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 20Almost said I love youApollo was staring at his phone when Uri ran to him and hugged his leg from behind him . When he picked him up he gave him a hug and started to speak" I love you uncle Polo . You're my hero ."Apollo couldn't help but cry and when he looked up at Tobi he smiled at him and gave him a hug too ."You are the best brother a brother can ask for . ""I love you guys too. "Tobi pulled back and and spoke ;"Is Sienna on the way? "Apollo placed Uri down and took out his tablet for him to watch his favorite cartoons once he was comfortable underneath Apollo's jacket , and he has his headphones on , Apollo spoke" Yes she is on her way right now I have a
Chapter 21There are days when you feel like you have no control over what's going on in your life and at the same time you have control of what's going on in your life so it's something that you have a Grip on and then there's something that you have a grip on it still worst place to be. The art of learning lies in how and when to let go but you need to let go of matter how hard and no matter how challenging it might be. Letting go of what you used to know is never easy ,the release part is the hardest part. It may mean goodbye forever, and in some cases it means that you will never visit whatever the hell you latched on to in the 1st place. Sienna was feeling exactly that way she felt like she had a handle on what was going on in her life but she felt as if there was a part that you can control the part where she wanted to scream stop this train this train wasn't stopping and it's going as fast as a bullet train and there was nothing she could do to stop it she was in between fee
Chapter 22Apollo wasn't one to admit when he was going through a hard time. Ever since the explosion everything has been going down South and he hasn't admitted it to anyone else until now when his sister needed surgery. He thought everything was sorted and that his family was well covered in terms of insurance and health insurance and everything that needed to be done with regards to making sure that they were taking care of whether he was alive or whether he couldn't provide for them anymore I unfortunately didn't read the fine print and we need to get a loan for his business which isn't performing at the moment you forgot to read the fine print. Apollo what's good at keeping secrets and it was only now that his little brother found out that he was keeping his financial troubles a secret he thought that he was fine but he wasn't fine he was actually drowning and Sienna only found out on the flight back to Johannesburg that Apollo was in trouble and he was struggling to admit it .
Chapter 23 Sienna was worried about my best friend but more than that she was worried about her other best friend who didn't want to open up to her about the extent of how bad things were after the explosion. And the explosion happened everything that; Apollo had done The Good the bad and the ugly was brought into the light . He had been through it before and she thought that he would be able to handle it but as fate would have it he wasn't handling it very well he was avoiding the problem that was facing him but doing other things and even though she knew that she wasn't supposed to she actually helped Tobi out with regards to paying the bills.Apollo knew that the only person he could open up to was wrong person that wouldn't judge him even if he was poor and had no shoes and only had the clothes on his back she'd still take him in help and help him get back on his feet and probably get a new pair shoes but when someone is embarrassed to ask for help hotel the person that matters w
Chapter 24 Apollo has never been the type to not know what he needed to know he's always been the type of guy who has always been in control and always knew everything about everyone that he was involved with but this time he thought that he knew the woman that he loved and still loves but it turns out that there's more layers to Sienna that he still needed to she was friends with Brent and they had been intimate before but they have only ever been friends with benefits. To his surprise he found out that they have been long time friends with benefits they might as well be married but they have known each other for just about the same time so basically Brent had nothing on him . Brent had always been a good friend to both Siena and Apollo . He has always been fair to both of them and to them as people individually and he was also honest about the fact that his son doesn't quite like Sienna and he has been giving her a hard time. When I asked him what was the reason because she was go
Chapter 25 Kids have a way of making things that are not their problems their problems and when a kid doesn't know what's going on or probably doesn't understand why things are happening the way they happening they have a way of internalizing it and making it their fault so basically a kid with think that it's their fault that someone is going through a bad time or they are to blame for something they have no control over. Sienna knew this all too well and she knew what type of a kid Uri was. He was very sensitive and he didn't trust anybody easily. He only trusted the people he knew and the people his mother introduced him to, so Sienna was his mother's best friend, and she has always been around so he had every reason to trust her and the people he only knew. Sienna had come to the conclusion that Uri had seen something , and for some sort of odd reason he wasn't speaking to anyone about what he saw he managed to escape and it's unlike him to be afraid of his own father but of the
Chapter 26 Sienna was still in shock about what had happened and she was processing everything Apollo had said to her and what he thought she did with Brent and truth be told she didn't sleep with Brent they just live together in the same bed and when they woke up it looks like those leaving together but they didn't sleep together. She takes her seriously and the people she sleeps with seriously so the point where a man she loves is telling her that she loves her which is what you always wanted to hear and now he's acting like she's the one who's cheating on him she doesn't know what to do . Sienna knew that Brent made sense of things by physical intimacy , however the night after the explosion happened and Apollo acted out of character and lost it at her he needed to calm down she had ties with Apollo and they were strong ties they've been together for a long time physically but emotionally she thought that it was just a lot of work but she was willing to put in the work if he had
Chapter 27 Sienna took a breath and tried to process what was being said to her. She knew that; Apollo was going through a lot and he was losing control. He was not the type to lose control and he also wasn't the type to just not think things through when he was making decisions. As far as she knew Apollo had a good head on his shoulders and business-wise he was very precise and accurate for him to get his best friend arrested was something you and Messi found out something that he didn't approve of and he called the feds full stop as a result of him calling the feds he has lost almost everything and he's not handling it properly.With Sienna it wasn't always about the money. She knew how to manage any crisis whichever shape it took . She was worried about Apollo . She was also worried about Uri , she still didn't know how she was going to explain the extent of the situation to him and Uri didn't trust easily . She looked at Brent and winced. He gave her a hug and a peck on the cheek
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
