Sienna PovI walked in with a very timid composure as everyone stared at us. It was already much discomfort it brought but still they kept pointing at my exposed yet tight fitting. I knew just exactly might be running their mind and I gritted my teeth almost cursing Julian to jail for letting a simple dress misrepresent me in the public. With every step we took,my inner self screamed at me to yank his grip off my arm as both were interlocked. I hissed, frustration in my mind as I raised an eyebrow at a bulky guy who came for a handshake. Julian tapped me by the waist as if commanding I accord the man. With much disdain, I shrugged left with no choice than to obey,“hi.” I muttered, swallowing the lump in my throat,“Mr Philip. It’s a pleasure meeting you at the charity gala.” I smirked, not at his gestures to the man but the pretense he built in an instant, his usually cold face was replaced with a wide grin one would mistake for a smile. The other reciprocated in the gesture and lef

FOR THE LIFE INSIDE ME.SIENNA'S POV.I had not only gotten sexed with away from desire but his words stung me. I took the rough sheets where he had just made out with me and brought them to my nose. Not to sniff on them like lust or any, but the smell made my heart clench, tears welled up in my eyes threatening to fall and although I forced them not to, they did. I couldn't help it, I could not have. The room went silence once Julian slammed the door shut behind him, and all that hung on was not just eerie silence but cries. He stormed out of the bedroom not looking back or stopped once, and I sat, muffling off cries. Not just cause he raped me, but my baby was uncomfortable. Every thrust he gave, it was as though my womb shifted and that made me cry loud but what could I say?That I was pregnant and didn't know who the father of the child was. I wailed, tears gathering up in my eyes as if the eyeballs would fall to the ground. 'My child must think I'm already a bad mother.' I let

MY LITTLE SECRET. SIENNA'S POV. Since the night Dominic stepped in, I never laid my eyes on Julian. He never came home except on nights and that baffled me just because he would always come home drunk. I couldn't approach Dominic because of our encounter, but tonight, while I paced the room, I made up my mind to meet up with him. After all, Julian was my husband and it never mattered the circumstances. “Huh.. I'm sorry to bother you. Is anything going on at work? My husband hasn't been taking my calls and when he comes home I don't even see him till dawn after he comes back late at night.“ I muttered in a soft, breaking tone. I was about to tear up but I guided it as it was all the pregnancy emotions and hormones that portrayed me this week. Dominic burst into a rail of dry laughter, I could hear it — scornful, I could feel it, hysteric and sarcastic. He teared off in laughter again. “Husband?“ This wasn't a question but a tease that struck my nerves ; even hard. I ignored his

SUSPICIONS. JULIAN'S POVThe week has gone with meetings upon meetings, calls for clarity, teaming up with employees and even holding board meetings too consistently, both impromptu and planned. And now just this board meeting was already a disaster. There was no trust or even patience. The company was already losing funds as payment for researches and even the shady deal signed got their way to exhorting the company's recent gains. Numbers didn't lie, the report showed clearly the company was bleeding money from every corner that I knew and did not as presented by the financial team. I clenched my fist to my side, jaw tight in frustration as I stepped into the quiet street with gaze darkened except from the sky outside that was painted with already fading purple but it did nothing. It was still what it was. I was losing the company. The whispers from the board room replayed in my mind, the hints of sarcasm in that voice, their almost void emotion that were so taunting on its own

WHEN THE GAME JUST BEGINS.SIENNA'S POV.I heaved a sigh as my mind drifted to the mission in front of me. This one that glared at me and needed to be done in the next few minutes. I trembled, knee cracking as if wanting to put me to the ground.I left the building's entrance and walked in, dressed in corporate suits with files clutched to my arm as I held onto the duplicate device inside my coat pocket. My mind races in an uneven breath that I feared…What if someone could tell I was not a worker here?I ignored the voice in my head, this was a company that could not differentiate its clients from workers if not with uniform and here I was, in their Tuesday red coat. As I walked through the building's hallway, I heard footsteps approaching me, I paused in my tracks and the latter did the same.Has someone suspected me? I turned back searching for whoever was behind me but I couldn't find anyone. Maybe I was just being paranoid but then I could not wave off the feeling I was being
