Welcome home, Sienna

Sienna’s POV Pressing the sleek brass doorbell of Candice’s luxury apartment, I stepped back and waited for the door to be answered. As soon as our return flight from Ibiza touched the soil of New York City, I had dropped my things at my place and boarded a taxi here without any delays, anticipating to see Livvy. To hug her, see her warm smile again, and tell her how much I haf missed her.Less than a minute later, the door was pushed open from the inside and Candice’s cheerful face greeted me.“Omg! It’s you, Sienna!” She squealed in delight before throwing her arms around my neck in an embrace. I chuckled softly at her contagious happiness. “Mommy! You’re back!” A small voice came from behind Candice and she stepped aside, giving way for me to see Livvy running towards me, a plush teddy bear in her hand.“Sweetie!” My heart warmed instantly and I crouched to the ground, spreading out my arms to catch her in a hug just on time. Even though it had only been three days, it felt as

Out of Control

Sienna’s POV“Kiss me. Kiss me, please.”The ghost of my plea from the campaign’s after-party fell on my ears as I stared at Roman’s tall, black-clad figure waiting for me by my doorsteps.“Fuck.” I cursed in my head. Why was he here? Did it have something to do with the after party?Embarrassed by my drunken plea of the night before, I had spent all morning before our return trying my best to have as minimal contact with Roman as possible.My heart beat raced and I dug my fingers subconsciously into my now palms. Did I maybe blurt out something else last night? About him being my ex husband or perhaps about Livvy being his daughter?God, please! Let it not be either of the options. The thought alone was horrifying. I tensed as he walked up to Livvy and I with a small smile gracing his face, meant to ease my mind. But it didn’t. Instead, it worsened my state of unrest. My grip on Livvy’s hand tightened and I pulled her closer to me protectively.“Mommy. Who is that man?” She asked m

A Great Day or a Dream?

Sienna’s POVAs I half-walked, half-skipped into the company building, a smile played on my lips and my heart felt warm against my chest.Catching a glimpse of Ms. Helen cleaning the corridor, I waved gingerly at her, my teeth flashing in a big smile.“Morning, Ms. Helen!”“Good day to you too, Miss. Blake.” Ms. Helen returned my wave with a smile, which carried a subtle hint of confusion. “You look and sound really cheerful today. What’s the good news?”“Oh.” I laughed again, waving her off. “It’s just that the weather feels like today. I have a feeling we’re going to have a wonderful day today. Anyway, have a great day, Ms. Helen.”I waved at her again as I walked away and Ms. Helen chuckled good-naturedly, waving me back.As I strode down the hallway, my thoughts drifted back to Roman and the spicy event of last night. It felt like one of the dreams I had always had during these past years. Those dreams of when he would slip under the covers beside me and make sweet love to me.And

Hell in Paradise

Roman’s POV“Roman!” Sabrina’s furious, voice rang out behind me as I sipped from my glass of sparkling water while skimming through the Vogue copy in my hand.“Care to explain this?!” She slapped the same Vogue copy on the table before me, literally fuming with rage. As much as her outburst irritated me, I tried my best to remain calm and composed.Setting my glass down, I lifted my gaze to her reddened face and raised an eyebrow in silent inquiry. “What do you mean?”“This!” She pointed at Sienna’s image on the cover page. “How can you let this happen?!”My frown deepened. I couldn’t understand how someone could hate their own sister’s success so much. Even if Sienna was so evil, getting so angry over her doing well didn’t make any sense.It was thoughts like this that made me doubt Sabrina’s truth sometimes.“You’re not making any sense, Sabrina.” I said to her, doing my best to still keep my tone calm. “All I see is a young woman who is succeeding in her field….”“Succeeding, my

The Big Launch

Sienna’s POVONE WEEK LATER“You can open your eyes now,” Candice whispered, stepping back as she finished my makeup. I opened my eyes slowly and looked at my reflection in the mirror. A smile crept my face as I admired the look. Soft and glowing with warm tones that enhanced my features without looking overdone. My hair was styled into loose waves, cascading over my shoulders effortlessly. It wasn’t bold or dramatic. Just simple and elegant. Candice had insisted I dress the part. As the creative director behind the recent successful campaign for a multi billion dollar company, now being courted by top brands, I had to exude confidence and style. And I shared her vision. “Too stunned to speak?” Candice teased, grinning as she watched me through the mirror.I let out a soft laugh. “It’s perfect. Thank you.”“Alright then.” Candice said, tidying up her vanity table which was cluttered with makeup and brushes. “Ethan’s waiting outside. He can get really cranky when we’re late.”I stoo

