it was going to change the way he did things and hopefully it was going to change the way he did business because he not only had two take care of one person but he also had to take care of another human being . Sienna I don't been feeling well but she didn't tell anyone more specifically she doesn't
Chapter 44Sienna had always been good at keeping secrets and no matter how many times anyone tries to figure out he's always been unpredictable so you think that you know how that you really don't know how she would make you believe something is when something isn't and that's not her deceiving you but it would be her trying to protect herself from anything that's harmful to her soul or anything that could disturb her mental health in any way because you had ways of keeping stuff that was her own ,her own. She had known about a lot of things that were said and things that were asked she knew that there were three guys you wanted to I'll ask for her hand in marriage and she was work for choice but she hadn't made a choice because she wanted to know what was going on with a guy that she would have picked over any guy . Truth be told, Sienna was spoiled for choice and all three guys had something to offer her. She didn't know that she would be in the situation that she was in when she
Chapter 43 Apollo seldom drank or got drunk but on occasions when he would lose control and get drunk he would be unruly and he would act out of character this was the first time that he had gotten drunk during dinner that was so intense on so many levels because he had just had a fight with Sienna again after he said that he didn't want to fight with her he saw the error of his ways he wanted to make up for everything that had happened in the cabin but then again he was messing up everything and he was doing it in spectacular fashion. He had gone from wanting to apologize to Sienna to accusing her of using him to get through her mother's death and out of anger he told her that he was just using her for everything and he was very happy that he had double crossed Jimmy so she shouldn't worry about trying to help him because he can do everything by himself he doesn't need her help and she should have told him that she was behind the silent partner investment partner that helped his
Chapter 42As far as making it on time for dinner was concerned, Siena wasn't going to make it on time. They were going to have q 15 hour back for another hour before she could be completely ready and she knew that everybody had a room when she visited that dinner is on time but this time and she had managed to cries out for an hour before dinner talk to the man who says he loves her only to be hurt by him again. The fact that Apollo said he didn't want to fight was a lie. He ended up saying the wrong things out of anger . By the time dinner was done Apollo make sure that you knew that he was coming over in the morning and that he was spending the night at the main house he was excited because he got to spend time with his friends but he was also excited about the night that he was going to have a movie night with; Sienna and Daniel .Uri did notice that something was a bit off and he told Daniel who later organised a trip to his yacht . It was a welcome distraction . All three of
Chapter 41 Daniel has always been observant when it came to the people that he loved he noticed certain things when people were angry or sad or just not themselves if something was amiss he would know immediately and it was 30 minutes before dinner when he realized that Sienna hadn't come out of her room for an hour , which was unlike her . Sienna loved spending time with family and he found it quite odd that she was nowhere to be found and the last time he saw her was when she went to the cottage that he had allowed Apollo to stay in for the duration of his visit. While the nannies were getting the kids ready for dinner he decided to go check up on Sienna he knocked on the door for what seems to be a long time and there was no answer when he looked at his watch he knew that something wasn't right by this time she and I would have really been ready and waiting for everybody downstairs she was the type of person who was always ready and on time and he never missed any call time cal
Chapter 40Apollo looked at Sienna intensely. He didn't know how to feel and you didn't know how to react he was reading everything and nothing at the same time he wanted everything to do with the woman that he had fallen in love with and nothing to do with her at the same time which was a sucky place to be because when he doesn't know how he feels that's when he makes the wrong decisions he wasn't saying anything and he was stuck in a staring contest with Sienna . He have them asking himself who the person he was staring at was because he didn't know the person you was staring at it was like he was meeting somebody new for the first time and they were telling him that they were his boss but the fact of the matter was that ; he knew the person who was staring back at him or so he thought because if she has been the one calling the shots where does that leave him because in his head he feels as if everything that he thought that he had achieved on his own was of his own accord but it t
Chapter 38Apollo never understood why Sienna hated flying , she has always been the type to take risks whether there was a reward or not . He was thankful that she had bought him and Uri first class tickets . Luckily Uriel had an eventful morning and he was asleep for most of the flight. Apollo was busy getting rid of old emails and other things that didn't serve him because he knew that he wasn't going to get hired by anyone just yet because of the reputation that he had gained for double Crossing Jimmy. The one thing that he knew about Jimmy was that he never had a backbone, always had someone to answer to and he didn't know who he had to answer to but if he could just find out who he had to answer to you then he would talk to the person that recommended him to Jimmy. Part of him felt that Sienna couldn't be his boss . It was highly unlikely because he didn't like working with women and if he did work with women he knew that he worked for strong women so he was a bit confused as t
