Issca stood tall, her expression calm but resolute, and beside her was one of her bodyguards-an imposing man with a look that told Sienna this was her final warning. Before Sienna could react, Issca's bodyguard pushed her back with a firm shove, and Sienna stumbled,

her face twisting into a grotesque mix of rage and humiliation as she hit the ground hard.

The impact was loud, and for a moment, everything seemed to freeze. Sienna sprawled on the pavement, her clothes rumpled and her hair disheveled.

I had always believed that Nathan had buried those memories deep, never to resurface again. But here he was, his face filled with anguish, looking between me, Issca, and the baby like we were hiding some kind of terrible
