Simon walked in and quietly shut the door behind him. I adjusted in my seat as he approached me, his expression exuding a mix of emotions.

“I’ve got news, Boss, updates on Sienna,” he said.

I had asked him to keep an eye on her for me, telling him to get the best of my men and have them covertly trail her every move. I needed to know what she was doing at any point in time, where she was going, and who she was spending her time with.

Maybe this would help me understand her behavior and help me find out if she was seeing someone else. I frowned at the thought of her with another man. I was a jealous man who didn’t like to share. But also, a part of me was worried about her safety, and with my men keeping tabs on her, she’d be protected.

“Why the long face?” I asked, squinting as I wondered what was on his mind.

“Because I’m afraid it’s no good news,” he replied.

I gritted my teeth, feeling my blood boil as I assumed he’d seen her with another man. Jealousy kicked me, and I balled both hands into fists.

So, this was the reason she’d walked away from me, the reason she’d not been replying to my messages. I knew that I’d hurt her, but moving on so fast with another man? That was cold of her.

In my head, this man—whoever he was—was as good as dead because he’d messed with the wrong person. I would have him butchered and keep his heart as a trophy if he decided to keep seeing her.

“Who is he?” I asked, my brows furrowing to accentuate the frown on my face.

“Who is who?” Simon asked, puzzled.

“The man she’s seeing. Who the fuck is he?” I snapped, boiling with rage as I sprang to my feet, glaring at him as though he was the man seeing Sienna. I was so pissed that I was tempted to slam a fist into my table and put a hole in it. “Tell me everything you know about him, and don’t fucking leave out any detail.”

“Boss, there is no man,” he said calmly.

“What?” My voice was low, mixed with relief.

“She’s not seeing anyone.”

I scoffed at my overreaction, sitting back down. “Why, then, did you say it isn’t good news?” I asked, now with an open mind.

“I’ve been watching her for days now, as you instructed, and I realized that she’s always visiting a particular clinic,” he replied.

Instantly, I started thinking the worst, and my mind flooded with worry. “Clinic? Is she okay? Is she hurt? Did anything bad happen to her?” I realized now just how much I deeply cared for her.

“I guess she’s okay,” he said.

“You guess? Simon, I’m not paying you to guess,” I snapped, getting impatient.

“Yes, she’s been going to a clinic, but it’s an obstetric clinic,” he said.

My breath ceased for a moment, knowing the meaning of what he was saying.

“She’s pregnant, Boss,” he further clarified.

She’s pregnant?

The world and everything around me seemed to be at a standstill as I took some time to process this news. This was a game-changer. A baby was involved, meaning things were about to get more complicated now.

Chapter 17 – Sienna

I was staring at the professor and the board as he taught the class, but I wasn’t necessarily paying attention. My mind was drifting back and forth, mulling over the situation that I had landed myself in.

There was a freaking baby inside of me, and that alone scared the shit out of me. I was completely lost in my thoughts, and nothing going on around me was significant at the moment.

It was a lot to take in, and the longer I kept this secret, the longer I carried the weight all on my own and the closer I came to breaking down. It was so heavy that I could barely breathe sometimes, and more often than not, I would be lost in thoughts, as I was right now, while a class was ongoing.

I remembered the last time I’d met Vlad and how I’d rejected his efforts to reach out and make amends. He seemed like he was sorry for the way he acted even though he didn’t literally apologize.
