Lyra paced nervously in her lavish living room, her hands trembling as the gravity of the situation finally hit her. Her thoughts raced, and she couldn't help but engage in frantic internal dialogue. 'How could I have known that Sienna and Jaxon are cousins? I asked Cyrus to find out everything about the Hamiltons, but he was taken who knows where,' she thought, her heart pounding in her chest. 'The Hamiltons have so much influence and power. What if they trace everything back to me? I thought I covered my tracks well, but was it enough?' As her fear grew, Lyra began to regret ever meddling in Sienna's life. 'I let my emotions control me, and now I'm the one who's going to pay the price. Why didn't I think this through?' She tried to reassure herself. 'No, I was careful. They can't possibly find out it was me. I just need to stay calm and ride this out.' But as the clock ticked away, her doubts continued to haunt her. 'What if my involvement in the scandal becomes public knowledg

Lyra's heart pounded, her emotions a whirlwind of fear and panic at the thought of confronting David amidst the recent revelations.Marjorie, perceiving her daughter's distress, gently clasped Lyra's hand, lending silent solace."Please tell him I'll be down shortly," Lyra uttered, her voice barely audible.The maid acknowledged her and discreetly retreated, leaving Lyra to brace herself for the unavoidable encounter with her fiancé.Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Lyra knew the upcoming conversation with David could potentially decide the fate of their relationship.As she hesitantly stood up, her mother accompanied her, offering a few comforting words."Remember, my daughter, you possess greater strength than you realize. Just remain composed and in control, and you’ll conquer this."With a final nod of resolve, she steeled herself for the impending meeting and descended the stairs to face the man she adored, uncertain of the outcome that lay ahead.She entered the living

For a brief moment, she found herself questioning if she should reveal the truth to them all. But just as quickly as the thought had entered her mind, she pushed it away. Now was not the time, and she needed to be sure that they were all ready for the consequences that would come with the truth.For now, she simply watched as David showered the twins with love and affection, a small smile gracing her lips as the happiness of her children filled the room. The bond between them was undeniable, and it brought a sense of warmth to her heart.Once the twins had finally settled down and drifted off to sleep, Sienna led David out of the room and gently closed the door behind them.As they settled in the living room, Sienna gestured for David to take a seat while she poured them both a glass of wine. The tension in the room was palpable, the unspoken feelings between them adding an extra layer of complexity.Finally, she broke the silence. "So, David, what brings you here so late? What did yo

Back in Sienna's room, their hands found each other once again, the desire and urgency between them growing stronger with each passing second. Their eyes locked, and it was as if time had slowed down, the world outside the room fading away as their connection took center stage.David gently pulled Sienna into his arms, his lips capturing hers in a passionate, fervent kiss.Their earlier tenderness was now replaced with a hunger, an almost desperate need to reclaim what they had lost. Their kisses grew more demanding, their breaths ragged as they devoured each other, their bodies pressed together, leaving no space between them.His hands roamed her body with a newfound boldness, leaving a trail of fire in their wake. Sienna's fingers tangled in his hair, tugging him closer as she returned his touches with equal fervor.They were no longer hesitant or cautious, but rather driven by a primal need to reaffirm their love and desire for one another.Clothes were discarded hastily, the barri

Though she didn't explicitly mention Sienna's real identity, David understood her meaning immediately. Caught off guard by her question, he hesitated before answering."I... I found out recently. I admit, it was quite a shock. I love her, Mrs. Hamilton, and I'm committed to working things out between us."Kate studied him for a moment, as if assessing the sincerity of his words. Finally, she nodded, her expression softening."I can see that you truly care for her. Just remember that trust and honesty are the foundations of any strong relationship. Don't let her down again."She continued, "You know, David, while I didn't appreciate how you divorced my daughter without giving her a chance to prove her innocence or trusting her, I have to admit that the divorce led her to find us, her long-lost family."David felt a pang of guilt in his chest at the reminder of the difficult situation from six years ago."I'm sorry for the pain I caused her, Mrs. Hamilton."Kate nodded, her gaze sympath
