The Wrong Woman

"I'm single, but my heart already belongs to someone else. I'm sorry," Sienna confessed.

Howard smiled ruefully in response. "I understand what you mean. If you and the man you love don't work out, why not give me a shot? Maybe we'd be a better match?" Pausing, Sienna turned to face him.

Howard halted too, his eyes softening as he spoke sincerely, "Sienna, life is full of regrets. I've admired you for so long, and not telling you how I felt during graduation is my biggest regret. Now that I have the opportunity, I don't want to let it slip."

Sienna admired bravery in others. "Howard, I-".Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Before she could finish her words, a figure approached them hastily.

She didn't have time to react when a strong arm encircled Sienna, pulling her into a warm, sturdy chest.

She looked up in surprise, meeting Daniel's resolute and handsome face.

Seeing Sienna embraced by a stranger, Howard's anxiety spiked. "Who are you? What do you want?"

Considering Daniel's imposing presence, Howard refrained from acting recklessly. "Let go of Sienna," he demanded firmly.

Daniel's gaze turned icy, a flicker of anger in his eyes. "I'm sorry, but I need to talk to my girlfriend. Please excuse us."

Girlfriend?

Sienna was dumbfounded, and Howard was equally bewildered.

As Daniel led Sienna away, Howard hurried to catch up, blocking their path. "Sienna, I thought you were single?"

Sienna nodded, then shook her head, blurting out in confusion, "I am single, but he's my ex-boyfriend."

Daniel's expression darkened even further upon hearing this.

"It's alright, you should go back. I can handle this," Sienna said with a strained smile, gesturing for Howard to leave. "Goodbye."

With a heavy heart, Howard realized he had no grounds to compete for Sienna's affection. Reluctantly, he watched as Daniel led her away.

Daniel guided Sienna into the car, ensuring her seatbelt was fastened before setting off. The vehicle glided along the wide road.

Feeling suffocated in the tense

atmosphere, Sienna opened the window, silently gazing at the passing scenery. The cool breeze filled her lungs, yet her chest felt constricted.

Despite the presence of the man she loved, he was not hers to claim. The pain of unrequited love gnawed at her heart.

"Who is he?" Daniel's voice cut through the silence, cold and stern.

Sienna sensed his anger, her response tinged with resentment. "He's my high school classmate, Howard Collins."

"What does he do?" he asked.

"IT, I guess."

"Is he married?"

"He's divorced."

"Is he trying to pursue you?"

"It seems that way."

"Have you agreed?"

"No."

"When do you plan to agree?"

Sienna took a deep breath,

suppressing her rising anger.

Dating me like a suspect?"

"Answer me," Daniel demanded, his anger palpable.

Feeling more distressed, Sienna choked back her grievances. "We've already broken up. Please, stop doing this."

Suddenly, the car came to a stop.

Glancing around, Sienna realized they had arrived at Daniel's place.

With a cold expression, Daniel stepped out of the car, circling to Sienna's side. He opened the door, unfastened her seatbelt, and pulled her out of the car.

Feeling flustered and confused, Sienna demanded, "Daniel, it's late. Why did you bring me to your place?"
