Anthony and Sienna entered into marriage to fulfill Anthony’s grandfather’s wish, despite Anthony being in love with Rylee. Sienna felt like an outsider in Anthony’s life. While the old man was alive, Anthony maintained a facade of politeness towards Sienna, but after his passing, Sienna’s troubles began.
Realizing that her marriage to Anthony paled in comparison to Rylee’s significance in his life, Sienna decided to seek a divorce, only to discover she was pregnant.
Anthony’s treatment towards her grew even more callous, eventually forcing Sienna out of their home to care for Rylee. Enduring this mistreatment silently, Sienna bore her suffering alone.
With time, Sienna uncovered that Rylee was not as innocent as she had believed, leading her to suspect that the misfortunes she endured were part of a deliberate scheme.
Therefore, I rushed over to Anthony’s side and asked, “What is Dr. Crest’s condition?” “He has been transferred to his ward. As of now, his condition has stabilized, and his life isn’t at stake anymore.” Halfway through his sentence, he cast a skeptical gaze at Jackson. Jackson wasn’t a fool—he could tell that the man…
Joe shut his mouth and glared at me again. Rylee ran over in heels and asked hurriedly, “I just got to know about this. What actually happened?” Joe pulled her aside and told her while consoling her. When she noticed that Anthony and I were seated together, she pouted. Then, she stood at the side…
It was evident that Jackson was telling us the truth as Nick’s left eye was bruised. Macy wanted to probe further for gossip. “Nothing else happened? Both of you slept on one bed and were both drunk!” “I am straight. Stop spouting nonsense!” Nick exclaimed in frustration. Macy sighed at the lack of exciting stories.…
“The day after tomorrow then!” “Great!” I slept surprisingly well that night. When I woke up, Anthony was already off to work. I lazed on the bed and thought of heading back to Glenwood Apartments to retrieve my cellphone. It felt awkward to not have my phone with me. To my wonderment, I saw Macy…
I rolled over in bed when I woke up and immediately saw Anthony staring at me. I was stunned for a moment but I asked, “You’re up?” He raised his eyebrows. “Are you hungry?” I wasn’t since I had just woken up, so I shook my head in response. I adjusted myself a little but…
“Hah!” His voice was low and hoarse, and his words were filled with hostility. “What else are you hiding from me, Sienna?” I became frustrated from the smell of tobacco in the room and I was starting to get a headache from being stared at by him. “What could there possibly be that you don’t…
As he spoke, he got up and dialed the number for the reception to order two bottles of wine. Then he said, “Both of you can’t drink, so you can only watch me drink. I’m not in a great mood. Once you guys leave, I’ll be able to sleep after having some drinks.” I couldn’t…
“Huh?” Jackson stared at the entrance in confusion in the middle of our meal. Macy took one look at him and said blankly, “What is it, monkey? Did you see one of your own kind?” “Shut up if you’ve nothing nice to say,” he huffed. Then, he added while glancing at the entrance, “I saw…
I paused a little before answering him, “I might be going out for a bit. I haven’t managed to spend time with Macy these few days ever since she came back. I’m thinking I should pay her a visit.” I knew that Jackson should have arrived in J City by now. But there was no…
The amusement look on his face disappeared as his brows pinched together in a deep frown again. “Sienna, is divorce such a trivial thing to you?” I lowered my gaze. Trivial? Nothing could ever be trivial when it has something to do with Rylee. He pulled me into the car and started the engine. The…
