Chapter 5
Brunch with a difference .Sienna was in denial about what had just happened with Apollo. He seems like himself on one hand and on the other hand he doesn't seem like he was believing what he was telling her and that in turn the set of alarm bells. She knew that; he would never do something to hurt her deliberately but he did it in front of her father. Sienna I had a feeling that something must have happened between Lisa and Apollo that was serious.Sienna hard brunch to get through with her best friend. She didn't know if Apollo was going to be there or not, but she needed to get clarity . A couple of minutes after Apollo left it Sienna take a deep breath and continued eating her breakfast . Her father tried to cheer her up it worked for a while but she started feeling sad again .She had never been intimate with a bolo and yet she felt like she had lost a part of yourself which was the strangest feeling ever because the attraction was there , but neither of them acted on the feelings they had for each other and it'll point where they admit that they have feelings for each other Apollo drops a bomb and tells her that they can no longer be friends , Lisa has made her a hard limit and he's going to be a father. She was in Denial and to an extent hurt .As soon as she made it to the farm she spotted Gemma and walked to her .She was putting on a facade, and Sienna could tell by her body language and fake Smiling that something was wrong . Sienna was wearing a v-neck iris floral printed maxi dress, and on her way to the farm where the wedding was held , she changed her heels for a pair of white sneakers and since it was an autumn wedding she had on a blue cardigan . Her father's driver was instructed to drop her off and wait for her , then make sure she arrived home safely. He still didn't trust Apollo.When Sienna made it to Gemma she pulled her aside since it was a buffet breakfast and walked with her towards the lake . As soon as they were far away from the party and festivities, Gemma gave Sienna a hug ." Hey are you okay? "Sienna pulled back and looked at Gemma . She shook her head and took a deep breath . She sat down lotus position and Gemma joined her . She was wearing black skinny jeans and a white T-shirt." I should be asking you because this is the first time in a very long time that my brother has called me crying. What the hell happened from the time you left to this morning? "" I don't know what happened I just woke up went to church and had breakfast with My father full stop and during breakfast he came over and my father invited him against my better judgement I scooted over and he sit next to me. He came with a bottle of rum and white roses ."" Did he look sober to you ? ""I couldn't tell. He was clean and he smelled of baby cologne... He had minty fresh breath. I'm not going to deny that I wanted to kiss him just to stick it to my father and prove him wrong , but once again he was right about Pollo , and I know he is good ."Gemma swatted her tears and looked at Sienna seriously." I know that you want to see the getting him and you want to believe that the has to be a reason behind his behaviour but truth be told he has trained and the only time I can feel like he is truly my brother is when he's with you or when he's around you or when he knows that you're going to be around. ""I forgave him last night before I went to sleep, so what are you telling me right now is that the man I was talking to last night and the man that came and told me that he is ending all sorts of relationships with me that includes our friendship meant everything. "" Yes Lisa happens to be pregnant with his child. "Gemma looked at Sienna in disbelief and she could see that there was something that Gemma didn't trust about what she had just said." Gem you said like you don't trust that your brother made a baby with his girlfriend of six months. "" I think that it's too soon and he's not the type to just make a baby out of nowhere he sits had to take his time because he's always wanted a family and he's always wanted to be a father and that's why I made him guardian , God forbid if anything should happen to me. He has always been a solid guy I know he has his fault, but you surely can't believe that he wants to end all contact with you ? "" Easy also ending contact with other parts of his family circle because if he's doing that then Lisa is being abusive . "" She is ? "" Yes yes because the first thing and abuse it does or somebody who wants to control something and every aspect of their victims lives is to isolate them. I don't think the baby is Apollo's. "" Neither do I and I want you around so if you guys are not going to be seeing each other or actually be near each other ,or be friendly with each other for that matter ,can you please tell me what else can I do to make sure that the both of you get along with each other around the kids? "" Don't worry about that. I can get my assistant to dig up whatever she can on Lisa. How in the hell did your brother meet someone so controlling? "" He was out drinking after he saw you with some guy and they happened. "Sienna flashed back to six months ago . She was going out with Hugo Black a soccer star who she is still good friends with ."I was going out with Hugo but it wasn't anything serious and we didn't do anything actually we just enjoy each other's company why didn't he come to me , or better yet call me? "" Sienna you know him better than anyone . "" Not the drunken version of him and that's the part that scares me . "" You are the bravest person I know and I don't think Apollo being drunk it's going to scare you and fact he's a ball of emotions and he speaks his heart out when he's drunk so it's another side of him that you'll be annoyed of bud appreciate anyway I have known about his drinking problems and I want to go on my honeymoon with my husband and I want to do that knowing that he is fit enough to take care of my babies. "" What are you telling me Gem? "" In a case where my brother can't take care of my children , I have put you as back up."" Don't think like that you're going to grow old and see your great grandchildren. "" I know but just