Eric I comforted Sienna and climbed onto the bed beside her. "The baby is okay. Everything is fine. Now, calm down," I whispered soothingly into her ear as I pulled her down and into me. I heard her sniffle as she relaxed into me, laying her hand across my chest. "I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't okay, Eric. I really don't know. Because of all the things he did to me, I was hoping that our baby would be okay. I was so scared. I was scared that I was going to lose you and the baby," she said softly. I stroked her head gently as we lay there in silence. I wouldn't have known what I would have done either. She and the baby meant everything to me. They were my family."You are never going to lose me. And our baby too. He or she is strong just like you," I reassured, yawning as I closed my eyes. She hummed and rubbed my chest slowly. "Sleep, Eric. I am right here," she whispered. I felt my eyes drooping and I let them. She was awake and was perfectly safe.***When I w
Eric "What's going on?" Sean asked again. He was clearly getting impatient.Sienna laughed, throwing her head back. It was a peal of real laughter, and I had missed hearing it. I grinned and waited until she stopped. Then she urged me to tell him. "You are going to be an uncle," I told him. For a moment he looked dazed and confused like a lost little dog. His brows crinkled up, and his mouth hung open. "Fuck! And I am the last person to know! I always am. Congratulations, Sienna," he half shouted.He got up and hugged Sienna, and she hugged him back, but she was careful about her arm."Congratulations, brother," he said, smiling at me. I smiled back at him and hugged my little brother. When he sat down, I could see that he was still in shockBut then Sienna frowned. "What is it now?" I asked her. It pained greatly me to see her beautiful face turned up in a frown. Whatever she wanted, I would gladly do it for her. She sighed heavily and brushed her hair from her face. "I just mis
SiennaI had missed Rocco so much. Since he started his new life, I hardly ever saw him. He still lived in Italy but I didn't want to trespass on his happiness. I did miss the bitch, though. I was so happy to see his ugly face. I was sure Eric had called him to come over. He had become such a considerate fucker recently. Did I like it? Fuck, yes. I really did.Maya did accompany Rocco and I didn't mind. She was actually not too bad. I suppose could get used to her. I felt so disappointed with myself because I knew that I should have fought harder. Angelo was such a pathetic piece of shit. I was borderline delirious because of the amount of blood I had lost, but I would never have forgiven myself if something had happened to the baby. I had always told myself that I didn't need anyone's help, and that I had to do everything myself, but it wasn't supposed to be so always.Fuck, Angelo was fucking dead. Eric had made a mistake, but it was one that I understood. Regardless, I still wishe
SiennaEric chuckled and stood up. He looked back at me before leaving. I sighed as I drummed my bare feet against the floor. What could I possibly do now?"Hey, Sienna," Maya said as she walked back inside. She took a seat on the sofa closest to me."What? I thought you were leaving?" I asked her. She nodded and rubbed her ear. "Well, I thought it would be better if I stayed here with you just until they come back.""You do realize that I won't be able to protect you if something happens, right? My leg is fucked up," I said. I quite enjoyed talking to her. She was almost naive. Poor little girl. Maybe I should try harder with her."Rocco has been teaching me how to shoot," she said.I raised a brow and picked up the gun Eric left beside me. He didn't want to leave me unarmed. Fucking hell, at this rate I would just fuck him endlessly. It was such a shame that he left. I felt the cool hardness of the metal against my fingers as I held it out. "Show me." I held the gun out for her an
Sienna "Sienna, are you okay?" Maya asked through the door. I sniffled and rubbed my tears away. "Yes," I lied. "Open the door," she said when she turned the handle and it didn't open. But I made no attempt to open the door. "It's okay, Sienna. What's on your mind?"I blinked slowly. I didn't know. "You will get bored listening to me," I whispered slowly."Tell me," she urged. It was then I realized that I only had a handful of people who would want to bother with me. Who would want to ask what the matter was when something was bothering me. I sighed and wiped my face with a towel. "I don't know if I can do this Maya. I really don't. I am terrified. Angelo could have killed me," I said, leaving out some parts. "But he didn't. Come on, open the door," she replied.I breathed in through my mouth before I opened the door. "You bitch!" I growled when I saw Maya pointing a gun at my face. She had lied to me. She had betrayed me. She didn't care about me. She just wanted to ambush m
SiennaShe didn't say anything in response to my statement so I looked her up and down. "Who are you?" I asked. But she just let out a breathy chuckle, not saying anything in response to my question. I silenced her. "I said who the fuck are you?" I growled. She was such a fucking bitch. If she wanted, to play, I could play. "I am not telling you anything," she rasped. Then she pulled her head back and then forward, spitting at me. The spittle dribbled down my face, so I closed my eyes and held out a hand. The guard passed me a towel and I wiped my face. A lot worse than spit had been thrown on me, though. "Did you want to piss me off by doing that? Because I am definitely pissed off now," I said as I tossed the towel to the tiled floor.I nodded towards the bitch and the guard came forward with a small plier in hand. He clamped it down on one of her nails. I knew that Rocco wouldn't mind if I hurt her. He would never be with her now. The guard ripped her nail off in one slick mot
Sienna "Come home right now!" I yelled into my phone. I had waited for two hours and still, he wasn't home. "What? What's wrong, Sienna!?" Eric asked, and the worry he felt was evident in his words. "Just come home, cretin!" I growled. The idiot was probably going after Angelo. I knew exactly what he was like. More so because I would be pulling the same exact stunt myself. "What's the…" he started to say but I cut him off by ending the call and switching my phone off. That would surely get his attention.Soon enough, he came home. He must have driven really fast because I was impressed at how quickly he arrived. I watched as he entered and quickly scanned the living room, his eyes resting upon me. He walked closer with his brows furrowed. "What's going on?" he asked. I smiled and patted the sofa where I lying. He obliged and took a seat beside me. I cleared my throat and placed my hands across my stomach. "I need your help," I said.He raised a brow and placed his hand on my
SiennaEric carried me all the way upstairs and laid me down on the bed. Fuck, it was nice to have him carry me. I shivered at the thought of me dragging myself up the stairs just like before. "Did you have a bath?" Eric asked from the bathroom. Oh shit, the bath. The one I never took. He popped his head out and looked at me. I rubbed the back of my head before I spoke. "I was going to do that before Maya rudely pointed a gun at my face," I told him."Do you want to have one now?" he asked. I knew he would help me but I was too tired and I didn't want to be a bother. "No, I am tired. You were right." I sighed. He smiled before he headed back into the bathroom. I typed something onto my phone and a minute later, a guard entered the room, dropping some painkillers and a glass of water on the nightstand. I really wished there was something stronger I could take. After taking the pills, I shuffled on the bed and pulled the cover over myself, leaving only my head out. I saw the light
