Sienna’s POV I stood there, staring at the empty space where Kieran had just been. The air still hummed with the vibration of the door he’d just slammed. “Miss Blake?” James’s voice was soft, but it made me jump. I forced my gaze away and turned to face him. “Are you alright? Do you understand the terms and the schedule we’ve discussed?” I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded. “Yes. I understand.” “Excellent,” James said. “If you will follow me, I would like to show you around the villa. We will start with the room you will be occupying once you move in tonight.” He led me through the house; it felt as if I were on a private gallery tour. My footsteps were swallowed by the thick rugs. “This will be your room, Miss Blake. It is fully equipped with everything you might need.”
