《Romeo》Chapter 38
Advertisement
As soon as the jet landed in New York, I sent a message to Troy asking where Sienna would be this evening. I wanted to surprise her; she didn't know I was coming back today. I looked forward to seeing my girl again. I missed her terribly. As soon as I got my master's degree, I came back.
I talked to Troy yesterday, he informed me that Sienna came back two days ago after her graduation. Fortunately, Troy was back to New York for summer break. He was going to get his master's degree next year. I was grateful to him because of his help. He always informed me about Sienna. Because of their father, I couldn't keep in touch with Sienna. He even convinced my father to help him and change my number; so Sienna and I couldn't communicate. As much as we tried to find each other's new numbers or emails, we couldn't find anything. They even ordered the others that they didn't give the numbers. It was unbelievable. They didn't even let us use social media. Moreover, George followed me like my shadow without giving me any space. It was frustrating. As much as I talked to my father about it, he didn't listen to me. When my parents visited me in London, I couldn't convince him as much as I tried.
I didn't know how they managed it, but they did everything to keep us away from each other. No doubt that they were successful businessmen; they thought about every detail. However, one time I could keep in touch with Sienna. Thanks to Troy. When he visited me in London, he let me talk to my girlfriend, despite the fact he didn't let me get her number because of his father's demand, and he asked Sienna and me to promise him that I wouldn't get each other's numbers. I didn't have another choice, so I accepted it. At least, I connected with her via text messages.
Fortunately, this separation ended, and now no one could force us to stay away from each other.
When I got in the car, Troy sent me a message, informing me that Sienna was going to the nightclub, Stardust with her friends. I was so excited to see her. On the other hand, I would catch up with Nathan. He took over their nightclub, Stardust and luxurious hotel after getting his bachelor's degree. Probably, he would be there tonight as well.

After having dinner with my family and chatting for a while, I got ready and went to Stardust.
As soon as I walked into the nightclub, I searched for Sienna. I was excited to see her again. My heart was pounding like crazy.
My jaw dropped in shock as I saw Sienna; she was talking to her annoying childhood friend, Henry. My worst nightmare.
"What the fuck is going on?!" I exclaimed in irritation, watching them while he was flirting with her. Meanwhile, Ms. Anderson looked satisfied with that bastard's attitude.
No, dude! You will stay away from my woman!
I gritted my teeth and strode towards them while they kept talking and grinning at each other.
"Sienna, did you miss me?" I stated between gritted teeth, wrapping my arm around Sienna's waist, pulling her closer to me as I approached them.
Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw me. She pulled away, ruffling her hair as her expression hardened. I looked at her, confused and stunned by her attitude.
"Hi." She said dryly and sipped her drink.
"Have we met before? You look familiar." Henry asked in curiosity.
"It is Romeo, Charlotte's brother." Sienna intervened, giving him a warm smile.
Charlotte's brother? Just Charlotte's brother?
Rage pulsed through my veins. What the fuck got into her?! Why was she acting like this?!
"Oh, I remembered. The guy who annoyed you so much." Henry chuckled in amusement.
I swallowed down my frustration and forced a tight smile.
"That is water under the bridge, man. The last time I checked she looked happier than annoyed in my presence and especially, because of my magic tongue and other parts." I commented smugly and winked at him before giving Sienna an arrogant smirk.
Her cheeks flushed, and she gave me a dirty look. Meanwhile, Henry looked at us speechless. Finally, the bastard understood she was mine. And I didn't plan to let anyone steal her from me in the near future nor later.
He cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck, and took a sip from his drink.
Sienna took a deep breath, closing her eyes and said, giving Henry a warm smile. "If you don't mind I have to talk to Romeo. I will be back in a few minutes."

I gave the bastard a self-satisfied grin, resting my hand on Sienna's back. She gritted her teeth, giving me a dirty look, and pulled away. I frowned in annoyance and ran my hand through my hair angrily.
"Sure. Don't worry. I think you have a lot to talk about. I will see you in the company tomorrow." He stated, giving her a bright smile, ignoring me.
"In the company?" I asked quizzically.
"I am a marketing manager in Anderson Enterprises Holdings Inc." He replied firmly. "I have recently joined the company, but I am happy to work there. I am glad Aspen gave me a chance to join their incredible team." The bastard added, flashing a smile at my girl.
I raised my eyebrow in confusion. Aspen? He had recently started working there, but he called the boss by his first name.
"Dad likes you a lot. And he is happy that you started working in our company." Sienna commented and gave him a dazzling smile.
I gritted my teeth in annoyance. Of course, Aspen liked him. He would like everyone other than me. I hoped he wouldn't play matchmaker between them.
Henry grinned happily. "See you tomorrow." He leaned towards Sienna and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Nice to see you, Romeo." The bastard added dryly, looking at me.
I nodded without saying anything while trying to control my irritation. Then he left, leaving Sienna and me alone.
"What do you want?" Sienna snapped, folding her arms over her chest.
"What got into you? I turned my back for a while, and you have already started flirting with some bastard." I gritted my teeth in annoyance. "You promised you would wait for me." I added, feeling betrayed. I didn't imagine our first meeting after graduation like this. I felt disappointed and frustrated about her.
"Do you really think I would wait for you when you found someone else to keep you busy?" She mocked and ruffled her hair, full of anger in her eyes. "Or you thought I wouldn't find out and wait for you like a fool?!" She added sarcastically, giving me a fake smile.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked, confused. "There has been no one in my life, just you." I stated firmly.
"Don't pretend. I know about everything. So you don't have any rights to ask for an explanation." She stated angrily.
"What do you know? I don't understand anything. And I fucking have rights to ask my girlfriend to explain me why the hell she flirts with her ex." I snarled, clenching my hand in frustration. "I will not let him steal my woman from me again." I added confidently.
"Don't talk nonsense, Romeo! Henry and I have never dated. We were just friends." She stated firmly and inhaled loudly, totally annoyed.
"Like now." I mocked and gritted my teeth. Thinking about another man next to Sienna made me mad.
"Romeo! I never cheated on you with Henry or someone else, unlike you!" She exclaimed furiously and clenched her fist as tears shimmered in her eyes. She averted her gaze and took a few sips from her drink, trying to calm down.
"What the hell are you talking about? I have never cheated on you." I stated, exasperated.
She gave me a mocking smirk, shaking her head, and rolled her eyes. "Leave me alone, Romeo!" She demanded and sipped her drink, averting her gaze.
"No! You will tell me what got into you!" I exclaimed, irritated. "If you want to get rid of me because your precious friend is back, then tell it to my face instead of accusing me of cheating while I didn't do such a thing." I snapped angrily, ignoring curious eyes on us.
She gritted her teeth, full of anger in her eyes and slapped me across my face. "How dare you?!"
I placed my hand on my cheek in pain. It fucking hurt. My jaw clenched as anger rose inside my body.
"Romeo!" When I grabbed Sienna's wrist, Nathan exclaimed, approaching us. "Calm down! Everyone is watching you two." He stated firmly. "Come on, go to my office and discuss your matter there." He added in an authoritative tone.
"No! I don't have anything to talk about with this person." Sienna refused bitterly and grabbed her clutch. "I am leaving."
