The ambiguity in the air grew thicker.

Sienna's lips throbbed, swollen from Daniel's kisses. His hands tugged at the neckline of her dress, his lips trailing down, devouring her with fervent, unrelenting passion.

Unable to push away Daniel's strong frame, the thought of his indifference and lack of love for her, yet still treating her this way, stung deeply and pierced Sienna's heart like needles. Her breath hitched, her voice breaking with a sob. "Please, let me go!"

At that moment, a voice filled with sorrow broke through the air. "I'm sorry."

As he regained his senses, he realized how harshly and irrationally he behaved, which shocked him. Because of Sienna, he had lost control.

His simple apology broke Sienna's resolve, and tears streamed down her face.

"I'm sorry, Sienna," Daniel murmured again, his voice heavy with regret. He stepped back, giving her space.
