I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 270

"Who is this?" Ford's voice grated through the speaker, dripping with his signature arrogance.

"It's Sienna," she replied, her tone as breezy as if she were catching up with an old college buddy. "Just calling to let you know your little sidepiece is currently having a meltdown in my office."

Out in the hallway, Finn's eyebrows shot up. He instinctively shot a glance past Sienna to where Angeline was sobbing.

She actually knew about that?

A tense second of dead silence stretched across the line.

"What the hell did you just say?" Ford's voice dropped an octave.

"You know exactly what I said. You're the one who ordered Angeline to orchestrate that stunt downstairs, right? It's a shame she's too incompetent to execute it properly. You better get over here and clean up your mess."

"You're completely delusional!" Ford snapped.

Sienna completely ignored his outrage, seamlessly continuing her threat.

"You don't have to show up. But I do have a rather entertaining video sitting on my phone, and I've been debating which social media platform to leak it to. If you don't make an appearance, you can just wait for it to go viral. I am giving you exactly thirty minutes."

She didn't wait for a response before delivering the final blow.

"Mercy International. Don't be late."

Sienna hit 'End Call' and lifted her gaze to Finn.

"Ford is on his way. It's probably best if you aren't standing out here when he arrives."

Finn met her gaze.

"Why would it be a problem?"

Sienna gave him a sideways look.

"Because he's your beloved brother. I plan on tearing him apart, and I wouldn't want you to feel bad watching it happen."

A dark, amused smirk tugged at the corner of Finn's mouth.

"Him?" He paused, the disdain practically radiating off him.

"Rip him to shreds for all I care." He paused, his gaze softening into something fiercely protective. "My only concern is that you don't get hurt."

Sienna's heart skipped a heavy beat. She immediately dropped her gaze, refusing to acknowledge the electricity in the air.

"Just walk away. If you stand out here, I'll be too distracted worrying about how you feel to get the job done..."

Finn's chest seized.

Did she just say she cared about his feelings?

His fingers curled into loose fists.

"Alright. I'll step back. But I won't go far. Scream if you need me. And whatever you do, leave that door open."

Exactly forty minutes later, Ford strode into the department.

He was immaculately dressed in a bespoke tailored suit, but his face was a thunderstorm of absolute fury.

His predatory gaze swept through the office, lingering with sheer venom.

Angeline practically threw herself at his legs.

"Ford..."

He violently shoved her aside with his knee, locking his eyes dead onto Sienna.

He stalked up to her desk, planting his hands on the immaculate surface and leaning over her like a looming shadow.

"Sienna Sterling, you've got some serious nerve. What exactly is your endgame here?"

The office door remained wide open.
