Chapter 367
“After hearing Winifred’s suggestion, she agreed to let Fay stay with the family and decided not to send him out on any more missions.
“Thorn?” Sienna frowned, looking puzzled.
Winifred replied, “Yeah, he’s in the hospital.” She didn’t mention that Clark was there too. “I’ll swing by and check on him when I visit Fay this afternoon. By the way, Winifred, is there anything else you want to know?” Sienna asked, looking at Winifred.
Winifred’s gaze was earnest. “Can I ask you something?”
Sienna ruffled her hair and gave her a gentle smile. “Of course. Anything you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
Winifred asked, “Sienna, who exactly are you in the Umbrella Organization?”
The Umbrella Organization was the largest underground web in the world–a legendary assassin organization. Fay was one of the Umbrella Organization, which totally explained why his people were so insanely skilled. When Winifred ran into them, she never had a shot at escaping.
“I’m the head,” Sienna said calmly.
Winifred had always thought Sienna must have some real pull in the Umbrella Organization, but she never imagined it could be this huge, especially since Sienna was already running the Noir family.
“Sienna, you…” Winifred’s eyes went wide in disbelief.
Sienna couldn’t help but laugh. “What’s wrong?”
Winifred snapped back to her senses. “Nothing, it’s just… I’m really surprised. I never realized you were this amazing.”
It was a level of power she’d never even dreamed Sienna could have.
Sienna’s gaze grew distant as she looked out the window at a bird. “No one really knows what path life will take them down. I never imagined I’d lose my memory for ten years. On this road, for everything I’ve gained, I’ve lost even more people along the way—friends who had risked their lives with her, mentors she once looked up to, and confidants she trusted. She had stepped over all of them to get to where she was now.
There was a side of her that could never see the light of day. To the Noir family, all they knew was that she was the reason for their success today. They had no clue just how many people she’d killed to make that happen. Even her younger sisters from the Noir family, who had cared for her so well, ended up dying by her own gun.
Some memories are better left buried. All of it was so she’d have the strength to stand her ground against anyone or anything.
“Sienna,” Winifred said, wrapping her arms around her from behind.
Sienna said, “If you want to check out the Umbrella Organization, just have Lana and Reno take you there. You might like it.”
“Can I?” Winifred's face lit up with a bright smile. She’d always been into this sort of thing, and now she finally had the chance to visit the Umbrella Organization.
“Of course. You’re my sister,” Sienna replied.
“Sienna,” Winifred said softly.
Later that afternoon, Sienna arrived at the hospital. Fay was standing by the window, lost in thought, so deep in his own world that he didn’t even notice her footsteps.
“Looks like you’ve been getting a bit too comfortable lately,” came a cold, clear voice.
Fay whipped around, heart pounding, and saw Sienna–the woman who’d been on his mind day and night. He immediately dropped to his knees, eyes locked on her face. “Madam, I was wrong.”
“What did you do wrong?” Sienna looked down at him, her gaze icy and commanding.
Fay’s eyelashes trembled as he clung to the hem of Sienna’s dress. “I shouldn’t have had any delusions. Please, I’m begging you, just give me one more chance. I swear I’ll never displease you again.”
Sienna kicked him aside, her eyes utterly cold, not a hint of emotion. “Fay, I trained you myself. I know exactly what kind of person you are,” she said, turning her back as she spoke. “If you want to stay, then stay. But don’t ever lay a hand on yourself again.”
Fay’s pupils contracted sharply, his face turning ashen. ‘She knows it all!’ he thought in shock. The wound on his shoulder hadn’t actually been that bad. He’d stabbed himself again on the way here just to make it look worse.
