Chapter Thirty-one : Colliding Hearts

Sienna stood by the window of Damian’s penthouse, her eyes fixed on the city lights far below. They twinkled like stars—beautiful, distant, and cold. Her heart felt just as far away. She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to stay grounded, but the past few days had blurred into a haze of tension and unspoken emotions.She wasn’t sure what surprised her more: how natural it had begun to feel having Damian in Julian’s life… or how dangerous it was becoming to let herself believe he could be in hers again.The sound of the door unlocking pulled her from her thoughts. Damian entered, loosening his tie, his dark blue suit perfectly tailored to his powerful frame. His gaze found her immediately, those piercing blue eyes softening—just barely.“You’re still awake,” he said quietly.“I couldn’t sleep,” Sienna replied, turning back to the window. “Julian’s been restless.”Damian stepped closer but kept his distance. “He’ll adjust. It’s a big change.”She sighed. “For all of us.”A beat of

Chapter Thirty-two: Shadows of the past

The morning sun streamed through the wide windows, golden and warm, but Sienna felt none of its comfort. She sat at the breakfast nook of Damian’s penthouse, watching Julian spoon cereal into his mouth while humming softly to himself. His innocence was disarming. In this moment, he was just a boy enjoying his breakfast, completely unaware of the tangled emotions threading the air between his parents.Damian sat across the room, phone pressed to his ear, voice low and clipped. Sienna couldn’t make out the words, but his expression was unreadable—mask firmly in place. Business as usual. But after last night, she knew something had shifted.Ava. Her name alone left a bitter taste in Sienna’s mouth.“You okay, Mama?” Julian’s soft voice pulled her back.She smiled at him, though it took effort. “I’m fine, sweetheart. Eat up.”He nodded happily, swinging his legs under the chair as he focused on his cereal again.Damian ended his call, slipping the phone into his pocket as he approached th

Chapter Thirty-three : The Safehouse

The winding road to the safehouse was quiet, lined with tall evergreens that seemed to swallow the sky. Sienna stared out the window, watching as the world grew more remote, more distant from the life she knew. Julian sat beside her in his car seat, chattering happily to one of his stuffed animals, oblivious to the storm brewing outside their little world.“Are we going on vacation, Mommy?” Julian asked, swinging his legs.Sienna forced a smile. “Something like that, sweetheart.”He grinned, accepting the answer easily. Children were so trusting. She envied that.The SUV finally slowed in front of a large, secluded cabin nestled at the edge of a forest clearing. It was beautiful in an isolated sort of way. Tall windows. Stone and wood façade. Safe… hopefully.Damian’s lead security officer, a broad-shouldered man named Cole, climbed out of the front passenger seat and scanned the perimeter before opening her door.“We’re clear,” he said. “Let’s get you inside.”Sienna took Julian’s ha

Chapter Thirty-four: Unwelcome Visitors

Sienna barely slept that night. Every creak of the wooden cabin sounded like a threat. Every gust of wind scraping against the windows made her heart race. She sat in the living room with a blanket draped over her shoulders, staring at the fireplace long after the flames had died down.Morning sunlight filtered through the tall windows, but it did little to warm her nerves.Julian was up early, his energy boundless. He tugged at her hand as she sat sipping coffee, her mind still replaying last night’s news leak.“Mommy, can we go outside again?” he asked, wide-eyed and hopeful.She forced a smile. “Just for a little while, baby.”Cole was already posted at the back door when they stepped out. His sharp gaze swept the perimeter. He gave her a short nod—everything seemed clear. For now.Julian ran toward the clearing again, plopping down in the tall grass, collecting more wildflowers. His humming drifted back to Sienna, a sweet, familiar sound that calmed her, if only briefly.She stood

Chapter Thirty-five: Limes That Can Be Crossed

Sienna pressed Julian tightly against her chest, his small arms wrapping instinctively around her neck. His soft breathing was steady, but his grip tightened as the distant sounds outside grew louder.She could barely hear Damian’s voice through the window, barking orders into his comms, his tone sharp and commanding. The faint glow of flashlights still bobbed beyond the trees, moving closer, like predators circling prey.The house, once a sanctuary, now felt exposed.Cole’s second-in-command, Harris, appeared in the doorway. “Ma’am, we need to get you to the panic room.”Panic room. The words sounded like something out of one of Damian’s high-profile security files, not her life.“Is that really necessary?” she asked, swallowing her fear.“It’s protocol,” Harris said briskly, already moving toward the hallway. “This wasn’t a random trespasser. Whoever’s out there came with a purpose.”Sienna’s legs felt heavy as she followed him, Julian clinging to her silently. Harris led them throu

