21. Invite

~Lucas~ My father was already seated in the courtyard when we arrived, comfortably lounging on a sleek teakwood chair with his legs crossed and an expensive glass of Imperial Murex Reserve wine on the table before him. The bottle itself was perched nearby, its polished glass catching the light—a reminder of his penchant for flaunting wealth in every little detail. He looked perfectly at home, one arm resting lazily along the back of his chair as he gazed out over the view of manicured gardens and trimmed hedges beyond the villa. His usual entourage flanked him: two guards with stone-faced expressions and, standing just beside his chair, was Clarke Duncan, his PA. I hadn’t seen her since my return to Bellmore. I’d thought she resigned, but it turns out that was just wishful thinking. I couldn’t help but scoff under my breath, but I forced myself to keep my expression neutral as I climbed out of the car. Sienna, on the other hand, looked more uneasy. I kept my irritation at her in

22. Zenith Gala

~Sienna~ As I walked over, I noticed Lucas and his father exchanging quick, tense whispers, their eyes darting briefly toward me. Curiosity prickled at me, and I couldn’t resist approaching, still reeling from their earlier, hushed exchange. So even the picture-perfect Jones family has its share of cracks, I thought to myself. Who would’ve guessed? When I got closer, Richard’s face softened, and he greeted me with that familiar warmth, though I could see a flicker of something else beneath the surface. “Selena,” he said, the nickname flowing as smoothly as the wine he was holding—a label that read Imperial Murex Reserve. I recognized it immediately; it was one of the most premium, expensive wines on the market. I glanced at Lucas, hoping he’d give me some clue about what was going on, but his expression remained guarded, unreadable. Richard signaled to Clarke and she approached extending a slip of paper toward me, ivory-colored with a gold crest embossed at the top—a formal invit

23. Lincoln Bell

~Sienna~ The tension wrapped around us like a live wire. Lucas’s arm was wrapped protectively around my waist, and I could feel his grip tighten as he squared off against Lincoln Bell. The air between them was thick, sharp, and electric. This wasn’t just corporate rivalry—it was deeply personal. “Good to see you here, Mr. Lincoln Bell,” Lucas’s voice cut through the noise, his tone sharp enough to slice glass. “Though it would be better if you weren’t so focused on my date.” Lincoln’s eyes flicked to where Lucas’s hand gripped my waist, a slow smirk spreading across his face as if amused by Lucas’s attempt at dominance. “Well, Mr. Jones, with a stunning woman like this, I can hardly be blamed, can I?” His tone was smooth, laced with challenge, and I felt my pulse quicken as he looked me over, as if sizing me up. I fought the urge to roll my eyes, feeling like a pawn between two powerful men. I’d known about their rivalry, but after the debacle last week, it had become an all-out

24. Liar

~Sienna~ Lucas and I had left the gala in silence yesterday, and the chill of it lingered around us like an unseen force. We still hadn’t spoken, and now I was stuck wondering how I’d ever break through his defenses again. This morning, I could hardly look at him at breakfast. He was like a storm cloud in that hoodie, brooding and sharp, refusing to even glance my way. And sure, I wanted to sort things out, but there was another more pressing matter—the promise of daily payments, none of which had shown up in my account. By noon, I gathered enough courage to confront him, finding him by the pool, basking in the summer sun like he owned not only the villa but also the sky, the weather, and maybe even the entire universe. He was sprawled back, one arm lazily stretched along the pool's edge, the other resting as he casually sipped on a glass of some iced drink that sparkled as much as he seemed to think he did. “Lucas!” I called out, trying to keep my tone even, but the way he barel

25. A New Devil

~Sienna~ By the time I made it to Weston Corp, my nerves were already frazzled from Lucas’s antics. My feet ached from rushing down the uneven pavement in heels clearly not meant for power-walking, and my blouse clung uncomfortably to my back. The day could only improve from here—or so I thought. As I pushed open the glass doors to the main office, I was greeted by the familiar hum of employees rushing around with files, answering phones, and typing furiously. The sleek black-and-white interior gleamed under the soft overhead lights, a hallmark of Weston’s aesthetic. But there was an unfamiliar tension in the air, a feeling that everyone was on edge. When I reached the design department, it became clear why. A tall woman stood at the front of the room, clipboard in hand, her eyes scanning the room like a hawk circling its prey. Her jet-black hair was slicked back into a severe bun, and she wore a dark green power suit that somehow looked even more imposing than Lucas’s usual en

