Shienna couldn't stay at home. She was bored and didn't know how to spend a day in prison. She repeatedly went back and forth to the park and then back home, making Jennifer frown."Aren't you tired? Can't you stay where you are and rest? It's a pity you're taking your baby here and there," Jennifer commented, frowning."I'm tired, J. Can't we just go out for a while? Please, do something to get me out of this place." Shienna folded her arms across her chest, begging her best friend to devise a brilliant idea. Shienna knew very well that Jennifer was a genius. Her ideas always managed to solve the problems she faced during their friendship."What do you want me to do?"Shienna shrugged. "Anything. Maybe you can distract all the guards so I can escape," Shienna said while giving puppy eyes that made Jennifer sigh harshly. "Please, J.""You want your possessive husband to chop my head off, huh?""He won't do anything. I promise."Jennifer stared at Shienna's pained face and pair of glaze
It was getting late, but Shienna couldn't keep her eyes closed. She was upset that Bryan hadn't come and hadn't given her any news. He had broken his promise.Another thing that made it difficult for Shienna to close her eyes was meeting with Zanara, her twin sister.What Zanara said made her think non-stop. Did their parents treat them so differently?All this time, Shienna had never seen for herself how her mother treated Zanara because all she knew was that her mother was very ambitious to make her children successful people.Zanara was no exception.So, it didn't make sense that her mother would cheat by always putting Zanara last."Hey, why aren't you asleep yet?" asked Jennifer as she came out of the room to get a drink and found Shienna still sitting on the couch with the TV on. However, she didn't look at the television for a second but instead daydreamed. "How do you feel after walking and getting some fresh air?""Bad! I met Zanara.""Really? So? Is she okay?"Shienna nodded,
Bryan left after giving Jennifer a message and requesting they not do things without his permission because it might endanger Shienna's life.He couldn't imagine what he feared would happen again. To prevent that, Bryan had contacted some of his trusted technicians to come to Shienna's residence and install surveillance systems such as CCTV and other top-notch security devices."You have to take good care of Shienna and Jennifer. I don't want things like yesterday to happen again. All because of your negligence!" Bryan said, which was met with obedient answers from the several bodyguards he had assigned to guard the mansion. "I'll send some people to watch the surveillance room. The technicians will come to install the CCTV, and one of you should stand guard and make sure the technicians do a good job.""Yes, Mr. Sanders! We won't make any more mistakes."Bryan nodded, still with a sour face. He then left the guards, who he was sure would do a good job. He had not only worked with the
Night had fallen, and Bryan was supposed to be getting ready, but he was still lost in a daydream that took him by surprise when he realized that he had been brooding in his room for almost an hour.Edward had stood up and asked his readiness until ten minutes later, and he still didn't respond."Would you like this dinner canceled? I'll let Mrs. Shienna know—""No, Ed. We're leaving now." Bryan got up and grabbed his coat, then walked with Edward following behind. He had almost reached the car waiting in the lobby, but someone stood in his way."Are you going to see that woman?" asked the woman, who was now only a few steps ahead of Bryan. He didn't answer the question that he thought wasn't important. In Bryan's opinion, he had explained enough yesterday and didn't need to give any more insight. "Bryan! Don't ignore me!"Bryan continued to take wide strides and got into the car without caring about her screams."Did you lock my room, Ed?" Bryan asked, making sure. He didn't want Ama
"What? I really don't know what you're talking about, Bray." Shienna shook her head. Her gaze was fixed on Bryan. "My dad would never do that. He loved my mom very much. Although—although my mom wasn't as loving as yours—" Shienna couldn't continue. She had a pained look on her face, and her eyes were moving irregularly.Bryan quickly grabbed Shienna's fingers and realized his wife's anxiety. He said everything not to ruin tonight's event. What had just come out of his mouth was just a prologue and had not yet reached the first part."Don't touch me! Did you marry me for this purpose? Because you want to break my heart by spreading false news to me about my father? Or you wanna take revenge on me for my father's deeds.""Shie, that's not true. I haven't even explained everything.""I don't want to hear anything else." Shienna got up, followed by Bryan, who didn't want her to leave. This wasn't the kind of night he wanted to spend with Shienna. "Were you hurt because my dad got ahead o
Shienna opened her eyes while the sky was still dark. Her gaze wandered far and wide, looking up at the ceiling of the room she was currently lying in. Beside her, Bryan was still asleep after a hot night between them that, for a while, had made Shienna so happy. However, it faded as she recalled what Bryan had said.Bryan's words were still ringing in her mind, and she couldn't shake the words that kept echoing in her ears.Everything. About the business drama between her father, Bryan's father, Bryan, and Jun. And Amara's presence revolves around the three of them like a vicious circle that is hard to break. Add to that Bryan's expression of feelings for her, which just seemed like a pretense for the sake of a goal.Shienna doesn't easily believe that even after a wonderful night, there isn't a single person in the world who would turn down amazing sex, even if it's with an enemy.She knew that sex was the biggest temptation. That's why she uses the same weapon Bryan is using right n
Bryan woke up in a very happy state. His heart blossomed because he had expressed his feelings for his beloved woman. Feelings that he had been suppressing made him uneasy about his day because all he could imagine was the separation from Shienna when their baby was born.However, all of a sudden, that happy feeling seemed to be shattered into pieces as soon as he read the message that Shienna wrote on a piece of paper and left on the nightstand.It was a goodbye that didn't state the reasons why Shienna had chosen that path. Bryan's heart was broken into pieces, feeling betrayed once again, although this time it wasn't because of the same thing as before. This time, it was much more painful.Bryan's body slumped to the floor, stunned for a while, before finally forcing himself to get up, put on his clothes, and hurry to find his wife.Shienna might not be too far away, and he had to make sure of that.Bryan drove the car at a speed he could never have imagined. His life had been turne
Bryan was still staring into the room where his wife was still unconscious. The surgery went well, the doctor said. And he only had to wait until Shienna was more stable to see her.Bryan, however, was impatient. He wanted to see Shienna now and he said that he loved her so much. He couldn't bear to see Shienna unconscious with several pieces of equipment still attached to her body. And later, when Shienna woke up, would she ask about the baby? What would Bryan say to her if that happened?"Bryan, is she okay?" asked Jennifer, who came stumbling in after hearing the news from Edward. She clamped her mouth shut at the sight of her best friend's condition. "Oh, Shie... what happened to you?"Bryan gave no response to Jennifer's question, and Jennifer realized the man next to him was now looking at his wife with a hurt look."Go home, Bryan. I'll take care of her. Ed said you haven't been home or eaten since yesterday.""I'm not leaving her. Last time, I just fell asleep from happiness,
