Nolan's POV
I kept wondering if cheating on Sia with her elder sister was right. It wasn't like I was the first person to cheat. She cheated on me with Chris, the marketing director, and for some reason, Chris deemed it fit to forward their s*x video to me on w******p. The fury that burned inside me when I saw it was beyond anything I could quench. That was why I quickly gave in to Sienna's temptation to become intimate with her. Without any thought as to what was in it for her, I agreed, and soon we were caught.
After Sia caught us in the act, I felt guilty and chased her to her car in my boxers. Soon, I came to my senses and wondered why I was apologizing to her since she cheated on me first. I could have confronted her when I saw the video initially, but being the coward I am, I never did. Only two weeks later, after confronting Chris, I found out that Sia never cheated on me. The person Chris had s*x with was Sienna, whose resemblance to Sia is striking.
But it was too late for an apology, as giving one requires knowing the whereabouts of the person you are apologizing to. Besides, I was shackled by Sienna's blackmail to upload the s*x video Chris sent to the internet if I didn't do as she said.
I truly love Sia, and I am too weak to fight for her. How I wish she could see my heart. I did every bidding of Sienna to avoid the media seeing Sia's double s*x video, assuming it was her. Unknown to me, what I feared the most was about to happen.
A few hours before Sia's s*x video upload on the internet, the day before the incident, Subway at 7 PM.
"You are late," I said.
"And you are chubby," Sienna replied.
"How long will this blackmail keep going? I am exhausted. It seems to me that your vendetta to destroy your sister is a rough and very dangerous one," I said.
"Well, you know what they say. If you can't play big, you can't score big," Sienna replied.
I pointed at my cheek and tummy, "You see these two, what do you see?"
"A fat dude," Sienna replied.
"Yes and no," I said, moving my chair forward. The waiter stood by us and requested our order. Sienna requested a strawberry sandwich, while I ordered a beef sandwich. Soon after the waiter took our order, I said to Sienna, "I have been stress eating for the last two weeks, eating my guilt, and trust me, it is making me feel worse."
"Why are you acting like a child?" Sienna asked, whispering. "You are not the first human to ever cheat on your partner. Grow up, man. I can see how much of a coward you are."
"Yeah, I know. I am a coward," I replied, whispering aloud. When I observed the attention of other customers focusing on me, I cleared my throat, "I am a good man."
"We are way past this. You are never a good man nor will you ever be. Haven't you heard of this saying..." Sienna paused, interrupted by the waiter who served our order. After the waiter excused us, Sienna continued, "Once a line is crossed, there is no going back."
In silent tears, I said, "I am a good man."
"Yet, I never asked you to kill Chris. I mean, your jealousy is beyond anything I could have imagined. You may claim to be all good, but inside you is a little devil," Sienna replied.
"No, I don't. You are the devil who pushed me into this. You caused this. I wish I had never met you," I said.
"Yet, when you killed Chris, whose number did you dial? Mine or 911?" Sienna replied.
"I must say this, you are one evil, psychopathic maniac b***h," I said.
"Your gesture is not to my amusement, but I must say you hit a nail there, maybe not just the right word to use. So, are you going to keep calling me crazy, or will you listen to the reason I am here to meet with you?" Sienna replied.
"Like I have a choice. As if being black isn't worse, now I take orders from a psycho white lady. What is the worst that can happen?" I said.
"Now that is my slave. I mean, that was not the word you were saying when we were moonlighting before Sia caught us," Sienna replied.
"Now I want to kill you," I said.
"Great, that will make it two bodies to bury by the lake," Sienna replied.
I held my fist together and listened to Sienna, her plan to damage the relationship between Sia and Rowan. As much as I wanted to say no, she had every leverage, and as cowardly as I am, I acted on every instruction she gave since I didn't want to go to jail.
(Back at the hospital, as I exit Sia's ward)
I dialed Sienna's line.
"Mission one is a go. I laid the egg, so please let me off the hook. No more forceful collaboration, or I will turn myself in. Whatever you do, remember there are consequences."
"Too late for that. I told my sister yet my father has two prosthetic legs, and my mother is in a wheelchair. Too late for time travel," Sienna replied.
"Okay, she will be exiting any minute now," I alerted Sienna.
"Thanks, I will take it from here. It is time for some sister bonding," Sienna replied.
"Yeah, I hate to see how it goes. I am out," I said, watching Sienna majestically and seductively catwalk her way to the elevator. I followed her through the stairs to the sixth floor, where I saw Sia whose eyes locked onto Sienna as the elevator door opened. The words Sienna said were frightening as she took off her shades, "Hello, Sister."
