Chapter 41: What Do I Do

~Sienna~I can’t recognize the person before me. She’s not the Nova that I know, not my best friend.The eyes staring at me are full of anger and fury, if they had hands they’d wrap around my throat and choke me to death without blinking.My body shakes as I drag down my skirt. My hands tremble while I fumble to fasten the buttons of my shirt. My heart hammers so violently it pulses in my ears.She sniffles. Hot tears stream down her face, fast and harsh.“You’re screwing my father?” she says, her voice cracking. “I, I… I thought you were my best friend, but it turns out you’re just a hypocrite.”I gasp. My eyes flutter. My throat clamps up as tears begin to gather in my eyes. I press my lips together, trying to muffle my sobs while the heat slides down my cheeks.My bare feet tremble. My fingers twist the hem of my shirt. I don’t even know if I’m dressed right, or not. I can’t tear my gaze away from Nova. I can’t move or say a word.“Nova, sweetheart…” Norman says softly.Her head sn

Chapter 42: What’s Left To Say

~Norman~My knuckles hover at the door for the third time, my heart pounding in my chest.Am I doing the right thing? I should just turn back and leave and she won’t even know I was here.But I can’t do that to her. I need to see her. I need to know how she’s been holding up after everything.I’m so ashamed of myself. I feel so fucking guilty for dragging her into this mess, yet I don’t regret us. If I have to change anything, it would be the day. The day Nova came. I wouldn’t call Sienna to my office. I would’ve changed my damn passcode. I would’ve found some work excuse to give Nova.But it’s too late for regret. Now I have to do what’s best for both of us.Fuck. I miss her. I miss her so fucking bad. Two days of not seeing or hearing from her. Two days of dealing with Nova. I can’t call Sienna, not when my daughter was breaking in front of me. I don’t want to lose either of them. But Nova has to come first. I didn’t plan on hurting her, and it guts me that I did.I knock. Once. T

Chapter 43: Go Home

~Sienna~Oh no.This can’t be happening.Hot tears dot my eyes and drop on the plastic kit in my hands. My heart sinks and keeps sinking, I don’t even understand how my legs still hold my weight.I wish I’m seeing things and this result in my hand is just a figment of my brain and when I look again it’s not going to be the same, but it remains.Positive.Two unblinking parallel lines.No, no, no.There has to be a mistake, there’s no way this damn thing is real.Pregnant?How can I be pregnant when I always take the pill every damn time? Yes, I’ve never forgotten.Oh God, what is happening to me?This isn’t a good time, not after all that went down this week. This has to be wrong, this plastic stuff isn’t reliable.My hands shake as I wipe off the tears and clumsily hold onto the pregnancy kit.Yes, they aren’t reliable.Maybe I’m coming down with a fever or something and that’s why the plastic thing mistakes me.Plastics aren’t doctors.I drop the pregnancy kit by the sink and step o

Chapter 44: We’ll Be Fine

~Sienna~I stare out of the car window, gaping at the changes in Maplewood. The tall, glass buildings, the hotels, the newly built restaurants.All these buildings were not there in the past two years. We had the local diners, not big fancy restaurants. There are tall buildings, but not the luxurious glass houses.If I hadn’t been seeing some places that I recognized, I would have thought we were still in some part of Chicago.What the hell happened in the space of two years?Wow. This is amazing. Whatever company is in charge of this development is really good.I watch as they slide past the moving car, some buildings are still ongoing. I notice a van at one of the ongoing constructions, a logo of ‘ERED’ on it.I try to look for the meaning or the full name of the company, but nothing. The taxi driver speeds through the street, and I can only strain my neck, glancing through the windscreen.When I couldn’t see it anymore, I lean into the seat. I look ahead and place a palm on my stom

Chapter 45: I Need You

~Sienna~ I groan at the screen. My fist curls around a chunk of my hair and I tug it. Why does this keep happening? I’m tempted to kick my laptop away as I stare at the annoying rejection from yet another job site. I’d been so confident I’d get this one in particular, but it’s the same as the others. Declined. My stomach twists. I set the laptop aside and jump out of bed, rushing out of my room to the hallway bathroom. I bend over the faucet and my stomach contracts, but nothing comes out since I haven’t been able to eat anything since last night. I retch at every smell of food. My body trembles. I rinse my mouth and lean into the wall as a hollow emptiness settles in the pit of my stomach. My vision blurs. I feel my pulse ticking in my ears. My head grows light. My grip tightens on the faucet edge as I shut my eyes and wait for the moment to pass. Eventually the brightness steadies again, and the pain in my head dulls. I move away from the wall and walk back to my bedroom. M

