AUTHOR'S POV
Sia turned around in the bed, her eyes opening. She did not know when she fell asleep and woke up just now. Yawning, she focused on the figure laying just beside her with his arm draped over her waist protectively. Her hand reached out to brush off his bangs away from his eyes with her fingers gently as he sighed in his sleep.An unconscious smile was tugged up at the corners of Sia's lips. Her thumb slowly drew circles on his cheek with her eyes taking in the sight before her.She had never thought that it was possible for Hardin to love her. It all felt like a lie at first but the sincerity in his eyes and the determination in his voice drove all fear away. Now there was only him and there was only her. Nothing else mattered.Atleast she could try thinking like that but she still had a hard time adjusting to this new thing. She pushed herself off the bed as she grabbed her clothes to wear them.AUTHOR'S POV When she opened her eyes and found him on his knees in front of her with a ring box opened in front of him, all fear got replaced with awe and raw shock. It was like she would never be able to breath again. “ So? Will you marry me Sia Hardin Black? Once Again? ” He smiled nervously as he proposed to her. Sia's hands shot up to her mouth to cover it as a gasp left her lips. Tears started streaming down her red cheeks. “ I wanted to prepare a grand proposal event something but I think this is the right time for this. ” He shrugged his right shoulder as he stared in his teary eyes hopefully. His heart was beating in his ears like a drum. This was the second time in his whole life that he was so nervous. Truly scared yet hopeful at the same time. “ I think this is the best time because there is only you and me. You need me and I want to be there for you whe
AUTHOR'S POV “ We are going to marry next week. ” Hardin dropped the bomb on her and Sia's jaw hanged low in shock. Now, this was what they called going overboard with everything. Sia thought and whipped her head around to argue with him again when his hands made their way to her sides for the second time. “ Hardin Please. Listen to me. ” Sia placed her hands on his wet chest and sighed. Hardin's hands paused, his eyes assessing her expressions. “ I am listening. ” He smiled, pushing Sia's hair behind her ear softly. Sia heaved a heavy breath not knowing what to say to him. She did not know why she still felt so scared of everything. “ Don't you want to be with me? Don't you want everyone to know that we are married? ” Hardin whispered, his eyes noticing her expressions that changed to one of horror. “ No. No. It's nothing like th

~BACK TO PRESENTAUTHOR'S POVSia looked at her reflection in the elevator's door. She was wearing a simple black gown with matching black heals. In the name of jewelery, she was only wearing expensive black diamond earings and her usual black expensive watch.Her hairs were set in a ponytail and she was looking as etheral and perfect as she always did with her usual calm and composed demeanor.Her gaze shifted to Louis who was clearly scowling waiting patiently for her to say something. She was thinking of not answering him at all but then she decided to assure Louis as she was afraid his hairs are going to be grey soon with worrying so much,"It's alright Louis!... He is not going to do anything much....You don't need to worry... Take a break or your hairs are going to be grey soon". She tightened her ponytail while still looking at her reflection.
AUTHOR'S POVJust as Sia asked the question everyone was wondering about, while trying to hide her smirk, all the attention went towards George. It was clear that he was furious and he was having a hard time controlling himself. Everyone was still waiting for an answer hesitantly. George looked at all the people around the room understanding that he shouldn't do anything here, as he wanted to preserve his reputation. He understood already that an outburst was what Sia wanted from him. People like him , who were monsters behind closed doors, always wanted to pretend to be saints in front of people.He cleared his throat and tried to look composed, "Last night at the party someone attacked me when I was looking for restroom". George said trying to dismiss this converstaion clearly lying about him trying to find restroom. It was fascinating to Sia how people like George could lie looking directly in someone's e
AUTHOR'S POVLouis after hearing what Jack said, looked at Sia giving her the look she was all familiar with. Then he pushed past Jack not forgetting to bump his shoulder and went out of her office.Sia looked Jack for a while noticing his eyes that never wavered from her's even once and sighed, "Let's go" Sia gestured through her hand.Jack got out of the way and stood at the side. Sia knowing that he will walk behind her as always stepped forth going towards the elevator. She stepped inside the elevator and Jack came shortly after. He pressed the Top button on the elevator, as they were going to the terace.Jack was looking at Sia from the corner of his eyes, noticing that she was lost in her thoughts.She was thinking about all the possible reasons that made him call her, but she couldn't think of anything specific.The elevator dinged and Jack stepped out, snapping Si
AUTHOR'S POVShe was really staring at him looking like a statue, frozen in time. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked up at him after shaking her head."I was not staring at you.... I was just lost in my own thoughts". Sia looked away not wanting to look at him anymore. But Hardin's eyes were fixed on her while slowly drinking his wine, taking in her nervous posture. The way her breath was shaky. The way she didn't know where to keep her hands. He smirked taking another sip. It was amusing to him.Sia was nervous, feeling Hardin's unwavering gaze on her. He was the only man capable of making her nervous, but she didn't know why she felt like this around him. Maybe because he was the only person who was able to look right through her, maybe because he was the person who knew her the best or maybe because she knew what he was truly capable of.... destruction".

SIA'S POV:Awestruck would be an uderstatemnet if I say that's what I felt after seeing the dress. To say that it was the most beautiful and elegant black dress I have ever seen in my life, would be least of the praise. I also took notice that black was my only favourite colour. After trying my hardest to look away from the dress, I noticed the makeup artist standing by front of the dressing mirror. I looked at her and she greeted me quite enthusiastically, " Miss Sia! It's so nice to see you in person.... I am Natalia your makeup artist for today. If you hurry up and wear the dress, I will get your makeup and hair finished within time" She was talking like a robot and smiling at me.Ugh! She is too cheesy! I thought, grabbed the dress and went towards the dressing room ignoring her all the way. When I turned around to close the dressing room's door behind me, I saw her coming inside as well. She was so annoying. I almost wanted to ask h