Chapter Thirty-six: Under Siege

The black card with its ominous message lay heavy in Sienna’s trembling hands. "You can’t protect them forever."The weight of those words settled in her chest, suffocating. She forced herself to take a breath as Damian’s hand closed firmly over hers, steadying her.“We need to get you and Julian out of here,” he said quietly, but there was a dangerous edge beneath his calm.“Where?” she whispered. “They found us here. What’s stopping them from finding us again?”Damian’s jaw clenched, the muscle ticking in frustration. “We go off the grid. Completely.”Harris stepped forward, his expression grim. “There’s a safe house in Northern Italy. Remote. Secure.”Sienna shook her head, her pulse pounding in her ears. “Running won’t fix this.”“It’ll keep Julian safe,” Damian snapped, his voice sharp. “And that’s the only thing that matters.”She flinched but didn’t argue. He was right. Julian’s safety came first.“I’ll pack,” she said quietly.Damian nodded once, then turned back to Harris.

Chapter Thirty-seven: Fractured Trust

The safe house was nothing like Sienna expected. A stone villa nestled high in the Italian Alps, surrounded by pine trees and silence. It should have felt peaceful. But it didn’t.Not with armed guards at every entrance. Not with Julian jumping at every noise. And certainly not with Damian pacing the living room like a caged animal.Sienna stood at the window, staring out over the dark mountains, arms crossed tight over her chest. “We can’t live like this,” she said softly.Damian turned, his blue eyes sharp. “We won’t. This is temporary.”“You said that the last time,” she murmured, not looking at him. “And now we’re hiding in the middle of nowhere with our son scared out of his mind.”His jaw clenched. “It’s better than the alternative.”Sienna spun around, anger flaring in her chest. “Which is what? Running forever? Waiting for someone to take another shot at us?”Damian crossed the room in three strides, closing the space between them. His hands came up, gripping her arms, b

Chapter Thirty-eight: The Breaking Point

The sharp crack of a gunshot echoed in Sienna's ears, followed by Damian’s weight crashing into her, knocking the air from her lungs. She hit the ground hard, Julian tucked tightly against her chest, his small arms clinging to her neck.“Stay down!” Damian barked, shielding them with his body.She could barely think, adrenaline pumping through her veins, her pulse pounding in her ears. Another shot rang out, splintering the stone pillar inches from where she lay.Damian rolled to the side and fired back. Two quick shots. A grunt. Then silence.Sienna’s breath came in ragged gasps. Julian was crying softly against her chest, and she whispered into his ear, “It’s okay. I’ve got you. I’m here.”Damian pushed himself up, scanning the shadows with ruthless efficiency. Harris and two guards stormed past them, weapons raised.“We’re clear!” one of them shouted a minute later.Damian turned back, his face pale but tight with control. He reached for Sienna and Julian, his hand shaking slight

Chapter Thirty-nine: Fractures in the Fortress

The rain battered against the bulletproof windows of the safe house as if the storm itself was trying to force its way in. Sienna stood at the window, arms wrapped tightly around herself, watching the dark sky crack with lightning. Every flash illuminated the sharp angles of Damian’s fortified estate—cold, remote, and far from the life she once knew.And yet, it was the only place where Julian was safe.“You should get some sleep,” Damian said from behind her, his voice low but insistent.She didn’t turn around. “I can’t.”“I know,” he admitted quietly.For a moment, neither of them spoke. It was as if they both understood sleep was an illusion they couldn’t afford anymore.Sienna finally turned to face him. “How long are we going to hide here?”Damian’s jaw flexed. “Until I’m sure she can’t get to us again.”“Ava won’t stop,” Sienna said, her voice sharp with frustration. “You saw what she’s capable of.”His eyes darkened. “Which is why I’m handling it.”“You said that already.” Sien

Chapter 40: The Turning Point

The house was quiet. Too quiet.Sienna stood in the doorway of Julian’s room, watching him sleep. His small hand was curled around the stuffed bear Damian had given him that afternoon. He looked peaceful now, as if the fear and uncertainty of the past few weeks had finally lifted.She wished she could say the same for herself.“You should try to sleep too.”Damian’s voice broke the silence behind her. She turned to see him leaning against the doorframe, his tie loose, the first few buttons of his shirt undone. He looked tired, but there was something softer in his expression. Something she hadn’t seen in a long time.“I can’t,” she admitted quietly. “It’s like my body forgot how.”He gave a faint nod, pushing off the frame and stepping closer. “I know the feeling.”For a moment, neither of them spoke. The silence stretched, heavy with words unspoken. Sienna finally tore her gaze from Julian and walked past Damian into the hallway. He followed.They ended up in the sitting room, where
