HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 12: THE RISE
Sienna's POVWe walked into the bustling building. As soon as they sensed his presence, heads were turning. Bowing. Eyes on us. Especially on me. Eyes wondering who was this new lady walking side by side with their boss. They didn't know yet. I was about to become their CEO.I saw the assistant coming toward us in a black corporate suit with two men in tow. She moved with the precision of someone who had been doing this for years. Everything about her screamed efficiency."Good morning, Mr. Sebastian," she greeted with a slight bow."The board is ready?" he asked, his voice suddenly serious. Not the warm, teasing voice I had recognized two minutes ago in the car. I wondered how many sides this man had. Warm in one minute. Cold and serious in a few seconds. Like flipping a switch."Yes, sir. They are waiting in the conference room," she replied.Her eyes flipped to me, and she bowed lightly."Hello, Mrs. Sienna," she greeted with a knowing smile.She already knows? I thought, my pulse
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 11: THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Sienna's POVThe day I was not expecting to arrive so quickly had come. I stood in front of the mirror, dressed in a powerful dress. It was a tailored navy blue suit with a crisp white silk blouse underneath. The jacket hugged my waist perfectly, showing off the curves I had hidden away for so long. The skirt fell just below the knee. Everything about it screamed confidence. Everything about it screamed power. This was a dress for someone becoming a CEO.I moved my hair to the other side, exposing my neck adorned with a necklace Sebastian had bought yesterday. He had called it one of the benefits of this marriage. I did not read any deeper meaning into it. What I had acquired in this agreement were benefits. Nothing more. Nothing less.Dominic and his cohorts had no idea what was about to happen today. I bet the news is going to be a shock to the whole world. The girl he had discarded. The girl he had thrown in a pool. The girl he had used and abused. That girl was about to become the
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 10: THE MEETING AND THE TRUTH
Sienna's POV"Honey, don't start in her presence," Mrs. Linda said, her voice carrying a warning."What? Sebastian is trying to prevent a simple greeting," his father replied, his tone sharp.Amidst the affection, there was still some hidden grudge within this family. I could feel it. The tension. The unspoken words. The anger simmering just below the surface."Dad?" Sophia yelled, frustration written all over her face.Victor raised his hands as he walked over to his seat beside his wife. I turned at Sebastian. He wasn't saying anything, and I wondered what the silence meant. What was he thinking? What was he protecting?"I'm sorry, sir, for the misunderstanding," I started to say."Can we get into what we came here for? I just came here to make you know my wife and not intimidate her," Sebastian suddenly said. His voice was cold and serious. There was a brief silence. I was getting very uncomfortable with the interaction. The way his father looked at me. The way his mother kept stud
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 9: THE DINNER
Sebastian's POVI was amused by where that boldness was coming from."And why do you want me to put you in that position?" I teased, leaning back slightly to study her reaction.She was serious. Dead serious."An idea just popped into my head," she started to explain.I chuckled, cutting her words short. She tilted her head, an eyebrow raised at my interruption."I know this request is out of nowhere, and I shouldn't be asking," she continued, her voice uncertain."Deal," I said simply.She froze and leaned back, surprise clearly written all over her face."That was quite fast. I mean, I was expecting you to disagree with me," she said."Do you want me to withdraw my answer back?" I asked, knowing full well what her response would be."No, no," she said quickly.There was a brief silence between us. I could see her mind working, trying to understand my quick acceptance. But she didn't need to understand. Not yet."These are things to do to make this marriage look real. And since you p
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 8: THE ELEVATION AND THE SECRETS
Dominic's POVI sat under the large umbrella in the picnic resort I had bought for our honeymoon. Katherine rested her head on my arm as we watched the lapping of the sea. The waves were calm. Everything was perfect. Everything was exactly as planned."Babe, you know sometimes looking at those waves reminded me of my childhood days," she said, her voice soft and dreamy."Really?" I asked, not really listening. My mind was elsewhere. On the empire I was building.She looked up, the hat making her face smaller, more delicate."Yes, you know, being an heiress to my royal family... You understand," she said."Of course I do, my love," I replied, kissing the top of her head.She rested back on my arm, sipping the fruit juice on the fancy table beside us. For a moment, I felt nothing but contempt for her. She was useful. She was beautiful. She was a means to an end. "I heard someone caused some trouble at the reception," she asked suddenly. I raised an eyebrow to her question, not expectin
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 7: THE INVESTIGATION AND THE MOMENT
Sebastian's POV"These are all the documents, sir," the private investigator said, placing the file on my table. I stared at it like something that would pounce on me if I stared at the devastating content inside it for too long.I couldn't bring myself to open it. Not yet. Not when I knew what it contained. Not when I knew what it would mean."I had to carefully access the server," the investigator continued. "Unfortunately, it was so exposed I think the person had forgotten it needed more tight security.""Or maybe they thought no one could think of that side," I completed, still not raising my head from the file."Yes, sir, that is true. The documents in the file are just receipts from Ashford Holdings. I was surprised it did not show who signed it off."I looked up at him then. His expression was careful. Measured. Like he was trying to soften the blow of what he was about to tell me."What do you mean? You said my father authorized the payment," I said, my voice steady even thoug
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 6: THE GHOSTS OF THE PAST
Sienna's POVThe softness of the bed was different. I opened my eyes gently, remembering where I was. My old bed had been ironed. Hard. Cold. Something that matched the life I had been living. Waking up in luxury reminded me of my new reality. A reality I still wasn't quite sure was real.I sat up,
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 5: THE DINNER AND THE TRUTH
Sienna's POVI sat opposite him at the dining table. The spread was extraordinary. Multiple courses, each one more beautiful than the last. There were plates with food I couldn't even name. Vegetables I had never seen before. Fish that looked like it had been caught that morning. Meat that probably
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 4: THE NEW LIFE
Sienna's POVWaking up to a new morning meant waking up to a white Bentley parked in front of the apartment I was managing. A man and a lady in crisp black and white uniforms stood in front of my door, both smiling like they had known me their entire lives."Good morning, Mrs. Sienna," the lady sai
HIS RIVAL'S OBSESSION CHAPTER 3: THE WEIGHT OF TRUTH
Sebastian's POVI sat in the back of my Aston Martin, scrolling through my tablet for the daily hand exercise game I did when I was stressed out. It was the most peaceful thing right now. The numbers and patterns kept my mind occupied. Kept me from thinking about things I didn't want to think about