incase my brother can't manage you get full custody of my kids . Toby was with me when I made that decision and your name won't be mentioned until that decision is made by my baby brother ."" I understand . "Sienna leaned forwards to give Gemmaa hug and she hugged her back . They both stood up and started making their way back . Sienna felt clammy and hot and she needed to go freshen up ." Sienna are you okay friend. "" Yes I am I just need to freshen up is the room you booked for me still vacant ? "" Yes and it's under your name. "" I packed a pair of jeans and a t-shirt in my bag . I feel overdressed for the occassion so please give me a thirty minutes to change and I will meet everyone at the buffet . Including your brother ."" That sounds like a solid plan see you soon friend . "Apollo was keeping an eye on Sienna and he was secretly hoping to get her alone and when he saw her enter the hotel he thanked his lucky stars because Sienna was booked in the room next to his . He called her but she hung up and he knew he needed some time alone with her so she took the stairs and used the key he stole yesterday thinking that Sienna was going to go back to the hotel and to her room ; to enter her hotel room to talk to her and tell her the truth .© #KCMmuoeChapter 6 IntruderSienna needed a cold shower. She was feeling fine one moment, and then she was feeling all sorts of unwell the next. The cooling sensation of the water touching her skin came as a welcomed relief . She usually didn't take that long to get cleaned up but , today had been a really confusing and hard day and she was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that ; the man she thought she knew was abducted by aliens and reprogrammed over night . Sienna knew Appolo to be a man who does things on purpose with conviction. He also had a beautiful heart and no matter how tough hemay appeare to be he'd always showed his softer side without shame . All she knew was that Lisa; was out to make sure she didn't feature in anything that had to do with Appolo. It had already been an eventful morning and she was hoping her day would end peacefully . As soon as she was done taking the showe
Chapter 7Baby Mama drama brewingIt had been there months since the branch tryst Sienna had with Appolo. Life has gone back to normal for them within a matter of days after what they did at the hotel. Sienna left without saying goodbye to Apollo and Apollo wanted to make Sienna pay for not leaving without saying goodbye when she had promised him she would say goodbye.Woken up by sister the next morning because he had to drive both Garrett and Gemma to the airport so that they could go to their honeymoon. He was feeling obsessed and depressed at the same time. He was obsessed because I couldn't get over the fact that he wasn't going to have any more fun with Sienna and the depression kicked in when he realised that he had to sort out whatever problem he had with Lisa and focus on becoming a parent.Within a week of him getting back to normal he opened his company and started working. His business had been thriving and he was hosting an event to
Chapter 8 Fire Sienna her her phone on silent because she knew that her father was in mid-air by now in his way out of the country . Unlike many times when he had a trip abroad this one was impromptu which in turn set off a couple of alarm bells in Sienna's head .Her father was a think it through plan ahead execute perfectly kind of man. He was even early for the past couple Saturday's for their weekly dinner . He had made it clear to her that he didn't want her near Apollo in any way shape or form but now she's filling in for him and as confused as she was she was hiding her feelings very well. When Toby handed her a glass of ginger ale she smiled at him and spoke . " Tobias Driton . Thanks for taking care of me , you know if I had a little brother I would want him to be just like you because you're the coolest little brother any sister could ask for. "" Could you by any chance pass that on to my sister because she needs all
Chapter 9Forgiveness & FamilySienna was on her way home when she got stuck in traffic . It was raining cats and dogs and all she wanted to do was just get home cleanup change into her onesie that was sky blue with white polka dots and call it a night . The weather had changed drastically when she stepped out into the rain and into the limo, she could tell that she wasn't going to get home anytime soon so she should enjoy the rain and put out any fire that was started at the event that she attended in place of her father media wise . She had been stuck in traffic for the past thirty minutes and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong even though she knew that she was going to have a hectic morning the next day because the press was going to have a field day with her; she was genuinely having sinister feelings . As soon as she switched off the do not disturb function on her phone ; notifications and messages wouldn't stop coming in. S
Chapter 10 More DramaThe right to the hospital was the longest ride Sienna had to endure. She had been married before about Apollo but this time she was scared that he might have been hurt. She was also scared for Toby because Toby had to fly down to Cape Town with his soccer team for a technical meeting and match . All she was hoping for was that both guys were okay. Uri didn't want to let go of her the whole time. I want you to stay with Sienna all throughout the whole hospital visit. Aria liked Sienna too but she was more closer to her mother in the sense that if ever there was anything wrong she spoke to her naturally as daughters do. She was also close to her uncle Pollo. They usually had dates and catch up sessions where she would talk about what was really bothering her , or if she wanted something that her mother said no to, she would ask Apollo. The hotel fire was contained an hour after the whole drama ensued. Toby wasn't as
Chapter 11Tears, Kisses,& AdmissionsSienna 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 elevat
Chapter 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 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
