Chapter 3

Sienna felt tears threaten to fall as she lay in his bed.

The bedding smelt faintly of his cologne, and the memories of last night came

back to her. She couldn’t believe she had lost her virginity to a random

stranger. A rude, aggressive stranger, which made it worse. He probably slept

with women all the time, and Sienna meant nothing to him. She felt disgusted

with herself and screamed into a pillow, then forced herself up and got

dressed.

Since her shirt’s buttons had been ripped off, she collected

them to sew back on once she got home. She then tied her long sleeve shirt into

a crop top and noticed the billionaire had left his room key for her to drop

off at the front desk of the hotel. He had cleared all his items out of the

hotel except for a cufflink that she found under the bed when collecting her

buttons. After fetching her bag and grey dress from the other room, Sienna took

the cufflink with her and went to drop off her key card.

“Hello, I have the key card for room 15,” Sienna told the receptionist,

who raised her eyebrow.

“Mr Declan Foster?” The lady asked and scanned Sienna’s

appearance.

“Yes,” Sienna nodded and scratched the inner skin of her

arm. Everyone probably knew what she had done.

“Right. He left this for you.” She added and handed Sienna

an envelope full of cash. Sienna’s heart dropped; she had forgotten entirely

about the money. She thanked the receptionist, who seemed to judge her silently

and shoved the envelope into her bag.

“Chae-Soo! Can I talk…” Mr Manager called as he walked out

of his office. Sienna shook her head and hurried out of the hotel before he

could continue his sentence. Tears ran down her face, and she tried to control

her emotions. She wiped her tears away and walked across the street. Sienna

felt like everyone looked her way and did what the American movies she watched

called the walk of shame. Luckily she had today off.

Sienna walked to the train station as immense guilt overtook

her mind. She had sold her body for money and felt… dirty. As she waited in

line to pay for the train ticket, Sienna pulled out the envelope and noticed

Declan had written on the front. In messy cursive handwriting, he had written: Keep

the change. Sienna felt her blood start boiling and dug her nails into her arm to

help herself calm down.

The conductor gave Sienna a strange look when she gave him a

5000 won note to pay for the ticket. He handed her the change, and she found a

spot on the train to sit. Why was she stupid enough to take the billionaire’s

deal?

“Mom! Dad! Hanuel! I’m home!” Sienna shouted in Korean and

placed the shopping bags full of groceries on the small table they had in the

kitchen/ lounge/ dining room. The house only had 3 rooms, this one, a bathroom

and a bedroom they all shared.

“Everyone is asleep in the room,” Her mom replied and made

her way into the chair near the table. “Why didn’t you come home last night?”

She asked and sat down to catch her breath. Her mom suffered from emphysema due

to the air pollution and harmful chemical fumes she had inhaled over the years

from working at a factory.

“I had a late shift, so my manager offered me to room to

sleep in. I got a massive tip, though.” Sienna covered her lie with a smile and

handed her mom the envelope of money. “It’s about 2.5 million won. We can get

Hanel his treatment and let the doctors help you and Dad.”

Her mom’s hand flew to cover her mouth as she started

crying. “Thank you, my daughter.” Her mom cried and slowly got up to give

Sienna a hug. “I’m so proud of you for working hard and supporting this

family.”

“It’s a pleasure, mom. I have to take care of the ones I

love.” Sienna stated, and tears fell down her face. She couldn’t disappoint her

mom by telling her she got the money by sleeping with a billionaire.

“I bought us some chicken pieces and vegetables. I thought

we could make your famous chicken soup. The one Dad and Hanuel love.” Sienna

added, and her mom happily agreed. She started a fire and helped her mom

prepare the meal before going to wake up her Dad and brother.

“Sienna, my beautiful daughter.” Her Dad smiled and seemed

happy to see her. He was old, and his health declined over the years. She gave

him a hug and felt his fragile frame through the thin blankets. “How was work,

dear daughter?” He asked.

“It was good, thanks, Dad. How’s Hanuel?”

“He started vomiting last night and couldn’t breathe. I

don’t know how we can help him.” Her Dad replied, and worry filled his voice.

Sienna told her Dad the good news, and he cried in front of her for the first

time. She felt emotional about the whole situation and constantly said to

herself that she had done the right thing for her family.

“Hanuel, wake up.” Sienna sweetly called and touched his

forehead. It felt warm, and he was covered in sweat.

“Sienna? Your home.” He smiled and tried to sit up, which

made him start coughing. A few drops of blood were spat onto her white shirt,

but Sienna didn’t care. After he stopped coughing, she helped him sip some

water and wiped a wet cloth across his forehead.

“Mom made her yummy chicken soup.” She smiled and tried to

lift his spirits. “If you try to eat something, then I’ll give you a

chocolate.”

“Chocolate?” Her 10-year-old brother asked as excitement lit

up his eyes. Sienna nodded and took the blankets off him to help him walk to

the lounge. It was the first time in weeks that he agreed to leave the room,

and both her parents were so happy to see him up and about.

