With that , he hung up .

He despises me that much .

Sienna stared at her phone , stunned Her face drained of color as she realized how pathetic she must have seemed , begging him for money .

She raised a hand and rested it on her still flat belly , letting out a cold , bitter laugh .

After a while , she closed her eyes , tears streaming down her cheeks .
