Daniel and Sienna were like any other couple deeply in love. They enjoyed every moment of their romance. They loved heading into the city for leisurely walks, movie dates, dining out, and taking countless photos. They liked sharing drinks, wearing matching outfits, and enjoying the excitement of amusement park rides.Daniel was always attentive to Sienna's wishes. He was quick to buy her anything she fancied without a second thought. Besides, he was always punctual for every date and never failed to show up.He poured his love and sincerity onto Sienna without reservation. He always wore his heart on his sleeve for her to see.Whenever Sienna wore slightly revealing dresses for their outings, Daniel would quickly buy her a light jacket from nearby stores.Sienna would playfully tease him about being old-fashioned and a bit controlling, but Daniel would openly explain, "It's not about restricting your choice of clothing. It's just that when you wear revealing clothes, especially w
Shelly glared at Sienna and snapped, "Are you dating someone?"Sienna nervously gripped the hem of her clothes."He's from Phoenicia and works as an anti-drug officer?" Shelly asked."Mom, I—"Shelly exploded with frustration, slamming the calculator in her hand onto the ground with a loud crash. The floor was now scattered with shattered pieces of the calculator.Sienna stood frozen in fear, and Jane hurried in from outside. She pulled Sienna back and said anxiously, "Mrs. Lawson, let's talk calmly.""What did I say? Have you forgotten everything?" Shelly demanded.Sienna lowered her head, breathing heavily. Her heart hurt, and tears welled in her eyes. She replied sadly, "I haven't.""Then you have to end things with him right now," Shelly ordered.She stood with her hands on her hips, gritting her teeth. "Now I understand why you've been behaving strangely lately, being out all day and sometimes not coming home until late at night."How dare you, Sienna? You could've kept
Sienna and Jane rode together on the electric scooter, feeling the gentle breeze brushing against them.Sitting behind Jane, Sienna wore a heavy expression. Her eyes still showed traces of tears as she gazed at the passing scenery.With a sigh of resignation, Jane asked, "Sienna, are you going to break up with Captain Morrison?"Sienna leaned wearily against Jane's back. She closed her eyes and replied despondently, "I don't want to break up with him.""Your mom is being so stubborn. Are you going to prioritize your relationship over your family?" Jane asked further."No, I can't sacrifice my family for love. I'll figure out a way to make my mom accept him.""Maybe you should talk to Captain Morrison about this. Dealing with it together could be better than facing it alone," Jane suggested."He's swamped with work. Besides, what good would burdening him with this do? It'll only add to his stress and affect his job." Sienna sighed.She didn't want Daniel to feel as down as she d
Daniel sat in the passenger seat and sent Sienna a message.Her phone buzzed, and she pulled it out to read. "Sisi, are you here to see the celebrities with your friend?"Sienna texted back, "Jane convinced me to come along. I didn't expect to run into you."Daniel: "I'll be buried in work for the next few days. I won't have much free time to spend with you."Sienna: "No worries. Work should always come first."Daniel: "I'll make it up to you once things are over."Sienna replied with a smiling emoji and wrote, "Are those people doing something illegal?"Daniel: "Not sure yet. We're bringing them in for questioning."Sienna: "Okay, focus on your work. Stay safe, and don't overwork yourself."Daniel concluded with a kissing emoji. Sienna couldn't help but giggle softly.Jane noticed Sienna's expression and teased, "It's just a few texts, and you're beaming."Sienna quickly composed herself, pocketed her phone, and said, "We're done with the celebrities. Should we head back?"
Sienna was furious when she heard the staggering amount. She turned to Felix, her voice dripping with anger as she demanded, "What in the world happened?"For regular folks like them, two million dollars was already an unimaginable sum. They couldn't even hope to earn it in their lifetime.Tears streamed down Felix's face, his entire body shaking with guilt. In a remorseful tone, he admitted, "Sienna, I had no clue I'd end up owing this much money. I just tagged along with friends for some fun."I thought I'd start with a couple of grand, and I planned to stop once I hit a losing streak. But instead, I just kept winning and winning, raking in piles of cash…"Sienna snorted and taunted, "So, in the end, you didn't expect to blow through all your winnings and then borrow another two million just to lose that too, huh?"Felix nodded, his body shaking with sobs.Sienna clenched her fists, her body quivering with rage. She yearned to knock some sense into Felix. "You fool. It was obvi
Sienna put on a bitter smile. "Sorry, Clement. I already ended things with him."Clement didn't seem surprised. He replied casually, "Well, then you'll need to handle it on your own.""Can you suggest another solution?" Sienna asked calmly.Clement couldn't help but smile, his admiration for Sienna growing. "You're sharp. I'm starting to like you more. Here's the deal: help me with a few tasks, and I'll waive your brother's debt. Plus, I'll give you an extra five million and a villa worth ten million."Sienna's unease deepened, but she tried to mirror Shelly's greedy expression whenever money was involved. Her eyes gleamed, and she parted her lips in exaggerated surprise.Clement was pleased to see her reaction. He reached into a drawer, retrieved a box, and offered it to Sienna. "You don't have to decide right away. Take your time to think about it, and let me know when you've reached a decision. Consider this a gift for our meeting."Sienna accepted the box and lifted its lid
Sienna showed up at Daniel's place unannounced. Despite dating for over two months, this was her first time entering his home. Inside, she found an elegantly simple interior. The living room was big, bright, spotless, and neatly arranged, making it truly welcoming.Sienna opened the shoe cabinet and discovered a brand-new pair of women's slippers waiting for her. It warmed her heart. With a smile, she slipped them on and made her way to the living room.She placed the phone and jewelry box on the coffee table, then settled onto the couch, quietly awaiting Daniel's return from work. As she waited, she mulled over how she would broach the subject with him.After waiting for a while, Sienna decided to start preparing dinner, planning to share a meal with Daniel upon his return. As night descended, she nodded off while scrolling through her phone.…As Daniel's car pulled into the driveway, he was surprised to see the lights on inside the house. After exiting the car, he quietly app
Sienna thought she was usually open-minded, but Daniel had a way of making her feel overwhelmed.She looked down bashfully and muttered, "I'd rather not talk about this anymore."Daniel smiled affectionately at her and gently patted her head. "Have you had dinner?"Sienna glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already after 9:00 pm. She had cooked dinner around 7:00 pm, waiting for him to come home. Unexpectedly, she ended up falling asleep for over two hours.She wasn't feeling hungry anymore."I've lost my appetite," Sienna said as she stood up from his lap and moved to the couch. With a serious expression, she picked up the black box and the phone from the table. "Daniel, we need to talk."Daniel sat up straight, leaning in toward her with a solemn expression.Sienna passed the items to Daniel and explained, "A man named Clement Russo gave me this fancy set of diamond jewelry and a phone as a bribe."Daniel accepted the jewelry box, opened it, and examined the diamonds clo