The Devil’s True Face

Sienna’s POVCandice stormed across the room, and before I could blink, her hand lashed out, delivering a stinging slap across Sabrina’s face. The impact sent Sabrina staggering backward, forcing her to grab the edge of the sink to steady herself.I froze, watching the scene unfold in disbelief. Ever since Candice had mistaken me for Sabrina and attacked me that day, I had known there was some bad blood between them. But this? This was on another level. For the first time, I might finally understand what had fueled their hatred.“For three years, I’ve been waiting for this moment.” Candice hissed with blazing eyes as Sabrina slowly straightened herself, her hand pressing against her reddened cheek. Her perfectly styled hair was now slightly disheveled, and a small cut on her lip trickled crimson. But if she felt any pain, she didn’t show it. Instead, she smirked. “Long time, no see, Candice.” She said coolly. “I thought you had left the city for good.”“I thought so too.” Candice

The Strange Woman

Roman’s POV“Roman, please! Listen to me!" Sabrina cried, chasing after me as I stormed into the house. All thanks to her, I couldn’t even focus, let alone enjoy my own company’s campaign launch event. And so, as soon as it was over, I had driven straight home. But she still wouldn’t get off my back. “Listen to me already, please!” She begged, grabbing my arm to stop me from walking further.Unable to hold back my anger anymore. I spun around immediately, glaring at her with my nose flaring with rage. The fury in my eyes must have been enough because she took a step back.Good for her.“What could you possibly have to say to me now?” I hissed, my voice low but dripping with so much rage. “What more lies are you going to tell me?”I took a step closer and she backed away, her eyes wide with tears. Fake tears.“You told me and everyone else, that Sienna was the villain. That she hated you, that she tried to take everything from you!” My fists clenched tightly in an effort to control my

Making Peace

Candice’s POVTWO DAYS LATERI rang the doorbell and waited, clutching my purse and shifting nervously on my feet. I wasn’t sure how to face Sienna after everything that had happened. She hadn’t answered any of my calls or replied to my messages. Guilt had been eating me alive, and it took everything I had to summon the courage to come here.When the door finally opened, my heart skipped a beat as Sienna’s frame greeted me. She stood in the doorway, a mixture of slight surprise and exhaustion on her face. She looked somehow frail. Her shoulders were slumped and her eyes were puffy and red as if she had been crying. Seeing her like this made the guilt in me even worse, and for the millionth time, I hated myself for ever being involved with Sabrina.“Candice?” She said, a faint frown creasing her forehead. “What are you doing here?”I tried to smile, even though my throat tightened with the threat of tears. “You weren’t answering your calls or messages, and you’ve been out on sick l

A Meeting at the Cafe

Sienna’s POV“Thank you.” I said to the server as she placed my coffee on the table.“You’re welcome.” She replied with a polite smile before walking away.Once she was gone, I took a small sip of the coffee and turned my gaze to the city outside the glass wall.After Candice had left, I had reached out to Ethan, telling him that if he wasn’t so occupied, I would like to meet up with him. And so, we had agreed to meet in this cafe. Since there was still about an hour left before Livvy’s school closed, I thought it was a perfect timing.After seeing the state that Candice was in earlier, I couldn’t stop worrying. She needed Ethan now more than ever and this was the worst time to give her the cold shoulders.For starters, I was the one who pushed her to take responsibility for her mistakes. So, the least I could do was help her out of this.As for me? I knew I would heal eventually. I always did, no matter how many times Sabrina hurt me.I glanced at the clock on my phone and took anoth

The Games we Play

Julian’s POVCandice pulled away from the kiss after what felt like an eternity. She stared at me with a look of uncertainty in those beautiful ocean blue eyes that I had missed so much. “Why… why are you here?” She asked me and I scoffed bitterly, stepping back as frustration seeped inside me. Running a hand through my hair, I let out a humorless laugh.“What am I doing here?” I echoed her question, my voice thick with anger. “You’re asking me that? After you ran away like a fucking coward? After you came back to the city and didn’t even bother to let me know you were here?”“I’m… I’m sorry.” She stammered, her voice trembling as she took a small step back, shrinking under the weight of my anger.I started pacing her apartment, blowing out a shaky breath as I ran both hands over my head, trying to calm the storm inside me. But it was impossible.For years, I had hated every single day without her. Hated myself for being unable to stop what had happened. Hated Sabrina for starting i