They enjoyed the lovely meal together and chatted about what

they would do with the money. Sienna rested her head against her father’s

shoulder and smiled as a rough laugh came from him. Even her brother was

smiling as he slowly nibbled on the chocolate. He had offered everyone a piece,

but they all declined and insisted he eats it alone. Sienna wiped down her body

and changed into her pyjamas later that night. She scratched through her things

for a chain that lost its pendant and put the cufflink of the billionaire onto

the chain. The cufflink was of plain silver in the shape of a triangle, and it

hung against her chest when she put the necklace on.

Sienna decided that she would keep the cufflink as a

reminder of how she saved her family. Of a reminder that there were people in

this world that took advantage of women like herself. A reminder that the cruel

billionaire would never be in her life again. She hated him, but mostly she

hated herself.

The cufflink was also a promise that she wouldn’t let men

like Declan Foster near her again.

***

Sienna returned to work the next day with her head held

high. Everyone could think what they wanted; she knew she had slept with Declan

for a good reason. Today her family had all gone to the private hospital and

received the necessary treatment. Hanuel was booked in, and the hospital agreed

to take good care of him. They even kept her parents for the night since they

needed to be monitored so Sienna would have the house to herself tonight.

Something she’d never thought would happen until she buried her family in the

ground.

“Chae-Soo? Please, talk to me.” Mr Manager stated as he

walked up to her.

“Just let me be, please, sir. I torture myself enough.” She

stated and looked at the ground, ashamed. Keeping her head high was quickly

forgotten.

“I… Did he hurt you?” Mr Manager asked. Sienna shook her

head, and her hand flew to touch the cufflink on her necklace. Lately, that had

been how she controlled her emotions, which was better than scratching and digging

her nails into her skin.

“Right, all I wanted to say is that he left a 5-star review

on the hotel. You can use the room to wash up if you want… but you smell nice.”

He smiled and walked away.

Sienna felt herself breathe again as her boss walked away.

He didn’t judge her, and no one else seemed to know what she did. It remained

her secret, and she preferred that she could act like it never happened. That

night was the last she ever saw and today the last she heard of the

billionaire’s name. Declan Foster was just a figure in her memory.

Her shift started, and Sienna felt her confidence grow back.

She felt happy again and went home with a pocket full of tips. The house felt

empty without her family, but she seemed to enjoy just being alone for a bit. After

having a meal of rice and gravy, she lay in bed but just couldn’t seem to fall

asleep. Sienna played with the cufflink while her other hand made its way down

her stomach.

All the memories with Declan replayed in her head as she started

rubbing her **** with the moisture in between her legs. As much as she wished

she could forget him, he was constantly on her mind. After giving herself an

******, Sienna finally fell asleep and kept her hand holding onto the cufflink.

The billionaire was not going to leave her thoughts anytime

soon.

***

A few weeks later

“Oh, Sienna!” Her friend, Kim-Hae, called as Sienna walked

home. Since high school, she and Kim had been friends and always helped each

other out where they could. Kim-Hae was a beautiful woman with a bob haircut

and big round glasses.

“Kim?” Sienna smiled and wrapped her arms around her friend.

“How have you been?”

“Girl, I tell you, the men in this place are trash. I’ve been

through about 5 since I last saw you.” Kim replied and rolled her eyes.

“That’s awful!”

“Mmmhmm. Anyways, girl, I’m glad I caught you. Here are your

tampons; you probably running out since it’s that time of the month. I’m so

forgetful sometimes….” Kim mumbled on, but Sienna stopped listening. She had

her mind so full of thoughts of that billionaire that she completely forgot she

was supposed to be on her period.

“What’s the date today?” Sienna asked as she started

panicking.

“The 27th, urgh, reminds me of that time this guy

ditched me for our date,” Kim replied with a laugh. Her period should be almost

over by now, but nothing had come yet.

“I’m late.”

“Girl, it happens. You haven’t been with anyone; you don’t

need to worry. It’s probably just stress….” Kim stated and looked at her friend,

who was full-on panicking. “Sienna, what haven’t you told me?”

“Please, no. Kim, please, you have to help me.” She stated

and told her friend everything that had happened. Kim-Hae was shocked but also

impressed that Sienna slept with a billionaire. She tried to calm her friend

down, and they walked to the supermarket to buy a pregnancy test. Well, they

bought about 3 just in case, then went over to Kim’s house since she lived

alone.

After 5 minutes, Kim fetched the pregnancy tests from the

bathroom and walked back to her room.

“Girl, you’re pregnant.” She mumbled and sat next to Sienna,

speechless. Sienna grabbed the tests and burst into tears.

“No, they must be wrong.”

“All three of them say positive; I doubt they’re wrong.”

“How can this be happening? What am I going to do?” Sienna

cried and held onto the cufflink. The first time she had sex… a one night

stand… and of course, the universe had to make it be with a cold billionaire. Sienna

couldn’t believe what was happening; she was pregnant with billionaire Declan

Fosters baby.
