The Wrong Woman

In the days that followed, Sienna felt completely disoriented. If she didn't love Daniel, there would be nothing to agonize over. She would have moved on decisively. But the problem was, she still loved him. Even after more than a year since their breakup, his pleas to get back together still stirred her heart. She scheduled a meeting with her lawyer to discuss court dates and other important matters.

At the law firm, the lawyer was busy attending to other clients. She could hear an angry woman's voice coming from inside through the slightly ajar door.

"I defied my parents to be with him, supporting him every step of the way. He said I was the only one he would ever love, his everything. But he turned out to be a worthless scumbag.

"Now that he's successful, he's forgotten what we went through together. He transferred all his assets to his mistress under the guise of investments. He wants to leave me with nothing. You have to help me." Sienna felt deeply troubled by what she overheard. She felt sorry for the woman inside.
