~ SIENNA ~

Harry squinted at the paper. “That you’re fucking another man?”

“Yeah, that’s what I thought,” I scoffed. “Look harder, Harry. I mean, you’re an engineer. Where is your attention to detail skill?”

He looked at me like I was speaking Old Norse, that boyish demeanor I had loved about him on full display. He really did look good. Refreshed even. Like he didn’t just lose a five-year marriage. Apparently, I was the only one crying myself to sleep. Thank God I wore my sunglasses.

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   The irony

    ~ SIENNA ~ You should call him, a part of my brain said to me. “No, I’m not speaking to him,” I replied out loud. You’re in potential danger and he’s most likely to know what’s going on. And reach you much faster.“Yes, but…”But…???I dug my fingers into my palm until it hurt, just to get me out of my head. Having a whole debate with myself was a new and very unwelcome development. Still, the logic remained hard to ignore. If this was connected to Gavin — and the probability of that was not small — I needed to know. And I needed to let him know about it. The journey to my block list felt like a walk of shame, especially since he hadn’t ever tried to reach me since the block. Did he even notice I blocked him? Damn. I scrolled past the numbers of cold-calling salespeople, and friends of Harry and I who seemed to care a little too much about how I was doing after the divorce, and some others I couldn’t recognize.It didn’t take long to find ‘Mr. Selfish 😈’With a sigh, I unbloc

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   Stalked

    ~ SIENNA ~I caught her wrist an inch before it smashed into my face. It was pure reflex, nothing more. She jerked against my grip. I held on tight.She wretched harder, twisting herself until she tore herself free — and immediately reached for my hair. “Ow!” Pain exploded across my scalp as she buried her fingers in my roots. Without thinking, I grabbed a fistful of her hair in return. My bag slipped to the floor as I used both hands to yank back.What followed was not in any way graceful. We both tussled until we found ourselves bent at ridiculous angles, each locked in the other's grip. I twisted my arm between our bodies, trying to pry her hand off my hair while she craned her neck, desperate to relieve the pressure at her scalp. “Bitch—““Let go!” I screeched. “You first.”Neither of us could. She raked her nails down my chest. I answered by wrenching her hair even harder and sinking a bite into whichever unfortunate body part of hers happened to be in front of my mouth

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   Stripping in Miami

    ~ SIENNA ~“Nicole…” I started, then stopped, unsure what to say next. I couldn’t remember ever being insulted so blatantly. Harry and his mother would at least hide theirs in layers of euphemism so that I had to unwrap them like presents in my free time. “Nicole,” she mimicked, making a stank face while holding up her fingers like talons. “Oh shut up! You got my fiancé to call off our engagement and you thought I would ever forget you?”My tongue sat heavy and useless in my mouth. I couldn’t move it. At all. The whiplash from my excitement this morning to the disaster facing me right now was dismantling my senses. I was lucky I could still hear her. “No, silly,” she hissed. “I recognized your name right from the pathetic application mail you sent. There and then, I decided to take you on a jolly little ride. The role you’re applying for has been filled since last month.”So that’s what this was — revenge. The interview I had spent days preparing for was Nicole’s revenge. At leas

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   Banshee laughter

    ~ SIENNA ~At the reception, I gave my name and reason for my visit. The receptionist — pleasant and efficient — asked me to wait while he made a call. When he turned back to me, there was a faint note of confusion in his expression though he was trying to be professional about it. He set the receiver back on the landline’s cradle. “I’m not aware of any roles being filled at the moment,” he said carefully. “But evidently, the HR manager is expecting you.”He finished with directions, clear enough that I could have followed them blindfolded and in the dark.I thanked him and walked into the described corridor, stopping in front of the door marked ‘Human Resource Manager’. I stood there for just a moment, drew a slow breath, ran my best opening line one final time before pushing the door open and stepping in. The office was small and warmly decorated, with lots of wood panelling that had been left to look like wood and sunlight spilling in from open windows. The space felt welcoming.

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   Interview day

    ~ SIENNA ~I was walking but my feet weren’t touching the floor. No, really. I was so happy, it felt like I was floating on air. For maybe the twentieth time this morning, I admired my reflection in the mirror. A burgundy suit sat on my frame, making me look... unrecognizable. The jacket cinched at my waist before flaring gently around my hips. The skirt hugged my curves perfectly, stopping exactly at mid-knee as though it had been measured with a ruler. I couldn't remember the last time I wore a suit, but boy, oh boy, this fit was convincing me to dress like this every day. I looked every bit deserving of the job and, surprisingly, felt it too. How could I not when I had put in hours of practice for this interview?I knew the gaps in my CV were going to be a talking point and I was prepared to make a case for myself with everything else I had; exceptional work ethic, a Harvard distinction, and the kind of mechanical skill that didn’t expire just because it went unused.A soft kn

  • Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master   No one needs to get hurt

    ~ GAVIN ~The room erupted. Gasps layered over each other — the loudest from Hannah's parents who had now moved even farther from us. Edward stepped to the side. "I could have your brains on this floor!" Robert's voice broke at the edges, his hand pressed to his face. "I could! Right now — I could!"Edward and Uncle Thomas rushed to him, urging him to breathe, to calm down, to just stop talking. Hannah's mother crossed the room and joined the program. Their low, urgent tones echoed in my ears as I stared at the bodyguard. His eyes were flat and professional, the gun unwavering, and his expression suggested the only thing standing between me and a very bad outcome was the word his employer had not yet given.And the employer in question? His rage was getting wilder by the second. In this state, he could very well decide to shoot and deal with whatever consequences later. I felt the weight of my own weapon tucked against my waistband, hidden beneath the loose drape of my shirt. Of c

    ~ SIENNA ~He leaned deeper into his chair, not in the least startled by my outburst. “I’ve counted four questions since we made the agreement.”“No, no… that’s not possible. I’ve not officially started asking.”“Officially? I didn’t know we would need to sign another contract before you ask your q

    ~ SIENNA ~Today’s Friday. The Friday I have been waiting for all week — till yesterday. My thumbs danced around my phone keyboard as I drafted a cancellation text to Rum Telly. If I wasn’t going to provoke a reaction from Harry, I had no desire to spend my evening with a superstar who probably ha

    ~ SIENNA ~I heard Margo gasp at the other end of the line but she recovered quickly. And then she said something she should never have said. “Well, your mother hasn’t been in the picture for a while so I might as well stand in for her.”The words struck me like a double edged blade had been dippe

    ~ SIENNA ~Minutes later, I walked out of my bedroom into the living room wearing a wide smile and a light-blue halter neck pleated dress. “How do I look?” I asked, giving Margo a twirl. She paused her movie and looked at me all over with an unreadable expression. “You look like Cinderella — befo
