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.
“So what if you’re married to her? You don’t love her. Didn’t you say you love me, Anth? My body is all recovered now. Let’s have another child, okay?” “Rylee…” What came next were the sounds of a man and woman getting intimate with each other. I squeezed my eyes shut and struggled to tune…
He added after a moment, “As for OrbitTech, perhaps Anthony has plans to acquire it. So telling you to keep tabs could be because he wants to find out their potential for future development.” I nodded and took a few sips of the soup. Finding it quite delectable, I looked at him and expressed my…
When I thought about my plans for this period of time, I began to feel conflicted. It would have been so much easier if Anthony remained cold and impassive to me like he always did. However, his attitude toward me had taken a drastic turn recently, causing me to have second thoughts. If I leave…
“Four years ago, I brought Grandpa to the southwest border to meet his old comrade-in-arms. On the road, we ran into a group of outlaws.” As he hugged me and spoke, I could hear the melancholy and sorrow in his voice, surprising me quite a bit. I didn’t know where he was going with this,…
He strode toward me with a displeased look on his face. “Sienna, is this how you were brought up?” I raised my head when he grabbed my wrist, my eyes colliding with his icy ones. As we stared at each other, a humorless smile abruptly stretched across my lips. “You’re talking to me about upbringing?…
I managed to endure the discomfort for a while, but could no longer suppress the nausea rising in my stomach and began to dry heave. Without a second’s delay, I ran to the bathroom and emptied my stomach of its contents. “Does it taste bad?” A cold voice reached my ears and I froze. Looking…
Anthony’s study was very large and there were all kinds of books here. I flipped through some books with illustrations to pass the time, and it didn’t take long for my back to feel sore. I put down the book in my hand and wandered around the study. My gaze fell on a small cabinet…
Crap. Does this count as digging my own grave? “No…” I rejected him a little too quickly. He narrowed his eyes at me, his gaze on me intensifying. “You seem to be really against going to the hospital, Sienna.” “No…” A hint of sadness flashed across my face, and I answered him with red-rimmed eyes,…
Anger and hurt could clearly be detected in her voice. Joe looked at Anthony with a conflicted expression, opening his mouth to speak, but no words came. In the end, he trailed after Rylee and left. Immediately after, Jared snatched away the wine glass in Anthony’s hand and snapped at him, “If you don’t want…