Chapter 46: Having You By My Side

~Sienna~My hand taps softly on the table as I watch the customers bustling in and out of the small diner. It’s small and cozy, and I can see the customers enjoying themselves, feeling at home.Maybe it won’t be so bad to work here after all, preferably behind the scene. I can’t have my stomach churning with all this aroma.I count numbers in my head while I wait for Mrs. Linda and her husband. Sitting here for over thirty minutes and still waiting. God, I’m getting restless, and my stomach is twisting. “Sienna?”A voice exclaims. My head snaps up. My brows pull together as the stranger moves closer, then my eyes widen.“Elias,” I gasp and stand up. “Oh my God.”He grins, flashing his teeth as he stretches an arm, balancing a box of food on his other arm. He wraps his arm around my waist, hugging me tightly.He’s wearing a black suit, his usual unruly hair tamed back and nicely cut at the sides. He looks taller than the last time I saw him.Dark hair. Blue eyes.Handsome.“I didn’t w

Chapter 47: Ruined Beyond Measure

~Sienna~ I jump with joy at the confirmation on my desk. The old couple have finally agreed to partner with us to renovate their collapsing building after much discussion and persuasion. Yes. I finally close a deal. My first deal in a month of working in Elias Real Estate Development. It feels like a dream every day. I still can’t get over it. I need to inform Elias about this. I rush out of my office to his office, two doors away from mine. I knock and enter at his command. He’s hunched over a document on his desk, reading glasses sitting on his face. He raises his head and smiles as he sees me. “The couple finally agreed to our proposal,” I beam, pulling out the chair opposite him as I hand him the document. “Oh, really?” he smirks. “That calls for celebration.” He flips the page, picks up his pen, and signs his name. “Elias, you didn’t even read it. You didn’t check the terms,” I snap, and reach for the document, but his signature is already there. I glare at him and h

Chapter 48: It Looks Horrible

~Sienna~“He’s here again. Poor guy,” my mom sighs, resting on my door frame instead of entering.I roll my eyes and smirk.I don’t even need to ask who this poor guy is.“Do you think he has a girlfriend?” she asks. “I don’t think so. He wouldn’t be here every day to pick you up and drop you off.”I click my tongue as I apply my lipstick, quietly observing my mom through the mirror.She’s been doing this for some time now and I’m tired. Damn, she can be really impossible.“Mom, can you stop that now? What are you trying to get?” I ask, turning to her, my brow raised.She shrugs and frowns. “What did I do? I’m only concerned about the poor young man.”I snort. “Poor man. Need I remind you he’s a CEO of a millionaire company.”I turn and pick up my bag and walk toward the door.“You need to stop this your drama, huh. I have to go now.” I peck her cheek and leave without looking back.I walk out of the house and Elias gets out of the car and rounds it to open the car door for me.“Thank

Chapter 49: Everything Is Fine For Now

~Sienna~“Oh my goodness,” my mom squeals, opening the door wider.My feet pause at the kitchen door entrance as I wait to see what the rise is about. Then Elias walks in with large shopping bags in his hands.He shouldn’t be here until about two hours’ time and then the meals will be ready to be served.Why did I agree to let him come over for Christmas again?Yes, because he doesn’t have a family after the accident that took his parents’ lives six years ago.Now my mom is really going to have enough time to drill him. Ask every goddamn question she’s been wanting to ask.I blow out a breath and join them.“Elias,” my mom purrs. “You shouldn’t have bothered with these.”“Miss Jane,” he smiles. “It’s nothing. Just Christmas presents.”“Sienna,” his smile widens as he glances at me.His eyes drift down to my protruding belly. “How are you holding on?”My hand moves to rest on my stomach, rubbing it gently. “I’m good, the nausea has reduced. You’re early though. I’m not expecting you ti

Chapter 50: A Perfect Family Of Three

~Sienna~ I follow behind Elias under my mother’s gaze. My hands tremble, my fingers curl up tight, digging into my palms until they sting. A thin line of sweat trickles down my spine, warm and irritating. I press my lips together and keep my face straight until we get out. I sigh and shake my head as the door shuts behind us. Elias chuckles. “She loves you.” “I know,” I snort, dragging my hand to my stomach, rubbing the bump gently. A steady flutter moves beneath my palm, grounding me. “She can be really impossible at times. God, I couldn’t even breathe properly. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience she’s caused you.” “No,” he waves his hand in the air. “It’s alright. I enjoyed every bit of it.” He pauses his steps and turns to me, stretching his palm. “Come with me to the car.” I glance at the window. Sure enough, the curtains are open. I know she’s watching every bit of our interactions. Probably dancing with joy right now. I place my other hand in Elias’s palm and he pu
