“I had planned so much. If only we didn’t need to return so soon,” said Lucas with disappointment as they walked out of the house. Mrs. Stone saw them off while Ben loaded their bags onto the limousine.
“It’s okay,” said Sienna, wondering what he had planned. Lucas noted the disappointment in her tone and it touched his heart. He had wanted to make her happy. He had wanted to plan a perfect date with her here.
“Next time, I promise,” he said solemnly, sitting beside her in the limousine. They drove off and this time, Sienna sat against him, her head resting on his chest.
“I’ll rejoin work tomorrow. I had a word with nurse Harvey,” she informed him.
“Hmm, forward me your duty s
The next morning Sienna woke up a little late. Taking a quick shower, she remembered that she had to rejoin duty today. It was already 7 o’clock and there was just time to grab some milk and cereal before dashing off. She wondered what Lucas was up to. Opening her door she walked out of her room. The whole house seemed eerily quiet. Where was Lucas? He never stayed in bed this long? She went to the kitchen and noticed that it was in the exact condition as she had left it last night. It meant that Lucas hadn’t even entered it to make himself coffee.A feeling of dread clutched at her heart and she rushed towards Lucas’s room. Had he left for Washington DC already? She opened the door and saw that his room was perfectly arranged but there was no Lucas there. Sienna felt close to tears. He hadn’t thought it necessary to even say goodbye to her? What would she do now? She didn&rsq
Curiosity got the better of her and she couldn’t wait to call her friends. “Take me to West Village, Ben,” said Sienna, deciding to meet Skylar and ask her what was going on. It was closer to her home and if Roman wasn’t around, she could just drop in at her house and pack the rest of the stuff there. She had left in a hurry and there were more clothes and accessories which she hadn’t touched for months!Ben drove her to the address that she gave him and dropped her at the palatial mansion where Skylar lived with her grandparents. There was a time when the whole lot of them used to spend the night over at her house. Those were the best days of her life. Her dad was alive and healthy and would come over to pick her up in the morning many times. She rang the doorbell and waited for Skylar's housekeeper to open it. The house however looked eerily quiet as if no one was livi
Roman scowled at her, standing up, looking furious. “Are you trying to threaten me?” He fumed. Sienna glanced at him warily.“No, I’m just telling you my plans. Are you feeling threatened?” She asked.Roman sat down seeing that she wasn’t at all affected by his demeanor. “Why should I feel threatened? You’re the one who should feel that way. The last few months, I have invested repeatedly to save this dying company but it’s of no use. There is no other way than to sell it off,” He said with a poker expression on his face. Sienna gaped at him with shock. So Jenny was right after all. He was planning to sell off her dad’s business without consulting her.“You should have consulted me before making this decision, Roman? When dad was ali
“I don’t believe this!” said Eva, opening her handbag and taking out a newspaper. “Check the gossip column,” she told her. Sienna took the paper from her hands and opened the gossip column. Eva pointed at an article at the bottom of the page. Sienna froze, horrified at what she saw. There was a picture of her and Lucas, kissing on the shores of Mirror Lake! The caption read,The elusive Lucas Donnelly packs on the PDA during a low-key holiday with a bombshell! Has he moved on?Sienna’s mouth hung open and no words came out of it. When was this picture taken? She and Lucas had no idea about it. Or did Lucas know about this? Was this the reason why he left New York all of a sudden? Suddenly, her heart sank at the thought.“There’s more. Search for Celebrity News
Sienna stood transfixed to the spot. Should she leave but what if these two were fraud people? “I don’t believe you. I’m not going anywhere till Lucas returns,” said Sienna. The woman laughed tauntingly. She took out an identity card as well as a marriage certificate from her handbag and flashed it in front of her. Sienna gaped at the marriage certificate. She was indeed Lucas’s wife, that she was certain of. Then the woman took out her mobile and scrolled through the numbers.“I’m calling the cops if you don’t vacate this apartment in the next fifteen minutes,” she threatened menacingly. Sienna didn’t have time to think. She ran to her bedroom to pack up. Her heart was shattered into a million pieces knowing that Lucas was married and a father as well. Why didn’t he ever tell her? Why did he use her? She somehow dumped her stuff as qu
She wrote in her resignation letter the exact cause that was compelling her to resign. Bullying! She named the nurses who directly bullied her as well as the treatment that she’d been receiving from the others. She sent the mail to the authorities, to multiple people so that some action is taken against them. Later she rested her tired head and fell asleep. The sound of the doorbell woke her up and she went to open the door. It was Mrs. Smith, carrying lots of essentials in her hands.“You would need these if you’re planning to stay here for at least a week,” said Mrs. Smith, coming inside with the stuff.“Thank you, Nana. I definitely would stay here as long as I’m alive. Where else would I go?” she said, giving her a sad smile.“Oh, you never know, dear.
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
