Sienna’s POV “I am still very shocked you are home by this time but I promise to come over immediately I am done for the day. You have to tell me exactly what’s wrong” Lila said softly over the phone. She had been going on about how shocked she is for the past five minutes, and I just can’t help but laugh at her. I guess seeing a workaholic like me at home on a Monday of all days speaks for itself. "That's fine, I am here, not going anywhere yet” I laughed. "You are scaring me more, Babes. Just wait till I get there” She feigned a shiver making me laugh even more. “You are just being dramatic” “Whatever you say” she rolled her eyes. “Bye,” She said in a sing-song voice. “Wait” I called out before she could end the call. “What, you wanna take a month's leave now?” She joked. “You are being silly, Lila,” I laughed. “Just want to remind you about the dinner tonight, Grandma is going to have our necks if any of us are late and I am not ready for that” “I cannot forget the last time I was only a minute late. Grandma almost added me to our dinner” She remarked playfully. “Trust me none of us can ever forget that night, you were a perfect example for us all” I chuckled recalling the memory. “My mum said she would leave Brittany with the nanny,” She said, her voice suddenly low. Why are they all talking about her all at once in one day, today of all days? “I know, she called,” I murmured, already knowing where the conversation was heading. “Sienna…” “Please Lila not now, please” I cut her off, they are all saying the same thing, just different words. “We are going to have to talk about it Sienna, you can’t keep avoiding it” “I know but not today please, I already have so much on my plate” I complained. “Just for now, Sienna” She used a tone she only uses when she means business. I guess you can’t keep running away from your past forever, especially a past like mine. “I have to go now, Sienna, there is someone at the door” I dismissed, the loud banging on my door annoying me more than I already am. “Okay, later babies”. I ended the call, shoving my phone into my back pockets. Whoever that is better have a very valid reason for banging on my door or things will get messy. I hurried down the stairs taking two steps at a time as the knocking grew louder and desperate, “Who the f**k is that?” I yelled angrily. It can’t be Julian right? He doesn’t have my address. Besides Julian isn’t stupid enough to come find me just because I am ignoring him. “Open the f*****g door, b***h” The person barked from the other side and I froze….I know that voice anywhere. “I know you can hear me, open the f*****g door and face me. Don’t be a coward” He yelled again, hitting the door continuously. He is right, I am no coward, he doesn’t have any power over me anymore. Taking a deep breath, I unlocked the door and pulled it open, “Guess you really ain’t no coward” He chuckled darkly pushing past me and walking in and I couldn’t even stop him. Taking a deep breath, I closed the door and walked into the living room where he had already taken a seat like he was welcome. “Damon…what are you doing here?” I asked, maintaining a plain voice. He broke your heart Sienna, he should be treated as such. “What do you mean what am I doing here, darling?” He asked his mouth curving up in a smirk at the nickname. He knew exactly what he was doing, I always asked him why he would prefer to call me by name even as his girlfriend. He never used any pet names when it came to me, like we were in some professional relationship. “Get out, Damon” I spat ignoring his antics. I don’t know why he is here but I know Damon would never come here without a motive that would benefit only him. “That is no way to speak to me, Sienna. Not after everything I have done for you,” He cackled. “All you have done for me or all you have done to me?” “You can act the victim all you want Sienna, it is none of my business, we both know you deserved all that I did and more” The malice and hate in his eyes hit me hard, tears sprang to my eyes. I am stronger than this, he cheated, I did nothing wrong. “Liar, you are just a f*****g liar…get the hell out of my house or I will call the cops on you” I threatened breathing hard to calm myself down. He laughed, hard. “The cops, really Sienna? I am so scared right now” “Damon…” I tried speaking up but before I could realize what was happening he had sprung up from where he sat, walked over to me, and wrapped his hand tight around my throat. “Stop” I cried trying to pry his hands away but he only tightened his hands cutting off my air supply, that is definitely going to bruise later. “Now you listen to me, if you think after everything you can just go around dating my boss, giving him what you refused to give, then you definitely have another thing coming” He spat his eyes red, of course he is high. So this is what this is all about… “You are going to give me all you denied me those years, you kept acting like it was such a crime to you while you were giving it to my own boss, huh? " He continued, squeezing tighter. The tears I had tried so much to hold in finally dropped from my eyes. “It’s…nothing …like that” I choked out trying to struggle my way out but he made it worse, my vision blurred. Why did I ever think I would be free of him, of them… “Of course it’s not, you w***e. I saw the way you couldn’t take your eyes off him that night at the gala last year so imagine my surprise when I got to find out you are now his beloved girlfriend. A slut will always be a slut” He dragged my face closer to his, the smell of alcohol and smoke hitting me hard I almost threw up. “You know why I am here?” He smiled, releasing his grip on my neck a little probably so that I could respond. “No” I shivered, anger growing in my chest. I am supposed to be past this now, I promised myself I would never give him any control over me again, and yet here I am…I really am nothing. “I want my share, my payment for putting up with your s**t all these years just for you to go behind my back and give it to my boss” He smirked like he had just said the most reasonable thing ever. “You are sick” I spat angrily, he can do whatever he wants but never call me the one thing he did that broke me. “We both know I was never the cheat” I added, tears falling from my eyes. He smiled, excitement in his eyes as he watched the tears fall down my cheeks, he brought his mouth to my face licking my tears from my face, I couldn’t hold in my gag. I couldn’t have been any happier when the door flew open, causing Damon to let me go. I inhaled deeply trying to get some real air into my system but the voice of who it was killed whatever joy I had. “I f*****g knew it” His voice held so much negative emotion I didn’t know which to hold on to. What wrong did I do today? What sort of day is this?
