MasukLiam's POV
The pain of losing someone is still with me. It feels just as bad as it did on the day.Now I have this feeling mixed with the pain. It is making my head all cloudy. I do not think clearly.I want to make someone else feel the hurt that I do.I do not like feeling this way. I just cannot help it.Every time I think about Noah lying on the road I get really angry. The anger is so strong that I do not even know who I am anymSienna's POVI looked at her again. There was something in her eyes that I did not see very often at the office.She was not talking about making money. She was not talking about the people who gave us money to run our business or what we wanted to achieve.She was worried about me, Sienna's husband."Thank you." "I really mean that." She gave a nod."You have always helped us when we needed it." "Please let us help you now even if it is a little bit."I felt warm inside my chest. I realized that I had been doing everything by myself for a time.Somewhere along the way I forgot that there were still people who would stand with me, Sienna's husband."I will remember that." I smiled a bit."How is Sienna doing?" The question made me feel calm."She is doing better now. She still
Liam's POV I rubbed my head as I looked at the computer on my desk. I was sitting in an office for almost one hour.Lots of emails were waiting for answers. A few papers still need my signature, but I didn't read one good.My eyes stayed on the screen. My mind, though, was stuck in the prison visit room.They kept going back to Emily's face. They kept going back to the look in her eyes and really to the words she had said again and again."I didn't do anything wrong."A soft breath came from my mouth. I didn't get why those words would not go out of my head.The proof was too much. Emily had struck Noah, run away from the place, and hidden herself.All signs led right to her. But when I saw her today, I didn’t see a person acting like they were calm.I saw a person who really thought about her own falsehood. At least, she was trying to think about it.I
Sienna's POV "I'm not going anywhere Sienna. I'll stay here with you."His words made me shut my eyes for a moment."I'm sorry." I said softly. "I've made you worry a lot."He cut me off away."Don't say sorry. You're going through something tough and I know it's not easy."I bit my lip gently.His understanding made my eyes water with tears."I still get sad a lot." I said honestly. "I still think about Noah all the time. Sometimes I'm scared I'll become the person I was before."The sound of the waves filled the quiet between us.Liam took his time before speaking."You're allowed to be sad. You're allowed to cry. You're not alone anymore. You have me, Liliana and William."For the time those words made me realize I wasn't carrying all this pain by myself.I looked up at the blue sky.A
Sienna's POV A sea breeze came across the shore that morning. After I helped Liliana water the plants and we had breakfast together I decided to take a walk on the beach by myself.Liliana asked if I wanted her to come with me. I just smiled and told her I wanted to enjoy the morning air for a while."I'm not going far." "Be careful." "I will." I walked without thinking about where I was going. My feet sank into the sand as gentle waves brushed against my toes before going back into the sea.Some fishermen were fixing their nets nearby. Kids ran across the shore with kites while seagulls flew low over the water looking for fish.My steps took me to a coconut tree standing a little farther from the shoreline. The shade looked nice so I leaned against the trunk. Sat down.The sound of the waves was much clearer there. I took out my blue notebook and opened it to a
Liam’s POVI closed my eyes for a moment before looking at Emily"Have you ever thought about Sienna?" The question made Emily tense up."She lost her son and it still hurts her a lot. She still hears Noahs voice she still sees his shadow. She cries every night."Emily bit her lip and her fingers tightened around the edge of her prison uniform."I lost my son too. I lost the future he was supposed to have I lost every plan we made I lost every dream he carried."I swallowed hard feeling a lump in my throat."He never even got to live his life."There was silence between us again.The only sound was the hum of the air conditioner filling the room.Emily did not look at me anymore. She looked down at the table in front of her.For a moment I thought she was starting to understand.A few se
Liam's POVI turned off the engine when I parked outside the detention center. The gray building stood silently in front of me; it was cold and unwelcoming.I sat in the driver's seat for a while not moving. My eyes were fixed on the walls ahead.Emily's first court hearing was tomorrow. My lawyer told me that we had all the evidence we needed.We had the CCTV footage. The vehicle investigation and witness statements all pointed to Emily.The case was much ready for trial. I still had one question on my mind.I wanted to see Emily. I did not want to forgive her.I was not going to threaten her. I just wanted to hear the truth from her.Why did she do something cruel?After a few minutes a correctional officer took me to the visitation room. There was glass between us and we each had a telephone on a small table.I sat down. Waited, my hands clas
Sienna’s POV It felt like I was watching a film I once starred in—except now, my role had been recast. No warning. No reason. Just… replaced. A tightness pressed against my chest, rising up to my throat. But no tears came. As if my body was too tired to cry anymore. Apparently, everything I had
Sienna’s POV This pain didn’t arrive all at once. It came slowly—like rain leaking through a roof. Drop by drop, silent and unnoticed, until everything was soaked. That’s how I lost everything—quietly and gradually. I forced myself to stand and walk over to the desk. I opened the email I had rece
Sienna’s POV I stood for a moment at the doorway, letting the midday light seep through the strands of my tangled hair. The room felt stifling—like my heart. How many days had I shut myself away like this? Everything seemed to spin so fast, yet strangely slow. Outside, the world kept turning. Mean
Sienna’s POV Everything began to move quickly. Emily was busy rifling through drawers, opening little boxes in her room with a frantic expression—one I couldn’t tell was genuine or just another performance. Liam hovered nearby, overseeing the chaos, while Noah scurried around asking questions, as