26. Photos n More

~Sienna~ The glossy photos trembled slightly in my hands as I flipped through them. Each one told a story I wasn’t ready to face. There was a picture of Lucas and me at the hospital—his hand gripping mine firmly. Another of us standing outside my apartment, his face close to mine, caught in an intimate moment. Then the gym—his arm possessively around my waist. My stomach churned as I reached the last few. At the gala, Lucas and I walking hand-in-hand down the red carpet. The flash of cameras illuminated his stern profile, while my veil obscured most of my face. How? How did someone get these? I shuffled through them again, my heart pounding harder with every image. Whoever had taken these pictures had been following us from the very beginning. The earliest ones dated back to the day I’d announced my engagement to Lucas. This wasn’t a coincidence. Whoever this was had been close enough to capture moments no outsider should’ve seen. Someone who knew where Lucas lived. Someone who

27. The Don

~Lucas~ The night was dragging, and I didn’t mind dragging Sienna along with it. She needed a reminder that her antics over the weekend weren’t going to go unnoticed—or unpunished. Sending her out at 10 PM for something as simple as a suit? Perfect. Watching her scowl, yell, and stomp her feet like an angry toddler was entertaining enough to justify the effort. The hurt Sienna had inflicted on me over the weekend gnawed at me. I couldn’t forget that twisted smile on Lincoln Bell’s smug, arrogant face and the way she was grinning foolishly with him. And the fact that I had let my guard down for Sienna hurt even more. I thought she was going to be different. After five years of being single, I was finally recovering from the wounds my ex left behind, but she had managed to reopen them with her stupidity. I scoffed loudly, slamming the report on my desk with more force than necessary. The thought of everything grated my nerves. Derrick, on the other hand, was less amused. He sat acr

28. Interrogation

~Sienna~ I woke to rough hands gripping my arms, dragging me through a dimly lit passage. My head throbbed, my vision blurred, and the faint scent of alcohol, stale smoke, and something metallic filled the air. I couldn't remember how I got here. The last thing I recalled was being yanked into that jeep—then nothing. They must have drugged me. The men holding me weren’t gentle. The one on my left had fingers like iron clamps, his grip bruising as he yanked me forward. He was tall and stocky, with a shaved head that reflected the dim light above. The faint smell of cheap cologne and sweat clung to him, making my stomach churn. The man on my right wasn’t much better. He had a wiry build but moved with a quiet, predatory grace that unnerved me. His sharp jaw was dusted with stubble, and the scar running from his eyebrow to his cheek gave him a permanently hostile expression. “Let go of me!” I screamed, thrashing against their hold, but it was like fighting steel. “Stop squirming,” g

29. Every Part Of You

~Sienna~ My breath hitched as my gaze locked on the man before me. My mind scrambled to make sense of it all, but there he stood, a vision of poise and power, his tailored black suit fitting him like a second skin. The neon lights from the club’s hallway spilled in behind him, giving him an almost otherworldly aura. He was both ethereal and menacing, an aura of danger clinging to him like smoke. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t move, as the weight of recognition crushed me. “Lincoln?” The name slipped from my lips, barely a whisper, but it felt like it shattered the suffocating silence in the room. His eyes met mine, calm yet calculating, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of something—concern? Amusement?—before his expression hardened into one of absolute control. “Sienna,” he said smoothly, as though savoring the sound of my name. “What a surprise.” A surprise? I wanted to scream. Nothing about this felt like a coincidence. “You’re the Don?” My voice was hoarse, the disbel

30. Two Options

~Sienna~ Lincoln’s voice was smooth, almost hypnotic, as he leaned back in his chair, the dim light catching the sharp angles of his face. He swirled the wine in his glass, his gaze locked on me—unwavering and heavy. “I want you to be mine in all ramifications,” he said, his tone final, as though the decision had already been made. “You’ll leave Weston and come to my company. They don’t recognize your worth. Let me elevate you.” I swallowed hard, the weight of his words sinking in. “I don’t know whatever secret is between you and Lucas Jones,” Lincoln continued, his voice dropping an octave. “I had my boys dig into it, but it turns out he’s so secretive they didn’t find a thing.” I stiffened, my heart pounding in my chest. This was going somewhere I didn’t want it to. “Whatever deal is between the two of you, I’ll settle it.” His lips curled into a confident smirk, as though this was nothing but a business negotiation to him. “Just be mine.” The audacity of it left me speechl
