The next day Sienna had just finished her breakfast when Roman arrived early to collect the signed agreement. “Have you signed it?” He asked hopefully.
“Yes,” said Sienna, handing him the papers. Roman checked them and looked quite pleased. He took out a bunch of papers and handed them to her.
“This is the proof of the amount that I have invested in this company. You can sum it all up and figure out how much you need to pay me,” said Roman.
Sienna took the papers and glanced through them. “I’ll consult a lawyer first,” she told him. Roman shrugged. “Do what you want. Here are the keys to the office, to my desk and to everything else. Figure it out on your own just like I had. I’ll see you after a month. I’m leaving for Chicago tonight,&rdq
Thankfully Mary Jane Davis was available and willing to rejoin her old work at Accord Bioscience. Sienna immediately summoned her to the office and then started thinking how she would throw Bettie Kingston out without causing a headache. She summoned her immediately to ask for an update on the meeting that she had called. It’s supposed to start in the next fifteen minutes and she had no update on what was going on!Bettie Kingston grimaced and walked towards her new boss's office. She hated this job now that Roman wasn’t there. With him, it was less work and more fun as he was a passionate and demanding man always ready to do the dirty deed! If he hadn’t requested her to stay back and report everything that Sienna Hensley did, she would have resigned already.The moment she entered the office, Sienna asked her about the meeting. “H
Just as planned, Sienna was extremely focused on the job at hand for the next few days. Roman had dissolved the Research Team that her dad had chosen and therefore she needed to summon them back. The research was a part and parcel of a pharmaceutical company contrary to Roman's thinking. With the old Manufacturing Team back, her only concern now was the Finance Department Head. She appointed a new Finance Department Head as their old trusted employee, James Price wasn’t available. However, Mr. Price was willing to help her out by giving her consultation if she needed it. Sienna agreed and invited him to the office over the weekend. With constant monitoring, Sienna was able to chalk out a plan of action to save the company, and the next few days she dedicatedly worked towards that goal.Ben on the other hand was very worried to hear from the guard the next day about Kim’s arrival and Sienn
Lucas wasted no time after gaining custody of his daughter. He took the first available flight after completing all the formalities. When they reached New York, it was well past dinnertime. Lucas took Alexia straight to his granny’s house. Everyone was overwhelmed to see her after so many years. Alexia in fact looked the happiest. Lucas spent the night with her in his old, childhood room.The next day was a Saturday and Sienna rushed to her office. She had summoned James Price to discuss Roman’s documents as well as the company’s financial conditions. It had been a very busy week for her but she knew she had to figure this out on her own. She sat sipping coffee and flicked through the newspaper while waiting for James Price. It was then that her glance fell upon an article in the gossip column. A picture of Lucas hugging a little girl caught her eye. Lucas looked so happy as if he h
Lucas drove to the address that Eva sent him. He saw the huge mansion that seemed to have seen better days. The entire place looked neglected and ill-maintained. He parked his car and got down, walking up towards the heavy iron gate. There were no security guards to open the door. He opened the gate and walked in, shaking his head at Sienna’s negligence. She should have locked the gate if she were living alone in such a huge place.He walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell. Strangely no one opened the door. He rang the doorbell again and waited. What was going on? Wasn’t Sienna there at home? He waited for a few more minutes and then decided to take a stroll around the house to see if he could find Sienna at any window. Walking around, he saw the sprawling, ill-kept backyard. The sound of a splash made him go further down to get a full view of the huge swimming pool. Then he sa
Sienna couldn’t concentrate on anything for the rest of the day. Lucas’s expression, his words, his kiss, his hot body, everything kept on floating in her head and she simply gave up working and lay back on the sofa, closing her eyes. Along with his thoughts came back the hurt that she had gone through. No, she wouldn’t give in. She wouldn’t be his wh*re. Surely she had misheard his declaration of love. How could someone so famous, so handsome and so much beyond her league, love her, a simple nurse?The next day she had a meeting and consultation with James Price as well as her Finance team. Getting ready, she dashed out of the house, locking the door securely. Just as she turned to go to the garage, her eyes popped out seeing Lucas climbing out of his car. What was he doing here so early in the morning?“What are you doing h
After an hour of discussions, they wrapped up the meeting. Everyone left the office but Lucas didn’t budge an inch, sitting at his seat and watching her with hooded eyes.“How did you find my office?” She asked him with curiosity. Lucas smiled his skew little smile and yet didn’t look away.“I have my ways, Sienna. I told you that I’ll pursue you till you give in to me again,” he said emphasizing the word ‘again'.“It’s useless, Lucas. Why are you so adamant about pursuing me? I have my neck-deep in this mess. I really don’t have the mental condition to talk about all this,” she told him with a serious look on her face.“Let me get you out of this mess, Sienna. Please,” he begged he
Before Lucas could ask for her forgiveness, their food arrived. The delicious aroma made her stomach grumble with hunger. “Looks delicious!” Said Sienna excitedly attacking the tuna melts first. Lucas watched her with interest as he ate his sliders.“Do you want a taste?” She asked excitedly. Lucas would have been aghast at the idea usually. He hated sharing at restaurants. It looked so cheap and low class! However, he was eager to share with Sienna. He had no idea why.“Sure, open up,” he said, feeding her some of his food. Sienna closed her eyes and chewed. A soft sigh of pleasure escaped her.“Even dad used to share it with me,” she pointed out.“Hmm, but I’m not your dad,” said Lucas with a small
The invitation was enough for Lucas to lose the last thread of control that was keeping him intact till now. His arms snaked around her and he pulled her closer, his mouth inches away from hers. “What are you offering me?” He whispered.“My soul, my heart, my love,” she answered, making his eyes glitter devilishly.“Tell me more,” he prompted her, his hot breath fanning her face.“I love you, Lucas,” she whispered, closing her eyes and waiting for him to claim her completely. Lucas closed the rest of the space between them and claimed her lips in a hungry and intense kiss. Sienna tightened her hold around his shoulders, her fingers caressing the soft hair at the nape of his neck. Lucas’s hand tangled into her hair, steadying her head to dominate the k
