I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 45

Chop it off... chop it off... chop it off...

Sienna's eyes flew wide open in absolute terror!

The last time he was upset, he merely threatened her with a lawsuit. Now he was bypassing the legal system entirely to chop her hand off?!

That was her right hand! The hand she used to eat, draw her designs, and cop a feel!

"Jorrod! No!"

Sienna violently jerked her head up from the desk, gasping desperately for air. Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs in sheer panic, and a fine layer of cold sweat coated her forehead.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep, but it had grown significantly darker outside. The sky was heavy and oppressive, completely shrouded by the torrential rain as if draped in a thick black cloth.

Clutching her chest, which was still heaving from the nightmare, she grabbed her phone to check the time.

One-thirty in the afternoon. It was exactly time to start working again.

All around her, her colleagues were casting suspicious glances in her direction.

Two sharp, sarcastic claps echoed through the room.

"Look at that, everyone. Witness Sienna Quinn's unparalleled dedication. Even in her sleep, she's agonizing over our competitors. You all really need to learn from her proactive spirit."

It was Yardley, his mouth dripping with venom.

Usually, Sienna's temper would flare up and she would fire back immediately. But in this moment, she had absolutely no energy to deal with him. Her mind was entirely consumed by the scene outside.

Beyond the row of office windows, the storm raged.

Dark clouds completely blocked the sun. Raindrops relentlessly battered the glass, resembling a dense, inescapable net of water that cast a miserable gloom over everything.

Jorrod...

He couldn't still be waiting for her, could he?

Sienna forcefully dragged her gaze away and tried to resume her work, but her thoughts were entirely hijacked by the deafening crackle of the downpour outside.

She kept telling herself one thing.

Once the rain stopped, the crushing weight of her guilt would finally ease.
